Description I've made a new friend, and it's name is photoshop.

After so much fear and no good way to transfer my pencil sketches around, I finally got up the courage to try my hand at a non-vector program. Wow. You can expect to see a lot more photoshop from me in the future, though I'll still be working a lot more with vectors, since that's what I really know.

And since very few of you know much about Dr. Morgan, here's a full character profile to accompany his/her amazingly flattering portrait.


Basics--

Name: Morgan Von Morgan
Alias: The Undertaker
Age: 34
Birthday: Unknown
Race: Human (Probably)
Gender: Unknown
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Brown
Height: 183cm, 6'
Weight: 63.5kg, 140lb
Bloodtype: Unknown
Occupation: Funeral Director
Habits: None Noted
Educational Background: M.D.
Mental Illness: Mild Necrophilia
Sexuality: Unknown

Dr. Von Morgan is a talented, albeit frighteningly odd mortician working under the direction of Matsuko, alongside Vin and Edward. The head representative (and sole employee) of Shallow Canyon Memorial Chapel, Morgan does his/her job with please AND ease. Much to the mystification of Vin, Edward, and many others, Morgan's androgyny has caused arguments among colleagues; behind Morgan's back, of course. Morgan has a bad habit of sneaking up on people when they least expect it, and asking if he/she can "measure" them, for burial purposes. Vin is horrified by Morgan's attitude, and often refers to him/her as the "Necrophiliac" or "Zombie Freak," not deviating far from the truth.

Likes--

Dead things, funerals, zombies, fine wine, crime scene photos, dried flowers, clammy skin, cold weather, soap operas and other daytime television shows.

Dislikes--

Sunlight, bright colours, beautiful people who, for whatever reason, still seem to be alive...

Hobbies--

Popping up behind people without warning, giving creepy sneers, flirting with Valterra, slicing up corpses, rejecting Edward's sexual advances and telling him to "come back when he's no longer breathing," measuring colleagues, casket crafting, telling people "what I would like to do to your body."

Memorable Quote--

Morgan: Frankly, Vin, I don't think you quite understand the beauty of a lifeless body. You see, unlike the living, they--

Vin: Let me guess. Unlike the living, personality and mentality are no longer an issue. All you end up with is a cold shell of what was once a human. And in death, people are all the same.

Morgan: ...Now that's just not true. In death, people are not all the same... Organ colouration can vary quite widely. Why just the other day, I cut up a man who had an orange liver... Can you believe it? Orange.

'Tis alright, its from a manga/anime a friend showed me called "Kuroshitsuji", or "Black Butler". I like it because of the character "The Undertaker", who is COMPLETELY insane!

My pleasure! And NOOOOOOO!

this is nice. im liking the contrast between the character and the orange background. it is different from what i would have done. i would have been tempted to thro in a dark and somewhat gloomy bg.

Why did you ask me for help when you seem to got it down well enough?! This is pretty damn good, much better than my first attempts at the Photoshop. I especially like what you did with his/her furry boots. And the boot's shine is so sexy I can barely pull my eyes from it.

The only critique I can give you is the coloring on the skin. I like that it's a deathly pale color (which is probably what you were going for) but it also seems to have less detail and shading than the rest of him/her.

But, I won't deny, Dr. Morgan tickles the morbid side of my humor. I'd love to read some moar dialogue ;3 *also interested in Valterra and Dr. Morgan interactions*

Thats-Your-Funeral In reply to pumpkinpeaches1 [2008-11-13 03:43:33 +0000 UTC]

Eh, it's okay... The last time I tried to do something, it was super fail. But I guess I suddenly got okay at it. (Actually, the furry part is part of the pants... His/her shoes are just classic dress shoes...) But thank you... I like that shine, too.

Oh, really...? Ironically, when I coloured it, I thought the skin was the bet part. XD And yes, his/her skin is supposed to be corpse-like in colour...

Ohohohohoho, Morgan and Valterra's vocal exchanges can get a little risque...

pumpkinpeaches1 In reply to Thats-Your-Funeral [2008-11-13 04:17:41 +0000 UTC]

Furry pants?! Whoa, that's pretty hip. Oh yeah. I'm so gonna steal his/her shiny shoes!

To me it looked a bit 2-D compared with the rest of your shading.

I can imagine! A homicidal vampire and a necrophiliac with a love for all things lifeless!

fighterxaos [2008-11-11 21:30:22 +0000 UTC]

Whoa! You actually used Photoshop? So you've been using vector based programs all this time eh? I remember during some of the training in the graphic arts lab we were learning some of the vector based tools that photoshop had.

...Anyways seems you're already good with it but if ya want any tips just ask. (I am training with it to be paid for it you know)

Thats-Your-Funeral In reply to fighterxaos [2008-11-11 23:49:06 +0000 UTC]

Hhhmmm, I didn't even know photoshop had vector based tools... Did you think they were hard...?

And thanks for the offer, I'll definitely send you a note if I have any questions! Usually, though, I'm okay just messing around with it until something cool happens. XD

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

fighterxaos In reply to Thats-Your-Funeral [2008-11-12 00:00:31 +0000 UTC]

Yeah the pen tool is a vector based tool. At first I thought it was hard I was like O_o But after that first time I'm pretty ok with them.

You're welcome! Usually just messing around works fine, but if you ever get the look on your face don't hesitate to ask. Even if I don't know my professor will.

Thats-Your-Funeral In reply to fighterxaos [2008-11-12 00:10:28 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, once you get the hand of vectoring, it's a lot easier than non-vector things. It just takes longer to learn to use them properly, for some reason...

And thank you so much!

I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at a character profile. Do you have stories about Dr. Morgan? He/she amuses me and I want to know more about him/her.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Thats-Your-Funeral In reply to mistressoreo [2008-11-11 06:44:04 +0000 UTC]

Actually, Morgan's not but a minor character from my comic... So for now, he/she's been projected into my many scripts and comics, and I fear that's how he/she'll be staying for a long, long time... Even if the comic was published, Morgan wouldn't show up very often, until a gave him/her his own arch or so. Ever still, he/she is a really fun character, and I'm glad you think so, too! XD

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

mistressoreo In reply to Thats-Your-Funeral [2008-11-11 06:47:57 +0000 UTC]

Sad story!! I think you should totally make him/her into a main character.

Psst! Another reason why I really like Dr. Morgan is because it's fun to say "he/she"

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Thats-Your-Funeral In reply to mistressoreo [2008-11-11 06:55:02 +0000 UTC]

No room... I have so many, it's rediculous. I have mains, then secondaries, then minors. Let's see... All together, I have...

6 mains
7 Secondaries
Countless minors

But I might turn Morgan into a secondary, if I can come up with a good arc for him/her... XD

That reason you like him/her is the sole reason I hate him/her... XDD

mistressoreo In reply to Thats-Your-Funeral [2008-11-11 06:59:26 +0000 UTC]

The more characters the merrier! But I guess if you're trying to do a comic strip, that is a lot of them. And who am I to talk? I don't even use half of my characters for anything real.

pssh!

ROFL Me neither, really... I just have a bunch of short comics and scripts... I've kind of given up the thought of ever having a published graphic novel. XD

mistressoreo In reply to Thats-Your-Funeral [2008-11-11 07:06:11 +0000 UTC]

But you shouldn't give up. You're art is really good, and while I admitedly have never read any of your comics or scripts, I'm sure they're marvelous too. A novel would have to be amazing!

And as for the short comics and scripts, you've still got one up on me. Most of my charaters only have profiles, and some of them don't even have that. Just names and personalities that I've mentally assigned them.

Thats-Your-Funeral In reply to mistressoreo [2008-11-11 09:20:29 +0000 UTC]

Haha, well, I haven't really uploaded any scripts or comics, so I wouldn't have expected you to have seen them, anyways. XD

You should try to do a few short comics! I've noticed that people seem to come to love characters more when you have a few things that reveal their personality in a "real" situation. Plus, they're always really fun!

mistressoreo In reply to Thats-Your-Funeral [2008-11-11 23:26:34 +0000 UTC]

I'm not consistant enough to do a comic. Nor am I witty enough. But for some reason I am feeling like I should write more, and last night I started a story with a character I've never written with before. And I've gotta say, I'm really liking the way it's turning out.
