First phase involved comping the two reference pics together in CorelDraw 10. I then worked on the result in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ambientdesign.com\/artrage.html\">ArtRage 2.2<\/a>, using a very loose chalk pen to do linework, and a roller to do the colour. I then eliminated the linework. I was eating a breakfast of muesli and yoghurt when I completed the vomit plume.<\/i><\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">Roy Blumenthal is a writer, director, artist, and <a href=\"http:\/\/snipurl.com\/visualfacilitator\">visual facilitator<\/a>.
