QUEEN LATIFAH in Jersey City | MTV (1991)

The model of the Opera Garnier at the Musée d'Orsay offers a unique view of the building's structure and also an impression of what it looked like in the past. The ceiling in the model still features the original art by Eugène Lenepveu, and you can still see the pulleys over the stage which have been removed from the actual building because they are no longer needed. The only thing that really seems to be missing here is the chandelier!

The five cellars under the stage and the lake beneath the fifth cellar. The stage as well as the two first cellars are slightly tilted.

Are you afraid of using blend modes in photoshop? Are you overwhelmed by the choices?

Here are some simple charts showing the effects of photoshop layer Blend Modes (not to be confused with filters) using saturated colors. The columns of colors are on top of the rows of colors. These are the results that I get when I flip through the blend modes. If you use dark colors over light or light colors over dark, you will have different effects. Do not be afraid to experiment with blend modes! They can be quite fun! And wow, do they give you awesome color palettes…

MAC shortcut - Click on move tool, shift (+) or shift (-)

PC Shortcut -  Click blend mode box, then use ↑ and ↓ arrows

This is a brief overview. If you want super in-depth explanation about blend modes and how you can hone in on how to get the effects that you want, click here.

Who are we?

FablesPro is a new website created by the founders of Top Web Comics. Twenty years ago, they put up a simple comic rating site that allowed creators to post banners, links, and receive popularity votes from their reader base. Comics like XKCD, Pearls before Swine, and countless others have used TWC to grow.

What happened?

To TopWebComics? Nothing, it's still there and going strong.

BUT, the creators have taken notice of this huge cultural rift opening up between creators and their platforms in the last five years. There was a time when creators had online platforms, alongside their private sites, providing additional reach. This relationship was not competitive, or parasitic. Everybody won.

These days, if the platform sites are not advocating AI, they're charging you to exist, and forever tightening content restrictions to appeal to their advertisers. We find that...distasteful. Gross, even.

What did you do?

We made our own. And we're doing it old-school. This is a comic platform that does it for the culture, we are on a mission to fix the webcomic stratosphere.

How?

By paying our creators. Novel, isn't it? Every series on FablesPro is paid BY FablesPro, for their page views. Not the other way around.

That means every page you turn pays X cents to the creator.

If you want to support your favorite comics, literally all you have to do is read them. We have accumulated 200+ SFW titles and 50+ NSFW titles so far. We welcome ALL skill levels, and even have a couple of bonafide publishing houses in our ranks.

Our promotional banners are a random rotation. We do random series highlights on our socials. We have a pretty great Mass upload tool, that can handle images and PDFs alike. Our page size is more generous than other platforms.

Longscroll format? Check.

Book/page format? Check.

Banging Discord? Check.
