"Greetings from your friendly neighborhood tax-collector!" (MacDraw II) - eviltoast

The Sheriff of Nottingham was that character I loved to hate. He could be so sleazy and it was hilarious watching all the townsfolk react when he’d show up pretending to be likeable. His design and voice acting made him one of my favorite characters in the movie.

    MacDraw was one of my favorite things about my first Mac. One thing I loved about it was that you could set up mirrors across the canvas and make really neat designs really quickly. I’ve not seen a drawing program with something similar since.

      Whoa, I’m going to have to look into that! I’ve never actually done a deep dive into any of the program’s features beyond the basic stuff. I did learn earlier today while putting together a rough animation of my Vivi picture that there’s a rotate tool, which I was relieved to discover. Great for those times when something just seems slightly off-angle and it would be annoying to adjust every point manually to fix it. (I used it on the Sheriff’s nose for this drawing.)

          I’m using Mini vMac, a great little old Macintosh emulator. https://www.gryphel.com/c/minivmac/

          I started out just getting my nostalgia fix, then realized I still really enjoy using MacDraw just like when I was a kid so I’ve kept going back to it whenever I get the itch to draw something.
