80's

I thought I've done a pretty good job downplaying it, but this is totally set in the 80's. I don't want to explicitly, deliberately say so though. I think it would be nice to slowly make things add up to it. Enough things like this and anyone with half a brain should be able to connect the dots. It's not that subtle. P.s.- Despite what dumb parties make people think nowadays, the 80's wasn't that crazy.  Staci  and I watch a lot of 80's TV* and we tend to make fun of how no one remembers what people actually wore in the 80's. Yeah, the fashion was bad, but not every single person dressed in what was absolutely  in  at any given second.

It looks like I got carried away with the scratches, but I was in a hurry and those are the only scratches I had on the spur. I have a folder somewhere on my computer full of nothing but paper textures and scuffs and folds, but I can't find it. Those are textures I found online quickly. I think Staci has some cheap newsprint somewhere, I need to ask to scan some. This would look better if I had some real newsprint for the texture. Here 's the working size version. The texture on the black would look better if it weren't so blurry, but that's all I could find quickly. There's some stuff I'd change if I were doing it again, but it was practice, so who cares. The halftones could be bigger. Smaller than a certain size, it's pretty much impossible to do recognizable faces. Not horrible for a second attempt at it, but I need to scan my own papers so I can get some high quality textures I can use in the long run. Also, 80's.
