There's a missing Hardboiled Slime

Also, the Scott McCloud is awesome.

Slimes in my folder: 94

Slimes in the gallery: 46

EDIT: Also, the batman slime in the gallery has a non-transparent background

EDIT: Here is a slime template in SVG format, in case anybody else wants to make slimes using <a href="http://inkscape.org">InkScape</a>: <a href="http://hamsterrepublic.com/tmp/slime-te ... ate.svg</a>

I thought the EPS would cover that, can InkScape not read EPS?

Hmmm, how do you have so many more slimes, I wonder. I uploaded everything I made that isn't actively being used.

How many does this account for?

I should clarify. I mean this:

If a user requests a slime, it is exclusive to them until they change it. As soon as they change it, it should go into the gallery.

So what I meant to say is, I uploaded everything the original requesters are no longer using.

That would account for a lot, and should leave 15? 20?

Two things I'm seeing are that a) James has saved all slimes, not just the ones you made and b) Detective Slime wasn't uploaded, so it's possible there are a few you missed.

A special thanks to James for my Smogblob avatar. OIL

I forgot to look for detective slime last night.

But yeah, the only slimes I have on my HD are the ones I made. That won't account for all of them.

Also, I put those into the gallery because they're technically mine and I want to put them there. I don't think we should collect slimes and put them in the gallery without the artists' permission.

Permission would include "put this one in the gallery" on an individual basis as well as "every slime i ever make and post can go into the gallery, forever".

The contest slimes are in the gallery under the first clause.

Nope, no EPS for InkScape. InkScape supports the following vector formats:
svg
svgz
pdf
ai
wpg
ggr
dia
outline
xaml

Also for the slimes, yes, I collect *all* slimes I see, so I do have a lot made by other people. By my rough count I think about 74 of them are FortisSlimes, 10 of them are JamesSlimes, and the rest are from various other SlimeArtists

I give my permission to add any worthwhile slime I have posted in a thread here. As for the slimes that I have PM'ed to people, I relinquish the decision to the recipients.

Silly me. I can definitely make an AI version. For some reason I thought AI was more proprietary than EPS. Of course, it's kind of moot because Illustrator can open SVG too.

I felt that this was a good time to point out that my avatar has apparently been waiting 4 years since this comic to be made:

I want one, but I have no idea of vector graphics and I can't draw cleanly. Can somebody contact me and help make one? I have a prototype for it, it looks good but is too messy.
