The NP member comic discussion thread!

[Meister]

What a hangover feels like, brilliantly illustrated in sprite form. Very nicely done. And a belated happy birthday to the two of you!

[Silly Kitty]

That was so great Meister.

I espically loved the Ninja Camp disguise. More more more!

Oh and AJ, I'm glad I wasn't randomly picked.

[Fenris]

I thought it was me when you said I hadn't been fed for a few days.

Yay! My bum sprite is finally used in a comic other than my own! Huzzah!

Take the cracker, Rick, take the cracker. You know you want to.

DO IT! :p

EDIT: I just thought of this joke.

JEEZ, Rick, took you long enough!

[SNAFU]

Yeah, don't cross AJ when she drinks. She can break your arm in a few places without much effort; then she'd order another drink and pour it on you.

[Demon with a Glass Hand]

Wow. I am really happy to see Flarecobra.

... my girlfriend isn't going to be happy about that.

Really happy. And I'm exiting stage right saying 'Glee.' That is surprisingly like me. I'm always exiting stage right saying 'Glee.' And pissing off my girlfriend. I'm always doing that too.

It's like Rick knows me.

[mauve]

YAY! Mike in pirate form! Great drawing, I can't wait to see this series _mike was hinting at. Especially since I'm a bit of a pirate myself, as fellow camwhores know.

AJ- Somehow I'm deleriously happy that I can't read whatever it is you're telling Skyshot. Hey Skyshot, can your cleric's skills heal the damage placed upon your mind, or do we have to call the men in white coats again? Very funny, AJ! And happy late birthday!

Meister- Cliffhangers?! Curse you, you nonconformist ninja you! This is good stuff!

RZ- Yay! The Return of the Bum!

ZJ- One word: MEEP!!!
Heh heh. Most amusing, O Bloody One.

[Skyshot]

AJ -- Good grief. First to wish the girl a happy birthday on two forums and she rips me apart. Wish I could read that micro-text.

RZ -- I didn't know my staff could do that, but eh. Also, what on earth are Demon and FC doing in those last few panels?

MT -- You have seen my spell list, right? Other than that, nice.

[mammothtank]

MT -- You have seen my spell list, right? Other than that, nice.Yes, I have. "Cure" is just easier than "Cure light wounds" or whatever it was called.

[Great Cartoonist]

Blah. September already. The feelings are mutual, AJ.

Well, holy crud, Meister's getting into the spirit of comics again.

[_mike]

Hmm, you remind me of Phil, GC.

[Skyshot]

Hmm, GC is also in senior year. Funny, I pretty much stopped making comics after my year started, too.

[Loyal]

Heh, nice one, AJ. Mind telling us what was in the Hypertext?

[Dragonsbane]

Heh...I must have that sarcastic raised-eyebrow sprite of me! Besides, arresting FC for loitering does sound like something a person of my evil nature would do.

Arlia Janet: One of the few beings EVIL enough for me to enjoy getting drunk with.

Yes, I know my last comic was inconclusive, and needs a sequel. I'll make one...eventually...maybe...hopefully.

Meister, that was brilliant in its portrayal of Sasami's fluffy kawaiiness. Plus it was funny.

As for everyone I've forgotten...so much brilliance, my brain explodes thinking about it.

[Skyshot]

Whee, new RZ comic!

Wonder what the deal is with the markings. It may translate to anything, from this (http://forum.nuklearpower.com/showpost.php?p=309855&postcount=1) to the Question to Life, the Universe, and Everything.

Hmm...bound to be somewhere there who knows what it says...

[RickZarber]

LALALALA I AM STUPID IN THE FACEDammit, Skyshot, how did you discover the secrets of the runes so quickly?!

Seriously though, I have no idea what the actual runes say, but I know what I'm gonna say they mean! :p

[Skyshot]

Dammit, Skyshot, how did you discover the secrets of the runes so quickly?!I think it has something to do with my overpowering sexiness. It re-charges batteries, repairs blown-out lightbulbs, and boils water. Rune translation is nothing.

So we have, what, at least eight people there? Rick, myself, Demon, Flare, L2N, Fenris, BMG!, and Melfice. Demon and Flare got nothing, and Fenris is a wildcard on the translation. Either he knows it and just ignored it, or he doesn't know it.

I got nothing. But hey, if you ever need stress relief, just say that spammer's line out loud in a sing-song voice. It feels great.

Incidentally, most of you can't see it, but we've been active like an anthill over at Fenris's forums. Stay tuned for something almost as awesome as I am.

[Fenris]

Considering this is coming from Skyshot, expect something similar to a pile of dung. :p

[Skyshot]

Hey, you're as pivotal to this plan as I am. Moreso, really.

Incidentally, I fired up my Hyperbolic Omni-Cognate Neutron Wrangler to get a translation of the runes. You can see the various vectors, calculations, and processes involved along with the final result here.

[mauve]

I think it has something to do with my overpowering sexiness. It re-charges batteries, repairs blown-out lightbulbs, and boils water. Rune translation is nothing. Someone has been hanging out with Demon with a Glass Hand too much, methinks. ;)

My internet connection hasn't deemed me worthy enough to read RZ's comic yet, sadly. It spends far too much time (15 minutes so far) loading RMB's animation. So I haven't seen either yet, and I am sad.

[Demon with a Glass Hand]

Someone has been hanging out with Demon with a Glass Hand too much, methinks. ;)

Someone hasn't been hanging out with Demon too much. Dammit, girl, we had plans! And you ditched me!

You have no idea what you left me to. It's not easy surviving in a household with two beautiful women when you have to pretend you're gay so the landlord doesn't throw you out on your ass.

I'm being gang beaten in your new comic ...?! ... ... ... you're breaking up with me aren't you?

[Skyshot]

Now there's something for the Worst Way To thread.

Also, that latest comic was excellent. Especially the shiney poster. I don't know about the rest of it, I always read to the point where I get thrown across a room and then I get too depressed to finish it...:(

[Fenris]

BWAHAHAHAHA! Mauve, that was, as always, a work of art.

Nice job!

[Loyal]

XD

I LOVE that expression on my face in Panel 10. XD

I also liked what was going in the background. Phil and Mike knocking each other out, Rick and Dave pillaging the bodies, and the former two waking up and blaming each other for the stolen cash. Priceless. :p

[phil_]

They took my five-iron! Now what will protect me from the zombies?! Oh, and thah t'was an excellent comic, as always.

[_mike]

Am I to take Phil and my actions in the last panel as a sissy slap fight? Awsome comic as always.

[Silly Kitty]

That was so awesome Mauve. You get pie!

I looked so mean in your comic though. ^_^

[mammothtank]

Everything since my last comic...

GC: That would be a very interesting day indeed. MegaTokyo rocks.
RMB: Cool, guns.
RZ: Wow, Demon switches gears fast. Nice.
MM: That has to be the best "puppy dog eyes" sprite I've ever seen. Awesome.

[mauve]

Mammothtank- Genius! Only a genius could come up with a comic title that includes the word "Finding" followed by a forum member username! I love it!

I'm being gang beaten in your new comic ...?! ... ... ... you're breaking up with me aren't you? Hey, you asked for another cameo, man. I had a role open for the character "AJ and IC's Punching Bag" and you fit the role beautifully. That's Oscar material, right there. Fantastic acting, Demon; Bravo!

I always read to the point where I get thrown across a room and then I get too depressed to finish it... Try viewing it from a philosophical standpoint- you... ok, nevermind. I lost that train of thought. Yeah, you got your butt kicked by Loyal. I just like yanking your chain. ^_^

That was so awesome Mauve. You get pie!

I looked so mean in your comic though. ^_^YAY! PIE! Most of the time you're angry because they're beating up Demon. You're not joining it at all, if that makes you feel better.

Am I to take Phil and my actions in the last panel as a sissy slap fight? An uber-cool NINJA sissy slap fight, yo!

[Demon with a Glass Hand]

I also fed that line to Rick Zarber, Mauve.

It works on both men and women. Well, for me it does. I'm great like that.

[mammothtank]

AJ: You seriously did that? Wow. That takes a memory lapse of epic proportions.
Say, why is Dynamite on the ground in the last few panels?

[Arlia Janet]

I didn't do that per say. It's just an exaggeration of how a patient tore my scrubs in the hospital where I worked this summer.

Dynamite passed out.

[Loyal]

What's with DB's eyes? Isn't the eye-color-thing supposed to be an invert of human eyes? o_O

[Arlia Janet]

I guess that's true Loyal. At the time, I thought the sprite sheet I had was wrong or else it would be really hard to tell where DB is looking.

Edit: (to keep from double posting) Interesting comic Patrat. Call me crazy- or drunk- but why are there 2 of me in your fantasy? Am I not enough?

[mammothtank]

"So... those green things weren't peppers?"
"Nope."
:O_o:
And RZ's brother finally appears. Greetings, StuntMan.

[Patrat]

Heh, Yay for stunt man. Nice comic too mammothtank.

[phil_]

So, I'm guessing Quesadillas are to Stuntman as Mountain Dew is to Phil. Am I right?

Of course I am. (http://forum.nuklearpower.com/showpost.php?p=293128&postcount=510)

[RickZarber]

So, I'm guessing Quesadillas are to Stuntman as Mountain Dew is to Phil. Am I right?Hehe, yeah, I thought of that too. In fact, I made him change the original ending line because it was almost the exact wording...

[Loyal]

Heh, nice explanation of how my Official Sprite went to FF6-style, Patrat. ^_^

[Bailey]

and yet it completely ignored the fact that my sprites changed!

oh well, it had to for the comic to work.

[Patrat]

Yeah, I was thinking of bringing chicago in there too. I mean, NO ONE is as sexy as that. : DDD
But if i had, it would have been a lot longer.
and it prolly wouldn't be done until tommorow. And i wanted it out soon, so it didn't keep muave waiting. :sweatdrop

[Bailey]

oh, that's right, mauve needs to post

*taps foot*

hurry up already!

[Fenris]

She does.

Anyway, an announcement.

I have Comic Artist's block officially now. Expect my next update sometime other than soon.

That is all.

[mauve]

I do? I DO! That's right; you folks can't hear my thoughts like the other voices can. How unlucky you are.

Pat, that was great! Nice way to introduce a new sprite. Unlike MY handling of such delicate topics, which usually means I completely ignore the fact that Loyal has changed or I stick with the old sprite because I'm lazy, a la Newb's sprite. :sweatdrop Thanks for the tip beforehand; I've got no problem with adding this to my continuity. It means I don't have to write it in to the comic. (more laziness.)

GC- Great drawings! I expecially like the picture of Doll in the second panel. And of course, that fantastic woman in the feathered mage's hat! ^_^

Stuntman- He's here! Hooray! "Those green things weren't peppers?" Ha ha ha, I love it!

AJ- Stop being funnier than me, dammit! ;) I was laughing out loud!

[Lycanthrope]

If you can actually hear us talk, that worries me. Last time I checked this was a text-oriented form of communication...;-)

[Great Cartoonist]

Do I detect a trend here? First I do it, then RickyZ does it? Is it a coincidence or is there some sort of conspiracy?

Oh and Loyal, I envy your acquisition of that dragon dagger.

[RickZarber]

Do I detect a trend here? First I do it, then RickyZ does it? Is it a coincidence or is there some sort of conspiracy?Well, it's been drawn for a while now, I just haven't been able to post it. :p

Plus, my first (http://forum.nuklearpower.com/showpost.php?p=268578&postcount=365) and second (http://forum.nuklearpower.com/showpost.php?p=286638&postcount=442) comics were drawn by hand. Since those took far too long to make, I got into sprites... That doesn't mean I stopped sketching, though. There's still comic #3 half-finished somewhere, (though the joke is probably outdated now). I've also got a JAQ sketch I've been meaning to finish... though its cast list is now incomplete...

[shiney]

I love Stargate SG-1. They better stil have it for good prices when I move back out there or BY GOD Rick I'm COMING FOR YOU.

And I'll get your brother through the use of a vastly overcomplicated hostage plan.

[Bailey]

Do what I do:

set TiVo to grab all of monday.

they have a Stargate SG1 marathon every monday on scifi channel.

[mammothtank]

Cool, now Loyal's an Archer/Thief, to counter Skyshot's Cleric/Thief.

Newb: I'm no good with those things. It never does what I want it to. Who did you attack, anyway? Druidal?

AB: Where ya been, man? Glad you're back to comicing. Is... is that a Timberwolf? Yipe.

[Bailey]

I wasn't paying much attention. it was whoever was found tied up yesterday in the general forum.

EDIT: also, post #3300! whoo!

[Astral Harmony]

Yep, sorry. What can I say? No excuses for me. I've been lazy, I've been slow, and I'm been interested in other stuff. No schedule anymore since everytime I make one up, I always fall behind, so I'm just gonna wing it from now on.

[Loyal]

Thief/Archer, actually. >_> That's not all I can do, either...

[RickZarber]

I love Stargate SG-1. They better still have it for good prices when I move back out there or BY GOD Rick I'm COMING FOR YOU.

And I'll get your brother through the use of a vastly overcomplicated hostage plan.Well then, I'd better hope for my sake they go back down, 'cause I'm sorry to report that as of Sunday the sale ended and the price jumped back up. (Really sorry to report; I was only able to get season one! There were only a few copies of that and season four sitting on a nearly empty four rows of shelves!)

[mauve]

And I'm behind schedule again.

RZ- "MEISTER FOUND" Great drawing, RZ! I love poor Loyal over in the corner. Ever suffering, our Loyal. And of course, I really love that fabulous looking mage in the kimono-y dress and kick-arse hat! ^ _ ^
"BANK ACCOUNT" WEBCOMICS TAKE MY MONIES!!! Yee hee heheheheee!

AB- Hooray, she's back! The mech wreathed in flames was just so perfect. Sorry Mammoth, but why take a tank when you could have a battlemech equiped with missiles?

And I'll get your brother through the use of a vastly overcomplicated hostage plan. That's the type of plan that works best! Trust me!

[_mike]

Wow WA, you sound like you're having an experience a lot like that of my room mate. Oh, and welcome back, dude : )

Mauve, awsome as always.

That is all. Now get back to sleep, folks (maybe I should take my own advice... nah)

[Loyal]

XD "Remember the PG-13 rating..." XD

That's just great, Mauve. It's also why I don't want a cell phone. :p

[EDIT]: Woahly... NICE color-job, Chicago!

[Silly Kitty]

That is why I put my cell phone on vibrate Mauve.
Mauve should have a new comic every day! So say me!

Really nice color job Chicago!

[Bailey]

that reminds me of one of the new questionable content strips.

yeah, don't ask, just go look, you'll see what I mean.

in any case, great work guys!
I want three more like these every day!

[mauve]

Wow, that's fantastic, Sephiroth_Sama and Chicago! I am stunned into a state of not wanting to draw for fear of my own blatant inadequacy.

Staizer- Yaaaaaay! Y'know, that is an almost perfect rendition of Mauve Mage on too much caffiene.

[Staizer]

Yay! that was totally what I was going for . . . <_< I_I >_> I_I <_< A better version will be out eventually, I just don't really know enough yet to do it. heh heh heh.

[Great Cartoonist]

Once again, I am astounded by Chicago's art skills. Shame I can only draw in grayscale. (Actually, it's because I'm lazy... but you already knew that)

[Meister]

A very nicely done portrait, Mauve - personally I always pictured her hat worn lower and her collar covering her mouth, though. Right now it doesn't look much like her face is in the shadows, I'm afraid. However, the shading and such is, as always, excellent.

[Loyal]

Wow, that's nice. The cloak seems a bit off (Kinda like it's cutting into the robe itself) and the moon is just a bit big, but other than that, awesome.

Also: Permission to make that MSPaint Portrait of me into my avatar?? :D

[Skyshot]

For those curious, the other portraits are here (http://s13.invisionfree.com/TATB_and_FM_Boards/index.php?showtopic=36).

C'mon, people, get her to a scanner! Let's see what she can do by hand!

[BlackMageGirl!]

I'ma guinea pig! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

The only complaint I have is that I can't see my eyes very well. But that may also attribute to my not wearing glasses. >.>

All in all, well done! ^_^

[Silly Kitty]

My computer absolutly refuses to let me see the BMG! portrait. :(

I'm sure its great though!

[mauve]

Me being the perfectionist that I am, I wasn’t happy with the BMG drawing so I went back and worked on the shading. Version Two has been edited into my post. Hats aren't my specialty, as you have noticed. :D Maybe I'll go back and fix the cloak and moon. And maybe while I'm at it I'll post BMG Verson 0.5, which was in the old style.

[Bailey]

XD

awesome.

only thing wrong with it is the randomly squatting and standing right back up.

other than that, it is awesome

[_mike]

But why did you put in a reference to something that only you and I get, Phil? Is it just to make me sad about my crappy network not letting me play? 'Cause if that's the case, I'll have you know we're working round the clock to get around that stupid firewall, and when we do I will hunt you down and break all that you worked so hard to create!

[mauve]

Mammoth- Yay! Explosions are good. Especially when they involve Demon, and I'm there to witness it. "Extra Crispy" is a good look for him, don't you think? :D

Fenris- Hooray, the return of Technobum! I can't wait to see what BMG! has in store for them.

phil_- OMG! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE, NEWB! A SIBLING-DEPRIVED SIBLING WITH A HAMMER! :p

[Bailey]

phil_- OMG! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE, NEWB! A SIBLING-DEPRIVED SIBLING WITH A HAMMER! :p


I've survived my own siblings this long, and I've survived hanging out with you as we endeavor to find Meister, so I think I can take him. I'm only a couple belts below him in the martial art that we use too, so that helps me. Also, anyone he summons is likely to be none too pleased, and will simply help me (unless of course he thinks to summon Mike, in which case I'm screwed), plus I have a number of spells to fall back on, and let us not forget that because of the way he made the comic I am twice as tall as he.

And if he does kill me, then oh well. Let's just hope he does so soon, because when I die I end up back in my room, and I was busy watching the amazing crossover special including Medium, The Dead Zone, and Monk. If the commercial is over when I get back, I will take out my heavy weaponry and destroy him.

[mammothtank]

Mammoth- Yay! Explosions are good. Especially when they involve Demon, and I'm there to witness it. "Extra Crispy" is a good look for him, don't you think? :D Um... that's me, Mauve. Remember my last comic?

phil: Probably would've thought it funnier if I knew what Blockland was, but since you used my comic idea, I'm happy either way.

[_mike]

Nice to see you back, ZJ, but do you always need to end on a DUN-DUM-DAAAAAH moment? I guess it keeps us wanting more, though, or at least me wanting more.

All I have to say to Newb is, "Deja vu?"

[EDIT] Wait, can I add "Please use speach bubbles or something, maybe a subtitle bar" to that? I can't? Oh! Well, nevermind...

[Bailey]

hey, it's not my fault that phil didn't learn from his experience with skyshot!

EDIT: also, subtitle bar sounds like a reasonable solution. I just got in the habit of not using speech bubbles because they would often block important things.

[Demon with a Glass Hand]

Mammoth- Yay! Explosions are good. Especially when they involve Demon, and I'm there to witness it. "Extra Crispy" is a good look for him, don't you think? :D

Flirt.

That's Mammoth, Mauve. You've just got me on your mind too much, is all. :p

Yeah, our sprite sheets are irritatingly similar. Since my sprite sheet was a quick one I threw together, you're safe to be that there will be a new, better Demon sprite sheet in the near future.

[phil_]

ZutsuJin, how could you expect us to forget your last comic? The one where you seduced a little girl into coming with you so you could slaughter her for power! I mean, really, we wouldn't forget something like that.

Newb, I hope I won't have to write more hand-drawn comics, because then I'd have something else I'm supposed to do that would never be done.

[Loyal]

Remind me never to piss off Mauve, Zutsu... oO; Outside of the Finding Meister storyline.

[Bailey]

oh no, don't worry.

I'm completely capable of kicking my own ass.

and since I'm not fighting both you and your brother, I may even win.

Especially since I'm a member of the large vehicles club, along with MT AB and FC

[Skyshot]

also, subtitle bar sounds like a reasonable solution. I just got in the habit of not using speech bubbles because they would often block important things.My recommendation? Double your panel size. You have the space, you'll have more room for detail, and you might even be able to increase your text size.

[mauve]

Um... that's me, Mauve. Remember my last comic? Whoops! I thought it was Demon. The sprites look a lot alike in grayscale. Sorry! Yeah, now that makes a lot more sense. *feels like an idiot* Hey, I do most of my posting at midnight or later. Sometimes my brain no work none. :D

ZJ- Wow, I'm pretty scary when I'm mad! Remind me not to tick off MYSELF!

Newb- Hee hee. Don't worry, Monk usually reruns! :p (Psst, phil_, you'd better start running!)

[_mike]

Well, I'm glad to see new "Finding Meister" comics. Great/hilarious work as always, Mauve. I hope you can keep it up during school.

I just stared at your gif for a while, RMB. It eventually induced a fit of the giggles; I don't know why.

[Patrat]

Is your refridgerator running? Heheh. Classic.
Did you make the solid snake from MS paint Muave?
Comic was great!

[Loyal]

I'm surprised shiney didn't blast Mammoth back or something. XD

[mammothtank]

MM: 1) Whee! Overkill! :whee:
2) Prank calling Solid Snake? Patrat must not value his life very much.

ZJ: Glad you're back to comicing, kid.

RMB: That's just random enough to be funny. Thumbs-up!

Yeah, our sprite sheets are irritatingly similar.It's because we're both recolors of the same sprite base: Bare-class Bartz.

[phil_]

Mauve, you forgot the *pweee* noise. How could you forget the funniest part of night-vision goggles? Not that I didn't hear the noise regardless...

RMB, my golf club switches hands. It's a funny gif, but you could make it better. Try adding Mike's backswing and keeping my five-iron in one hand. Keeping the white in Mike's cheeks wouldn't hurt either. It's still funny, though, in that weird, random way I love.

[mauve]

Did you make the solid snake from MS paint Muave? I found a picture of him on Google and recolored him in greens with the eraser tool. It took forever, but I like how it turned out.

[RickZarber]

Whoa! A wellspring of Finding Meister goodness lately!

I certainly didn't see the hat coming... Now I'm perplexed as to what they want with it...

Also, I'm happy that you're doing some ARF vs Skyshot. Saves me the trouble. :p

[Skyshot]

Whee! Skyshot v. Loyal!

Also, yay! Opening advantage!

Also, hurrah! Finding Meister!

[Patrat]

WOW! A complete twist! I never would have seen that coming. And now i feel stupid for not relising what loyal was trying to steal. It makes perfect sence that he would steal it becuase, he was wearing it before.

[Loyal]

MY EYES! D:

Night Goggles suck. :(

[Lycanthrope]

Oster, you so crazy.

[Osterbaum]

I think the word you are looking for is lazy. That comic was lying around for a few months, unfinished.

Well now atleast I wont need to make another one in another 6 months or so.

[BlackMageGirl!]

XD Hahahaha! I exploded!

*gets camping gear, waits for the next installment*

[Bailey]

you know, it serves you right for using out of date goggles. only the old ones do that. the new ones are way better.

[Silly Kitty]

Yay for Finding Meister goodness!

Oster, your comics confused me but amusing none-the-less.

[Loyal]

Hey, Adam West Syndrome can't get me EVERYTHING perfect. :D

[Lycanthrope]

Hey Newb, I'll take the room if no one else wants it.

[Dragonsbane]

Wow. I stop checking constantly for a day...week...or two, and I'm overwhelmed by comic goodness!

The only thing I have, besides praise, is a question. Why did AJ show me with normal-colored eyes? My eyes have no whites. :p

[edit]I think there are differently postured sprites to show which way I'm looking, plus the pupils are a slightly darker color than the surrounding blackness.

[Skyshot]

In answer to DB --What's with DB's eyes? Isn't the eye-color-thing supposed to be an invert of human eyes? o_OI guess that's true Loyal. At the time, I thought the sprite sheet I had was wrong or else it would be really hard to tell where DB is looking.

[Meister]

Heads up, folks: I really didn't mean for the break to last that long, and I apologize to keep you hanging. Unfortunately it's going to take even longer now that I'm forced to use a friend's computer which not only doesn't have Photoshop, but also exclusively runs GTA San Andreas 90% of its uptime.

What I'll do is once I get back into making those things I'll repost the first three. Be on the lookout for when that happens.

[Loyal]

Wow, that was fast, AJ. XD

[Bailey]

and also awesome!

[Loyal]

I do not want to be eaten! D:

Nice to see you back to comicking, Rick. ^^

[Meister]

Mwaha, very nice, Rick. ^^

And it's not so much "broken" as "I moved to the other end of the country and have no apartment." How'd you know about the ping pong thing anyway? :p

[mauve]

AJ - I knew it!! :D

Hooray! Good to see another JAQ, Rick. As always, very funny.

[RickZarber]

...

Stabbed in the back by my own kith and kin!

[Loyal]

...Wow. Melfice's armor looks AWESOME. Absolutely no other way to put it. I am also a sexy bitch. :p

Kick-ass, mate. ^^

[mauve]

StuntMan to the rescuuuueee! Ha, I love it. Sibling rivalry kicks butt.

Rick, that is beautiful! I love how Skyshot and Loyal turned out, and Melfice's armor looks teriffic! Darn you and your artistic skills and your friggin' scanner. ;)

[Skyshot]

Whee! I are drawn!

Seriously, though, that's awesome. I love how you brought everyone's relative proportions into it -- my character's the tallest unless you count Melfice's hair. And the way you had the knives angled is a nice touch.

And yes, that armor rules.

[Melfice]

Bwahahahaha!

I knew the choice of my character would cause someone trouble to other forumites some day! Bwahahahaha!
Seriously though, nicely done Rick. Nicely done, indeed. Kudos, Gil, Gold, Creds, or whatever currency you take, to the other comic-makers too.

*See further down this post please* Actually, I'm thinking of BMG without a lot more on... If anyone breaks this code, I deny everything!
And ofcourse we're counting my hair! What are you!? Crazy?
You wouldn't think of BMG without her hat on, would you? Or Skyshot without his knives? Those are parts that make up an essential part of our awesomeness©®!

Can anyone see that it's late over here and I'm on an Insomniac-high?

[BlackMageGirl!]

*See further down this post please* Actually, I'm thinking of BMG without a lot more on... If anyone breaks this code, I deny everything!

In the morning you're gonna be embarrassed that you typed that, especially since I saw it. XD

Nice jaerb there Rick! ^_^ I'm flattered that you included me in the picture!

[Melfice]

In the morning you're gonna be embarrassed that you typed that, especially since I saw it. XD

Nice jaerb there Rick! ^_^ I'm flattered that you included me in the picture!

Like I said, I deny everything! It works for politicians, so it should work for me too.

[Skyshot]

Phil -- yeah, that's about it. I'm a little confused regarding the last panel, though. Wouldn't you be in there instead of Mike?

Stuntman -- every time I see any of those panels I crack up. Especially the fifth one.

[phil_]

No, see, I just collapsed after purging myself of that insanity. Mike, who isn't given to random catharsis, held it in and went completely insane. Thus, he ended up in the "looney bin."

And I don't think that's far from possible. I could even call it likely. So very cold...

[Bailey]

I understood very little of that rant, was that the point?

in any case, it was very funny, even though I understood it not.

[mauve]

phil- OH MY GOD! THE INSANITY HAS CLAIMED MIKE! *Sigh* Somehow, I knew it would eventually come to this. Phil was always one to let out his anger and distress, but Mike just bottled it up inside him. It's always the quiet ones who go over the edge... Heeheheheheee!! I made the mistake of trying to read all of Phil's rant, and now I fear my own mental state is shattering like so much glass beneath the steamroller of madness. *Gives thumbs-up*

[Nikose Tyris]

not bad, RMB. still, you must apprentice further to fill the entire ROOM with fire, next time you cast explosion. still, not bad making two orbs. *grins lopsidedly*

[Bailey]

since nobody else has asked, lycan gets the room by default.

if anybody asks me to make a room for them I will

a) make the room
and
b) make a comic about going into the construction business

[phil_]

*ahem* Credit to Mike for the kicking sprite? I do believe that I made that one, thank you very much. Mike can't even make a lobster sprite. You think he can make a sprite edit of that quality? Ha!

Though I can't defeat him in making funny avatars...

[Skyshot]

Did all those weapons come from konnor's sprite sheet?

Also, hey! My Nightstorm!

Incidentally, I really would prefer my character not swear. Other than that, niiiiiiice. Must evade shiney now.

[mauve]

*ahem* Credit to Mike for the kicking sprite? I do believe that I made that one, thank you very much. Mike can't even make a lobster sprite. You think he can make a sprite edit of that quality? Ha! Woops! Credit goes to PHIL, then.

Skyshot- Also, hey! My Nightstorm! Is Nightstorm the staff? If so, remember that Loyal is holding it in the frames above. He just put it down. Come on: Like he'd give it back to you! ;) Incidentally, I really would prefer my character not swear. I'm sorry! I'll remember that from now on.

[Silly Kitty]

I love the expressions on there faces Mauve. Nice job!


*waits for Shiney to preform horrible acts upon there bodies*

[Loyal]

Uh-oh! o_o

... *Trips Skyshot and runs* I DID NOTHING!! BLAME THE THIEF IN THE CLERICAL TUNIC!! <<

That had me laughing for so much... I ALMOST gave away my position in Java class there. ^^;

[RickZarber]

Mauve: Yay! Comicy-goodness! Awesome.

ARF: "I knew I smelled Satan on your robes" O.o heheheheh

[_mike]

Nice work, Loyal. I didn't quite "get it," but the art was great. If you want help using The Gimp effectively, you can always ask me*, since phil_ refuses.

*offer limited to times when I am awake and on the computer.

[mammothtank]

Let's see, where to begin... Oh, I know! How about my PINK TANK. Holy crap, that thing's hideous. Nice job, Rick. XD

What else...?

Loyal: Nice. We really need to see more appearances by Nexus.

Mauve: Oh no... Now we'll never know what they were going to do with it!

[Loyal]

ARF: "I knew I smelled Satan on your robes" O.o hehehehehHeh, yeah. I dunno how or when that sentence popped into my head, but I knew I just had to use it. :p

Nice work, Loyal. I didn't quite "get it," but the art was great. If you want help using The Gimp effectively, you can always ask me*, since phil_ refuses.Yes, that'd be appreciated. Currently all I can use it for is some special effects. Anything and everything else is handled by GraphicsGale. =\

And thanks for the artwork compliment. :D

Loyal: Nice. We really need to see more appearances by Nexus.Yes. Yes we do. ^^;

[EDIT]: I just thought of a way to make clean-up easier: Limit the ENTIRE DRAWING to 2 colors, black and white. Then copy that, paste it into a full-color scheme, and work with it from there. I ARE A GENIUS!! :D

[mauve]

RZ- ACK! The tank has been BARBIE-FIED!!! Oh, the humanity! Hee heee.

Loyal- XD The "Scent of Satan" just pushed that comic over the edge of hilarity.


Mauve: Oh no... Now we'll never know what they were going to do with it! Hmm... My awesome powers of FutureSight tell me that you may just find out the answer, sooner or later. OMG SPOILER?!?

[Fenris]

Arlia, that was pretty good.

I'm not hot? *cries* :p

[Skyshot]

Yeah, AJ! That was awesome!

Also, I thought it looked familiar, but seeing as how you claim you didn't steal it from krylo, I guess it isn't. Maybe krylo saw you do it, traveled back in time, and stole your idea, a la Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

That guy on the far right looks like he's about to knock ApathyMan and Dynamite220 out of the way. Maybe you should include that part.

(By the way, is there a way to tell someone on the FSF is banned? I think one guy in particular is, but I can't tell. You know the one. The guy I reported.)

Fenris -- guess not, but look who is!

[Arlia Janet]

For reference of what I did not steal:clicky. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/krylo/Comic.jpg)

I needed 6 guys to fit the format for the last panel and I happened to only have 6 male NPFer sprite sheets saved to my computer. So, you are unlucky but not necessarily "unhot."

[Red Mage Black]

Anyway, great stuff. Why am I so inspired?

[mammothtank]

This is an outrage. He barely ever posts anymore! And besides, why would you have his sprite sheet on file but not mine? (And an old one, at that - the bottom row of pixels on that pose is missing.) I am deeply insulted, AJ. Just making sure you know I'm not serious here.

[Arlia Janet]

Oh, I'm sorry. I guess I need to update my sprite sheets. :p

[mauve]

Arlia Janet is now my hero. (Heroine?) (Note E at end!!) ...And I'm going to get banned for saying that now, aren't I?

That was hilarious, AJ!

[The Kneumatic Pnight]

Arlia, that is the greatest thing I have ever seen, ever. Specifically because it builds upon the previous "greatest thing I have ever seen, ever."

Man, one of the, like, three chances for my sprite to get used and, again, no one ever thinks of me. I mean, ignoring the fact that it's horribly incomplete.

...nevermind.

Funny stuff though.

EDIT: And my user title does specifically rule out my inclusion, huh?

[Demon with a Glass Hand]

Yay! Arlia Janet thinks I'm hot!

Great Comics, everyone! I look forward to seeing more great comics everyone! Nice comics![/ontopic]

Yay! Demon = Hawt! Arlia + Demon = Hawt!

Yay! Picking chicks up on the internet = lame!

Demon = hawt + lame!

[mauve]

Demon = hawt + lame! Like Vulcan! So hawt + lame = Hame? Lawt?

[Demon with a Glass Hand]

Lawt.

I am so totally lawt! :p

[RickZarber]

Awwwwwww... I can't see it. For whatever reason, it won't load. :(

And if anyone looked at pinked-out MT and wondered, "what the hell?", it comes from the AIM chatroom, in which I always type in a pink font. But apparently pink seems to freak MT out. And so yesterday there was talk of turning his tank pink.

[Skyshot]

It occurs to me to wonder -- did AJ make that in Photoshop or Paint? Either way, it's scary to think about. AJ using Paint? That being made in Photoshop? Wild.

RMB -- make more. Now. Also, it cannot be an NP Member Quest without me at least trying to jump in.

[phil_]

Heh, RMB is Inuyasha and Nikose is Kagome.

Comics are fun! Especially one's that've been planed for so long. I like the oddness of the text, with the text boxes, speech bubbles, and chat logs. It makes the comc visually interesting.

[Skyshot]

Heh, RMB is Inuyasha and Nikose is Kagome.Bad image! Curse you, Phil!

[Melfice]

WHAT!? I'm not considered "hot"!?

Aww, poopie...

Nice one AJ, really funny.
Also, let's see some more comics, then I'll comment on your's RMB.

[RickZarber]

I still cannot see AJ's magical comic of invisibilty! Photobucket keeps timing out. But all you others seem to be able to see it... so I have no idea what the problem might be.

Could someone perhaps email me the comic? (The file that is, not the link.)

[mauve]

Nice one, RMB! Let's see some more!

[Skyshot]

RMB -- I like where this is going. The fun part is knowing, eventually, you'll have a well-animated sprite battle. It's just got to happen at some point.

IC -- I don't like where this is going. Note to self -- no more hitting on SK. Also, what is Shinryuu holding?

[Inbred Chocobo]

IC -- I don't like where this is going. Note to self -- no more hitting on SK. Also, what is Shinryuu holding?

Its just Mammothtank's spear.

[Nikose Tyris]

RMB: good job, halfer! I couldn't expect better work from you! well, I could, but then you'd just dissapoint me critically, constantly... and that would just suck...

and by that, I'm proud!

[BlackMageGirl!]

mammoth: Bwahahaha! You actually made it! XD

I wonder if there is a marriage spell...Hmm...*ideas brew*

[mauve]

Inbred- That. Was. AWESOME!! Poor Mammoth; we do so enjoy torturing him.

RMB- Wow, you're right! Fresh air IS overrated! :D Me likey and me wanna see more!

Mammoth- So THAT'S what goes on in the chatroom! :p

[Meister]

I'm never in chat when it counts. :(

[Bailey]

curse you aim and your failing me, and curse you as well icq and your inability to enter aim chat despite being able to message aim peoples!

[Loyal]

Mammoth- So THAT'S what goes on in the chatroom! :pYes, you should really join us sometime! :D

[Silly Kitty]

That was a fun night. ^_^

[Skyshot]

That was a fun night.I thought the honeymoon was canceled?

Heh. Is that chatlog available for viewing?

[RickZarber]

Holy crap. I'm gone for one night, and suddenly there's a page of comics waiting for me when I return!

AJ: Yay, for whatever reason, I can see it now! I love that its subject matter is now nuklearpower front-page material!

RMB: Keep it up! Can't wait to see where you're going with this.

IC and MT: Awesomely funny!

And yes, things are so easy when you can refer to everyone by their initials...

[shiney]

I'd post a reply to AJ's comic but I'm sick and I just can't be bothered.

Ha ha and all that. :)

[Skyshot]

So that's what's with Technobum. Wonder if the creator's pyromania leaked into him.

Did you get the script I PM'd you over at the other forums (http://s13.invisionfree.com/TATB_and_FM_Boards/index.php)? I never got a response for that one.

[Dragonsbane]

According to AJ, I am officially a hot guy.

You know it. ;)

[mauve]

Fenris- Woooo... Pretty lightsaber! :D Good to see you back in the comic makin' thang.

[Skyshot]

According to AJ, I am officially a hot guy.Yeah, but she saved the best for last.

[mauve]

GC- :D XD :p !!! Hopefully that sums it up. Very funny. And happy birthday! Whether you like it or not!!

[phil_]

He's an 8-bit man in a 16-bit world. He doesn't play by the rules. Death can't keep him down, and neither can the DA or the Commissioner. This fall,... Phil... in...

Little Tortilla Boy...

Wait, I mean RMB is using my old sprites. Is there any significance to this, or is it just a random decision?

[Red Mage Black]

I think I only have your old sprites.... I guess I'll need them then!

[mauve]

Man of Zarber- Yaaaaaay! It's so pretty! Nice job with the coloring and shading. Pfft. You and your scanners and your Photoshop-type programs...

RMB- "How many times have I been killed thus far?" XD Poor Phil, doomed to a life full of death and near-death experiences.

[Loyal]

Dammit, everyone who scans drawings knows how to CG stuff but me! :(

Nicely done, Rick. <<

[_mike]

Whee! There's a little RMB between the 3rd and 5th panel!

I really like where you're going with this. It's kinda cool to see or forum personas in a new continuity. It's just that, well, I worked really hard on those 16bit summoner Phil sprites, and well... *toes the ground looking forlorn*

[Red Mage Black]

Edit: As for the Phil sprites, thy will has been done, check out his awesome summoner sprites! Rejoice my comic making breatheren!

[phil_]

I learned a new spell. Awesome. And Nikose talks out of his butt.

"I've done it before and I'll do it again. HEAL!"
"Huh? Wha?"
"I healed you. That'll be the first and last time."

:D

[Red Mage Black]

Phil- Talks out of his butt? Must be talking about Ep.4 then.

Hmmm, what to do for next comic. I pretty much have my mind set on what I want, but not sure about how I'm going to work with it.

[Bailey]

My suggestion?

click edit, select everything and paste it to a text document, delete the post, and then make a new one with both comics in.

unfortunately, there are some forums where you can't delete your own posts and these also often frown upon doubleposting, but... you can't win all the time. then it would be boring

[Astral Harmony]

Sorry about that, Shiney. I'll make sure to hyperlink any comics that wide again.

[mauve]

Hmm, I've fallen behind in my comic-reading. I blame society.

RMB- Can't wait to see the next episode!

AB- I love that gigantic sword. It cracks me up every time! XD

_mike- I'm afraid to go on that board now, for fear that I may run into whatever the rest of that conversation entailed. >.<

[Bailey]

don't worry, it's safe.


it was use of the forum filter to change "fenry" to "fenris"

and then comments about how else the forum filter could be used.

[RickZarber]

Wow... 30 comics already. INSANITY! But, like, enjoyable insanity.

So yeah, there's been a comic-thread lull lately. I can't bitch too much, as I haven't been helping either, BUT! I expect to come back next week to find at least a full page worth of new material awaiting me! So... yeah.

[Loyal]

Ah, that's me for ya. Casually breaking the laws of sanity just to piss people off. ^^

And you look very pretty in a pirate outfit. :D

[Silly Kitty]

-_-'

Let me say this one and only once. Fenris and I aren't together. That was a friendy kind of "wuv". Notice I didn't say love. Now, I said I still wuv you because I was kinda being harsh and wanted to still be nice. Sheesh Mike... Get your facts straight.

[_mike]

I think it's funnier my way...

Also, glad to see more FM goodness, Mauve, and the pirate sprite's pretty spiffy, too.

[Bailey]

me, I love you all.

and show of hands, who here has pirate or ninja versions of their sprites?

I have a pirate version, a ninja version, and a pirate-ninja version.

I like the pirate mauve.

[Loyal]

I have a pirate SMILEY, if that counts: PD

Still working on a ninja smiley. But I'm not likely to make sprites of myself in either medium. I always have been and always will be a thief. ^^

[mauve]

Hey, for Halloween everybody should dress their sprite in a costume. We can post 'em here or someone could take 'em and make a Halloween party comic.

[_mike]

I think any Halloween party comic would quickly degenerate into a Pirate vs Ninja comic. Not that that'd be a bad thing...

[Melfice]

Hurrah! E-cake!

Ya... I like the new comic, but another cliffhanger!? Damn, girl! That's not funny anymore...

Anyway, would one of you consider my 16-bit sprite as pirate? He's got an eye-patch! <_< >_>

And finally! Another ArmoredBishoujo Blossoming... thingy! It's been too long. I like where this is going.

[Astral Harmony]

With a little effort on the shading part, I could do a Ninjarmored Bishoujo. Not so easy to do a Pirarmored Bishoujo, though.

And yes, I can make names like that 'cause i r so clevar!!1

[mammothtank]

Hey, for Halloween everybody should dress their sprite in a costume. We can post 'em here or someone could take 'em and make a Halloween party comic.http://img460.imageshack.us/img460/5237/mtcostume1ej.png
See if you can guess what my costume is. Go on, guess.

[Nikose Tyris]

I want to have a halloween sprite... could you make me a halloween sprite, Mammoth? I'll be your bestest best friend! *puppy dog eyes*

[Bailey]

well, if somebody could get me a crown sprite, I think that I could turn you into a king pretty easily

Like so, except with a crown instead of that hat.

http://img445.imageshack.us/img445/327/kingnikosenocrown1ir.png (http://imageshack.us)

[Nikose Tyris]

whee! I could be a king! so many possiblities... I'm open to people making my character anything! ((excluding turd sandwhich, giant peice of poop, and a douche))

[Bailey]

oh, I've already done those for a comic I'm making later.

it involves blackmail photos. :p

and I got distracted and made different colored hats

http://img416.imageshack.us/img416/330/kingnikosenocrown4dn.png (http://imageshack.us)

[mammothtank]

I am willing to try making costumes for anyone who is interested. Just tell me who/what you want to be dressed up as and I'll see what I can come up with.

[Skyshot]

Alternately, why don't we each dress up as another forum member? I'd love to see that!

Easier to sprite, too.

[Fenris]

I call BMG!

...

What? I have a sprite pretty similar to hers anyway.
<.<
>.>

[mauve]

I've got me a Mauve as Kagome sprite that I'm pretty proud of; maybe I'll post that. I'd be willing to give costume-spriting a try for someone, if they're willing to trust my semi-decent spriting skills.

[Premmy]

can I post a sprite sheet? just give me a while I have to fro' out
one of mine.

[mauve]

Is it a Halloween sprite sheet? If it's just a regular sheet, put it over in the Arts and Crafts thread. In other news:

Halloween costume, yays!
http://img484.imageshack.us/img484/9593/kagomemauve9yg.png (http://imageshack.us)

I'm just your average Japanese schoolgirl, balancing cram school with super-heroing, three part-time jobs and regular angst-ridden love triangles.

[Premmy]

this is a comic right? I meant one for the comic, I don't celebrate Halloween
(religous thing)

[Bailey]

here's me as kefka: http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/7339/kefkanewb26le.png (http://imageshack.us)

or you can get the pirate-ninja off of my spritesheet

[phil_]

Just so everybody and their Mommy knows, _mike and I have both put Halloween-type spritesheets in the NPF Spritesheet Thread.

On seperate posts...

Now excuse me, as I eat another Kit-Kat to drown out the loneliness and Halloween-non-participation depression. stupid chemistry...

[mauve]

For the record: Yaaaaaargable! is now the coolest sound effect ever. Thank you for that, Arlia Janet. And thank you for that lovely rendition of the Battle of the Discusssion Thread. :D

[_mike]

I know you choose the sprites at random, Arlia (I can READ! Yahoo!), but I avoid the discussion forum, as a level one bard avoids the Spiky Fortress of Doom, for reasons that are obvious in your comic. On top of that, I'm in my pirate costume! Who respects the arguments of a guy in a pirate suit (Other than DwaGH)?

But yeah, your comic helps in this recent drought of NPF comicry. My thanks go to you. *bows*

[mauve]

Who respects the arguments of a guy in a pirate suit (Other than DwaGH)? I do. ;)

[Skyshot]

Do we have a consensus on who's doing the actual Halloween comic? I know what I want for a costume, but it's something of a sight gag, so I'd rather PM it to whoever's making the comic rather than posting it directly here.

[phil_]

Who says there has to be just one?

[Silly Kitty]

I would like to say that a halloween costume has been provided by MT and will be located in the NPF sprite sheets.

[Demon with a Glass Hand]

When did I start respecting the arguments of a guy in a pirate suit again?

[_mike]

When I kicked you in the face, Demon, duh.

[Bailey]

I have now completed a matador sprite for myself

whoever is making the cartoon, PM or IM me

[Patrat]

Heh, Nice comic aj ^^

Just as a heads up, im going to start a halloween comic. If you have halloween custume sprites, PM me. I already have a few Such as SK and mine. I also saw that Demon with a glass hand had a james bond sprite sheet of himself. So now i need to get started...

[Melfice]

Indeed, nice comic Arlia. Made me laugh for a minute.

Also, on the Halloween comic. I'm not making a special costume sprite, as I'm not celebrating Halloween, or even recognize it as a holiday.

So, if you feel the need to include me in the comic, *coughshamelesspleaddisguisedasananouncementcough* make something up to explain the non-costume-ness of my sprite.

[Bailey]

you're going as yourself, duh.

you're just so awesome that no costume you could possibly wear would make you any cooler.

same reason why if I make a halloween comic I'm not dressing up any of the mods or admins

[Skyshot]

Okay, so, who at this point plans on doing a Halloween comic? Also, is anyone planning a "party" setting such as, say, Meister's nationality captains comic, with one-shot appearances, rather than a sequence of panels? If so, you're the one I'm after.

[Patrat]

In about 15 minutes i think i'll be done with my part one of my comic. Part two will be done tommarow, and the final part will be on monday day.

[Loyal]

I may or may not make a comic. It will NOT, however, be THE comic for Halloween. Just a little one shot comic I've had going inside my head for a little over a month now.

[Skyshot]

Sure, look at the nearest thief when the goodie bags aren't around. And then she words it like she merely forgot, huh? Pretends she merely lost them and of course the thief is innocent, so as to put more guilt on him for his supposed larceny! Everyone blames the thief. Next you know, the thief will be blaming the thief. The other thieves will be blaming the thief. Everything is the thief's fault. That's why he speaks in third person. The first person pronoun is capitalized, and he isn't worth that, nooooo. He has to settle for a miserable, uncapitalized pronoun. Fine, you want your goodie bags! You can pull them out of my BEEEEEP-KSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKSKS cold dead fingers!

Also, fire bad! Fire bad! Why am I always flamed by the other forumites?

[phil_]

Ah, nothing demonstrates someone's evil like blowing up others for one's own mistakes. Well, except for kicking a kitten, but we know Mauve isn't quite that evil.

...yet.

[Bailey]

but what if the cat was in league with the moogles?

also, great comic so far

[Great Cartoonist]

Good god, you people are still funny.

It's too bad I haven't been posting any NPF comics lately. Instead, I find myself indulging more into these (http://forum.nuklearpower.com/showthread.php?t=12086) petty (http://www.mapleglobal.com/) little (http://www.maddox.xmission.com/) things. (http://www.thewebcomiclist.com/) Bah. (http://www.gamedev.net/)

Oh by the way, I remember Mauve Mage doing a "Pirate vs. Ninja" comic...

[mauve]

Heheheheheheee! I love being evil. Makes me feel warm and bloody inside. Very nice, Patrat. I love the Mario costume. :D Can't wait to see episode two!

[Patrat]

Heh, nice comic muave ^^
Bad news, instead of making part two today, i'll have to combine part two and three for tommarow. Working+time= time-comic making+ D:

[mammothtank]

Heheheheheheee! I love being evil. Makes me feel warm and bloody inside. Very nice, Patrat. I love the Mario costume. :D Can't wait to see episode two!Why, thank you! I'm glad you like it. I've done a couple other costumes as well, including Silly Kitty's and Red Mage Black's (though I have yet to hear from RMB about his). Come to think of it, I still need to post mine.

[Bailey]

very nice.

not to nitpick though, but I updated my spritesheet as having a seperate resolution for my eyes annoyed me.

[Fenris]

Mauve, nice.

The BlackMageGirl! Project...

Not my uncle and my father! I'm a redneck! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

[Skyshot]

I think it's the British royal family, actually.

Mauve Mage -- Ahh. The BlackMageGirl! Project.

Two other theories I proposed on Fenris's boards:

In October of 2005, three forum members disappeared in the woods near the NPF while seeking a moderator.

A year later their bodies were found.

The Blair Meister Project

The Blair Mage Project
Patrat -- Dangit, you've shown up everyone. Who else is going to want to post a Halloween comic after that zing? You weren't even around for Otaku Son! :p

[Loyal]

"Quick, go get some candy while you do yourself"? o_O

Heh. The part with Otaku Son was funny. ^^;

[Patrat]

:P
All, i know about Otaku son, is that he was banhammered for having somthing to do with The shiney: Ass, or shit face thread.
Go, go, power ranger!...seriusly. Go.

[Skyshot]

Actually, he was gone long before that, I think for a Lydia_T_Is_hott account, with her real surname in place of the T. It was changed to I_Am_A_Retard. Nobody liked him, but for different reasons than GWKCB.

Also, like L2N said, you might want to rework that candy poster. :sweatdrop

[RickZarber]

Glad to see that some comicing was done in my absence. All very funny.

Also: Yay, I was included in a comic! But oh noes, ZOMBIES! Just when I think I'm done zombie hunting for the night, too... figures. Where'd I put that scimitar?

[phil_]

Keep'em coming, Pattyratty. I am entertained, and wish to remain so. And you leave that poster, 'cause, darn it, you have ever right to be comfortable with your body!

I'm going to have a comic soon, just in time for everyone to be tired of these costumes. Just you wait.

[mauve]

Woohooo! The return of the Square Burger!! ^^

That was great, Patrat. I love how you put poor Skyshot in the credits. My superior magic skillz are no match for his clericness.

[Arlia Janet]

MT,
What started that fight was a discussion about transcendental deconstructionism, wasn't it?

[phil_]

Hmm... I'm looking pretty svelte in that picture. Maybe that energy dealie has weight-loss properties. Maybe it cut off a few pixels. Who knows!

[Inbred Chocobo]

Okay, so I am fighting Phil. Now what possible reason would I be fighting Phil for... Curse you Mammothtank for just posting a random battle!

[Skyshot]

What? A mass brawl, and me nowhere to induldge myself in it?

Madness!

Still, it looked cool. I just want in.What started that fight was a discussion about transcendental deconstructionism, wasn't it?Or maybe it was acculturized regionalism, romantic transcedentalism, or behavioristic naturalism, or structuralized functionalism. Maybe we should lock them all in a small room and deny them food and water until one of them confesses. (Treat yourself to something or other if you get this one.)

[Loyal]

Yep, that's me, looking good with the bow without doing any actual fighting. :p

[mammothtank]

You guys'll figure out what the fighting is about when I finish the first comic. Trust me, it has absolutely nothing to do with anything described by either Skyshot or AJ.

Skyshot, I didn't include you because I wasn't sure which side you would fit on. Again, you'll find out if you wait and see why they're fighting.

Loyal happens to be nocking an arrow at that particular moment; trust me, everyone there is/was fighting.

[Red Mage Black]

You did revive the thread that's for sure. You also did it in style, I applaud(sp?) you.

I can just tell people to continue waiting for the next ToO comic. It shall be done!

[mauve]

Oh noes! Fighter hit mah wittle head! :p Like RMB said, thanks for reviving the thread! I look forward to seeing what evil deeds lie ahead.

[Patrat]

I'm dead!
T.T
Heh, then again, i DID turn you into a tomb stone in my last comic.

Nice comic though, the mystery ensues MUCH suspence. ^_^

[Skyshot]

MT -- is it fighters versus mages?

ZJ -- uh, is that an NPF member? 'Cause if it isn't, we have a sketch thread in Arts & Crafts.

ZUTSUJIN! You're back! I was just thinking about you yesterday, wondering what had become of our most beloved blood mage.

I'd missed seeing your drawings on here. You and ChicagoLollie both have to get more drawings online for our viewing enjoyment. *gets out flame thrower* Come on. We're waiting.

Pfft. You pesky people with your fantastic artistic skills and your damn scanners... Well, I technically shouldn't be complaining about other people's damn scanners, because as of yesterday I have joined the ranks of Damn Scanner Owners. I've got some pencil drawings I'm working on cleaning up so I can show ya'lls. Hopefully those'll be up soon.

[Savage Thinking]

Thanks for the comments guys, it's good to be back. Also, there's acouple of thing's I'd like to point out.

Skyshot, that's supposed to be my character drssed differently. Sorry I didn't put any info about it. I was in a hurry and hope that the letters "Z J" would give somewhat a hint. Also, no. My character isn't going threw a costume change. I just thought it'd be cool if he was dressed like that.

Mauve, I'm glad to see you've got a scanner. I'm looking forward to your drawings. It's good to see more work of other people.

Mauve drawings? This I must see. ^^

An awesome mage vs. fighters battle? In cliffhanger format?! Insanity, I say! I love it!

I'm on the edge of my seat with anticipation for the next installment.

Literally. It really hurts, too.

[Flarecobra]

Just what is this I'm holding?

Oh, and expect a new spritesheet soon. That is if I can ever get it done. :stressed:

[RickZarber]

It's Fenris's knapsack, and it's actually leaning on the wall behind you.

New sprite sheets = cool.

I keep meaning to do a major overhaul on mine, but I just haven't found the time lately...

[Skyshot]

You bet my arm's getting tired. I'm not made of stone here.

Also, hurray! Euge! JAQ returns!

By the way, garlic sauce doesn't work for Donner Party cuisine as well as you'd think. Go for lemon.

Incidentally, looks like I guessed right about MT's series. Maybe I could fit in as a double agent or something? Something embracing the duality. I'm more Cleric than Thief, though.

EDIT: L2N -- *admiring whistle* You gotta show us how to do that.

Also, I never trusted those "turn back time" items. They'd inevitably create an eternal loop, since either your brain would also revert back to its previous state from a minute or however long before and you'd do the same thing as before, or you would go back to the point before the item activated and you'd again get caught in a loop of turn on, turn off.

Oh, and the text speed is fine, far as I could tell.

It's just one of those items that casts a spell when used. In this case, it casts Retrn (FFV), returning to the beginning of the battle (Or for this case, to immediately before the fight). If it works for video games, it works for comics. :D

And if I get the time (See: If I get around to it), I'll show the magic that went into allowing me to make 340 frames in a day and a half... <.<

Also: Hooray! JAQ! :D

Okay, 340 frames? Just for that? My goodness, with the right sprite sheet it probably could've been a rough 15-25 for me(not that I'm judging).[/trying not to sound like a jerk]

Anywho, great comics. I haven't been on as much as I've liked to, so expect another good delay on my comic (not that anyone's worrying about it, they know the next one will be fine).

[Loyal]

Save it and open it up. Note everything in there. My semi-perfectionism made me try to make it as close to Flash as possible... :D
