I was reading Arhra's comic and thinking to myself, "Who is this guy? Never heard of ... join date 2004?! What the f-?!"

Anyways, good jaerb on the comics everyone.

Except for you, Zarber. You do an excellent jaerb. Keep it up.

And, as far as rival's go, I'm no one's rival but I'm more than willing to be your nemesis, Arhra. Feel free to use my sprites.
I'm rarely found outside my natural habitat of the Roleplaying section.

I could be your rival, Arhra, except I'm more of a disciple. So, I guess I'll be your disciple if no one else would be, or something like that, I dunno.
Woo, rivalry offers. I have to admit I didn't really know how to start, so I thought I'd pick something that happened a lot (rivalries!) and see how things went from there. Now my lack of forethought is revealed! Nooooo!

Thadius

Hmm. Well, what got me my rival was persistence. Dogged persistence, constant harassment, and generally fouling up any plan he might have.

The zombies might have helped.

Oh, I see how it is. You're just one of those people that will rival it up with everyone you meet, aren't you? Swell.

Fine then! Go be the village rivaler! Steal Loyal's prized podium, I'll be fine...I'll just start up a rivalry with some random forumite I've never met before!

I'm so sorry Pyros. I didn't know you felt this way.

I thought we were just people who stabbed answers out of each other. Well, more just me doing that to you... Although, there is Arhra V's irrational hatred of Asheth (Hmm, is there a sprite sheet for her?) and our thematic echoing...

I... I just never thought about it that way.

Maybe we need some time apart, so we can re-examine our relationship at a distance.

Arhra plus roman numerals is one of the many things that will be explained in the next comic! Blame five Avvies worth of psuedo-continuity...

By the way, Ahra, what program did you make that in? It looks like you've got some moderately advanced effects (or put in a lot of extra pixel work) with those butterfly wing-looking things in the second panel. If it's Paint.NET, I can give you some tips, or I'm sure Mac would be happy to help you with Paint Shop. I think Loyal might use GIMP, too.

Arhra

12-08-2008, 03:50 PM

bluestarultor

12-08-2008, 04:03 PM

Paint! Ahahahaha!

I just felt that panel needed a little more detail and that the occaisonal random inexplicable thing would be funnier. It's actually a part of a nebula from an image I had lying around - I put it in and went "Hey, that kind of looks like wings" so I tweaked it a little more.

If you did that all just in Paint, you could do a lot more in more advanced software.

I'll admit I did a LOT of stuff in Paint when I first started doing Gaia avatar edits. There's really nothing wrong with it (unless you're using the Vista version, which has THE ugliest palette I've ever seen), but having a program with layers can be a lifesaver. I can offer you Paint.NET (http://www.getpaint.net/) as one that has a low learning curve and layering ability. It also has an active forum with lots of additional effects to spice things up, if you delve into more advanced stuff.

Technically, Asheth's sprite sheet is that of CT Flea's, only dark red and black colored. I lost the sheet though, and now I'd be copying that other Flea sprite user now.

I... I just never thought about it that way.

Maybe we need some time apart, so we can re-examine our relationship at a distance.

Arhra

12-11-2008, 07:26 PM

Uh, Thadius. If you're going to make a sprite comic, you want to save it as a PNG or GIF file.

JPEGs are a lossy file compression format designed for photos. They don't handle sharp changes in contrast well.

PNGs are lossless so they shouldn't have the same issues and they're not limited to 256 colours like GIFs. You can use a PNG optimiser to get the filesize down too if your editing program isn't very good at optimising them. I should probably grab one myself...

Thadius

12-11-2008, 07:28 PM

I did that. But it was unreadable due to Photobucket being a douche and shrinking it to half the size. So I stretched it to twice the size and rehosted it.

Now you can read it, but it's slightly fuzzy. I'm calling it a day now. Maybe Mac will have something good for you all tomorrow.

Hey Thad, if you can't write me even remotely near in-character, I think I'd prefer it if you not use my sprite at all.

I get where you're coming from, but most people don't know how to write me, and if they tried to put how I actually am, it wouldn't make much sense, so I'm generally pretty forgiving. If I put anyone in a comic, and you take issue with how you behave in it, let me know and I'll take it down.

Man, Arhra! I thought I was messed up with my different continuities! Even I only have three pseudo-related arcs going on! XD

(Actually, only one is currently active, but STILL.)

Also, POS, I'd consider you a pretty hard person to write. But then real people are. It's easier to have fake people that SEEM like real people than it is to actually try to figure out what makes a particular real person tick. Or at least if you ARE writing a real person, you have to know them pretty darn well. Which is hard to do with someone you don't have a ton of direct contact with.

Eh, don't feel bad. I'm a phlegmatic, yet caring individual with a dry sense of humor and tendency to be blunt, with skill in diplomacy, and possessing a wide knowledge base, who often speaks in terms that sound like foreign language or gibberish because of my lack of forethought as to my audience when speaking on technical matters.

Plus a bunch of other stuff.

bluestarultor

12-31-2008, 04:09 PM

That's pretty creative, Nik. XD

On a more selfish note, I hope you guys like what I did with this latest comic. The process I used was basically to take pictures of my hand in front of Phantom's blaringly green walls (the exact color of a green screen!), cut out the green, and work with it from there. The hand on the shoulder is actually mine again, but it came out yellower, which made me very happy to set my hand apart from Troy's. So whose shoulder is it? Actually, a pillow's. XD

I had to kneel for over a quarter hour trying to get those shots. It always was too blurry, had a shadow on the wall, had a bad position with the hand on the shoulder of my shirt, or something else wrong. I finally picked a blurry shoulder picture that I could work with, fixed it up a bit, hid the lines left by the original blur with auras, and re-blurred it to make it look like it was on purpose.

All the color you see in the shirts is fixed up in Paint.NET. I had a dark blue shirt that turned blackish in the camera and often had reflected green from the wall, so I had to put a LOT of work into making this. I could have done a bit better with the cuff in the hand shot, but it serves pretty well.

The injured sprites were done totally custom from a vague outline I tossed together. It bears no similarity to any other injured pose I can think of, but it might still need a bit of work. Technically, the hand is supposed to be holding his belly, but yay for recyclability. XD

As such, I feel less guilty about throwing the comic together as quickly as I did. The parts took a lot of work!

Holy jeeze wait you greenscreen'd those Bluestar? I thought you'd just used 3D models from a game I didn't recognize. Wow. Story's getting mysterious all over, to say the least. But seriously those were photos?

Reason I'm not in Nikose's poem: Buses on strike in my city. Can't get from thread to thread.

Very funny to read, a little easier to follow the rhymes when I know how you say things. You and your imaginary accent.

Between the shoulder shot and the hand, I took a good 10, 15, maybe even 20 or even more shots until I got what I wanted, with time running back and forth to the computer. I forget, since I just deleted a lot of them on the camera, but for the shoulder, it came down to a decent 5 or 6 or so. The hand came down to a favorite 3 out of the ones I ultimately kept.

Edit: Hilarious, Thad! XD

I mean, honestly, the time spent making five terrible sprite comics (I.E. five regular sprite comics) could be used to make one actually good hand-drawn comic if you have the talent for it. And Shyria is a person who has that talent, and this is the very sort of thing where she could potentially become a big deal around here if she were to use it more often. You know, forge a unique forum identity and whatnot.

Or she could just be Thad's girlfriend who makes comics identical to his. The crossroads has been reached!

I'm intrigued on how you plan on going forward with this Blood. And yes that is something I would try had my last fall smartened me up.

On a second note, I know I have been dragging my feet with my comic, so you can expect the last comic (read Cop Out) for Thad and Mac sometime tomorrow plus a teaser comic for NPF Tactics.

Thad will hopefully do a better explanation comic after the copout ending.

And now, the question on everyone's mind:

Am I in your next comic, Mac?

Also, I have no idea what happened in your finale. No, that's not right. I have no idea why the things that happened happened or how they affected each other. That's closer.

Wait and see, that's all I will say.

What happenned in the end was I pulled a Deus Ex Machina, instead of Thad, Loyal and I figuring out how to get back, I had fifth use the Deus Ex Machina to save us. Crappy ending and I hate it so much but I wanted to be done with it.

02-02-2009, 12:18 AM

I have to say, the teaser turned out well. That's my hand again for Rick holding the box. I flipped it, maybe posterized or oil painted or something, abused the crap out of the paint bucket, fixed a few pixel issues, and handed it off to Mac. It's been a while since he asked for it, so I can't quite remember what I did. :sweatdrop

NonCon, good job on yours. Would advise using word bubbles but nonetheless, made me chuckle.

Blood, you did a good job.

bluestarultor

02-05-2009, 04:03 AM

Well, if nobody noticed, I did make my newest installment for the series. Honestly? Went back to an older style of doing word bubbles. Got a bit sloppy with them, but really, it does offer me more control and less busy work. Until this comic, I'd recently been making the tails in single-pixel-wide lines of anti-aliased white, closing them off at the top, filling them as best I could with the magic wand, and going back to fix everything up pixel by pixel to avoid them looking jagged before using an outlining effect. Frankly, I was doing more work for a product I wasn't happy with, since the plugin didn't handle corners well, making the tail tips very nubbed. By breaking down and going back to a 2-pixel AA line to make the polygon, filling it, and then tracing with a 3-pixel AA line like I started doing way back when, I got much better control over my corners and could better judge whether I liked the shape and fix it by simply covering more or less of the white.

Sometimes, a manual touch is just better.

Damaged

02-05-2009, 04:15 PM

A members' comic? The whole concept seems helplessly addictive. This reminds me of a time when I made a comic of the players in my last RO server. Manual work is always the best, in my honest opinion.

The FF Tactics one looks promising! I like the vertical layout better than how you had it before, works better for the intro. (and that damn font colour! I can read it now whoo! The dark red or blue you had in the draft drew out the dumb inherent in my eyeballs. The gold is much better.)

Actually, I might take a look into doing a Nexus FF6 sprite based on your art. Hold on a bit.

Edit: At any rate, methinks I can whip something up based on Setzer. I just need to have a good reference is all.

Actually, I might take a look into doing a Nexus FF6 sprite based on your art. Hold on a bit.You're welcome to try, but I'm still going ahead with the CT sprites when I get the time. I've had a pretty good track record so far about only using my own material for Loyal/Nexus sprites and so forth.

Why is it that when YOU feel giddy, I get shivers down my spine? Psychological conditioning.

It appears to be going rather well.

03-09-2009, 10:14 PM

Eh, my point wasn't to do a full sheet so much as prove it would be possible to use a Setzer base to your own ends. If you don't want an FF6 sheet, I don't need to make one, especially considering you'd be fully capable of doing it yourself. *shrug*

Loyal

03-18-2009, 04:14 PM

A sword is typically the weapon of choice for trained soldiers when it comes to small-forces tasks. Spears are more an anti-cavalry weapon, or a weapon to be used BY cavalry, or simply something to be used in massed infantry battles, depending on the type of polearm, as most typically wind up being rather clumsy in close combat IRL. Most close-quarters spearfighters use fighting styles better suited to a pole.

And while a Lamia might find a spear more suitable due to the shape and motions of her body, I doubt that form will find much screentime in this story.

...but that's just my thoughts.

Gawd. I would have made a much better sword-for-hire. A sneakier one, at least."Sneaky" isn't typically a quality one would look for in a bodyguard.

Please do, I haven't been able to sleep right in ages knowing you're running around the multiverse with THAT

As you may have guessed, I got extremely lazy with the backgrounds in that last comic and also stole most of the dialogue.

Also any people who appeared in the comic before this one but not in this one, I couldn't think of anything mean or funny to say to you.

Somehow it ended with me on fire XD.

Good comic Arhra.

Oh, sorry, that's me and my salvaged Death Star laser.

Maybe I should tone it down a notch?

I read this as "That's me Death Star Laser."

And now I can't get the idea of Thadius being a multi-dimensional pop-eye the destroyer of worlds out of my head.

It's pretty awesome.

I will do that now. It is too awesome to NOT do. It cries out to be made into a reality.

The only thing that could stop that...naw, actually, I'm pretty sure it's too awesome to fail.

Well, yeah.

Until Bugs Bunny shows up, sticks his finger in the death star cannon as it fires and it blows up.

I said this comic to someone as a joke and I was told I must do it.

And so I did.

POS Industries

Yes, I feel that was a fitting and entertaining conclusion.

Probably the best ending possible.

I for one am curious as to how it would've turned out had Arhra kept the cackling/mad giggling.

Arhra

03-28-2009, 11:34 PM

After testing it, I can safely say it doesn't seem to work quite as well.

Although I have to admit part of the purpose of that line was just to make it clear it was a snowglobe. The snowflakes were nowhere near as obvious in the original.

OMG Fenris, that am like the best comik evar. I realy liekd the part where the 1 guy sed stuf.

What impressed me was the amount of detail he put into the backgrounds.

Oh awesome! I got to be in a comic! That's really great. Thanks, Fenny! :whee:

Karrrrrrrrrrrresche

03-29-2009, 07:51 AM

I feel like there's a subtle, underlying message.

However I doubt it's directed at me, as I find it to be completely indecipherable.

P.S; Fenris, what is this magical thing called an easy to use background you have invented? I must incorporate it into my next sad, sad attempt to get Mac to leave me alone.

Loyal

03-29-2009, 10:36 AM

Wow Fenris. I don't think I could... This may sound wierd coming from me, but that was mean. O_�

Flarecobra

03-29-2009, 01:31 PM

I think you just captured the spirit of the comic thread Fenris.

That was a bit mean, Fenris.

03-30-2009, 05:16 PM

I can be mean too.... well no, not really.

You're all so full of hate!

Next official Pyros comic coming soonish! There'll be Impalations, fire, and near death experiences!

And a Blind Mystery date!

Pyros? On a beach? With WATER?

PyrosNine

It's only a wallpaper, or a shared hallucination!

Arhra

03-30-2009, 06:19 PM

Wow Pyros! I never knew you had those things! Where on earth have you being hiding your gigantic egg stockpile?

I'm a little surprised the sportscar was green instead of red or something though...

I guess you can't be a slave to your theme.

PyrosNine

03-30-2009, 07:11 PM

I'm telling you people. Shared Hallucination. That, and for that distasteful shade of green, I got the car for $5000 cheaper. Such savings can be easily used for a quick paint job.

And for the record, they're Giant Mini-Eggs. Of Robins.

And Yums.

Fenny and company, I swear I'll make an identity for myself yet! Just as soon as I get rid of this pesky life looming over me all the time!

I don't suppose anyone knows any cures for Senioritis to speed the process along?

Arhra

03-31-2009, 09:51 PM

Dropoutahol.

But I wouldn't recommend it.

Slackerine, it does wonders. I need to be doing spanish, and plotting out an english paper to prove that I'm an English Major who knows how to create one properly.

Instead, I am currently making a sprite comic and watching Azumanga Daioh! Go Osaka! SEAL equals SEA LEOPARDS!

That means you were once happy Rick.

Thadius, get on AIM sometime so I can have a discussion with you about stuff. Your comicking can get better yet. This is an improvement, yes, but... there is more to do.

Thadius

Thad, that was actually visually appealing and well-written.

Now just add bubble tails and I'll have no more complaints. <-these are lies

Thadius

04-08-2009, 10:26 PM

Wait, was that a compliment from FENRIS?!

Anyway, Mac will be tutoring me in that and other things soon. Maybe.

What Fenris said.

Definitely a step in the right direction, Thad. Keep it up!
