I volunteer. The interviews and subsequent thwarting of kidnap attempts would make a great comic series, albeit likely a short one. Multiplayer

You'd be putting Loyal out of a job and so I must protest.

Well, I would be able to start comicing again, but I waited too long and Thadius got popular somehow. Now I have to rethink everything because there's no way I'm featuring a guy who's in everyone's comics in my comics. That's just not how I roll.

It doesn't HAVE to be topical. It could be just about anything really. Just do something! :D

Ah, but as the LORD of Assassin, I get a 15% bonus in kidnapping people. It's in Nuklearpedia. You should check it out.

Oh, nobody cares about that nonsense when it comes to comics and you should know better. Nothing stifles creativity in these circles more than "Nuh-uh, this part of the continuity says you can't do that with my character!" ...I should know.

Topical? No, it was random nonsense. But it featured him as an antagonist and now it feels all wrong. If I'm gonna draw self-indulgent crap, it's gonna have to be self-indulgent crap that feels right.

Oh, right, I need to second the "continuity be damned" sentiment.

What, Thadius? No Tae Kwon Leap song to finish the comic?

Don't tell me you've never heard of it....

People talking in movie shows, people smoking in bed! People voting Re-pub-lic-can! GIVE THEM A BOOT TO THE HEAD! (BOOT TO THE HEAD!)

...That looks awesome, ST. (It's a lot harder to shorten your name now... for some reason "ST" doesn't sound as natural as "ZJ". And just calling you "Savage" sounds weird.) The shading looks like you spent quite some time with it! Also, it just now occurs to me that I never commented on that portrait of me you did. I meant to but kept forgetting. It was really cool! (Also with good shading!) The only thing I'd nitpick is that the face looks really chubby. Looking at the photo, though, if you traced the lines that would happen regardless; the angle of the shot is such that it flattens the chin/neck line, if you know what I mean. Anyways, I continue to enjoy your art and I hope it didn't seem like I was giving you the cold shoulder there. I am just a forgetful person!

On a different topic, to all of you to whom I promised a JAQ on Friday, I am sorry. This one is taking me a very long time and it is still not done! (I actually do have the top half of the comic completed, it just doesn't work without the second half.) Not sure when I'll get the opportunity to finish it up 'cause this is gonna be a crazy-busy week at work and I don't know when my next day off will be.

Yeah, the angle of the picture made it seem awkward to try to get correctly. I actually caught that myself but when I tried to fix it, it would make your face seem too narrow on one side or just completely off since it was a direct trace. The shadowing got really tricky and spent quite while on it but I still don't think I got it quite right. Same goes for the right arm.

I just thought that I'd just leave it at a somewhat lack of detail because if I tried to mess with it more it'd come out even worse than what I started with.

Piro?
Not what these threads are for.

This is for comics about and involving out own forum characters.
With out own sprites (unless it's for NPC's and such, and even then they're mostly customs or recolours)

Barring that, I really didn't get that comic. What happened?

phil_ · 07-01-2008, 01:27 PM

Dude, it's totally what this thread is for! It's for works pertaining to the forum. A comic about the Mods' power to render us impotent and destroy the fabric of our being at a whim is more than acceptable.

As for the comic, it works, but it would have be clearer that it's about the forum if you had used one of the mods' sprites instead of the Knight. Other than that, just peachy.

It was supposed to show the difference between a noob on NPF and a mod. Since it wasen't that obvious then I have failed.
