Has anyone else thought of starting a comic?

[cheat-master30]

While Nintendan must by now be a master at comic creating, has anyone else considered writing a comic? Because many people wanted this board yet only two people (and Generic) have really ever used it. I mean, you people could create some excellent comics if you tried (but I have too much work to make one).

[GenericMan121]

That remind me, I probably should finish the next issue...

[NintenDan]

Awww, shucks, I'm a master at comics!

[cheat-master30]

Awww, shucks, I'm a master at comics!

That is correct.

[Symerwizkid22]

Ah shucks...




i suck at paint!:p

[NintenDan]

I could show you how to start in making a sprite comic if you wanted.

[cheat-master30]

Ah shucks...




i suck at paint!:p

How honestly difficult is taking sprites from sites like the spriters resource (or creating your own one pixel at a time), making the background transparent and placing them on either a custom or sprite background?

The hard part is probably making the jokes funny.

I can write a tutorial if you want.

[NintenDan]

You don't need to do that in comics. I didn't.

[cheat-master30]

I read a lot of tutorials about this though. And I think a story writing/humour tutorial would be better. And, if you cannot draw by hand, don't draw by hand. If you can, do so.

[Symerwizkid22]

I can write a tutorial if you want.

a tutorial would take some time tho; so if you were willing.

[cheat-master30]

I have time still.

[NintenDan]

If you don't write one, I could! Or, even better, maybe we could both write one, except I use one of my comics for an example of how mine came together, and you explore all the pros and cons, like that topic you jsut started recently!

[cheat-master30]

Who are you talking to?

[NintenDan]

You. Didn't say who I was talking to... Whoops!

[elvis1835]

yeah see i'v thought about it but any one who saw my video game idol thing
would know how i am at paint

[elvis1835]

also I have no scanner nor am I a very good drawer anyways

[cheat-master30]

Okay, how would you rate yourself at drawing?

[cheat-master30]

I also would want to know how people would say a typical official art esque sprite by me is:

[elvis1835]

.5/10
possibly

[cheat-master30]

You think you're that bad? Okay, to prove it:

http://artpad.art.com/artpad/painter/

[NintenDan]

What's the link for? I clicked on it, and it's taking some time to load...

[NintenDan]

That's just cool!

[cheat-master30]

Draw things online. Seems to be a way to quickly test drawing skills.

[elvis1835]

how do i show it to you

[cheat-master30]

Create it on that site and provide a link to the picture.

[GenericMan121]

http://artpad.art.com/?jjilpo1jtxsk

[NintenDan]

That site is so cool!

[elvis1835]

Ironically better than some people's art...

[elvis1835]

but still .5 outta 10

[cheat-master30]

About 3-4/10 actually.

[elvis1835]

not good enough for a comic though

[cheat-master30]

True. How about trying sprite comics?

[elvis1835]

how to make sprites?

[cheat-master30]

If you cannot make sprites, take them from the Spriter's Resource and credit the authors of the spriters.

http://www.spriters-resource.com/

[NintenDan]

That's what I do. I just only put them together and make speech bubbles! It's simple!

[cheat-master30]

I know. I have never used sprites from there, but then again, I never needed to because I haven't made any comics.

[GenericMan121]

Ironically better than some people's art...

Like mine for instance. Well maybe not, but I'm still not good at art. <_<

[NintenDan]

I do Art at school... I'm making a Papier-Mache Penguin! In colour! WHOA! That's livin' on the edge!

[GenericMan121]

Last year I made (very crappy) Papier-Mache chicken, I painted it Melbourne Storm colours, actually it turned out fairly alright.

[NintenDan]

That's cool! I might write a review too, actually, a Guide on Mario Hoops! Yay! Also, like my Animated Signature?

[GenericMan121]

*Cough.........Z0RZ* (http://dsultimate.net/Board/upload/showthread.php?t=1388&page=3)

[NintenDan]

Whoops, didn't read that. Your new Avatar is real good too!

[GenericMan121]

Thanks. ^_^ :)

[cheat-master30]

So anyone starting a comic soon?

[elvis1835]

I can do stik people stik people are my LIFE in comics

[cheat-master30]

^Not recommended.

[elvis1835]

i know because you can't particularly create a stik mario/luigi

[elvis1835]

you could though

[cheat-master30]

I know, but I like the comics I read to be Nintendo related.

[elvis1835]

i can't figure out spriters resource

[cheat-master30]

You could look for a tutorial, I recall seeing a sprite tutorial on some forum once.

[elvis1835]

that's great some forum once -__- a possible forum on the WORLD WIDE web consuming next to infinite information where to check first

[NintenDan]

Tutorials are on The Spriter's Resource.

[cheat-master30]

For CREATING your own sprites, yes.

[NintenDan]

Oh, yeah, not on making a comic with sprites. I really should make a tutorial myself for the site. I'll do that with some free time soon.

[cheat-master30]

What will the tutorial cover about sprite comics?
