Leo and Doma comics/sprites - Page 4

thunt · 12-08-2004, 04:52 PM

Okay, let's see if my new rating system works.

I made it from scratch. Not bad for a n00b, eh? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Glyph Phoenix · 12-09-2004, 03:19 PM

Dang. I wish I had a cool rating system like that.

But yeah, what Tigt said. "Cool!"

I think the plot's a little lacking, and some of the jokes aren't very funny, but it's still a very fun comic to read.

Leo's pretty cool. Even with all this stuff going on he's still in "I think I'll go get a snack" mode.

A lot of the characters are neat like that. So even if the comic lacks in some departments, it has enough redeeming qualities to keep me reading it instead of doing all the many things I'm supposed to be doing right now.

It makes me want to go back to making comics; I haven't updated Avatar Mario in so long....

thunt · 12-09-2004, 03:46 PM

Wow, Glyph. I thought you'd be on of the people to critize it(no offense)
Jumi, those comics are really good for a beginner. I think you'd do very well with a serious comic.

Glyph Phoenix · 12-10-2004, 01:17 AM

Why would I criticize it? It's spaced out very evenly, it uses both gradients and dithering(which is rare, heck, I don't even dither my gradients when I make a special sprite), and the ranks are short yet practical. You might want to center the "Meh" and bring the "Ugh" back up a few spaces. Or, if the fact that "Ugh" is lower than the rest, showing that it is as far from "Cool" as possible, I think you should make it darker. But that's just a preference.

I've always been a fan of ranking systems, anyway.

I'm not really one to criticize things a lot, actually, it's just that a lot of comics these days are error-infested, poorly worded and edited, and they reek overall. In order to find the good parts to them, I have to dissect them...

That, and the more obvious reason: If the creator knows what's wrong, they can fix it.

Sometimes the comic creator is some n00b that we all know hardly has the brainpower to paste the comic together the first time, let alone fix the things that went wrong. In that case it's really just my polite way of saying "You're comic sucks, don't make any more." And that really is as polite as I get.

thunt · 12-10-2004, 03:56 PM

Ah. Sorry. It's just that it seems like it's all that's happening right now, so I got a bad opinion of you.

That thing didn't take me very long anyway. Maybe an hour?
And Jumi, I think one of the nicest things about your comic is its style. The 8-bit colors and simplicity make it very eye-friendly, and sort of... I dunno, but it makes me want to read it.

I try to keep the comic 8-bit most of the time. I've even been working on making 16-bit sprites into 8-bit sprites by reducing the colors. I've been doing that with Storm Eagle and other MMX sprites. I'm done with part 7, the final part. I know the ending's horrible, but I have a reason. I've hidden something in the comic that sort of has something to do with Trinity's death, but you wouldn't know it did. Just point out anything weird you see in the comic, and if it's the right thing, I'll post some sprites that are going to be in the next comic.

My computer won't let me put more than 1 image in a post, for some reason.

A Genius · 12-14-2004, 12:50 PM

That ending came a bit too far out of nowhere. Otherwise, okay. Not good, just okay.

X-3 · 12-14-2004, 03:40 PM

I didnt like the ending. It made no sence.

I thought Kirby was going to kill him!

thunt · 12-14-2004, 04:40 PM

X-3, he said it made no sense.
Jumi, was the weird thing the fact that when Brad died, Trinity died? But if the other 3 Mystery Men came back as ghosts, do Brad and Trinity as well?
And you used the author in a self-demeaning way(which has been used about 9584003827485628199834735151723.2 times before)

Glyph Phoenix · 12-15-2004, 12:24 AM

Maybe it's not really the end but a fake-out ending so Trinity can come back for the final battle. If not, the ending is a load of crap.

The comic before it, however, was great. Kirby's plan was hilarious, and the fact that one of the ghosts got confused and said "I think I'll be killed-I mean I think I'll fight first." is pretty funny.

I'm looking forward to more.

Cataclysmic Paradox · 12-15-2004, 08:52 PM

That blast from Trinity hit Brad, and killed him. Trinity died after Brad did. Trinity could live without Brad, but something killed Trinity for some reason. I know these reasons, of course, but I'm saving answers until the next comic. And the three Mystery Men came back for revenge on Brad, but Brad and Trinity coming back, I'm not sure if I'll do that or not. I'll be starting the next comic soon. It'll be sort of a sequel to Attack of the Mystery Men, but there will be new characters. Don't forget the hint I put in the comic, it's small, but if anybody finds it, I'll post some sprites from the new comic. It hasn't been found yet.

thunt · 12-15-2004, 09:09 PM

Wait... those two periods... they didn't match anybody's text...
And if Leo isn't in the next one... well, it would stink.

Cataclysmic Paradox · 12-15-2004, 09:42 PM

I'm keeping the old characters, it's just I'm going to have a new villian in the next comic. And what periods are you talking about?

thunt · 12-16-2004, 10:33 AM

Those two reddish ones in the corner when Trinity dies. They didn't really match anyone's text, so I thought that might be it.

Cataclysmic Paradox · 12-19-2004, 06:16 AM

Those are actually eyes, and that's what I hid in the comic. Here's a few sprites that will probably be in the next one, but I haven't started it yet.

thunt · 12-19-2004, 10:16 AM

Yay! I was right!
Anyways, when are you starting the next one? This one was pretty good, and the next should be better.

Cataclysmic Paradox · 12-19-2004, 10:53 PM

I'll be starting it soon, I've just got a few sprites to edit. But I've got a new short made, though.

Cataclysmic Paradox · 12-21-2004, 01:06 AM

Part 1 is up! I regret putting in so many references.

thunt · 12-21-2004, 02:42 PM

It's hard to tell who talks first, second, etc. I understand it's hard to do sometimes, but adding extra panels helps sometimes. These aren't quite as good as your earlier ones. One more problem with the text: it's hard to see in the busy backrounds sometimes. And sometimes, sometimes, sometimes.
Leo is the perfect person to have allergies.
