Glyph Phoenix · 12-11-2004, 05:07 PM

The map is cool, but this comic is still not funny or interesting.

Ah. Oh... you mean that . Makes sense now. Sorry, I was being n00bish(again)

Mikhail Gorbachev · 12-12-2004, 05:40 PM

Part 2 begins to focus on a new pair of characters, whom you will learn more about later(Yario and Shaded Mario)who will eventually team up with Lario and Muigi. Don't complain to me that the comic is too random, everything I make is random. I had to save as .GIF because the file was too large.
Edit: Okay, NEVER rush to get a comic up. The results aren't good. I hope nobody saw that..

The text is easier to read if it's bold. Also, just make Lario's text a shade darker, and it will probably be easier to see.

Mikhail Gorbachev · 02-09-2005, 05:37 PM

Lario and Muigi is now temporarily cancelled until I get better. Here are some sprites I made, though.

That one needs work, but I'll get the better version uploaded later.

That was also a lazy one, but I don't have much.

Here are some animation thingies.

Mikhail Gorbachev · 03-23-2005, 08:32 PM

I've gotten better, but I still want to wait before I try to make Lario and Muigi again. New comic.

Glyph Phoenix · 03-23-2005, 11:41 PM

I didn't laugh, but I just wish it weren't such an accurate portrayal of so many sprite comics...

REDJ · 03-24-2005, 10:49 AM

glyph.. even your "compliments" sound insulting.... it sounds like your trying to insult others with a compliment...
and penguin that comic was pretty funny... ans so was the fatal error thing- i had 2 browsers and instincivly tryed to close it but then i realided it was a gag when i looked. [img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img]

Glyph Phoenix · 03-24-2005, 12:36 PM

I'm not complimenting him. I'm just saying that it's pretty accurate, but not funny. It's not funny because the fake n00b comic has been done so many times before, but I think this is one of the most accurate.

Mikhail Gorbachev · 03-24-2005, 02:51 PM

Well, accuracy was what I was going for...
I made a new scratch sprite. Errr... sprites.

CUPCAKES!!!
Edit: Could someone tell me how to use transparency? Please?
Edit2: Did it work?

Edit3: Either Photoshop or Photobucket hate me...
or both.
Edit4: Wow, I edit a lot.

My comments: I know that this has been exaggerated, but please, never use eye-burning colors. And, to anyone who will ask, the entire series will not be about making fun of noobs. That will only be the subject of the first strips. I plan to develop a story. Eventually.

Mikhail Gorbachev · 03-25-2005, 08:23 PM

Since there was no comic yesterday, you get two today!

My comments: Yes, it does. This comic seems to be transforming into a tutorial, with the stuff below the panel about what not to do in a sprite comic...

Glyph Phoenix · 03-26-2005, 03:13 AM

The one above isn't too bad, but the stupid blood effect on Megaman and the last panel just suck. Honestly, there were so many better ways you could have finished that comic. Yet you didn't pick any of them. The stuff at the bottom was fine, though. I've always liked the fake public service announcements for some reason....

The second one is just terrible. "DBZ sucks" is not a moral. -_-

I don't even think the show is that bad. It's got some major flaws... (spending way too long talking while not bringing up any important points, having plot arcs so complex yet not clever as to make any new viewers/readers completely lost) ...but still, saying it sucks is not a moral.

Did you honestly run out of ideas at this point? There are so many flaws that comic writers make. You made two comics about the same flaw(colors). You might have something here, but you need some serious fixing to do with your own comics before pointing out the faults of others.

Mikhail Gorbachev · 03-26-2005, 11:41 AM

I'm really bad at Photoshop, so does anyone know where I can get a good tutorial for it? Thanks.

My comments: Next time, they will be blue. I promise.
Edit2: Nevermind.

Glyph Phoenix · 03-26-2005, 08:08 PM

Now it's getting just sad. The comments at the bottom should be in a better order, such as going from problems that can make a comic completely suck to minor tips or vice versa. And the comic parts are just stupid now. There's a blue laser beam and a lesson about the pink walls in Dr. Light's lab and the whole comic just isn't holding together. It would be nice if someone with a bit of skill were to do this kind of comic, but you don't have it.

Mikhail Gorbachev · 03-28-2005, 06:25 PM

Exactly what I was thinking, Glyph, it would be nice if someone good made it. That's why I've been gone a day, I was worried that people would flame it because it was bad, but I don't care anymore. The real problem with these comics is that I'm a 13 year old noob who thinks he can make the next NC/Bob and George /Kid Radd/8-Bit Thearter. I obviously need practice, and you won't be seeing any comics from me for a while. Since I'm not going to add any comics, please get this topic locked. Thank you.

**L007 is Undecided** · 03-28-2005, 06:35 PM

You know what, I did a similar plot to this a few months ago, which I abandoned when I found out that it was already done in Bob and George, which really ticked me off.
