So, I'm fairly sure some of you have heard that me and CSM will be doing the next part of LotW sometime this decade. I'd like to open up the floor to any ideas and/or comments about the next part.

I dunno, methinks the faster you can get LOTW out and make more, the better. You learn more from repeated work than you do from trying to perfect each thing--at least, if my intuition from Jay's own way of doing things is good.

Just be sure to be yourselves with the humor, instead of, say, trying exclusively to mimic Jay. I find the guest comic people who spend all their time trying to mimic Jay look artificial and fail to do the same as even, say, those who just do their thing and reference Jay's stuff while they're at it.

**Crazyswordsman** · 01-10-2008, 08:51 AM

I'll have some time this weekend; I'll work on a teaser. Can anyone remind me what happens next in the LotR story?

Also, Chunky, I need a sprite to represent you. -CSM

Rainbow Dash · 01-10-2008, 03:42 PM

Here.

I would like to remain a consultant on this if you don't mind (just so I could save at least some of my ideas)

Considering Jay only did two of the six parts (including prologue), they have to worry more about mimicking my style that his (however, since my style is about 90% parody, there isn't much to mimic).

EDIT: I just re-read LOTW and I forgot how funny some of the stuff I did was (especially the "Spanyard Man" bit and the "You'll Shall not Pass" sequence)

JaredThaJa888 · 01-13-2008, 11:27 PM

Awsome I can't wait.

Just do what you've been been doing, it's FUnny as Hell.

**Crazyswordsman** · 01-14-2008, 06:46 PM

I did one frame. It took me a long time but I did one frame. Sean, do you recommend any good free PNG-GIF converters? -CSM

Sean P Kelly · 01-14-2008, 09:26 PM

If you mean converting PNG to a GIF don't bother. PNG is a much better file format.

Metal Man · 01-14-2008, 09:29 PM

Paintbrush, Irfanview, many things do that easily.

But gif sucks, yeah.

**Crazyswordsman** · 01-14-2008, 09:48 PM

Okay, I'll keep that in mind. I have four day weekends this semester, so I should have some free time to work on another part of LotW. Can someone please remind me what happens next though? -CSM

But NC has always been done in .gif. To convert to PNG now would just be untraditional. Besides, it's NC. .gif isn't really going to make it look bad.

Sean P Kelly · 01-15-2008, 07:33 AM

^ If you look at the comix submitted by me (i.e. the Christmas special) you will see the images are in PNG

Robotazy · 01-15-2008, 07:33 AM

^ But, Those comics are old.

Gif was probably the only thing that existed....

I bet Jay would use PNG now....

Dizzy · 01-15-2008, 09:11 AM

PNG existed in 2006, yet Jay still insisted on using GIF.

**Crazyswordsman** · 01-15-2008, 10:02 AM

Hey, Sean, what are your thoughts on "No Country for Old Men" or, if you haven't seen it, "Charlie Wilson's War?" I need to know because I'm portraying you as a famous movie reviewer in the opening teaser. Also, what's your sprite? -CSM

Heh. hey now, I never remember insisting anything.

Anyway, I started with gifs when I started NC since from what I understood, that's all I had to work with.

I'm not sure when pngs starting being used, but for a while I remember them not being well supported by browsers.

I basically kept with gifs out of lazyness/ignorance/agnosticism/apathy.

But you all can use whatever you want.

And you have my blessing with the comic. Let me know if you need anything from me.-jay

**Crazyswordsman** · 01-15-2008, 10:23 AM

^Is it okay if I portray you as a Hollywood hunk in the opening teaser? -CSM

Dizzy · 01-15-2008, 12:43 PM

Why?!

**Crazyswordsman** · 01-15-2008, 02:01 PM

^Umm...excuse me?

Anyway, I have 5 frames done. -CSM

Dizzy · 01-15-2008, 02:17 PM

By "Why?!", I mean, "Why make Jay a Hollywood hunk?"
