[Shades of Gray]

"Technically I'm an elf, I do not sleep"

You are still copying oots lines. The art is too rigid. Everybody is standing perfectly straight all the time, even when having their face bitten of by a horde of lizardmen. The text saying "apparently you are competent after all" is impossible to read, either do a zoom in on the sign, or better yet, ditch the sign all together. You have potential, you just need to stick in a bit more effort.

[Elrond]

Look its alright but like shades i think your copying to many OOTS lines also improve your art a little bit and by the way your characters seem to me to be a bit to similar in the things they wear and it makes me confused about who's who. But ill watch this it i think it will get better with more experience and dont give up just yet youve got the makeings of a good avatarist in ya.:smallamused::smallsmile:

[CrimsonAngel]

Heh, sorry. I've been reading oots all my life. I think it's imprinted on my brain. But from now on I'll stop and say, "hey, has the giant used this?"

EDIT: Oh, and before I had ever thought of making a comic I was drawing bands of adventurers, so I dicided to make a comic. Originally these were pirates, but i gave them different classes and named them.

[Lissou]

Heh, sorry. I've been reading oots all my life. I think it's imprinted on my brain. But from now on I'll stop and say, "hey, has the giant used this?"

EDIT: Oh, and before I had ever thought of making a comic I was drawing bands of adventurers, so I dicided to make a comic. Originally these were pirates, but i gave them different classes and named them.

You've been reading oots all of your life? It's a fairly recent comic, are you sure you don't mean all of its "life"? I mean, I don't think you're 5.

[T-O-E]

It's possible for him to have been reading it from a very young age. Check his profile.

EDIT: Huh? They only mis-spelled 'bored', 'killed' and forgot to add an apostrophe to 'I'm'.

[Gourtox]

I think that was kinda the point.

[Mad Mask]

A playgrounder and OotS-style artist who's approximately my age ? I didn't thought I'd see one in my life.

Anyway, keep drawing. Everyone is not that great when they start, look at me:

[Shades of Gray]

And me:

http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa279/oliver426/syvvaris4.pngOld<>Newhttp://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa279/oliver426/g34346.png

Try personalizing your characters, giving them different colours and outfits.

Here's an early comic I did, the day I got inkscape. At the core of it, they all have the same body, essentially the only difference is hair, and other accesories, however, they look completely different. Some of the art though, does indeed suck however.

http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa279/oliver426/PartyComic1.png

[Lissou]

Oh, I guess I didn't think a kid would read the comic, I've always seen it as a PG-10 or something.

Anyways, it does look and sound like oots. The elf speaks in a convoluted way and seems to have some kind of rivalry with the halfling, the leader is surrounded by idiots...

But that's ok. I mean, we all start like that. Not to seem condescending or anything, it's not about age. When you start, whether you're young or old, you do what you know first. I remember my first series, I wrote a few books, I was so proud of them... But at the end of the day, it was just a story about teenagers turning into animals, just like Animorphs was. And when I did write something different, it was still teenagers fighting something big. But step by step I broadened my horizon if I'm making sense.

My advice would be to read a lot and get inspiration from everything, but really try to be unique and not to copy lines or plots. And keep at it, you'll get better by doing it a lot.

[CrimsonAngel]

im twelve thank you very much

[CrimsonAngel]

new comic
http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e381/CrimsonAngelChris/drawing-26.png

[Elrond]

LOL actually laughed at that YAY my name is used:smallbiggrin: cameo time could i be in it? as like a villian or something?? it would be fun plus i like the new outfits are very stylish that small guys hot LOL just kiding:smallwink::smallbiggrin:

[Lissou]

im twelve thank you very much

I didn't mean you were under 10. I meant that if you have been reading oots for years, then you must have started reading when you were under 10.
Not sure if that's what you were answering to, but I thought I'd clarify.

[Dallas-Dakota]

new comic
http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e381/CrimsonAngelChris/drawing-26.png
Third panel, It's 'Those pore animals', not thoes pore animals'.
/nitpick.

But I think you have potential.
And made the text clouds line thinner.

If you want to express how they're shouting or something, use '!', or bolded or enlarged text maybe?

[Lissou]

Third panel, It's 'Those pore animals', not thoes pore animals'.
/nitpick.

(You had "poor" right. It's "Those poor animals". Not "pore".)

[Lissou]

Isn't a pore like a pimple or something?

Yes and no. A pore is the part though which your skin breathes if I'm not mistaken. A pimple appears when a pore gets infected I think. Or maybe it's black heads. Anyway, you have pores everywhere on your skin, even when it's healthy, so it's not /like/ a pimple, but still skin-related.

[CrimsonAngel]

So that guy up there said the animals had pores (yes they do but still)

[Dallas-Dakota]

Lissou is correct, I think.

And Crimsonangel, you can always blame it on the intellegence of the character ^^

[CrimsonAngel]

The only dumb ones are Kyle and Allen...

Oh sorry you don't know who there names are yet!

I'll make a character Bio later.

Does anyone know how to put a spoiler in a spoiler?

[Tiffanie Lirle]

Does anyone know how to put a spoiler in a spoiler?
Just like you'd put anything else in a spoiler.

[.spoiler][.spoiler]See?[./spoiler][./spoiler]

And without the dots.
See?

[CrimsonAngel]

Thanks! :smallbiggrin:

[Oregano]

I'd recommend keeping text within a few sizes of each other and using one size(10 maybe) for whispering, another(12) for talking and (14 or 16) for shouting.

The art's alright, what software do you use?

[CrimsonAngel]

I use inkscape.

[Oregano]

Right, that's what I use. I'd reccommend making the outline's of the character's a tad thicker then they should look right, I hope to see improvements in the art in coming weeks/months because it's good but has a lot more potential.

[CrimsonAngel]

character bio is posted :smallsmile:

[CrimsonAngel]

I'm having a banner contest. Winner gets a trophy. :smallbiggrin: OH! Did I mention it's a shiney trophey? :smallwink:

Also, I'll add them to my comic as a hero/villaine.

Banners should include a picture, a caption (maybe) and authers name, and the comics name (obviously. Other than that go crazy! :smalltongue:

[Threeshades]

It's improving. Now as said already try to keep consistent font sizes. And if the writing doesn't fit in the speech balloon, try realigning the lines or changing the speech balloon, but dont warp the writing.

Also try to keep the thickness of your outlines consistent. Only make the lines thicker on really huge objects or creatures.

[Tiffanie Lirle]

So have you even got a name for the comic yet?

Otherwise there might be a few problems with making a banner. :smalltongue:

[CrimsonAngel]

Sorry, I get lazy sometimes, plus I don't realy want to spend an hour clicking on 2,000 different pieces to change thier size. I only do that with avatars and small 3-4 pannel comics

[Mad Mask]

Wouldn't it be nice if, in the biography, you actually included information on the characters ? Simply coming up with a name and slapping a class on it isn't very interesting. I suggest you come up with a back story for the characters. Not a cliché and boring one like "He was born in a Elven Forest and always wanted to explore the outside world, so he started adventuring", but something original.

[CrimsonAngel]

The elf is a she. :smalltongue:

[Tiffanie Lirle]

So, you got a name for the comic yet, or what?
Or is "now with plot" actually the title?

Banner would be somewhat pointless if people don't know what it's for.. :smalltongue:

[CrimsonAngel]

I'm still thinking on a title. Oh and

only read this if you like my comicdo you realy?the plot will be read next comic

[CrimsonAngel]

any ideas on a title anyone?

[Tiffanie Lirle]

@^ You probably shouldn't keep on double posting, use the edit button.

If you don't have a title, I would suggest postponing your banner contest until you have one.

It is somewhat important..

[Gourtox]

Crimson Stick? Firey Plot?

[CrimsonAngel]

Oh I like Crimson Stick!


EDIT: Ok, I made one and so did neoseph7. but we arn't in the contest :smallsmile: Let there be banners!

[Tiffanie Lirle]

*is here to nitpick again*
Sorry. :smalltongue:

You might wanna make that title banner on the first post smaller, it's way too big and is gonna stretch screens to hell and back.

As for your sig banner you can turn it into a button, so that when people click on it, it'll send em right here.

[~URL=http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=100106][IMG~]http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e381/CrimsonAngelChris/g6937-2.png[/IMG~][/URL~]

just get rid of the ~'s

Also, you might want to reduce said sig banner's height by 120 pixels or so. It is somewhat large for a banner.

[CrimsonAngel]

Second page! my dreams are becoming reality!


Not all of these are telling me I suck!

[Keris]

1) The image on page one is far, far too wide.
2) The maximum width for images in your signature is 468px
3) The maximum combined height of imaged within a spoiler in your signature is 300px.

And as a suggestion, you could make a smaller (120px X 468px) banner for your signature that you could display outside of a banner.

[Partof1]

About the new comic: Such harsh language for a youngin, ain't it?

[CrimsonAngel]

fixing stuff.

[Tiffanie Lirle]

Had a free moment, so I threw this together. Might make a better version later on.

Could you do something like name provided by Gourtox or something that tells people I created the name?

[Assassin89]

Zantetsuken. You might want to number your comics section so that it is easier to distinguish each one.

[Elrond]

OK the comics going well and by the way do take cameo requests? coz i would love one:smallsmile:

[Lissou]

I find it interesting that the main characters now are all females except one.

Also, why is June's head so wide?

[CrimsonAngel]

1-Whats a cameo
2-I think it might be her hair.

[Tiffanie Lirle]

1-Whats a cameo



Wikipedia
A cameo role or cameo appearance (often shortened to just cameo) is a brief appearance of a known person in a work of the performing arts, such as plays, films, video games[1] and television. These roles are generally small, and most of them non-speaking.

Basically someone else would appear in your comic, just as a minor role. Some guy walking by in the background, or sitting in a bar etc.

[CrimsonAngel]

[Green-Shirt Q]

Wewll, I have to say that I'm reading this comic and is impressed. I will continue to read. I just don't have much to say.

The art is a little rough, but that will inevitably fix itself with time.

As for someone to base the villain on, you could look to the Final Fantasy series for inspiration.
Golbez, Sephiroth, Ex-Death, Gilgamesh, Chaos

[CrimsonAngel]

no. *other words*

[Wreckingrocc]

The halfling fighter seemed OK at first, but now he's just Belkar all over... It's painful to look at.

How does the cleric cast multiple spells such as Fireball, Magic Missile, Fly, and all that sorta stuff? You only get 2 domains, so she can't have all of those granted by domains...

Also, the evil party is absolutely screwed. Necromancers are the worst wizard specialization, and fighters are almost as bad as samurai past 4th level... Whereas the good party has a cleric who bends the rules to be ridiculously powerful, mixing the power of both cleric and wizard, and a druid, who is a freaking druid.

I'm not really sure where this is going, though. Personally, I'm feeling a 1/10 on originality here. Only about 5% of the comics in the forum aren't OOTS style, and so far they've just traveled through a forest and killed each other, as well as a few monsters. Hell, they're even staying in a bar... And you're directly quoting some of the OOTS lines, which were funny when they were in OOTS, but just feel tacked on and plagiarized here. Some of the basic art looks bland, but the newer characters, such as Kimmy, are starting to look a little better.

The speech bubbles are painful to look at, as they aren't very uniform in text size or spacing.

I think you're getting there, but it doesn't quite make it yet. The originality is improving slightly in the later comics, but, again, the use of the OOTS jokes is killing my brain cells as a result from me smashing my head into my desk so frequently.

[CrimsonAngel]

Thank you for that drowzy I'm gunna go set my hand on fire now.

And you're directly quoting some of the OOTS lines, which were funny when they were in OOTS, but just feel tacked on and plagiarized here. Some of the basic art looks bland, but the newer characters, such as Kimmy, are starting to look a little better.

The speech bubbles are painful to look at, as they aren't very uniform in text size or spacing.

I think you're getting there, but it doesn't quite make it yet. The originality is improving slightly in the later comics, but, again, the use of the OOTS jokes is killing my brain cells as a result from me smashing my head into my desk so frequently.

There are ways for a cleric to gain more domains. 'till now, i only know of 5 domained cleric.

Also, the evil party is absolutely screwed. Necromancers are the worst wizard specialization, and fighters are almost as bad as samurai past 4th level... Whereas the good party has a cleric who bends the rules to be ridiculously powerful, mixing the power of both cleric and wizard, and a druid, who is a freaking druid.

However, you're forgetting that both sides have a good deal of plot written into them. So their classes are underpowered, big. Freaking. Deal. It's a comic, it won't follow the rules exactly. If the plot dictates that they're roughly evenly matched, dispite class choices, then they'll be evenly matched. Simple as that. It's not a DnD game, it's a comic based on DnD.

Bayar, SoD, You two are freaking great! :elan:

[Beans]

Eh. I mean, I largely disregard DnD stuff in mine. I may end up making up spells and whatnot, classes, anything.
Although I'll try to keep the cleric within the bounds I set for him.

[CrimsonAngel]

Putting that aside...

@Crimsonangel, I sent you a PM. Also, I doubt 2000 people have read Crimson Stick, some of those views are people looking at it multiple times, and even you going to these pages. Just saying...

Great potential talent, a little more effort is needed.

[T-O-E]

There are only 34,000 users on this forum.
Many are inactive.
Many do not visit the Arts and Crafts sub-forum.
Therefore, I find it highly unlikely that 2,000 people have seen your comic.

[Assassin89]

A few constructive criticisms.

There are massive plot holes within the comic.
Some of the artistic choices do not correspond with the intended action.
Not much creativity in some of the dialogue


Edit: contest character

Your pictures are missing.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Your pictures are missing.

Considering this comic started in 2008, that's not very surprising.
