[Shades of Gray]

Yeah...

Bored...

And my friend is hogging the computer with CoH installed.

[Vulion]

Wow, it is slow today.

:smalltongue:

[Lyinginbedmon]

I've had two Remember comics to make and I woke up at 2 PM, so I've been kinda busy.

On top of that we're still debating the Ethereal Plane in ABR, but we seem to be at somewhat of an impass.

[The Gremlin]

....
*Cries*

[Shades of Gray]

I stand by BRC's idea (minus the part about whether or not they were once the same).

We never decided between KPs, Mine, or Mad Mask's (Although my idea kinda absorbed his) ideas for the cosmology.

[Tiffanie Lirle]

Anyone care to tell me as to why we need such heavy detailing on this matter? Seems somewhat unimportant to me.. :smalltongue:

[Shades of Gray]

Points to Wiki.

Points to Backstory comic.

we do a lot of needless things.

[Green-Shirt Q]

Yeah, but those things are fun.

I am slightly annoyed at all this cosmology and planes and all this crap. Can we just make it up as we go along? That seems to be more of the ABR spirit.

Not since we got 4 plots. :smallsigh:
Now, we have to maintain realism. We have to flesh out the world. So, it is necessary. We can do nothing but roll with it.:smallcool:

[DoomITP]

since when does abr revolve around any form of realism? Leroy isn't even possible in the natural world.

What does 4 plots have to do with it? :smallconfused:

I don't think we technically HAVE to do anything. We can do much more then roll with it, we can stop rolling with it and keep our attention to what's important: the next comic.

@Q: Not really, you see, ABR tradition has always been "Do it until you get bored of it". In the days of ABR past
*Focus softens*
occasional mini-plots would arise, basically consisting of somebody attacking somebody else, leading to a retaliation, and so on and so forth until one side got bored of it. FFF has gone on this long basically because we didn't get bored of it, though individual parts of it have. We got bored of the Keys, so now we are wrapping that up. Thus, we will debate the cosmology of the ABR until we get bored of it.

Pretty much what he said.
When it is resolved Avbaroy will be better for it. The more we explain how it works, the better the webcomic it will be.
Because, by your logic Burlew should have stuck to 0 plot and continued doing spot check jokes..
/\I know, I'm sorry. But Doomer is always saying stuff like,
'Realism?
THIS
IS
ABR!!!'
Which drives me crazy. But Avbaroy is part of ABR, as you said. It is also something interesting which deserves to be fleshed out, and is separate from Doomer's apparent ideal of having no plot.

NO
BURLEW
SHOULD'NT'VE!

What I mean is, I thought that discussing Cosmoslogy is pretty pointless. Plot, very pointfull, but I don't think the comic will be poorer for it if we didn't argue about the cosmos.

[memnarch]

Neither is a salmon that breaths oxygen at all.

Are salmon animals? yes
Are they from the planet earth? yes
then they breathe oxygen.


Now it might not be air that they breath (like humans), but there is oxygen dissolved in the water and that is what they use.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Okay, here's an idea.

Everyone with a theory, PM me that theory, summarised and as easy to understand as possible.

I will open a poll with the option of each theory. The first post will list all the details of these theories.

Whichever theory gets the most votes, we shut up and accept it as writ for Avbaroy's ethereal plane.

It's more an idea for the end phase.

As regards the flying salmon on earth debate, we already have the flying fish. The Flying Landfish could easily be an evolution of that. Once it becomes the dominant species of it's environment, it could then feasibly move on to evolve better manoeuverability and dexterity, and of course intellect would follow.

But seriously, we just like fleshing out Avbaroy. Who knows, maybe one day we'll publish it as a D&D campaign setting!:smalltongue:

I just wanted to use a term more specific then air. Anyway, fish do not breath, they do whatever they do with their gills.

[Green-Shirt Q]

:smallconfused: Yes they do.

Fish DO do what they do with their gills.

[Lyinginbedmon]

I know what you're talking about and I believe it's osmosis.

Which is pretty much the same thing that happens in our lungs.

[Szilard]

Breathing requires lungs, something fish lack.

[The Gremlin]

Breathing requires lungs, something fish lack.

No it doesn't, actually. Both fish and mammals breathe.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Breathing requires lungs, something fish lack.

I said they function similar to lungs, I never said they had lungs.

[Szilard]

@Lying, I know, I was responding to Q, but you ninja'd me.

Anyway: Breathing on Wikipedia. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breathing)

[BRC]

I find it odd that we are currently debating how they breath, and are ignoring the fact that they can fly.

[Green-Shirt Q]

@Lying, I know, I was responding to Q, but you ninja'd me.


Oh right. I misread what you had originally said. I read it as this:


I just wanted to use a term more specific then air. Anyway, fish do breath, they don't do whatever they do with their gills.

And I got confused. Sorry.

[Szilard]

Actually, we were talking of the non-existance of such creatures from our world. Unless someone crossbreeded the lungfish, the flying fish (Jumping fish? I forget), and a salmon in the correct way with the appropriate vocal cords and mental capacity to talk.

Anyway, I think gremlin said that Leroy would not exist in the real world, so I thought, why signal him out? What about the other flying landfish?

Edit:@Q, ah, that makes sense, kind of.

[The Gremlin]

Hey guys, I'm working on Inkscape, but how do I adjust the thickness permanently? I can change, say, the pencil thickness, but then I try using the pencil and it uses the normal thickness. How do I make it stick?
EDIT: Also, what do I save it as? Inkscape won't let me upload any file type I can think of (png, jpg, svg, etc.).:smallconfused:

[Szilard]

If I knew, that would save be about two and a half seconds for every selection of lines.

[kpenguin]

Once it becomes the dominant species of it's environment, it could then feasibly move on to evolve better manoeuverability and dexterity, and of course intellect would follow.

Alright, explain to me exactly how the flying fish, a species of fish with enlarged pectoral and pelvic fins that allow it to glide in the air, evolve into flying landfish, a species of fish who are shaped very differently than flying fish with regular sized pectoral fins and no pelvic fins to speak of.

It would make more sense for flying landfish to evolve from lungfish (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lungfish), devolping the skills to move on land first and then developing the gas bladder independently of a flying fish's gliding fins.

Although, if flying landfish fly by magic, it would mean Salmon could easily be incapacitated by an antimagic field.

Maybe magic helped them evolve in teh first place, though!

[DoomITP]

select the pencil

draw a line with it

goto fill and stroke and set the stroke to whatever


then double click the pencil icon and the options comes up


pick set to current style


it should be perma set now.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Generally it uses the last setting, which is why I'll occasionally draw a new shape and have it come through semi-transparent and stuff.

I'm unsure of how to permanently change the line thickness for anything; I usually make the shape, then change the size using "ctrl+shift+f".

To the images just do the normal save as. Inkscape will save it as a ".svg" file which is required if you want to keep the ability to move the vectors and whatnot. "ctrl+shift+e" is what you use to export the image to a png file.

I've tried saving it as PNG and it still won't upload on Photobucket.:smallconfused:
EDIT: I guess that I gotta 'export', cause it worked! Thanks! Will post the image in a sec!

[Szilard]

Are you saving or exporting?

[memnarch]

http://i40.tinypic.com/20876te.jpg
Then browse to the location where you want the image you selected exported to. Make sure there's the .png at the end of the location as sometimes it doesn't put it on for you.

[The Gremlin]

See the edit.
Also, here's the image!

Wow, don't think the Abr discussion threads have had a day this slow in..er.. ever.
(At least when the forums are working) :smalltongue:

I'd prefer slow to drama.

Verisimilitude. Not realism.

Select the pencil.

Draw a line with it.

Go to "Fill and Stroke" (Shift-Ctrl-F) and set the stroke to anything.

Then double-click the "Pencil" icon and an "Options" window should come up.

Select the "This tool's own style:" radio button, and then press the "Take from selection" button.

It should now be set permanently.

This also works for the Pen tool.

Critique for gremlin

Try using the circle tool so you don't need up with that extra line near the bottom of the head, remove the white fill from the feet, and make the hands about the same size everywhere.

Yeah, I thought the hands looked weird too. I'll try to use taht advice in teh future.
I noticed the feet only just now, but when I reopened the the edges seemed pixelly. I'll remember next time.
And I did use the circle! However, I had to put a line over it!
See, whenever I did the line thing, it would end up covering the bottom of the head. So I did a curve, which sorta fixed it but made it look a little odd.

[DoomITP]

It isn't a 'crack'. You seriously need to use better grammar. English is your first language, so you have no excuse. And if you plan to leave because we want you using better grammar, then you probably should reconsider. It isn't a thing to leave over.
Seriously, lighten up. Grammar isn't that hard to use. :smallannoyed:

[memnarch]

Grem; Two things. first, if you select an object, you can press pageup and pagedown buttons to move the selected option above or below the other objects that you have made. second, you are going to want to save inkscape files normally (as .svg), not exporting them. That way, you can go back and make changes to the vectors.

just some things you might or might not have gotten yet.


Mega; you really need to learn to relax. Grammar is important however, if you want to be taken seriously. (and get respectful answers too, most of the time)

Ah, no, not quite.
Save: Saves the image as a .svg. Can be changed in Inkscape. Shortcut: Ctrl-S.
Export: Saves the image as a .png or other. Cannot be changed in Inkscape. Shortcut: Shift-Ctrl-E.
EDIT: Or you can go with BRC's metaphor. It's much better.

[BRC]

Ohhhh, so I save it as svg when I export? Thanks! I think I understand now.
No.

The file that you edit is called a "SVG" or "Scalable Vector Graphics" file. When you export it, Inkscape takes what your selection/the stuff on the page/the entire drawing and creates a PNG out of it.

Here is a metaphor, Imagine a big empty space that you can put stuff in, move stuff around in, ect. Occasionally, you take a picture of all or part of the big empty space, and then you can go back to moving stuff around. The Picture is the PNG file, the big empty space is the SVG.

Also, Trazoi's guide is highly reccomended. It's a great starting point, once your comfortable with it, you'll end up naturally developing your own style.

Sometimes I find myself forced to use the fill-bucket tool. The node tool, along with some fill/stroke fiddling, can fix that silly white outline.

The first guy is my old character, Arendil (who, don't worry, is going to die as soon as possible)and the other is just a random bald guy.

Starting to look better. A few tips: Make the torso shorter and the legs longer. On Arendil, make the staff/cane thing thinner. Use less nodes on his hat thing. Use OOTS as a reference, and make the robe more structured. The line thickness fluctuates, select the pieces of robe and use the union tool, to make the change more seamless.

[The Gremlin]

To get rid of the white space, select the feet, go to fill and stroke and select "no fill".

Ohhhh yeah. Sorry, forgot.
/\What are nodes?:smallconfused:

[Elder Tsofu]

Ohhhh yeah. Sorry, forgot.
/\What are nodes?:smallconfused:

It's the little boxes which sits in every "corner" of the line. They usually got handles on them so you can change the line one node at a time.

Seconded. It made me laugh.
If you don't like it, maybe you should redo it in your current drawing program in your spare time?

Remember to add mouths.:smalltongue:

[Threeshades]

Art updating might be appropriate i could get some more consequential templates. My templates usually consist of the character in question in the pose i made them in. Each usually drawn from scratch. Sometimes just changed from an older picture i had.

Im thinking blank bodies with eyes in each gender for each race and maybe some variation as it is the case in Rich's style. And each blank template in various common poses (standing, walking, running, and so on)

And on those i add the colors and extras of each character where appropriate.

Hmmm... i only seem to have the characters standing around looking stupid...
(unlike my DoY templates, they seem quite organized...:smallconfused:)

[Shades of Gray]

I just edit my Oliver template. Standard look, pants, shirt, ummm... head...

Or for robed characters I use my Lying template.

For girls I use the template I have for Lily (The Succubus)

[Keris]

I invested a while ago in Template Guy!TM and he hasn't steered me wrong yet. In fact, the first avatar I made with him is still in use, and is about the only avatar I've drawn that someone else is using.
Of course, I've had to get hold of Template Girl!!TM, Template Halfling!TM and Template Slyph!TM, but that's mainly just to complete the set.

[Shades of Gray]

No Template Catgirl!?

Of course, I've had to get hold of Template Girl!!TM, Template Halfling!TM and Template Slyph!TM, but that's mainly just to complete the set.

This "Template GuyTM" investment intrigues me. May I learn/see where to get this set so I don't have essentially static poses for my characters? (well, not really as I touch them up so they aren't that frozen)

[Keris]

No Template Catgirl!?
Well, I had to hand-craft the Catgirl EarsTM. I mean, I couldn't outsource those. And the tail's easy to draw, and really should be in a different position in each panel, so can't really be templates.
So Catgirls are made using Template Girl!TM, mainly for OotS characters, or Template Sylph!TM, for Dekopin and others (e.g. banner catgirls).


This "Template GuyTM" investment intrigues me. May I learn/see where to get this set so I don't have essentially static poses for my characters? (well, not really as I touch them up so they aren't that frozen)

Unfortunately Templates!, Inc. has yet to release a full pose set, and is currently limited to Standing, 3/4 view.

[Mad Mask]

I usually make templates and poses from scratch when I have to include them in my comic. For important characters, I usually have a box with the different poses and views (which speeds up the process, since I don't have to re-shade them when I copy them into my comic). For example, Stephen Mask (this template appears to be ugly compared to my new template of him, which I have yet to include in any comic):

http://www.kinogo.com/victor/fanart/templates.png

I do not usually copy features from a characters to an other, but I tend to have eyes ready for less important characters.

[Ninja Chocobo]

Unfortunately Templates!, Inc. has yet to release a full pose set, and is currently limited to Standing, 3/4 view.

Yeah, all my characters are this. Posed as required, and you can't go wrong with 3/4 view. Seconding Template Guy!TM as a worthwhile investment, though.

[Shades of Gray]

What is this TemplateGuy! of which you speak.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Assuming there's any detail to the arms, I make a 3/4 view with one arm by the side and an outstretched arms (If no detail, just the arm by the side). Expression varies but is usually regular eyes and a closed mouth (Typically a smile).

I usually convert an old template, but quite often I'll resize parts or make new pieces of clothing or props from scratch. Eyes are uniform across my templates, barring scale, so I keep a separate SVG file with standard expression components, like frowns, pointed eyebrows, curious/confused eyebrows, closed eyes, all variations of smiling and toothy smiles, etc.

Don't make me mad again Nameless (:smallmad:), Brc (Hi..) and Serpentine (whom is a good artist I heard). Bears are silly with cats on them and lasers aren't improving it but eagles on the other hand...

On a different topic that video don't make sense since a) Vikings didn't have horns in their helmets, b) Scandinavia aint really cold, c) Wich western shore could they sail to while leaving the coast, and d) They only sang when drunk wich they wheren't while sailing.
But else it's fun.

A) probably not, B) it is quite cold, depending on what you compare it with and where in scandinavia you are (Denmark is quite tropical I've heard :smalltongue:), C) western shore? the baltic nations and russia ofcourse - the swedish vikings did that. D) I personally think worksongs have been sung on many a vikingship while putting your muscles at work by the oars. :smallwink:

And didn't Gorbash Kazdar put up a quite big collection of templates for weapons, clothes, harstyles and bodies?

Cold is a relative term, I'm sure Scandinavians wouldn't consider it cold (I'll need to ask my norwegian cousin that), in the same way that, say, arabs may consider their homeland Hot.
The horns in the helmet thing is not true though, that is widely acknowledged.
Also, please stop taking random silly things as insults to your cultural heritage, it gets kinda annoying.

But else it's fun.Well, the song's actually a classic by Led Zeppelin, but aside from that:
a) No, though the Celts did. It's just a popular image, and I don't think they were really going for historical accuracy.
b) Uh... Yes it is :smallconfused: At the very least, bits of it are, at the very very least it is in winter, and furthermore there were/are plenty of Vikings in Iceland, which is plenty cold.
c) Assuming "western shore" could refer to "shore to the West", it'd probably be the UK.
d) I find it hard to believe any people only sing when drunk.

Seriously though. It's a video of kittens. Viking kittens. Wielding weapons. On a boat. Why the bajeebus are you complaining about that stuff? :smallconfused:

Elder: I don't even belong in this thread, and even I know someone already posted those templates :smalltongue:

I mean... Yes I do belong here <.<

Serpy, Keveak perceives any references to vikings as slights against his cultural advantage. We don't know why. Don't bother questioning it, just ignore/make fun of him, that's what we do.

a- Actually, some Vikings did have small horns on their helemts, but it's been over exadurated due to their "Barberic" image

b- Compaired to other countries around europe, most of Scandinavia such as Norway, Sweden, Iceland and Finland are quite cold

c- It was just a joke animation.

d- The were always drunk. :smalltongue:

@ Mechafox: I LUL'D! :smallbiggrin:

Everybody does :D. I think it's like the first rule of ABR, if you ignore the fact it actually isn't, of course :smalltongue:.

Just to clarify, it's the individual in the back who is the male (we are known for our hairy chests and blond hair, although this one is a tad under average height or a youth). The one in the front is the average female - we have a lot in common with spiders.

And serpentine, you belong here more than I do - so don't worry. :smalltongue:

[Mina Kobold]

I was mostly joking too. By the way winter never have much snow over here so considering it cold and snowy can't be right and they belived that mead made you sing and rhyme better to the point of blamming bad skills in that to not drinking enough.

YAY for obscure historic facts.


By the way Viking cats sound awesome but looks ridiculus and Battleon like in that video.

EDIT: Why post a picture with mo*ons in plastic helmets and claim they are scandinavian while Scandinavians looks like so many other Europeans and also many American. (Technically speaking many people look arab over here due to immigrants from those Arab countries with wars) Anyway lets stop discussing this and find another topic such as FI, FFF or Plot 3.

Yeah but you live in Denmark which is only a small (and warmest) part of scandinavia.

I agree with that. The ethical treatment for animals is for them to be our food.

Fish are not kittens! :smallmad:

Kitten Vikings riding giant eagles are awesome. So there.
Picture this: A ship is sailing the waters. It is midday. Suddenly, they hear a savage cry, and enormous eagles dive them! They look for the mighty riders, but all they see are savage kittens wearing adorable--though possibly inaccurate--horned helmets!!!
:smallbiggrin:

Hell no, I will NOT sign a petition which, by ALL means, is a violation of our constitutional rights as americans to express ourselves by slitting the throats of the sea kittens. I want to see a petition to ALLOW sea-kitten mass slaughter. :smallmad:

Careful, or the kitten Vikings riding giant eagles'll getcha. Their mastery over the Rule of Cool is much greater than yours.

I like the first, I guess.

I made my own sea kitten and it had a unicorn howrn, and glasses, and a mustache, and a vest, and cat ears, and an elephant trunk. All on the same fishy body. Ew.

1. Neat, I could see it working
2. I'd go with the thicker lines, gives a better impression of musculature than the slender lines.

1. Interesting new style.
2. Depends on the tone you want to send. Weak guy has thin, strong guy had thick.
