The Prestige: Chapter 1

[MethosH]

Hello everyone, I'm here to present my OotS-style webcomic, The Prestige!


http://www.zecarioca.net/Imagens2009/ThePrestige.png

About (General):
At first I was thinking about calling this webcomic an aH-style webcomic instead of a OosT-wecomic. Why? Some time ago I went to the "extras" at the anti-HEROS page and I've seen a guest comic by Q where he said, and I quote:

"Because you set the bar too high!"
What I'm trying to say is that I intend in keep the quality of this comic high, and I'm talking about art AND plot. The first issue doesn't count, ok? Wait until issue 4 or 5 before you say the art and the plot sucks!

All next sections will be under SPOILERS tags, so now you can jump to the comic and be happy. :smallbiggrin:

About (Updates):

Real life is being cruel lately, so the updates are current set as "irregular".


About (Comic):

The Prestige is based and inspired on Dungeons & Dragons. We reserve as our right to create classes, places, spells, characters, and other things that do not belong to D&D in order to have a rich, fun and creative webcomic.
The Prestige is a webcomic about a group of characters that decided to make a prestige class as important as their base class, none of the main characters will have only a base class. (For example, there are good chances you will never see a character that is only a bard in the main group.)


About (Characters):

Under construction. Come back later.

Cool. I'll keep my eye on this.

[The Blackbird]

"Whats the difference?"

I liked that, it made me smile:smallbiggrin:.

The comics in the arcive are really blury. Is there any tat you could fix it?

Blury? Are you sure your browser isn't resizing the comic?

You sure did :smallbiggrin:

Sorry about the nitpick.

Whoa.


I left for like 3 minutes and there are 4 new posts and a new comic(albeit a sad one) thats weird.

Sorry about the nitpick.

Thank you. I just fixed it.

"Thank you"

...Thank you too MethosHazara.

[Bayar]

I support this comic because it is wery good drawn and has proper grammar and stuff like that. Keep it up dude !

[MethosH]

A new special comic is up!
Happy easter!

[MethosH]

New comic is up, I hope you all enjoy it.

[Kroy]

Just stumbled on your comic. Keep up the good work!

[MethosH]

Thanks

New comic is up

[The Blackbird]

Birds... That are black

BLACKBIRDS!!!!!!!
Awesome http://i39.tinypic.com/11jyerm.png(Even if they're just crows)

[GrlumpTheElder]

I like this. Just adding it to bookmarks.

[Cizak]

It looks pretty good. I'll keep my eyes on it.

And now for the nitpick-part:

In comic #1, panel 9: It's always helpful if you have the speech bubble that is ment to be read first on top, because thats how you read a comic (and books), from top to bottom. So in panel 9 , when I read, they talk in the wrong order, and that can sometimes be a lttle frustrating to read.

Otherwise, it's good. :)

I'll keep that in mind.

[Falgorn]

Nice comic, man!

[MethosH]

Nice comic, man!

Thanks =) tell your friends about it :smallbiggrin:

[Rae Artemi]

Great comic, small nitpick though. Comic 5 panel 9 should say give, not gave, and it would make more sense overall if it said "Did... Did you just slap me?" instead of "Did.. Did you just give me a slap?"

[MethosH]

Thanks :)

Thinking about it now.. Shouldn't it be "Did... Did you just slapped me?"?

[Szilard]

Well, "did you just slap me?" sounds better than "did you just slapped me?" The first is introducing something in the past as if it was the present, while the latter is just weird and uber-past.

[MethosH]

Thanks :smallbiggrin:
english isn't my first language

[Szilard]

You're welcome.:smallsmile:
Well, at least you have a reason for not having good grammar every once in a while.

[MethosH]

I'm having some problems with the ftp... Trying to solve it
Solved

[Eldrys]

Woot, Two pages. The comic is growing

[MethosH]

Woot, Two pages. The comic is growing
I know! Isn't that awesome?!

Ok.. New comic is up! Time to get the plot going.

I'm almost out of backup comics, I better start make some more for next week, lol.

[GrlumpTheElder]

For someone who doesn't speak English as a first language, these are excellent!

[Lemming]

I shall nitpick!
Panel 3: "seen you" instead of "saw you"
Panel 9: "Now you own me two". Either "owe me two" or "own me too".
Panels 4+11: Decide whether kid is capitalized or not! Or the evil Proper Name Djinn will steal your comic making skills! And nobody wants that! :smalleek:
Suggestion: "We are here" is good grammar, but kind of clunky. "We're here" or "We're there" is a little smoother. What? I said nitpicky didn't I?? :smalltongue:
Aside from that, this comic is awesome. :smallbiggrin:
And you have better grammar than some english speakers. :smallamused:

[MethosH]

Special thanks to everyone that is helping me with grammar 'accidents' :smallbiggrin:

[MethosH]

New comic is up

I will try to make a new one until the end of the week, but I have lots of work to do...

[MethosH]

New comic is up...
man that was a busy week... I'm glad its almost over.

[Cizak]

In comic 8, panel 7 "kobold" is spelled wrong. Otherwise, good comic.

[Szilard]

That kobold is awesome.:smallbiggrin:

[GrlumpTheElder]

Sorry to be a pain, but in panel 10, it should be 'his' insted of 'he's'

But, still brilliant as usual.

[MethosH]

Once again, thank you all for feed back and corrections :smallbiggrin:
I've updated the comic.

Ok.. I wont have access to the internet this week, I will try to update from work

[MethosH]

New comic is up!
Tell all your friends about it!
All the cool kids are reading it!

[Cizak]

Is it really supposed to be ... ehm, what is the name of the main-character again? Anyways, is it really supposed to be him talking in the 10th panel? Or is that the joke? :smalltongue:

[Eldrys]

@^I think the horse is supposed to be the one talking, so that the bad guys won't recognize emrone's voice(I think).

[Mad Mask]

:smallbiggrin: I laughed so hard at that one.

[MethosH]

New comic is up :smallbiggrin:
Oh, and by the way, it was the horse talking on Issue 9 :smalltongue:

[Cizak]

Nice comic, altough "powerful" only has one l in it :smallsmile:

[MethosH]

Thanks!

And special thanks to everyone that helped this comic get to the mark of 1,026 views :smallbiggrin: (I know at least 200 was just me lol)

[lord of kobolds]

Why did the kobold have to be male? A ballerina\fairy kobold woman is the stuff of fantasies (look into that for some fanservice):smalltongue:

[MethosH]

A female kobold in fairy clothes would just be too obvious :smallbiggrin:

[MethosH]

*Look at the webcomic...*
RESURRECT!!!!

:smalltongue:
Sorry about the long time without comics but here is a new one!

And to all of you that are still waiting for an avatar... I'm even more sorry about that!

Now excuse me... I need to work on the next issue of Reality (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=110998)

[Green-Shirt Q]

That guy in the chair certainly looks friendly.

How come obviously villianous characters always sit in big chairs? Why not an evil couch of evil love seat for a change? :smallsigh:

Good comic. I'm readin' this series, see? :smallbiggrin:

[MethosH]

Thanks for reading :smallbiggrin:

They sit in big chairs cuz they are selfish! A couch of evil would just be big enough for more then one person, while a big chair is big, but only for him! :smalltongue:

[Lemming]

But if he is truly evil, he will take up the whole couch and taunt people with the empty space. :smallwink:
"Please, sir, may I sit down?"
"NO! MY COUCH!"
And then he could hide his face in the pillows and hold his breath till the person was executed. :smalltongue:

[MethosH]

Now that's true, maybe I should really give him a bad ass extremly confortable couch of evilness! :smalltongue:

[Lemming]

Thats the spirit! :smallbiggrin:

[Cizak]

I like where this is heading :smallsmile:

[MethosH]

New comic is up!

This comic have a new special character that is inspired on an avatar I made a while a go to a playgrounder named "Raien" :smallbiggrin:

By the way, I'm already working on the Evil Couch of Evilness!! :smallamused:

[Cizak]

*Giggle* :smalltongue:

[Gourtox]

Very awesome Comic you got here and weird conversations.:smalleek:

[Rae Artemi]

Great comic, couple of nitpicks though. Comic 10 panel 4 should say "Get off of the "Horsie"!" (exclamation point optional), and Horsie looks better as Horsey. In comic 12 panel 11 it should say elf chicks, not elve chicks. Also comic 12 is listed as comic 11 in the archives.

[MethosH]

Where would I be without the nipticks? :smallbiggrin:
As soon as I get back from my trip I will take a look.
I really need to find a reviewer :smalltongue:

[Legoleg]

Great job so far! :D

If you want, I will PM you my email so you can send the comic to me, and I will send it back with corrections. I am going to take English as a main course in College, and would like to use it for something. ;)

[MethosH]

New comic is up!
And I'm not dead.

[Green-Shirt Q]

Hurrah! The comic isn't dead! :smallsmile:

Looks like the couch of evil is coming up soon. :smallbiggrin:

[MethosH]

No, not really :smallbiggrin:
Don't let your eyes play tricks on you, this is not a castel of pure evil.

[Cizak]

Yey, this comic is up and running again!

I actuallly got more excited about this than I thouhgt I would be... Maybye it's that I'm happy for Roy's resurrection, but let's say it's because I like this comic alot. That way, it's more fun for you :P

[Elrond]

Elrond like this comic, yes he does...

[MethosH]

Yeah... Inkscape just died and toke the next comic down with him! :smallfrown:

[MethosH]

New comic is up :)

The forum is resizing the comic (no clue why) so I recommend you to read it from the link in the archive.

[Rae Artemi]

Dreat comic, time for nitpicks though:
panel 2: "castel" should be castle
Panel 3: Did she tell herself to do her Job? If not that should be a seperate speech bubble. Also "asigned" should be assigned.
panel 7: It should be "I didn't see you coming." Also, the 2nd speech bubble has an extra period.
panel 9: "recruting" should be recruiting, and it should be "Your father has decided to join us..."

In unrelated news I am no longer grounded.

[MethosH]

Yes, she is talking to herself... but not exacly herself.

I really need somebody to revise my comics before I put them up :smallmad:

Oh well.. I will fix it ASAP.

In unrelated news I'm happy for you!

[MethosH]

New comic is up.
Again, the forum is resizing the comic... I don't know why and I don't know if its just me. So i recommend you to read from the archive.

On an unrelated note... my final exams are almost over, so I should get back to the comic soon.

On another unrelated note... I should update Reality tomorrow, so if you enjoy my other comic, take a look tomorrow :smallbiggrin:

[pflare]

I'm enjoying it so far. I'll keep my eyes on it.

[Rae Artemi]

great comic, but i have a little nitpick

in the last panel the apostrophy in "pee'd" is unnecessary, apostrphies don't modify tense, they form contractions.

[MethosH]

Yeahhhh... About that.... I didn't really knew the word, so I've asked somebody :smallbiggrin:

Should it be "peed"?

[Lemming]

You could say "I just pissed my pants..." :smallbiggrin:
Waiting eagerly for the couch of EVIL!! :smalltongue: Why Timmy! That's so EVIIIL!

[Threeshades]

Yes it's a hard life not bein' a rogue. :smallbiggrin:

[MethosH]

You could say "I just pissed my pants..." :smallbiggrin:
Waiting eagerly for the couch of EVIL!! :smalltongue: Why Timmy! That's so EVIIIL!

Thank you! That's the word I've been looking for!

[Threeshades]

By the way I think I'll be following this :smallbiggrin:

I'll say Krutt, because that is the name of one of my half-orc characters, and the name looks like it would fit him. Because he's green and k-names seem to fit.

[Green-Shirt Q]

So here is what I'm going to do.... Welcome to The Prestige Name Contest!

I would enter, but I usually give my names based on the personality of the characters or what the characters are planned to do. I don't know much about either of these things for your characters, so I don't think I can give very good names.

I guess I could try, though. When I think of a good name for any of these characters, I'll post it.

[MethosH]

How about Zizzizerpuddlenufer, and Squerky.

Sir, you've just came up with a name that even I can't pronounce!

Ok, this is kind of fun... So I'm going to show you guys another character that is yet to enter the comic (still a work in progress)... Wanna try name this one?

http://zecarioca.net/Imagens2009/monsterinprogress.png

[The Blackbird]

How about Zizzizerpuddlenufer


ZI-zzi-er-puddle-nUfer.

Does that help:smallconfused:, because I was serious.

[MethosH]

ZI-zzi-er-puddle-nUfer.

Does that help:smallconfused:, because I was serious.

That does help! Actually my brain just went "So many characters. Doesn't compute! Error!" :smallbiggrin:

[Captain Alien]

Hey, I like this strip. The characters are charismatic, cool and original. Also, the jokes are funny. I like the elf chick. She is as badass as she is sexy. And arcane archer is a cool class.

http://zecarioca.net/Imagens2009/arcanearcher.png
Alhena It is the name of a star, and a beautiful one. Also, it sounds elven without sound stupid.

http://zecarioca.net/Imagens2009/blackguard.png
Lord Khelm. You would not mess with someone who calls himself Lord Khelm, would ya? It sounds badass while not meaning anything, and it does not make an obscure reference to anything, so it is perfect!

http://zecarioca.net/Imagens2009/DaGreenSkin.png
Zharn. The same reasons as the previous one. Possibly cool, simple, but, instead of being badass and inherently powerful, it can fit almost every character.

http://zecarioca.net/Imagens2009/DoublePrize.png
Baggy "the Pirate" and J. Nobody knows why they call him J, but no one cares! And why "the Pirate"? Well he drinks a lot and he wears a bandana. And he is also a scurvy scoundrel!

http://zecarioca.net/Imagens2009/monsterinprogress.png
Ulthur the beast. It sounds scary.

[MethosH]

Here goes an idea... for the bonus prize you guys should try names that match and are funny together... like... New and York! (Or something funnier :smallconfused:)

EDIT: Wow! four pages! Ok ok... I know that most of the posts here have been mine... but... FOUR PAGES!! And 2k+ views! Thanks to all of you! :smallbiggrin: You rule!

How about Balthazar for the helmet guy.

[Green-Shirt Q]

"I don't date alcohol induced hallucinations".

Always a good rule. :smallbiggrin:

[Cizak]

Haha, good one :smallbiggrin:

[Captain Alien]

That poor fool. I am sure he has lost his opportunity!

[MethosH]

Ok, so I'm letting you guys know my favorite names so far :smallbiggrin:

[MethosH]

New comic is up :smallbiggrin:

Remember to shout some names! I really need it :smalltongue:
And did you heard about the special "I love you so much!" comic for those who shout awesome names?

By the way... I wonder if anyone notice my attempt of showing Mike as a important character of the story on other comics :smallconfused:

[Cizak]

Niice...

BTW: The latest comic-link in the archive is wrong.

[MethosH]

Thanks, I will fix it

[Captain Alien]

That blackguard is very clever and cool. I wonder if he has another ace up his sleeve.

[GrlumpTheElder]

Brilliant Comic, made me laugh :smallbiggrin:

[MethosH]

I've made a banner. Its on the Extras Section!
Its not much.. but hey! At least is something!

By the way... 3k+ views! Yeah! :smallbiggrin:
3k+ and 100+ comments? Most of the comments being mine? COMMENT MY COMIC! :smallfurious:

[Cizak]

Haha, it was really funny :smallbiggrin:

[Captain Alien]

e way... 3k+ views! Yeah! :smallbiggrin:
3k+ and 100+ comments? Most of the comments being mine? COMMENT MY COMIC! :smallfurious:

What about posting less than one post per another user's post? Then you would not have to say that half of the replies are yours!

Well, it does not matter. It just means that you care a lot about the work you are doing, so it is fine. I tend to do that a lot, it is perfectly undersandable.

[The Neoclassic]

(I apologize in advance if anyone covered any of these points already; I skimmed but didn't perfectly read all previous comments.)

Overall, decently good comic. I honestly think it has a lot of potential. I like the character designs, and there's plenty of action. I do have some constructive criticism though...

Get a beta reader if you don't have one already. I assume that dialogue is the last thing you add; just type it up quickly and PM it to someone before adding it to the comic. They can then check to make sure you have no grammar errors. Heck, I'll do it if no one else is. I cry every time an apostrophe is forgotten or misused. :smallwink:

I personally don't find the jokes about peeing one's pants or hot elf twins funny, but I also realize that some people might. Also, coming up with good punchlines can be extremely challenging, so I have some sympathy for you there. :smallsmile:

The backgrounds are getting better, but avoid plain walls in the vast majority of cases (in my opinion). Just a little painting or sconce or something can really help.

Artistically, pretty good, though some of the differences in line thicknesses bother me, such as the border line thickness of Krutt's hair versus Krutt's body. Same goes for Not-Bob.... Though that may actually be more a perception issue on my part, lol.

I'll keep up with this comic, at least for a bit. I see that you already have 17 done so hopefully you won't randomly stop updating like I did with mine. :)

Yeah! I really need to find a beta reader... I had one offer once but the guy never actually showed. You see, my first language isn't english... I try my best to don't make mistakes, but sometimes they just happen :)
If you want to be my beta reader please say it and I will start sending the comics to you first.

Yeah.. I'm not really the funniest guy in the world, but I really hope to improve. In some comics being funny isn't even my main goal... Sometimes I just feel like telling more of the story.

I really hate plain walls... I was talking to someone about that the other day... I can't really remember who... I just don't have the time to waste drawing room decoration. Heck! Sometimes I don't have time to draw a comic!

Krutt's hair bother me as well... I guess it was the first design idea and I never really bother to change. By the way... I still haven't decide the name :smallbiggrin:

Oh.. and yeah... Not-Bob is a perception issue on your part, lol

I hope I won't stop either : )

Thank you :smalltongue:

Oops! As to the first quote, I'd love to be a beta reader. Just send me the comics or the dialogue via PM. :smallsmile:

[Green-Shirt Q]

I came up with names! Is it too late to sign up for the contest?

http://zecarioca.net/Imagens2009/arcanearcher.png Pamela. Why's every elf have to have a weird-ass name? Plus, Pamela Anderson is both hot and Canadian, two things that are good to associate with ANY character. :smalltongue:

http://zecarioca.net/Imagens2009/blackguard.png Micky "The Deadly Nightshade" Black. He has an embaressing first name, but people only know him by his self-invented nickname, which sounds scary.

http://zecarioca.net/Imagens2009/DaGreenSkin.png Tangall. Sounds kinda orcish, but not hilariously brutal and evil. I don't get an extreme brute vibe from this character.

http://zecarioca.net/Imagens2009/DoublePrize.png Vinnie and Jimmy. Rhyming names. Sort of.

http://zecarioca.net/Imagens2009/monsterinprogress.png Rapter. I think there's another meaning behind it, but all I think of is the name of a scary-ass dinosaur. :smallbiggrin:

[Keris]

Rapter. I think there's another meaning behind it, but all I think of is the name of a scary-ass dinosaur. :smallbiggrin:

Did you know that velociraptors were actually about the size of a turkey (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fb/Vraptor-scale.svg), and had feathers? Just another way in which Jurassic Park screwed up. Although there is also the Utahraptor (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/72/Utahraptor_size_estimate_chart.svg), but that's even bigger than the JP raptors, and was also feathered.
Oh, and raptor is a another word for a bird of prey, by the way. It comes from Latin, and meant "thief", or "one who seizes".

What are you talking about? The velociraptors of Jurassic Park were tiny little fellows :smallconfused:
They just didn't had feathers... And I think that by that time nobody was actually sure about that.

[Keris]

What are you talking about? The velociraptors of Jurassic Park were tiny little fellows :smallconfused:

Yeah, they weren't at all sure about the feathers, but the Velociraptors in Jurassic Park were big. Their shoulders were at around chest height for a human. This (http://unrealitymag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/jurassic_kitchen_raptor.jpg) pic is from the kitchen scene, and while you can't get a direct comparison, you get a sense of the scale.
In the novel, the "raptors" were Deinonychus (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/82/Deinonychus-scale.png)*, which was thought to be a Velociraptor at the time, but that idea was dropped before the movie was made.

You may be thinking of the small dinosaurs in the The Lost World: Jurassic Park, who were Compsognathus (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e8/Compysizes1.png)*.

*I don't know how to pluralise dinosaur names, so I'm not going to try.

What the heck are you talking about? Those in the kichen scene are refered as "Raptors" and only that... The velociraptors appear later in the movie, in the rain with the fat guy.

[Lemming]

What the heck are you talking about? Those in the kichen scene are refered as "Raptors" and only that... The velociraptors appear later in the movie, in the rain with the fat guy.
No, those spitting frilled lizardy things aren't velociraptors. They are something else entirely.

[Keris]

The ones in the kitchen scene were the film's version of Velociraptors, they abbreviated the name. The "fat guy" villain, Dennis Nedry, was blinded and killed by a Dilophosaurus. They shrunk the Dilophosaurus down, so it would be different from the raptors, as real life Dilophosaurus is fairly large (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0b/Dilocoelo_scale.png). They made up the Dilophosaurus's neck frill and poisonous spit as well.

[MethosH]

Not the splitting.. the small ones that eat him up.

EDIT:
Damn you guys! I just watched the youtube video.. you are right! There goes my childhold dreams!

[Keris]

Damn you guys! I just watched the youtube video.. you are right! There goes my childhold dreams!

Of having a pet Veliciraptor? In Real LifeTM, it's still the smallest of the dinosaurs that appear in the film.

And I wasted 15 minutes tracking down what killed all the characters who died in Jurassic park before I noticed your edit. Bah.

[MethosH]

Ok... So... No new comic today.
But I've added to the Extras section a guest comic made by Fifty-Eyed Fred from Midget on a Horse and a guest comic I made to The Randomizer from Well That Was Unexpected :smallbiggrin:

[Captain Alien]

What the hell.

[The Blackbird]

What the hell.

This sums up my thoughts on the guest comic quite well.

[MethosH]

Há! Gotchya! No new comic today... yet! I'm working on one right now, hopefully it will be up today.
Just passing by to say that The Prestige is going towards a new direction, I'm going to show more of the main plot now. :smallbiggrin:

EDIT: Comic is done! I'm sending it to the beta reader now :smallbiggrin:

[MethosH]

New comic is up : )

[Cizak]

Really good comic :smalltongue::smallbiggrin:

But you should send the title to your ebta reader too, because... it's spelled wrong...:smalltongue::smallredface: It should be "attention".

[MethosH]

Wait a minute... what happened to the black guy in #12 and #13 that said he was Mike? Is he the one in jail or the one that disappeared? :smallconfused::smallconfused::smallconfused:

EDIT: You might wanna fix #18's name in the archive, too.

2nd EDIT: Whu?? In #6 there is another guy named Mike!! What's going on?? :smalltongue:

3rd EDIT: Just noticed, reading back... #1, panel 3: "Why he wants to be best...". I think it would sound better with either with "Why does he want to be best..." or "I can't understand why he wants to be best...". Aren't you happy I'm making you go through all this extra work just because I hate typos? :smallbiggrin:

By the way... There is another Mike on #14, you missed that one. :smalltongue:

And I fixed the archive : )

[Lemming]

I have a sudden urge to reread everything and nitpick the grammar. :smallbiggrin: AKA: Boredom

Alright, comic 1:
Panel 2: Raising, not risen. Raising is more something you do to something else while risen is something you do to yourself, if that makes any sense.
Panel 3: "Why does he want to be the best" instead of "Why he wants to be the best". The former is more of a question while the later is more of a statement.
Panel 7: The natural tendency is to start at the top and go down, so people will read the bartender's reply before the question. It might make more sense if you flip the positions of the bubbles. Also: "Never heard of him" would probably be more grammatically correct, but "Never heard" is fine. :smallwink:

And that's all I can find. :smallbiggrin:

[TheBibliophile]

Great comic. Bookmark going up now.

I thot u wantd peeple 2 hlp wit gramerz n stuf. :smalltongue: Horrible joke, I know.

Anyway, comic 2!
...Almost perfect! Wow! :smallbiggrin:
Only problem is in the last panel (slug bubble #3) "because" is missing an "a". But aside from that it's awesome! :smallbiggrin:
Now for some zoological nitpicking.
Snails have shells, slugs don't. :smalltongue:
But you can leave it if you want, it's not a big deal. :smallbiggrin:

There is another Mike on #14, you missed that one. :smalltongue:

AARGH!! The world is being attacked by Mikes! Run for your life! They'll eat us!!!

My deepest apologies to everone in the real world named Mike.

[MethosH]

I've added a new image to the Extras section :smallbiggrin:

[Lemming]

I like the second from the left. :smalltongue:

[Cizak]

Aye, me too :smallbiggrin:

But shouldn't you remove the "Under construction. Come back later." now?

[Lemming]

Is this comic 3? :smallconfused:
Yes it is! :smallbiggrin:

Panel 7 is the only thing I can find. "Your powers of observation amazes me" Powers is plural, amazes is singular. It should be either:
"Your powers of observation amaze me"
or
"Your power of observation amazes me"
The first one is the most used, but the second one works too I think. Whichever one you want. :smallwink:

[MethosH]

Just to let you guys know... This week I won't be able to update The Prestige :smallfrown:

First, I need to clean my work space (it is full of nude avatars)
Second, I have some other things to do that are very important this week.
Third, the next comic requires a specific drawing techinic I'm yet to develop :smalleek: so I'll use the spare time to learn this and make the comic go into a more awesome direction.

Thanks for reading :smallbiggrin:

[Captain Alien]

Mike, you filthy traitor.

[MethosH]

New comic is up :smallsmile:
warning: 2 pages.

[Cizak]

A society called "The Prestige" that has one member out of every Prestige Class?

...

THAT MUST BE ONE OF THE COOLEST IDEA IN A FANCOMIC EVER!!!
*Cough*

:smallsmile:

EDIT: Hmm, they're all hooded and I guess we're going to see their faces slowly, one by one or at most two-three at a time...

*Coughakatsukicough* <--- Did anyone get that?

[GrlumpTheElder]

Brillaint Comic!!

Can't wait for the next one.

Great comic!

[Cizak]

"Turns out those pages were about "The Prestige". They were a spell."

I don't get it. Is the organisation a spell? An illusion? Are they not real? :smallconfused:
EDIT: Nevermind, I was to hasty in reading :smalltongue:

Nitpick: Since he's telling what happened in the past, it would sound better with "It turned out...". Although "turns out" can work, too.
Also, "tunels" should be "tunnels".

[Cizak]

Just realized, in the Naked in the Playground picture the orc has a bigger black box than all the other men. :smallwink::smallamused::smalleek:

[Captain Alien]

Plot exposition! Nice.

I'll be waiting for more.

[Cizak]

I just noticed... What the crap is that above comic #20? :smalltongue:

[MethosH]

Holy crap! That is just trash from my workspace. Some things from the next comic lol
Thanks for pointing that out

[Heroic]

Really nice comic! :smallwink:

[MethosH]

New comic is up. This one smells like AWESOMENESS in my opinion.

On another note... Both my beta reader appear to be given up the job, since they stopped replying my PM's. If you want the spot let me know :smallbiggrin:

[Captain Alien]

Woaaaaah! Amazing!

[GrlumpTheElder]

Just... Wow!



On another note... Both my beta reader appear to be given up the job, since they stopped replying my PM's. If you want the spot let me know :smallbiggrin:

I'll do this if you want. What is your update schedule?

[MethosH]

Just... Wow!



I'll do this if you want. What is your update schedule?

I was suppose to be twice a week... but real life has been a bitch lately so, the update schedule is kind of "when I have the time on my hands". :smallbiggrin:

EDIT:

Another thing... The name contest is still open

[MethosH]

New comic is up!
So... I'm not going to make a huge flash-back-style series of comics telling you the adventures of the old party. That actually may spawn a entire new comic, but I don't think its the right moment for it. This comic is starting to get some fans :smalltongue:

[Captain Alien]

Astonishing. And unexpected.

I like the Arcane Archer's sister. She is funny.

[GrlumpTheElder]

This comic is starting to get some fans :smalltongue:

Well, you can definitely count me as one of them :smallsmile:

[MethosH]

[MethosH]

Nice!

I changed my avatar :smalltongue:

[Captain Alien]

Well I must say the plot exposition was really weak.

I guess this quest to free Graham will be more interesting.

[Zolkabro]

Elastar for one of the funny names in the contest. Either one. I had two Greek words. One means punchdrunk. The other means idiot. I stuck them together and then fiddled around a bit to reach Elastar.

[MethosH]

Well I must say the plot exposition was really weak.

I guess this quest to free Graham will be more interesting.

What you mean with "weak"? :smallconfused:
Too much or not enough? I really didn't want to give that much away.. There is a lot to happen and I don't really want to keep the comic on a endless loop of flash-backs

[Captain Alien]

Actually, I must say I was wrong, so I apologize.

The story about The Prestige has lasted five strips. With the usual schedule. That's what made me think it was... Weak. It has been too slow for something like a plot exposition.

I have just read them and they are pretty interesting, in fact. When you read them all at once, the plot exposition is much better and, obviously, quicker.

So nevermind. They are a well done job. Especially the art.

I hope you don't mind what I said in the other post, I was too hasty at posting.

[MethosH]

I hope you don't mind what I said in the other post, I was too hasty at posting.

Don't worry about it. You have a point actually.. The update rate has been slow lately. :smallfrown:

[Captain Alien]

The update rate has been slow lately.

Yes, that's true, but there's no point in complaining about your update rate. It's just a fancomic, they don't pay you. It's right as long as you just keep updating.

[MethosH]

they don't pay you.

They should :smallbiggrin:

[Nageto004]

They should :smallbiggrin:

Yeah they should.

[MethosH]

Well... I'm going to travel for a couple of days and I can't wait for my beta reader to give me the feed back... So here is the new prestige comic and I see you guys in about 4 or 5 days :smallwink:

Behave!

[daggaz]

I support this comic because it is wery good drawn and has proper grammar and stuff like that. Keep it up dude !

Heh... the irony is strangely satisfying.. :smallamused:

Thank you, captain obvious. I think it is already clear that some comics come with grammar error because english isn't my first language. At least I care enough to try and find beta readers. Feel free to don't read it if that bothers you. :smallwink:

Uh.... Yeah... Oh... Ah... Right... Ok! Damn! LOL! My bad! Sorry :smallbiggrin:



So, Emrone is Exalted? :smallamused:

Er... Exalted? :smallconfused:

[Captain Alien]

Er... Exalted? :smallconfused:

Yes, have you not read the Book of Exalted Deeds? There are some "Vow of" feats, that grant bonuses to the character as long as he doesn't break the vow. For example, there is the Vow of Poverty, one of the most powerful. It gives you AC bonuses, damage, saving throws, bonus feats... But if you have any magic items or a backpack, you lose the feat. Forever.

If you haven't read the BoED, I suggest you do it. But please, read the Book of Vile Darkness before. You will know why when you have read them both.

I'll add them to my list, thanks :smallbiggrin:

A new comic is up :smallwink:

[Captain Alien]

:smallbiggrin:

That was very funny!

[GrlumpTheElder]

Brilliant as always

[Cizak]

Bahaha! That was awesome :smallbiggrin:

[Green-Shirt Q]

This made me laugh out loud.

I feel good that I can help you out with your comic, since I (partially, at least) came up with concept of the couch of evil. Of course, I didn't come up with it completely (or at all, I guess) but even so, you presented it in such a fantastic way I never even thought of! A great and pleasant surprise. :biggrin:

[Lemming]

Yes. :smallamused:

[MethosH]

New comic is up : )

[Green-Shirt Q]

This comic made me laugh hard. Particularly the 9th panel. :smallbiggrin:

[Captain Alien]

I cannot think of a better way to explain a masterplan. The eleventh panel is awesome! Well, every panel is awesome!

[Cizak]

Panels 6-12: GOLD!

[oxinabox]

this is good :-D

[MethosH]

New comic is up!

[Cizak]

ArrNo wait, Talk Like a Pirate-day was yesterday. Aww :smallfrown:

It's good though.

[Lemming]

There should be a talk like a ninja day.
When nobody says anything. :smalltongue:

Also, it is ""plague" not "plage"

[MethosH]

Fixed : )
thanks

[Kumo]

This is pretty good.

[Elfin]

Nice comic. :smalltongue:

[Kumo]

Name contest entries, PMed earlier.

Serious names:

Elf chick: Arianna (I don't really have a reason for this...)

Main Char: Alagosion (means storm child(male), and the weather is constantly shifting and changing... at least, it is here... i wanted to do 'weather' but couldn't find it)

Blackguard: Burzum (Orc for Darkness)

Orc Chieftain: Uruk (It's orcish for great. It was taken from elvish, and like an elf, the chieftain looks fairly androgynous... i don't know if you mentioned his/her gender anywhere, but...)

Joke names:

Blackguard:

Fourtyeighthunter-threefarmer-sevenlumberjack-twohunteragain-threethief-onelooter-twodogtrainer-onevigilante-sevenchef-threeknight-blackguard. Or steve to my friends.

(His family tells the story of it's ancestry through their names or something. The numbers means that many generations of the job after it)

Elf chick: Hotty

(Her mother heard a human say it before she found out what it meant in common and thought it sounded nice... If that's too much you could just put 'female' )

Main Char: [I]BARKBARKYOWL (Their father let the dog name him, thus leading to his dislike of the druid class)

EDIT: Oh wait, i forgot the orc chieftain...

Herm F. Rodite (As in, hermaphrodite)

[Captain Alien]

The blackguard is really cool. I can't wait to see him kicking someone's ass.

[Silverraptor]

This is pretty good. Maybe you can incorporate the characters from my comic as well. They have "Homebrewed" prestige classes. Of course, I'll have to reveal what they do, comic by comic.:smallamused:

But I'm going to read this. That's for sure.

[MethosH]

new comic is up :smallbiggrin:

[Belkarsbadside1]

This Is so funny. This is like what happens in my games every other session (a character has +24 to intimidate)

[V'icternus]

One of the characters in a D&D thing I go to boosts up intimidate all he can...


"Alright, so we've killed his friends and injured him, right?"

"Yeah"

"I scream at him!"

*Rolling happens*

"...He runs away screaming*

[MethosH]

Once a friend of mine rolled a natural 20 in bluff with a slave to tell her that he loved her. That was after diplomacy and intimidated had failed. :smallbiggrin:

[Silverraptor]

That was great, MethosHazara!:smallbiggrin:

And you can imagine how bad Glibness is, right?:smallamused: +40 to bluff checks.:smallbiggrin:

[TehSheen]

Wow, this comic is very hilarious! The plot and humor in this is just amazing! You sir, get a cookie.

[Captain Alien]

Why did I laugh? He just slapped a man. It's not funny.

...

Okay, okay. I admit it. It's inherently funny.

[Silverraptor]

Wow, this comic is very hilarious! The plot and humor in this is just amazing! You sir, get a cookie.

This comic is good isn't it.:smallamused:

I think that this comic and my comic (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=123238) are some of the better ones here. Doesn't everyone agree?:smallwink:

As a Fancomic Critic, I have to say that I agree with you, as already stated in The Q's Comic Review. However, I definetely don't think this is THE best comic, or even close to it.

Yeah, these are pretty damn good comics, but don't let it go to your heads.

Now I'm off to Reality! :smallbiggrin:

Now I'm going to focus a little more on the characters and a little less on the plot it self. Thanks Q! :smallbiggrin:

But... so... so... FUNNYYYYYYYYYY!!!

Great comic. But I think it should be "it really doesn't hurt that much". :smallsmile:

[Kumo]

Great comic. But I think it should be "it really doesn't hurt that much". :smallsmile:

I assumed it was part of her personality >.>

[Cizak]

Huh? We have never seen anything about her personality that says she doesn't talk right, and Methos has moer than once said that english isn't his first language and that he needs ppl to correct his mistakes.

[Kumo]

Disgusting!

The epitome of "Disgusting".

[MethosH]

Fixed : )
Thanks
I may work on another comic today

[Skeppio]

And I thought I was the only one who thought up a Half-Beholder. Great work, Methos!

BEHOLDERS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY!
Beholders only have one gender. They each have a "womb" of sorts hidden behind their tongue, and at some point during the beholder's first 40 years the eggs contained within it will fertilise. Around 12 beholderlings will gestate, and they grow to completely occupy the mouth of the beholder, its tongue lolling sickeningly out of its jaw, while the beholder survives on stored food, packed into it's intestine, stomach, and even its lung.
After around 6 months of pregnancy, the beholder dislocates its jaw, vomits up the womb, and bites it off. The beholderlings chew their way to freedom, and the parent then eats those that it doesn't like the look of. It then kicks the lucky few remaining children into the wild.

Although with Magical Aid!TM, half-beholders can come about. There's a template kicking around in a couple of sourcebooks.

Griff: You're going to die a nerd. Isn't that sad.
Simmons: You wanna die now, or do you wanna die a nerd with me five minutes from now? *pause* well?
Griff: I'm THINKING.
Simmons: I've had nightmares that start that way.

[MethosH]

From "Bastards and Bloodlines" source book:
"No one knows just where half-beholders come from. Some claim they are the result of vile experimentation, while others maintain that they arise from natural interbreeding between beholders and other things. According to legend beholders are an unstable race, with dozens of variants and subraces, so this second view gains more credence than it otherwise would."

[Keris]

Yeah, B&B was one of the sourcebooks I was referring to after the spoiler. The information on beholder reproduction came out of "Lords of Madness: The Book of Aberrations". And since LoM is a Wizards published '05 sourcebook, and B&B is a third party '03 sourcebook, I say it takes precedence.
Plus, despite what "others" may think, magic is certainly the more likely option, and "more credence than it otherwise would" still wouldn't be that much. :smallwink:

Ye-ah, magic. Bow-chika-bow-wow!

RvB references aside, the differences between beholders are so vast that it's more like a type of creature (reptile, mammal) than a specific animal. They range from Chaotic Evil to Lawful Good (outcasts, of course), have hundreds of subraces (probably, anyway. I wouldn't dream of counting them) and fulfill all sorts of party roles (I heard of a beholder giving a quest in a human town once)

Also, slapping magic on pretty much anything gives it credibility in DnD.

It's amusing to watch this conversation take place when We probably all know it's one of the 2 characters shapeshifted.:smallamused:

That is a fair point. Though to be honest, he and everyone else is currently working and ABR FFF:r right now. I think that practically every fan comic creator gers in on that sooner or later. It was the last thing on my mind, yet I joined them.:smallamused:

Easy. They shoved something really, really big up his ass before he transformed and now he's screaming because it's stuck halfway between where a baby should be and where s*** comes out.

EDIT: Wait a minute does that thing have two brains?! Or am i looking at this wrong?
