Ye Olde Wizard's Wand(A High Fantasy Adventure)

[Oregano]

http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/3359/bannereq4.png

This is my first webcomic and the art and writing will improve over time as new comics are made. The main comic will update weekly on Mondays and Fridays and there will be shorts on Wednesdays(The shorts will be either short comedies or insight into the characters including some side characters). I place the grade of art somewhere between My Name is Q and Failing Saves.

Looking forward to any feedback you guys have. By the way, I am aware that there are many OOTS-style webcomics and I'm not just making this because loads of other people are, It's a premise I've been interested in for a while and I have no real artistic ability so the OOTS style is there for convenience, it also has the bonus of being shockingly effective and deceptively complex.

[Phase]

Hmm... I'll be watching this. If you ever need pointers on the art, just PM me. Two suggestions, however: One: make the text bigger, it's barely legible. Two: in OotS, the feet usually are on a floor with in going back some more. To see what I mean just check the comic.

Good Luck!

[IsaacTheHungry]

not bad, looks interesting
i'll keep an eye on you
:smallbiggrin:
the lettering could be a bit larger but other then that I liked it

[Green-Shirt Q]

My Name is Q

HUZZAH! I got some free advertising!:smallbiggrin:

I will be watching this. I highly suggest that you make the text slightly bigger.

[Oregano]

Thanks for the pointers Phase, I noticed that text was small when I posted it, but I'm having trouble seeing the actual comic as I dropped my keyboard and my IE seems to have zoomed in, so it's looks all jaggedy.

I'll be sure to PM if I have any problems with the art.

EDIT: I just realised what you meant Phase, I been treating the bottom of the panel as the floor, sadly as I'm drawing them ahead of time, you won't see the change until the fourth strip, but the frist short shall have a floor, even though that sounds daft.

EDIT2: Made the text bigger and the text in all following comics shall be larger and more readable.

[BooTheHamster]

Hey, another webcomic! I read way too many of these... Anyways, I had the urge to compliment you on your choice of color scheme, which probably sounds odd. It has a nice taverny feel.

I will agree with Phase on the ground thing, the people look a bit like they're floating, other than that, nice work.

[Beholder1995]

Pretty darn good art, at least compared with some webcomics on the forums. One thing that really needs fixing: the transitions. A couple of the between-panel shots seem a bit wierd. Otherwise, I like it!

[Nameless]

Looks interesting.

I shall be reading... hopefully... :smalltongue:

[Oregano]

Thanks guys, what exactly do you mean Beholder1995, do you mean the reaction shot or how the lines of the frame aren't matched up perfectly?

[Beholder1995]

Thanks guys, what exactly do you mean Beholder1995, do you mean the reaction shot or how the lines of the frame aren't matched up perfectly?

Take panels 4 and 5. It just doesn't seem smooth how, in one panel the dude is smiling, and the next his arms are up and he's all :smalleek:. If I were to fix it, I'd put his arms down. I mean, in that situation would the guy really throw his arms up? He probably wouldn't be doing that unless he was running. Just a tip, though. For example, if two people were talking and one mentioned someting shocking to the other, the one who is shocked would just bulge his eyes, like so: :smalleek: While some of the facial expressions/body language seem off, the premises are interesting and I will follow this. :smallsmile:

[Oregano]

Ahh, I see what you mean, that's meant to show just how terrified he is because he knows who the woman is, and it's generally to show extreme shock compared to the mild shock of Casey(Halfling) who's only shocked because of the response of Guv(the Barman). It may be a problem though.

Thanks for the support as well.

[Oregano]

I hope this doesn't count as a double post, but I've decided to post tomorrow's strip a day early as I'll be at Alton Towers tomorrow(a theme park for those of you outside the UK) so I probably wouldn't get on my computer till late.

Strip 2:Flare-do
http://img117.imageshack.us/img117/149/strip2rz0.png

Additionally although I only have two comics(three if you include the Cast comic) I'm going to begin making promotional material.

[Phase]

If I may ask, what program do you use?

[Oregano]

I'm currently using Inkscape, your curiousity has made me curious? :smallconfused:

If you know a more appropiate program, I'm open to suggestions.

[Phase]

No, Inkscape is what I use. It is awesome.

I was just wondering so that I could tell you that it would be much better for future issues if you round the ends of the strokes. You can do that, if you dont already know, by double-clicking on 'stroke' and going from there.

[Oregano]

Hmm, I didn't know that but I noticed when I did speaking mouths(is that correct?) it did go curved at the end and did look better in that case. I might experiment with it and see if I like the look of it. Thanks again.

EDIT: Like it, using it, expect curved strokes on future comics and seen as though it's an easy edit I might as well change the ones I've already done when I have the time.

[Oregano]

Here's the first short, a look at Essence's and Guv's background, the shorts are different than the comic in that different people will narrate different shorts.

Short 1:Time is of the Essence
http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/3919/short1tn8.png

Here's the first promotional material, a banner featuring the Gnomes.

Click the image for the URL.

I know most likely no one will do this but feel free to make your own Ye Olde Wizard's Wand banners and promotional material.

All the comics are updated and rounded as well.

[Beholder1995]

Just read the 2nd comic. Pretty good, but it seemed to jump a lot. When that woman walked in, everyone immediately jumped to the one-liners and attack stances. She didn't even do anything, short of scaring the Inn owner. (I'm really bad with names, darnit!) She probably should've blasted something before everyone got mad. Still, it's interesting, and the characters are quite intriguing.

EDIT::: Also, love the shorts! Keep it up!

[Oregano]

Damn, good point Beholder1995, she was meant to zap someone or be threatening before hand but I must have left it out darnit it, might make it a bonus short or something. That was a big oversight.

the innkeepers fine, technically he doesn't have a name, Guv, if anything but he's just the Narrator so it's not that important.

Also, Valda(the orc) just wanted her to leave, mainly because of the commotion here dramatic entrance caused and the fact that Guv obviously didn't want her to be there, Frostburn(guy in the armour), on the other hand is over-violent and a bit unstable. That better explains it I hope.

[Oregano]

Here's the bonus short, retconning the events of Strip 2 and overall making it more logical and realistic.

Short 2:Reconstructionhttp://img50.imageshack.us/img50/8744/short2yn2.png

Hope you like it, too bad I have to make all these double posts; there mustn't be many fans of my work, or this webcomic.:smallfrown:

[Firestar27]

This is good, but you need to work on the facial expressions. The lines in the eyes are a little too thick. Also, the transitions are a little sudden.

You mentioned above that you had guv's arms up to show strong surprise and fear. I think the way to do it is to have the regular surprise eyes with a small little curved line on the outside of each large curved line. (Hinjo has it right before Miko kills Shojo).

I anticipate good future comics.

[Oregano]

Oo thanks Firestar27, was that the only time that double lines were used because I don't recall seeing it.

The transitions have already been pointed it, that's more of a problem with pacing, I'm trying to fit certain events into one strip each which is proving problematic, so I may just loosen that restriction and maybe do some double page strips.

Expect the thrid strip later today, I've got to go to school and do my science exam in about twenty minutes so I haven't got time to sort it out.

EDIT: Here's the Third Comic, still no floor in the main strip but in the next strip there will be luckily(kind of the downside to making a buffer).
Strip 3:Abyssal Woman
http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/319/strip3jd4.png

Hmm it seems to be rushed, I'll try and slow down the pace for future strips. I know it's a lot to ask but if you notice any typos or spelling errors will you point them out? I sometimes miss them(I noticed a lot in strip 2).

Guv's head doesn't seem to have scaled well either.

No, it happened a few other times as well. Like when Elan first thought (if he actually thinks :smallbiggrin:) about the fact that Haley was trapped in Azure City with Belkar. Roy had it in the beginning around the Bardic Nudity arc, but it wasn't as required for the situation. There were a few other times. But it is rare. It is for extreme emotion.

[Oregano]

Special treat, a bonus short today to go with the main strip(which now has a floor:smallbiggrin:). Hope you enjoy it.

Short 3:Change in Perspective
http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/7707/short3uh2.png

Strip 4: Wrong type of Party
http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/3330/strip4ct6.png

There will be more promotional stuff soon, I've got to find ways to get a bigger audience.:smallsigh:

[Beholder1995]

They're getting much better. I laughed at the end of Strip 4.
Does he have arms? And I've got your strip in my signature.

I didn't quite get the short, though.

[Oregano]

The short is a bit hard to get, it's basically a handwave/lampshading over the fact that there's a floor now sayign that the gnome tripped over the camera's wire and now it's tilted down a bit.

You'll have to keep reading to find out whether Bran has arms or not.:smallwink: There's some incentive.

Thanks for the compliment and support, I've got the Two Brothers in my sig by the way.

[Oregano]

Here's short four, apologies for the lack of humour, I'm not in a very comedic mood and I thought I'd concentrate on improving my art with this short than the humour.

Short 4:Attack of the Gnomes
http://img164.imageshack.us/img164/927/short4dw5.png

I'd like some more feedback about the comic, I want it to be the best quality possible.

[Wreckingrocc]

I place the grade of art somewhere between My Name is Q and Failing Saves.


Wow... Pretty large gap you got there, eh? It's like, anywhere from 1.5-9.5 on a scale of 1-10.

I think the art looks great, and I'd give it an 8 of 10, and I think you're getting somewhere quickly. I think you've got the talent. My first suggestion involves he speech bubbles. You might wanna "Merge" the arrows/connecting lines to the speech bubbles themselves, to eliminate the overlap. That's my ony suggestion so far. Great job! I'll tune in regularly.

[Oregano]

Thanks for the advice and support. Wooo 8/10, does that count as a good review.

I also echo your statement that it's hard to tell what people think if they don't post.*hint hint*:smallwink:.

[Beholder1995]

Great short. The Gnomes, punchline or not, are lovable anyway. Hi-Yer!

[Oregano]

Well technically it's friday here so here's strip 5, this where everything's now in motion and this has four levels of strips which I'll try to continue with in the following comics.

Sorry for the wordiness, but there's subtle foreshadowing in this strip, very subtle foreshadowing.

Strip 5:Barsteward!
http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/2161/strip5bo7.png

I've decided when it gets to strip 10 that all but the latest comic and short will only be linked to, to reduce loading times and prevent clutter.

And yay second page.:smallbiggrin:

[Oregano]

Sorry the comic's late but it's the first double page strip and has a lot of dialogue. Although sadly it doesn't really forward a story, but it shows the first definite death.

Strip 6:The Barmaid and the Thief
http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/7834/strip6ha1.png

No replies since the last comic, what's wrong with it?:smallfrown:

[Szilard]

I actually sing another one bites the dust during my DnD sessions.:smalltongue:

[Lyinginbedmon]

Hehe. Best. Singalong. Ever! :biggrin:

[Beholder1995]

#6 was wonderful. I was confused in the first panel, though. You probably should've had eighth notes floating around, to signify it was music.

On another note, I am so doing that at my next DnD session.

[Oregano]

I'm still trying to figure out how to do respectable looking musical notes, I may edit it when I've worked it out. And thanks guys for all the good comments.:smallsmile:

[Beholder1995]

It's high time this comic got some fanart.


http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm216/Beholder1995/YeOldeWizardsWandimg-1.gif

Sorry I couldn't get Valda in. She proved too hard to draw. Maybe next time.

[Oregano]

.


http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm216/Beholder1995/YeOldeWizardsWandimg-1.gif


Nice, except Mook's supposed to have a hammer although that's probably my fault for not drawing a hammer properly so that's alright.

Anyway I'm going to put this in the first post.
EDIT:I actually love the drawing, especially Casey, I think Bran's hair looks odd, but that's your style. IT's an awesome drawing anyway.

[Beholder1995]

Oh yikes. I did forget a whole lot of things.

EDIT::: At least they're recognizable, right?

EDITEDIT::: :smallconfused: Wait. If Mook has a hammer, then what's that thing he threw at the gnome in the cast comic? As for the hair, I might be able to fix that with the magic of white-out and the PhotoBucket editor.

[Oregano]

He threw his hammer, which is why the gnome isn't dead and/or disfigured.:smalltongue:

The picture's fine, in fact it's excellent, if you want to do any more or change it feel free but I'm definately content with it.

In fact, I decided to colour it.
http://img117.imageshack.us/img117/7922/yeoldewizardswandimg1ev1.gif

EDIT:Sadly it's a bit blurry.:smallfrown:

[Beholder1995]

*grumble* looks like an axe to me.*grumble* :smallwink:

Great coloring. Just why is it so blurry, though?

[Oregano]

Somebody else said it looks like an axe as well, I might redesign it and make it look more hammer like or he might have an axe and a hammer.:smallwink:

I don't actually know why it's blurry, I resized it in Paint.net, maybe it was that, although it usually doesn't blur things when you make them smaller.

[Oregano]

Here's the short for today, it's only two panels but it establishes what the Gnomes are doing, a location in my world and that we will in fact still see the gnomes.:smallwink:

Short 5: Misgnomer
http://img71.imageshack.us/img71/6001/short5gm1.png

[Beholder1995]

Nice. But you should really make the speech bubbles bigger so I can see the periods. Seeing the punctuation (or what punctuation is used) can make or break a comic.

[Oregano]

I know, that on my list of things to improve on, the problem is finding a happy medium because I don't want to make the bubbles bigger than they need to be. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

[Oregano]

Sorry for the comic being a day late, I was caught up with things but here it is and I'm tryin to do some more promotional material to upload later.

Strip 7:Betrayalhttp://img384.imageshack.us/img384/6187/strip7mw4.png.


Not much comedy in this strip but some character development and plot thickening. I would love any feedback you guys have.

[Beholder1995]

Oooooh! And the plot thickens! :smallbiggrin:

Was that woman Ambroses' girlfriend or what?

[Oregano]

It's currently undecided but it's someone Ambrose is close to and they know each other well.

Sorry for the lateness of updates and stuff, I'm going to begin work on some stuff for the comic now.

EDIT: Wow, the thread has over a thousand views, it's a mild success.:smallbiggrin:

[Beholder1995]

Oh, the lateness is fine. I haven't updated my comic in two (three?) days. The only difference is that I can say I was busy doing stuff for Independance Day. :smallbiggrin:

[Oregano]

Yer, so was I, go America!:smallwink:

Nar, it's been a range of different things that have stopped me from producing and updating the work on time.

Thanks for being patient guys.

[Phase]

Heh. Nice. Good to see your art improving, Oregano.

(I almost tried to give you the nickname 'Orgy,' right there. Oops.)

[Oregano]

Thanks, I'm trying to improve the art constantly but it sometimes takes a long time. I don't think the light from the fire looks very good though.:smallannoyed:

Yer, that wouldn't be a good nickname, well it could be but I don't think it would end up good. I've already got the nickname "Spiceboy" from Curly.

EDIT: I think the reason I have to double post all the time is because I reply too much.:smalltongue:

@V:Nice, I will do.

It may be something useful to put in my visual techniques thread as well.

@V:That was the idea, maybe I should draw that as a bonus art piece or something.

[Phase]

Why do I feel as though I'll never be complete until I see Captain Kirk hitting on Valda?

[Oregano]

Here's the first batch of smiley's/emoticons, there's one for each character even minor ones(the exception is the minor characters out of the shorts but I may do smiley's for them soon).

Here's yesterday's strip, sorry about being late again but I'm now making them on my laptop so I have to get use to the synaptic control and it takes longer to do some things.

It would have been funnier if he had just tied a stick to his lip for a moustache.

[Beholder1995]

I liked the way the guards were designed. More classically medieval than fantasy.

[Oregano]

Phase, how would he tie it to his lip? he's not steven tyler.:smalltongue:

Thanks Beholder, I wanted the Guards to be more realistic and believable because they're like normal people doing a job, not the heroes or villains of the story.

By the way, Phil and Fred are in tomorrow short.:smallwink:

[Oregano]

Here's today's short, good news with this as I think I'm back on track creatively and I'm also quicker with the laptop now so we should have regular updates now and may be even some bonus updates.

Short 6:Brother from another...comic?

If any one else wants a cameo in the comic, just tell me and I'll see if I can fit it in anywhere.

[BRC]

Heh, if your'e up for a challenge you could try slipping the Kobold mafia in there, proably just in the backround somewhere.
PS: I love mook the Goblin, perfect name.
*is reminded he needs to finish up the next Rob and Jack, get's back to work*

[Oregano]

I accept your challenge, BRC and I feel I have the perfect place to put them in the strip.

This is an important update, I'll group a lot of announcements together.

Firstly, the strip on friday may be late as I am updating the art, hopefully it will improve the strip greatly and I'm attempting to make it more OOTSy, some characters may have very noticable differences whereas some won't be as noticeable.

Secondly, I am going away on the 24th of this month until the 18th of August so the Strip will have less updates but I'll try to add several updates before I leave and I will have somewhat limited access to the internet while I'm away so there will be updates but they probably won't be regular. I am, however, open to the idea of guest comics.

Thirdly, the story will slow down from now on and the characters are going to spend quite afew strips in Weston, this is to bring in line with OOTS and other comics which have significantly slower pacing.

Finally, I've got nothing else except I may answer questions like an FAQ or something so feel free to ask any questions although some may not be answered.

Pure. Awesomeness.

:biggrin:

Sad news, during the server downtime, some stuff came up(such as preparing things for my holiday on Thursday and I didn't get around to completing any comics, which means I'm well behind. However, I did manage to update the art and personally I think it looks more OOTS.

So here's one comic which would be Friday before last's.
Strip 9:Isn't the town surprisingly empty?http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/9489/strip9ne9.png

I'm going to try and update once a day until Thursday and eventually catch up although I won't be able to post as often on holiday I shall be working on more comics so I can post them when I'm back in August.

[Beholder1995]

Nice. But it should have been "Who's Ambrose?" not "Ambrose?" it implies that those two made the connection. Wait... did they?

[Oregano]

Well they don't know who Ambrose is but for them it's pretty clear who Bran was addressing when he said it, so they now something's wrong about him.

By the way, what do you think of the art, is it better? although there's not much difference with these, but it's more noticeable with Valda.

[Beholder1995]

I think you're improving. I don't really pay attention, though, to be honest. :smallredface:

[Oregano]

Sorry about the lack of updates, this is really bad for my credibility.:smallfrown:

There's a combination of reasons why there hasn't been an update, lack of ideas, thefact I packed my laptop away and had only occasional acsess(sp?) to the PC, Pokémon and TV Tropes.

There'll be no updates from me for a while probably, but when I return I'll have lots of work done for the comic hopefully.

Guest Comics are always a welcome thing as well.

EDIT:Here's a banner for while I'm gone.
