Dragon: an OotS-Style Webcomic

[Lyinginbedmon]

I've suffered lazy artist syndrome before, and it annoyed the heck out of me that I looked really lazy doing it. I've since done my best to avoid it, though long conversations in the same location are still largely my specialty.

[Wreckingrocc]

Mine only has 8 panels/page. I can pretty much fill a page completely with text if I want to. I'm basically immune to that problem :)

Keep us the good work, Phase. This is gunning for 3rd favorite comic on the forums IMO!

[Phase]

Okay. Two things. One, I've run out of my buffer of comics. No big deal, if I have a comic worked out in my head, the art should take about an hour. The real problem is that school will be starting up again. At the beginning of the school year, I plan on shifting the schedule from Wed/Sat to just Wed. I doubt this move will be permanent, but I need to establish my own education before this leisure activity.

That being said...

[Uncle Festy]

Nice.
Needs more rule of threes, though.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Heheh, damn you evolution. :smalltongue:

[Oregano]

Nice, I'm not concerned with the schedule, I have to catch up on the comic anyhow and I wholeheartedly agree that your education is more important.

[nhbdy]

I just found your comic, and it looks great

PS

NOT DRAMATIC IRONY NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Zeebiedeebie]

I love this comic. :smalleek:

[Phase]

I love this comic. :smalleek:

And that worries you?:smallconfused:
Did I accidentaly make a comic you're allergic to?

[Phase]

Sorry if things are going slowly. That's what a change in schedule does.

[sheepofoblivion]

*has no idea why he found that funny* :smalltongue:

my thoughts exactly

(btw phase, you didn't change the avi! see?!)

[Uncle Festy]

*laughs*
Ah, that's great. :smallsmile:

[B-Jay]

OMG!! why do i see this for the first time! made my nightshift a bit more bareable!! Good commic!:smallcool:

[Phase]

I try to make the world a more bearable place!:smallcool:

[Uncle Festy]

Don't you mean more bear (http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii173/Guanlong93/Comic/ComicThirteenptone.png)able? :smalltongue:
*is run out of the thread by angry mob*

[TheCountAlucard]

Still doing a nice jeargb, Phase.

[banjo1985]

Custard the Cat approves of this latest strip. It tickles his funnies. :smallbiggrin:

[The Gremlin]

I've been reading this comic for quite some time, I have it in my sig, but this comic is incredible. Please continue featuring the two kobolds!

[T-O-E]

Don't you mean more bear (http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii173/Guanlong93/Comic/ComicThirteenptone.png)able? :smalltongue:
*is run out of the thread by angry mob*

You, however, make the world a LESS bear (http://www.healthline.com/blogs/outdoor_health/uploaded_images/Bear-Grandfather-Mtn-Tim-Floyd-779608.jpg)able place.

By that, I mean you kill bears... for fun. And then eat them.

[Uncle Festy]

What?!?
I would never eat a bear.
I'd eat its brain. And then I'd zombify it.

[Lyinginbedmon]

If you see anything called Proctodragon or Tyran Cosix...I apologise :smallwink:

[Uncle Festy]

Heh heh…
It's funny because it's true! And awesome!

[MrEdwardNigma]

Wow... This comic is awesome. Great, original plot, somewhat decent jokes, except when we're talking about the hobo, in which case, excellent jokes.

Yeah, I think I will be following this.

[sheepofoblivion]

http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii173/Guanlong93/SporeFiller.png

hehehe that gave me a good laugh.

(by the way, you did make those changes, I guess photobucket didn't let me see them, thanks!)

any idea when it'll be back (not to rush you) I never said that. I swear.

((sorry, temporary lapse in mental ability to read. >.<))

[Phase]

Any idea when it'll be back? (not to rush you)

Huh? You never said this!

[Phase]

Hey, Playground. Just wanted to say that tomorrow's update may be late. Not as late as "Siliad" updates, but late none-the-less. This is do to no fault of my own, but due to real life.

Just a heads up, Phase

[Beholder1995]

*peeks into thread*

Good lord! I don't post here for a few months and you go and make 17 more comics?

Kewl. :smallcool:

*goes to read up*

[Uncle Festy]

Not as late as "Siliad" updates, but late none-the-less.

:smallannoyed:
Hey, I'm usually not that late with the updates! I mean, I'm currently…
er, three days behind and gaining.
Ok, so you're right.
:smallwink:

[Beholder1995]

Ha! And again Ha! Do not speak of late in my presence! My comic's supposed one-a-day schedule is five months behind! :smalltongue:

[Jayngfet]

Excellent comic.

[Oregano]

I think Phase is just trying to keep us waiting and then he's going to unleash an immensely awesome strip on us.

That's what he better be doing anyway.*shakes fist at*

[Wreckingrocc]

Hey, I'm three weeks behind with SnD. I win :smallbiggrin:.

Then again, I'm really only a week behind, considering that the art takes more than three times as long as OotS. Still, I think I win.

We forgive you, Phase, considering how addicting the game is.

[Uncle Festy]

Hey, I'm three weeks behind with SnD. I win :smallbiggrin:.

Er…


Ha! And again Ha! Do not speak of late in my presence! My comic's supposed one-a-day schedule is five months behind! :smalltongue:

:smalltongue:

[XenoTherapy]

Phase, I was going to applaud this masterpiece you created, buuut...


I noticed you had spore. And a machine decent enough to run it. So now I'm just going to send basement cat minions to your back door.

Watch yourself.

Watch yourself.

Ah, but it's on a different computer! Dragon is made on my laptop, Ralph, while Spore is played on my desktop, GLaDOS.

[Oregano]

Well make a new strip and play on spore at the same time!

[Uncle Festy]

I still find it hilarious that you named your desktop computer GLaDOS.
*considers quoting 'Still Alive'*
*decides not to*

[XenoTherapy]

Ah, but it's on a different computer! Dragon is made on my laptop, Ralph, while Spore is played on my desktop, GLaDOS.

Perfect! Then my basement cat minions can steal GLaDOS and Dragon will still be around. Brilliant!

[Uncle Festy]

Wouldn't GLaDOS destroy them with the power of lazors and plot?

[XenoTherapy]

*Whisperwhispershutwhisperupwhisper.*

[Uncle Festy]

Never! I will not be si –

[Phase]

Yeah, the update might take a bit longer than expected, the school year's been starting to grow more annoying and Spore eats up a lot of my free time, but Dragon is definatly going to update before October, or I'll have to say I was lying and that you all fell for it!

[Oregano]

And then I'll destroy you by...hmm.. launching a nuke at you and you'll be all like "oh noes I'm destroyed and out of orbit!" and then we'll die anyway without you.

Anyway, take your time, I know how annoying school/college can be and how time consuming brilliant games can be.

[Thufir]

Yeah, the update might take a bit longer than expected, the school year's been starting to grow more annoying and Spore eats up a lot of my free time, but Dragon is definatly going to update before October, or I'll have to say I was lying and that you all fell for it!

Ah, you see, I avoid that fate by cleverly not actually posting in the thread!

...

Damn.

[Oregano]

Phase, you have a day before I aim my uber-moogle death ray at the moon and end you.

It's a pity, I was looking forward to a lot of this webcomic but now you have restricted computer access as well.:smallfrown:

[Phase]

Yeah, it seems my promise was in vain. I plan on spending the time I do have over the next month to work on the comic, but recently Spore and school have been overwhelming me...

Time to go! See you all in a day or two...

[Doran_Liadon]

Are we gunna have a new comic soon? Please?

[Oregano]

We'll most likely get a new comic as soon as Phase as internet connection, which from what I gather is hard to determine, so we may be waiting a while.

[sheepofoblivion]

posts a small post, just in case he says something stupid, like the a--...:smallannoyed:

[Phase]

The most recent comic's almost done. I'm just having a little writer's block at the moment. This strip contains the second longest planned joke, after a Monty Python-esque, original skit that wont show up for a while. I should be done with this one soon, however. I should be less occupied once I reach the center of the galaxy, however...

[Doopliss]

Say hi to Steve for me.:smallwink:

[Uncle Festy]

Oh yes. That one.
*chuckles at the memory*

[Phase]

Say hi to Steve for me.:smallwink:

Will do! :smallwink:

Anyway, the comic should either be up by wednesday, or friday...

Yeah... I hope...

[Lerky]

oh thanks the gods! I thought this webcomic was dead. It had so much potential. Glad to see you working on it again:smalltongue:

[TheCountAlucard]

Yay! This is better than that time that Roy and Hinjo took levels in Monk!

[Shas aia Toriia]

Monk?

Also. . .

SHAS DEMANDS NEW KOMIK! RAWR!!!!



That will be all.

[sheepofoblivion]

wait.... monk?!

[Lerky]

I don't wanna be left out...

That was great! :smallbiggrin::smallbiggrin::smallbiggrin:

[Shas aia Toriia]

'Twas. But I must ask; why was his sword a giant fish? :smallconfused: :smallbiggrin:

Also, did anybody notice that the wise old man and the fish-sword dude were wearing reversed colours?

[Oregano]

Great comic, and you will be glad to know that your comic offering has spared you once more...for now.

Keep up the good work.:smallbiggrin:

[memnarch]

Sweet, update!

[TheCountAlucard]

Excellent!


...That's all.

[Beholder1995]

Utter awesomeness. :smallbiggrin:

[Doopliss]

Woo, new comic! Love the reaction at the end.
*resists urge not to say "swordfish"*

[sheepofoblivion]

and so, sheep turns around from going to phase's house, pocketing his ninja gear and garb.

And so you live to make another comic phase. Well played.:smalltongue:

[The Gremlin]

Incredible. This comic oozed coolness out of the spoiler. :smallbiggrin:

[Lex-Kat]

I got a question?

What happened to the other six children?

BTW, cool comic. :smallsmile:

[Phase]

They're all off screen, or, at least five are, the sixth faked a heart attack and was able to escape.

Thanks!

[XenoTherapy]

ZOMG! It's phase, the moon kitteh of pure wiiiiiiin!

:glomp:

[sheepofoblivion]

...ummm... glad to see we're staying on topic then...

*awkwardly shuffles offscreen*

[Green-Shirt Q]

Um, perhaps somebody can show me the brand new shiny update? I can seem to find it. The archives end at page 24, and I can't seem to find where page 25 is posted.

Is it posted? Everybody seems to be talking about the new comic, but I can't see it.

[Belkarsbadside1]

Um, perhaps somebody can show me the brand new shiny update? I can see to find it. The archives end at page 24, and I can't seem to find where page 25 is posted.

Yeah same here


Edit: still?!

[sheepofoblivion]

I think people are refering to comic 24....

[Phase]

I think they are too...

Sorry about the hold up. I've hit a bit of writers block. I'll try to break it.

[memnarch]

*hands Phase C-4*

We'll be waiting!

[sheepofoblivion]

no, now you gave him special forces block ha ha --ah god, no, I didn't mean it, you don't need to throw stuff at me. AGHHgh...

I am sooo sorry.

((In many cases, C4 will come in blocks... and any of those who have played battlefield 2 will know that the special forces class has C4))

yeah.... I know what C4 is...

[memnarch]

Actually, I thinking along the lines of this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C4_explosive#Advantages).

@\/; :biggrin:

[Uncle Festy]

*pulls out the blockbuster (http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=87977)*

[Phase]

Again, people, I'm sorry about the delay. I have a long weekend so I might be able to get it out soon.

[Beholder1995]

Again, people, I'm sorry about the delay. I have a long weekend so I might be able to get it out soon.

How long do these things usually take you, anywho?... that is, assuming it's unninterrupted.

[Phase]

How long do these things usually take you, anywho?... that is, assuming it's unninterrupted.

Don't know. Maybe two to three hours.

[Oregano]

Don't know. Maybe two to three hours.

*Throws a shoe at phase*
Damn I couldn't break the atmosphere!

I can't wait for the next strip.

[TheCountAlucard]

Sorry I haven't dropped in for so long, Phase... how're things?

[Phase]

New Comic on saturday night. I have to leave my computer soon.

[Oregano]

New Comic on saturday night. I have to leave my computer soon.

Yay; does your Saturday night mean Sunday morning to me?:smallfrown:

[Phase]

I don't know, does it?

[memnarch]

Wonder what the guy has to say to that, given that he can't understand him. :smalltongue:

[Beholder1995]

Heh. That was great. :smallbiggrin:

But... how can they be brothers if one is human(?) and the other is an orc(?)?

[T-O-E]

Heh. That was great. :smallbiggrin:

But... how can they be brothers if one is human(?) and the other is an orc(?)?

Half-brothers and the other's a 1/2 orc? Or maybe he's cursed?

[Phase]

Yes. They have the same mother, different fathers. Not that it really is important to the story or anything.

[Uncle Festy]

Heh.
Sweet. :smallamused:

[Doopliss]

Great to see Jerry back. You really do a great job with this comic. :smallbiggrin:

[someonenonotyou]

hehe no sacrafice is to great for a good joke

[Lerky]

YEAH! THE COMIC CONTINUES IT'S GRAND LIFE! LONG LIVE THE COMIC :biggrin:

Jeffrey is funny:smalltongue:

[Phase]

Oh, wow, sorry guys. The strip is on Hiatus for a bit until I have more free time. Sorry.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Oh, wow, sorry guys. The strip is on Hiatus for a bit until I have more free time. Sorry.

Dang :smallfrown:

[Oregano]

Oh, wow, sorry guys. The strip is on Hiatus for a bit until I have more free time. Sorry.

Do you mind if we draw our own fan/guest comics? they wouldn't be canon of course.:smallwink:

[Uncle Festy]

Hah! How do you like it now, Mr. I can support a set update and you can't! :smallamused:

… but really, I'm sad to see this peter out. Wish I had enough time to write a guest strip.

[Lerky]

I'd write a fan comic. But I have no ideas...I hardly have any ideas for my own webcomic:smalltongue:

[Phase]

Do you mind if we draw our own fan/guest comics? they wouldn't be canon of course.:smallwink:

I you do that, I would quite literally reach through the internet and give you a cookie. Anyone is welcome.

@Festy: You'll pay for that, don't look behind you.

[Wreckingrocc]

@Festy: You'll pay for that, don't look behind you.That line would have been so more epic if you'd edited a comic onto the last post.

I'm not saying that just to spite you; I mean it would have been a well placed line.

[Uncle Festy]

No, trust me, that did exactly what Phase wanted it to do.
Get me freaked out… :smalleek:

[Phase]

The time that I need to make te next comic wont really be available to me until the 22nd. At that point it's witer break for me and I would have trouble finding anything else to do.

[Lerky]

yeah new comic soon! ...right?

[CrimsonAngel]

I'm not sure. but major :smallfrown: until the next comic is posted.

[Phase]

Sometime between now and the fifth, I will post an update. I'm aimin' for New Years, ring it in with a smile. :smallwink:

[Morchaint]

I like it.. more needed....soon

[Mina Kobold]

COMIC! SOON! please.

[sheepofoblivion]

Sometime between now and the fifth, I will post an update. I'm aimin' for New Years, ring it in with a smile. :smallwink:

ermm...bump!

V:.... what'choo talkin' 'bout willis?

[Phase]

What the? What's this thread doing here?

[CrimsonAngel]

COMIC!!!!! :smallfrown::smallmad:

[Uncle Festy]

Phase, if you don't make a comic, I shall send my army of flying monkeys to harass you and steal your copy of L4D.
So make the comic, or else face the consequences.
Muahaha.

[Mina Kobold]

YAY!Phase is back, can I get an Autograph?:smallbiggrin:

Crimson Angel look like a girl... BWAHAHA(laughs about how my character would look)

[Phase]

'Kay guys, I'll be honest...

The delay is thanks to my own laziness, nothing more, nothing less.

I'll try to be more... better...

[Doopliss]

Take your time. There's no sense in writing something like this if doing so is drudgery.

[Bloodrage]

Nice comic. I'll keep an eye on this :smalltongue:

[The Gremlin]

Nice comic. I'll keep an eye on this :smalltongue:

Your eye will not do much. Nothing's happened in this comic for ages.

[Traker]

I like the comic. But could we have a nother

[Legoleg]

Sad as I am to say it, I feel like this is dead.v:smalleek: :smallfrown:

PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG!!!! :smallsmile:

[Tensu]

Hmmm... while little new ground is broken, I am nonetheless intrigued and would love to see more.

my only criticism has to do with the body Jerry has unwittingly stolen. The Chest extends out to far forward, and the tail is to small and short. this makes Jerry look unnatural, because such a creature in real life would be too front-heavy and keep falling on its face. I assume the long torso was so the wings would not overlap the body, but this makes the wings look too small to provide flight, as well as giving them more meat they'd have to lift, and I'll bet that chest will only look even uglier once Jerry takes flight for the first time.

If I where you, I'd shorten Jerry's chest, and make his tail and wings bigger letting his wings obscure a portion of his chest.

but that's just me.

[Legoleg]

Man...I guess its dead...
COME BACK, PHASE!:smallfrown:

[Phase]

Actually, not dead. I was working earlier in the week, but a forced hiatus from things like gaming and art is forthcoming. Expect nothing for at least a month. Sorry, schoolwork.

[Doopliss]

Woohoo, there's still hope! I'll wait. :smallsmile:

[Eldrys]

This is a really cool comic with good OoTS art. But what happened to the kid in the box:smalleek:

[Phase]

This is a really cool comic with good OoTS art. But what happened to the kid in the box:smalleek:

Still in the box. Sorry for the dead-irific delays. Don't expect anything until Summer, things are getting busy on my end.

[Lerky]

Still in the box. Sorry for the dead-irific delays. Don't expect anything until Summer, things are getting busy on my end.

YEAH! The summers almost here:smallbiggrin:

[Kelper]

It is summer. Where is my well-deserved update?:smallfurious:

[Cizak]

WOW! Now this is an awesome comic! Well done! Very well done! I'll keep my eyes on this, oh yes I will.

[The Gremlin]

WOW! Now this is an awesome comic! Well done! Very well done! I'll keep my eyes on this, oh yes I will.

Look above you. It's late in its late update.

[Winterhorn]

I'm guessing it's dead?

Can someone ressurect this comic? It was getting good!
