Thinking (once again!) of starting a webcomic...

[Radium]

Okay, for a while I've been considering starting a webcomic (I remembered this when Acid's thread made me have to count how many comics I'd almost started). I have two ideas, both of which I plan to do eventually, but not at once. So, I want to know which I should do <I>first</I>.


http://www.foxmage.com/BPinglag.png
Pinglag the Pirate: Pinglag is a normal (ex)pirate, searching for treasure and stuff on the high seas. The only problem is that he's being hunted by the most powerful army in the world, wanted for killing the king, stealing a treasure map, and robbing a clothing store, all of which are punishable by death. Comic features action, adventure, romance, and a nine year old death mage.



http://www.foxmage.com/BCornflake.png
Cornflake01: Carl is actually pretty stupid for a pilot/conceptual physicist. But when he gets a spaceship's crew launched into another galaxy while on a mission to the sun, it's up to him and his friend Zen to get them back to earth safely. Features lots of fighting robots and spaceships, and occasionally is a sort of parody of DBZ, Star Wars, or Voyager.


They both wear bandanas, they both captain ships, but only one will become victorious. So... go ahead and vote.

[Hare]

Vote for pinglag he's a cute fuzzy wuzzums. :P

[Radium]

Both Pinglag and Cornflake will have both human and animal characters <s>(take that, you biased furfans)</s>.

Vote for pinglag he's a cute fuzzy wuzzums. :P
Vote Carl because he's easier to draw.

[Fawriel]

Awww, hard decision...
I like the first. YAY, NINE YEAR OLD DEATH MAGE!
"I swing stick and things go poof. *swing-BAM*"

But.... DBZ parodies..... preciousssssss...

[acid]

Ehh, who wouldn't vote for the 9-year old death mage? =P

[Fawriel]

Pinglag has a weird head and black pixels all over his face.

[Radium]

The 9-year-old seems to be misbalancing the vote. Even though I like PLTP's plot more, I actually like CF's characters more. Seriously, his gunner is named Chainsaw Maniac Bob.

[Fawriel]

Tell more about the plots!

[Radium]

They both follow rather helpless people trying to make a comeback, and doing it in a humerously wrong way. Pinglag is the only survivor of a shipwreck, and is thrown in prison for stealing a pair of pants. While escaping, he accidentally steals a treasure map and kills the king, making him the world's most wanted criminal. Luckily, he manages to put together a crew and get a ship, even if it's not a very "conventional" crew. Carl is an airline pilot (with a degree in conceptual physics) who is fired after climbing out onto a windshield of a moving plane to get the doughnut he dropped out his window. He decides to get back at his boss by becoming the first man to land on the sun. After getting funding for his voyage, he comes into possession of a ship called the "Cornflake01", only to get it lost in another galaxy.

If I told any more it would ruin them =P

[Batty Buddy]

Que Passa!!!!

I'm actually undecided. Pirates and Space storys are equally cool in my opinion...(The only difference sometimes is technology.)

I guess I'll have to get back to you on this one.

[Radium]

Why still not votes for CF01? Naturally, I have to campaign for the one that's losing...

[acid]

his gunner is named Chainsaw Maniac Bob.

OMG WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO BEFORE?!? UNVOTE UNVOTE :(:(:(

Carl is an airline pilot (with a degree in conceptual physics) who is fired after climbing out onto a windshield of a moving plane to get the doughnut he dropped out his window.

DONUT ^_^

[Xion]

Neither of them sound interesting.


Why not make...a comic like PVP? :lol:

[Radium]

Why not make...a comic like PVP? :lol:

It would be too much like PVP :p. Anyways, I met the guy that writes that. He's pretty scary.

[Xion]

...wow.


Anyways, I got an LJ code if you want to use LJ to post your comic.

[Radium]

Anyways, I got an LJ code if you want to use LJ to post your comic.
My unused webspace is superior to your LJ.

[Xion]

oohh-kkaayy..

You'll finally do something with Foxmage.com. XD

[Radium]

You'll finally do something with Foxmage.com. XD
Hosting 307 images is hardly "not doing something."

... did I word that right?

[Xion]

Hosting 307 images is hardly "not doing something."

... did I word that right?
I'm not talking about foxmage.com as a whole, I'm talking about the page that comes up when you type in http://www.foxmage.com/

[Radium]

I'm not talking about foxmage.com as a whole, I'm talking about the page that comes up when you type in http://www.foxmage.com/
I fixed it.

Derby: Personal attack removal.
Radium: You did that just to be mean.

[acid]

Omg Radifoo You Stole My Topic >(((((

[Fawriel]

Okay, I vote for the Pinglag. I don't like science-fiction, it's overused. XP

Do I have to mention both the skeleton and its gun look weird? =b

[Radium]

Do I have to mention both the skeleton and its gun look weird? =b
And the gun says "glue" across it.

[Fawriel]

That doesn't justify that it's 2D.

[acid]

You know, Radium, I think you should just go with the comic you want to draw. It's your comic, anyways. If you want to do Cornflake01, then do it. <s>Even though it's getting swamped 11/1.</s> If you want to do Pinglag the pirate, than do it. It's really more your coice than ours.

[Radium]

Since when do I have my own personal opinions?

[Fawriel]

Yes, acid, since when does he have own personal opinions?

[Radium]

It's not that I "wanted" to draw Cornflake, it's just that the characters are easier to draw. But who knows, Pinglag could be good practice =P.

[acid]

...

Meh, I was just trying to help...

[Xion]

Pinglag could be good practice

*cough*Anthro*Cough*

You need practice in anthro, IMHO.

[Xion]

You would know...
Don't make me post the screenshot of what you said =P.
They already know I like "One kind of anime" so this would come as no shock.

Know what, I'll tell them what the shot says.

"YIFF RULES."


There. I said it.

<font size="10">HAPPY?</font>

[Xion]

But in this font:

Hehe. Mez(a) does odd things to people.
First it's QoB...Now it's Meza.

If you honestly say "DW does strange things to people" I will kill you.

[Xion]

You didn't say "Mez(a)" before. You just said "QoB".

PWNED...


And I go to bed now.

[Radium]

Xion, why did you just make up quotes from me and talk to yourself for four posts?

[acid]

I don't think Radium needs practice drawing (cheese). I mean, if you look at the message at the entrance to this forum:

"Please keep the art clean"

I don't think (cheese) fits under clean artwork.

[Fawriel]

Cheese! ^__^

[Radium]

Cheese! ^__^
This post would've been much less disturbing had that mouth been one underscore wide.

[Fawriel]

I do what I can.

[Radium]

Radium: I like cheese.
Xion: I like (cheese).

Amazing what difference two puncuation marks can make in a sentence.

And Faw, your PM inbox is full.

[Radium]

I don't think Radium needs practice drawing (cheese).
<s>Exactly, haven't you been to the "Blackraptor and Sal made me draw it" thread? I'm perfectly fine at it already.</s>

(THAT WAS A JOKE)

[Fawriel]

Isn't almost everything you say a joke?

Pageclaim in the name of... uhm... Pinglag. =3

[Radium]

A matter of opinion.

[Xion]

Isn't almost everything you say a joke?

Pageclaim in the name of... uhm... Pinglag. =3
Faw: They're wanna-be jokes, not jokes.

[the WINNER]

I voted PINGLAG THE PIRATE because it included the words PING and LAG ;p

[Tik]

I voted Pinglag because the whole space thing is way, way, way overused. Pirates rocks anyway.

Pinglag is kind of a strange name for a pirate, though. But whatever, it's all good. You must include lots of hidden Jazz2 jokes and innuendos in your work, nevertheless.

[Blackraptor]

o.

I vote pinglag because I think Radium will make his crew be a bunch of homicidal maniacs/ballet dancers. Plus pirates are more interesting.

[Spotinik]

I'd vote for Pinglag mainly due to the fact Sci-Fi related things are a lot nowadays o_o (Not that I dislike Sci-Fi, I don't dislike it.=P) and I vote Pinglag also cos he's a fox=P;;, and cos the pirate-ish theme for him sounds cool ^^

[Radium]

That pretty much applies to anything I make. Heh, you should see some of my old RPGM2k games...

> You have won the combat! You find 15 Osama Turbans.

> Bob the T-shirt has joined your party!

You should make some RM2k3 stuff...:D

PM me for more information on getting it.

Have it. I said my <i>old</i> RPGm2k games, and by old I mean before 2003.

I'll do you one better...

"I only pirate music from the RIAA."

[Radium]

"I only pirate music from the RIAA."
Yes, but the Japanese don't care, that's the difference =P.

[the WINNER]

START THE WEBCOMIC ;-p

[Xion]

Yes, but the Japanese don't care, that's the difference =P.
That's why it's one better.

[Radium]

I borrowed some names from administrators. I hope they don't care.

[Coppertop]

I hope they don't either. Which ones? :D

[Radium]

I hope they don't either. Which ones? :D
Dark Lord Quist and Admiral Trafton... I'm not really against either of them, I just think their names pwn.

I have a link to the comic. It's stratigically(sp) hidden.

[Coppertop]

Strategically. Yes.

(HA! I correct Radium!)

[Fawriel]

Aww, CT, <b>I</b> wanted to do that! :D

[Xion]

404 page not found.

[Radium]

.. what did you have to type in?
It works fine for me.

[Tik]

You need to add in the 'www' in order to make it work.

'Look, Trafton - a link! Click it or I'll have you executed'

Absolutely gold.

[Radium]

Ah, now I see. Thanks and thanks 'Tick.

[Fawriel]

Rad, it sure is really hard to hate you if you keep being so darn funny.

*copies to the Holy section*

[acid]

'sexaytitle'?

I think you've been hanging around the blackraptor and sal made me do it thread too much.

[Radium]

'sexaytitle'?

I think you've been hanging around the blackraptor and sal made me do it thread too much.

But <i>nobody</i> checks filenames! Do they?

And it had a capital S. It won't link to the image if I used use a lowercase S.

[Spotinik]

Heh, I just checked the pages of the comic. And all of them are neato..espically page 2. (gotta love that trick question part X3)and the experissions are good aswell.keep the work on the comic.
and..
O_O -notices the file name of the pic of the comic- 0o..ok.. I am not saying anything about that.

[Radium]

O_O -notices the file name of the pic of the comic- 0o..ok.. I am not saying anything about that.
Heh... thanks...

Actually, that pic was an older one from before I started using cel-shading. I thought that one looked neater than the large banner on the first page of this thread, so I renamed it "sexaytitle" and put it on the page. Actually, I'm hoping to redo that whole page soon. It's like a... pokey the penguin style layout.

And Dal, your comics were a bit of an inspiration. They're quite well drawn, you know (better than mine, anyway).

Acck! Grammar error and compliment! Darn this broken air conditioner! The heat's affecting my miiiiindddd!

Derby: Content clearance.

[Fawriel]

If that's so...

Bad news, Raddy! :D (http://www.globalchange.org/gccd/gcc-digest/1991/d91may9.htm)

[Spotinik]

Oh, I see..(about that sexaytitle filename thing)

o_o my comics were a bit of an inspiration? Glad to hear that. Thanks Rad ^^'

and about the grammar errors, I think it's the computer that's affecting your mind. probably the heat aswell.o_o

EDIT: Ack, I meant comics, not comments! X(

Mmm. Fried people. Would you like fries with that?

@Dal: The word "Comics" changed to "Comments" while crossing the quote border. Not really important, but certainly an interesting note.

Noticed that. and I edited the post..it's about 3:47 AM here and I am not awake x_x or..I think the monitor is eating my mind. 0_0

Must be higher radiation than my monitor. Or it could be that it's about 8:48 here.

[Fawriel]

2:57 am here, and I'm still awake enough to correct Rad, MUAHAaaaa..-zzzz......... eh... HAH...ah, whatever.. *yawn*

[Spotinik]

it's a Flatron776 FM monitor. is that bad? if yes, then yay? o_o

2:57 am, Faw? o.o guess this is the only time I noticed you being up late till this..4:00 AM now here.o_o

[acid]

Poor Trafton, he's being abused and we never really see him =(

[Blackraptor]

But don't you see? Trafton is everywhere

If you make a webcomic, Don't make fanfilms in it. Look at this.

@Faw: "OZONE DESTRUCTION WORSENS" Wouldn't that be good? If the destruction is worsening, wouldn't the destruction be less damaging?
