Pirate Balloon · 10-08-2005, 12:14 PM

haha pretty repetitive, and they walk like ZOMBIES

Cursio · 10-08-2005, 12:50 PM

Repetitive? What do you mean? In what way does this comic repeat itself? And yeah, they walk like zombies, its hard to make them move differently.

Lmac · 10-08-2005, 01:00 PM

If you want my opinion, if it's going to be a cartoon, then there's really no need for the use of the whole image. You should crop them down so that
a) they're smaller
b) they only show what needs to be shown

Oh and you might want to run a spell checker.

that way they might all load up and not take a year for the page to load.

Cursio · 10-08-2005, 01:10 PM

a) The size is 650x488, and it takes no more than ca 40 kb pr picture, isnt that small enough?
b) I take every screenshot so that the amazing HL2 physics engine and dynamic lightning system comes to place. You cannot do that with a cropped image with half of Ronnys head.

Spelling check? Yeah, I know, but i am from Norway, is that an excuse? :P No spelling checks in PS btw.

The images is on my server located in Norway, so if you are from Australia or something it will take some time for the images to show up.

Shawn McGravy · 10-08-2005, 03:11 PM

Red Scorpion · 10-08-2005, 03:53 PM

Hey, dont steal my tread!

Slade · 10-09-2005, 12:14 AM

When you can accept criticism, maybe.

He wasn't stealing your "TREAD", he was suggesting something different.

Melrose Let Down · 10-09-2005, 05:01 AM

I thought it was cool. Not super funny or anything, but I was entertained. Nice work.

Thanks man! Needed that!

Deano · 10-09-2005, 11:19 AM

I think you aren't visually composing your comics well enough. You use 3 or 4 frames for the one action, where as it could be much more effective by just planning out just one really effective shot that says a lot about the moment.

Kale Monster · 10-09-2005, 11:57 AM

These are awful and your spelling is appalling.

Thanks for the tip man, that will save me some work!

That's the way to critizise someones project!

Evil Ash · 10-09-2005, 10:26 PM

I actually enjoyed it. Though there was a bit too much dialogue. It felt like they were explaining everything too much, except near the end it started to get better.

Wildfire · 10-10-2005, 03:23 PM

You position the camera badly. When I get a PC that doesn't suck balls I might make some cool comix.

Cursio · 10-10-2005, 10:07 PM

Do you think so? I was quite satisfied with the way the camera angles turned out. But if you dont think so, thats ok.

Scatterbrain · 10-10-2005, 11:21 PM

These were great, in my opinion.

Bobby Swisha · 10-10-2005, 11:56 PM

Those were fun. They were a lot like watching a 3dmm movie.

If you make some, let me know, I would love to see em.

Rabid Dinosaur · 10-11-2005, 12:00 AM

I liked them!

P.S. You guys are cool for jumping on a Norwegian kid for his spelling, which isn't even that bad. Cocks.
