ABR Discussion Thread XXX - No Sexual Title for You!

[X2]

Welcome to the 30th ABR Discussion Thread!

Because we used to burn through new ABR threads so quickly, we created the Discussion thread. All banter goes here, and all comics and non-canon kills go in the main thread. (see line below)

Avatar Battle Royale: Avatarmageddon (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=7000298) is the current thread. Post artwork there.

The ABR backup thread (http://z15.invisionfree.com/Remember/index.php?showtopic=161), is used in the event of Giantitp becoming untenable due to server issues or otherwise.

I did some more art, and I want your opinions. Then I want your advice on an issue I have

http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w27/bloddyredcommie/DSF.png

Here's the thing. The Protagonist (From the Domestic Security Forces side) is the guy in the top right, and I like the character design I made for him, he's fairly straight laced and professional, Lawful Neutral to the core if you want to throw around DnD terms. The only problem is (And this is a problem anytime you are designing a character in uniform) he looks too generic. He's a DSF officer, but there is almost nothing to differentiate him from any generic background DSF officers I have lying around. I could make them all bald, which would be easy, but even then all that differentiates him is his hair, which due to the hat, you can barely see.

Also, the top three characters are all named, while the bottom are generic designs. The guy in the middle top is usually wearing the same uniform as the guy top-right, but I wanted to show off the coat they wear when it's cold/rainy outside.

So yeah, any comments on the designs? Or advice for my dillema.

Actually, typically a man lasts between 5 and 10 minutes if all they're doing is the act. But if they do other things as well it lasts longer, yes.

But the conversation is inappropriate.

You want to make him more recognizable? Give him a pompom hat (comes with his rank). Or long sleeves (different uniform style). Or an eye patch (very easily noticed). Or a scar on the face (same deal).

[BRC]

You want to make him more recognizable? Give him a pompom hat (comes with his rank). Or long sleeves (different uniform style). Or an eye patch (very easily noticed). Or a scar on the face (same deal).

The problem is distinguishing him from other people of his same rank. Also, it would be nice to have something distinguishing about him when he's out of uniform. And considering his personality, he's unlikely to alter his uniform, even in ways nobody would care about.

Ooh, I like the idea of an Eyepatch or scar. He could get it in the first "Chapter" as it were.
Any general comments on the artwork, or other suggestions for making him more distinguishable.

[memnarch]

Artwork seems like your usual style, except that it's way more detailed. (going off of what I remember of Rob&Jack) Not sure if that's a good thing or not because while they contribute to the "wow, a lot of work was put in to this", it can be a bit visually "messy" in my opinion.

Soooooooo.....is my comic canon? :smallconfused:

This is pretty much up to you to decide if I made your characters act too out of character in it, or if you'll let this comic be canon because of the Rule Of Funny.

[X2]

I think that might be pushing it a tad Q. The rule of funny is not invincible.

But the rule of funny which allows the most badass Evoker to wear roller skates, possibly until the end of the plot? Acceptable :smalltongue:

Darklord Bright has the final say on that. They are his characters and for that might not be as big a leap as we might think. I dunno.

Quite possibly. Rebooted Q, at least. He's very different from regular Q.

Rebooted Q is a pacifist and quite possibly a ladies man, unlike his violent and dateless predessesor. I think I'd add quite a few more flaws on him to balence it out, though. You'll see. :smalltongue:

Q walked up to them and made a very bad pickup line. As far as I've concerned, he hasn't changed.

Hey, everybody, I'm working on a new backstory comic! Exile didn't work out, even though it totally had an awesome story (it would have, honest! :smalltongue:), so this one will explain the origins...of Henny, my constant unchanging avatar, also known as The Gremlin for unknown reasons.:smallbiggrin:

It's going to be set in Runescape, and I have reasons for that:

1. I have actually wanted to do a Runescape comic for quite some time. However, I never really had the time to do a bunch of comics. I already don't make comics in ABR. However, merging the backstory comic with this would work great. It gives me lots of new ideas, too. :smallbiggrin:

2. Actually, the first one pretty much covers it. I'll just repeat myself: I have actually wanted to do a Runescape comic for quite some time.

:smallwink:

It will use bad-style artwork, and MS Paint (again, no choice about it).

Thoughts? As long as I don't hear anybody saying 'Runescape sucks', critique for the idea is welcome.

Sounds interesting, though I'll advice you to stay from using too much of the game's backstory, even with really popular games it's often lost on the readers who didn't do exactly that sidequest that reveal it, and Runescape, while not bad is a game few seem to have interest in and even fewer may know the relevant history. Again not saying it's a bad game, it was pretty fun when I played it. :smallsmile:

The idea is that everything relevant to the comic will be explained, possibly by use of the narrator. That way, there will be little confusion.

Never said it was canon, I just think it's really funny.

Totally out of character for both of them, though.

[Bayar]

Very, VERY probably NON-canon FFFR. :tongue:

http://i50.tinypic.com/ndwkdf.png

Not funny. Not even remotely.

1. This is offensive to women. I as a man am offended by it. It is sexist and degrading to consider women pieces of meat that will just randomly sleep with any creep that proposes to them.

2. 7 minutes to satisfy 2 women ? One of which is supposedly a Kamina clone ? You are clearly giving yourself TOO MUCH credit. Oh, and in that time it is included the walk to a room with a bed, the taking off the clothes time...

When Garl Glittergold collapsed Darastrixhurthi (the magnificent kobold mine, a fortress fit dor dragons and rivaled by none) and killed all but one kobold in the process, he justified his act of genocide as a joke.

Did it make it anything else than genocide ? No it didnt.




Same here. Even if Q obviously intended that work of "art" to be a joke, did it make it even remotely less offensive ?

Please tell me, as a human being with a positive IQ.

[The Gremlin]

No I'm not.

Bayar, the seven minutes thing could be interpreted as a joke or the result of an inexperienced person.

As for offensiveness, I don't think that's how it was intended. But if you interpreted it as such, and it offended you, you do have that right. Which is why we should use my solution:

That was Q's daydream. Somebody will cast read mind and Q will be sufficiently beaten up. :smallbiggrin:

Q gets mocked and bruised and I get the pie while people watch the smackdown. Everybody wins.

/\ The Gnome Propaganda would like to have a word with you. Garl Glittergold collapsed something that would have harmed all the other gods, and anyways, it was an accident, and besides which there were no kobolds but Kurtlemak inside. *Cough*

*Kobold Propaganda beats up liar gnomes*

...nah, I still like Pathfinder gnomes more.

Did you miss the white text?

[Green-Shirt Q]

Did you miss the white text?

No. I was just covering my own ass. I didn't know if anybody else might've missed it, and when it comes to linking porn websites there is no joking around about it. :smalleek:

[Keris]

His complaint is that it is sexist towards women. Why would a woman be regarded as sexist towards herself?
First thing, I was arguing that a woman can make something that is sexist against women. Not that such a woman would be "sexist against herself". In any case, a woman who believed that men were inherently superior to women would be sexist against women. And would be regarded as such if she publicised her views.
If something is sexist, I don't see how it could suddenly stop being sexist just because you found out the gender of the author. It would still be just as sexist as before.


It's not offensive at all!
It evidently is, Bayar was offended by it.

[Green-Shirt Q]

It evidently is, Bayar was offended by it.

Exactly. NOBODY was offended by it. :smalltongue:

But seriously, Bayar, if you're offended by that, take it up with my character, Q. He's VERY different from Quin Azevedo, who takes no responisbility for disrespecting women. I swear, I have never done that in real life. Not even once. Even when I saw chicks walking down the street in short shorts, thongs, and loose shirts that showed off their tits while they gigled and talked about how many guys they've slept with and their latest manicure, I've always thought to myself "I'm sure they're just as intelligent as any man is and no less worthy of respect". Seriously. I don't even think sex exists!

[T-O-E]

Not funny. Not even remotely.

1. This is offensive to women. I as a man am offended by it. It is sexist and degrading to consider women pieces of meat that will just randomly sleep with any creep that proposes to them.

2. 7 minutes to satisfy 2 women ? One of which is supposedly a Kamina clone ? You are clearly giving yourself TOO MUCH credit. Oh, and in that time it is included the walk to a room with a bed, the taking off the clothes time...

I find your insinuation that women need you to protect them sexist.

[Calamity]

This is getting us nowhere. Let the people who find Q's comic funny think it was funny, and let the people who didn't think it wasn't. :smallsigh:

Seriously. I don't even think sex exists!

Q, I think Bayar is offended by the way it worked out. How the two characters ended up sleeping with Q. Non canon or not, it's still sexist and offensive.

I have changed my mind, then. Because I can think of no reason why it isn't sexist. I think the internet has somehow desensitized me. Q, could you please issue an apology?

The irony is not lost on me that Bayar and I, who are both male, are arguing that it's sexist against women, and DLB, who you can see from her symbol is female (:smalltongue:), liked it.

EDIT: Hmm, just noticed that DLB changed his symbol. Oops. In my defense, I actually didn't know about DLB's female symbol until he pointed it out in his video, and thus didn't notice when he changed it. :smallredface:

I'm giving honest critique here. The game has a lot of glitched and has changed for the worst. For example, the drow race used to be a reward for playing well, a race that was hard to unlock. A status symbol. Now, it's a reward for giving the video game people shiny green paper. They haven't even made the drow less powerful, either. :smallannoyed:

Well thank you for telling me but I've already got it. My friend plays it and bought me a completely separate disc so that I can play with him. The fact that it's free is the only real reason he plays it.

I think you're addicted to self superiority. But I have you beat: I DID read the rules this time. It never says that there is no time limit, that things from five thousand years ago are still considered 'real world events' that need to be banned. When one looks at something banning mention of politics, he generally assumes that this rule is out to prevent flame wars.

I actually requested that this be made clear, but the mod I spoke too informed me that it 'goes without saying'. Well, I didn't get it, and I doubt many would. If I am wrong and everybody else understands it, please inform me of such, because right now, it seems that you are just trying to toot your own horn and tell me that you are a responsible citizen who always reads the rules.

A blanket ban on all discussion of real-world politics ("no matter what) would, in my eyes, certainly include historical politics. And of course, you had strayed into discussing far more recent politics.

Guys, I have a little announcement to make. Or, should I say, Mad Mask! Since I have already proven that he is the only one who reads my posts and he just tells everybody else if the posts are of not so that everybody can gang up on me and make me lose the argument miserably.

Aliens: Keep thinking that, Gremlin.

Um, anyways, I am planning on leaving ABR. I don't really enjoy the Discussion thread anymore, since I feel that I am not bringing much to the table. I have gotten numerous hints that I am not that welcome here, as well. On top of that, I don't have time for drawing the comics, and they just end up looking lousy, anyways, especially now that I don't have Inkscape.

I will continue to watch these threads, of course. I harbor no ill feeling towards anybody here, not even DLB (:smalltongue:). But I just can't do this. I'm tired of feeling guilty for not making comics, and feeling guilty for not getting off the computer when I do make comics.

I will try to stay an active member of the ABR community, as I am very fond of you guys. I have some goodwill messages to some of you, because I felt the need to make some goodwill messages. Not sure why. It's kind of melodramatic, like I'm dying or something.

Keris: I just thought you should know that me leaving has nothing to do with the argument we were having. So you can stop bragging. :smalltongue:

Didn't it have a segment at the end where there was a war between the elves and the orcs? That was slightly political feeling.

I might be remembering this wrong.
There was a lengthy flashback that took place during a war between the elves and the empire, (an Orc was working for the empire in that flashback), but that was most me just doing an idea that had come to mind than anything.

For Revolution/Rebellion I'm probably going to do distinct "Chapters" that I will plan out ahead of time, hopefully leading to a more coherent story.

[kpenguin]

Will each "Chapter" have a regular length, or will it vary?

Ah! So I'm not remembering that totally wong.

Anyway, good luck with that.

I don't think fantasy world politics really count as politics, in all honesty, so it's probably why nobody's ever had an issue with it.

It's also a clever sidestep!

[kpenguin]

Fantasy world politics don't count as real world politics and are allowable under forum rules. Its when there are direct comparisons between fantasy politics and real world politics that things get diecy.

Talking about how King Midelthorp is a dirty crook and poor monarch is okay. Comparing his reign to <insert unpopular political leader's administration here> isnt.

Ladies and gentlemen of ABR, I have a very important announcement that concerns each and everyone of you. The thing I will talk you about has caused a lot of concern and activity in ABR, but I hope you will understand the reasons I have posted about this.

TJH is REBOOTING!

Indeed, spearheaded by both myself and Xartyve2, The Journey Home is coming back with new, exciting adventurers, menacing villains, and an epic storyline, while turning the Status Quo in over its head.

Right, then. Bye, guys. It was fun while it lasted.

[Mad Mask]

Now now, don't be silly, you didn't inspire us at all! Xartyve2 found out about the idea while watching the new series reboot, what's its name... V?
I jest, I jest. You're really the inspiration for our reboot.
Anyways, who's with us?

[Darklord Bright]

I'm with, obviously. I even made myself a new template specifically for it! :smallbiggrin:

Is anyone making a new comic for FFF:R, by the way? Hmmm... I suppose if Xart's starting a new plot... he won't be in FFF:R?

Aw yeah! This is going to be awesome! Here's a few new features you should look out for.


Fluid plot: No more railroading (promise!)
No more Home Base: Really that was useless
Uber powers accepted: Seriously! Over 9000 is fine!
Teams!: Possibly, we'll leave that up to you guys to decide
New Uber Villain: Holy crap is that guy going to be badass. Trust us!


And get a TJH beer cooler when you sign up!*

Wrong wrong wrongity wrong wrong!

[BRC]

Will each "Chapter" have a regular length, or will it vary?
It will likely vary. Each chapter will be more based around a singular event. It may focus more on one protagonist or another. I don't know, alot of this stuff is still fairly conceptual right now.

For example, I know the first chapter will be based around a specific riot and the actions of the two protagonists during it that establish them as outstanding members of the DSF and the rebel movement respectively. After that I may spend some time filling in the background details, about the nation it takes place in, the government, the reason for the unrest, ect.

The one thing I can't decide is the general tech level. Currently I'm thinking WWI ish, with some steampunk if I feel like it. I dunno. I should probably just make the first comic (Which I've already mostly written). I'll probably just post it here to use you guys as a sample group before I decide if I really want to do the project. If I do, I'm going to try to build up a sizable buffer and do more regular updates, rather than making and posting them as I feel like it.

[kpenguin]

Teams!: Possibly, we'll leave that up to you guys to decide

I am. Once I stop procrastinating.

As for the TJH rebootification...

So is it going to simply be set in an alternate universe but in the same multiverse, like FFF: R?

And are we just going to call it TJH: R? :smalltongue:

[Silverraptor]

I'm in with both TJH and FFF:r. I won't be able to make anything for a few days though.

And for anyone who has Age of Mythology, that's alright. We'll probably do a comp stomp for all of you who are rusty. Heck, I am as well/

[kpenguin]

I also have AoM and... yes, I'm also rusty. I haven't played that game for years.

...

Are we playing with the Titans expansion or would that exclude too many people.

[SinisterPenguin]

I have AoM too. I also haven't played it in years, and even then I rarely played multiplayer. So...yeah.

[Silverraptor]

Titans can play with regular AoM. They just don't have access to Atlantians and titans of their own. Atleast I think...

Just as a quick check, who has titans?:smallconfused:

[kpenguin]

No, they can't. At least... they have seperate games and such.

[Mina Kobold]

Guys, I have a little announcement to make. Or, should I say, Mad Mask! Since I have already proven that he is the only one who reads my posts and he just tells everybody else if the posts are of not so that everybody can gang up on me and make me lose the argument miserably.

Aliens: Keep thinking that, Gremlin.

Um, anyways, I am planning on leaving ABR. I don't really enjoy the Discussion thread anymore, since I feel that I am not bringing much to the table. I have gotten numerous hints that I am not that welcome here, as well. On top of that, I don't have time for drawing the comics, and they just end up looking lousy, anyways, especially now that I don't have Inkscape.

I will continue to watch these threads, of course. I harbor no ill feeling towards anybody here, not even DLB (:smalltongue:). But I just can't do this. I'm tired of feeling guilty for not making comics, and feeling guilty for not getting off the computer when I do make comics.

I will try to stay an active member of the ABR community, as I am very fond of you guys. I have some goodwill messages to some of you, because I felt the need to make some goodwill messages. Not sure why. It's kind of melodramatic, like I'm dying or something.

Keris: I just thought you should know that me leaving has nothing to do with the argument we were having. So you can stop bragging. :smalltongue:

DLB: Again, I am sorry we never got along. I think we are fairly alike (besides the age difference), which may offend you, but which could account for the reason we can't stand each other.

I'm sad you're leaving, really sad, but I guess it's your choice. :smallfrown:

Thanks, I'd never thought I would be called the ultimate optimist. :smallsmile:

I would take on providing for Nilmerg but I frankly (am I using that word right?) don't think I could pull it off. Sorry.


Now on to the other stuff I missed while sleeping

To Messrs Mad Mask and Xartyve2: Reboot TJH certainly sounds an interesting idea, I'd be delighted to join.

To Mister Silverraptor: I am positive I have the expansion by the name "Titans"

My change in pattern of writing is purely of amusing reasons... That means I'm speaking like that for fun :smalltongue:

[chriky]

TJH is REBOOTING!

I can understand rebooting FFF, because that was around for 2 or 3 years and actually finished. But TJH was around for 2 or 3 months at most and it didn't really get far enough to have a proper plot. Thats just my opinion and I think Kp may have summed it up better with just Biters:smalltongue:

Also - Bad MM, some of us are still waiting for the complete set of FI comics before we start making our own ones and your starting a new project.

Also Also - I know this is a bit late but I thought it was funny that in Qs diclaimer, that he posted about 4 times he wrote 'Quin Azevedo means to harm towards them', I'm surprised nobody else picked up on that.

Oh don't worry, I'll finish the important part of the FI intro (the summary of what happened between FFF and FI) before making the TJH one. It won't be long, there aren't many comics left to do.

So once again, the internet on my computer is failing to work, so maybe in a month I will come back with a comic, because I am way too lazy to try to fix my Internet now. :P

I'm still subscribed. I said I'd try to remain active. However, Rand still posts too. He still isn't in ABR anymore.

And RAND got lots of attention when he left! When I left, about three people noticed! :smallsigh:

This is why I grew to hate ABR. I would put a lot of effort into my longer posts. They were deeply sincere. And nobody ever paid attention. People just can't take me seriously, for some reason.

Well, I just made myself sad. So I'll do something sincere.

*Unsubscribes*
Goodbye. To be quite honest, I lied. I never enjoyed ABR. People always had a problem with me. And I will carry grudges. I'm sorry, for what it's worth.

Alrighty, here's my first attempt at TJHR Brain:

http://i659.photobucket.com/albums/uu320/SinisterPenguin/braintjhr.png

So...yep. In this continuity, Brain doesn't have any Psionic or magical powers and is instead a brilliant scientist and gadgeteer extraordinaire. He's also slightly more predisposed towards violence than TJH Brain, relying on his powerful suit and gadgets to fight.

[Mad Mask]

Xartyve2 said TJH:R could be of the same continuity and just TJH some time later. He wasn't especially clear. :smallconfused:

Great template, though. I especially like the pipes that connect the brain to the robot body, it looks more "realistic".

Not a lot, but I do feel a little sad that somebody hates ABR.

You know, not posting isn't the same as not listening. It may be the same as not caring, since I didn't care enough to stop you from leaving. Very few people, if anybody, did. I think it's because you were a whiney little speck complaining about stuff and never posts comics. I know this is a stupid reason, but I care a lot more about people when they post comics. I respect them as an equal and not as a fanboy. If you left back when you made crappy comics on Microsoft Paint, I would probably protest. But you don't anymore and haven't for a while so I just don't care.

I guess this would've made a lot bigger of an impact if I posted this before he left.

Shame on you, ABRites! *waggles finger at everyone who didn't reply*

In other news, I'm rather confused as to exactly what's happening with FI at the moment, but here's an idea for another character:

Name is Dust. He's kind of a vigilante opposing the UNA, as they harmed him/his family/something in the past (I don't know exactly what's going on with the UNA, i.e. are they secretly doing some kind of human experiments or some kind of bad stuff). He basically just tries to stop anything having to do with the UNA, and treats anyone affiliated with them as an enemy. He's seen as kind of a serial killer, having a very distinctive weapon: he uses these blades that hook onto his fingers as essentially "claws" to slice, dice, and eviscerate people. Well...maybe not eviscerate, but it's fun to say :smallwink:. His face is covered in bandages, except for one eye. Assorted pics: (got bored in classes, sketched some designs, vectored them 'cause I screwed up some stuff)

That's because you never left, you can't expect people to notice you leaving if you don't.Rand got more attention for two reasons one because he has been in ABR from the start and is a controversial figure and two because he actually physically left, he went like a month without posting you haven't managed to go 24 hours without posting. I've had days without posting because I haven't had anything to say and I hadn't even left. :smallmad: If you don't post for a week people might realise your serious about leaving.

I give you 48 hours max untill you post in this thread again.

Heres the thing Grem, you engage in arguments, then say nobody here likes you. You say you're quitting, and then stick around to see how people react, and say your going to try to stay active, which means all you're not doing is posting comics, which you don't do anyway.

What you're doing is the equivalent of storming out of the room, then peeking through the window to see how people react. Plus, IIRC, you've done this sort of thing before. It just makes it seem like you want attention, and you get it either by provoking arguments, or by pretending to quit.
I don't know if that's your intent, but it's what I'm getting from you.

I sense a disturbance...

There is no disturbance. Fay is indeed female. :smallsigh:Since a few months ago, I think.

Cant be what? :smallconfused:
Cough medicine.

Sit back Rand, because what I about to impart will shake your world to it's very core.
You see... Fay(t[e])... is a gurrrl!

[kpenguin]

There is no disturbance. Fay is indeed female. :smallsigh:

Female gender, but not yet female sex I believe.

[BRC]

There is no disturbance. Fay is indeed female. :smallsigh:
Lies, thar r no gurlz on teh intarwebz.

But anyway, so besides fixing the sizes of the numbers to compensate for the font's screwyness, anything else? Do people understand what's going on with the faces?

[Ninja Chocobo]

Cyban, what with the wrist blades and all, looks like Barakapool.

But but but they're katars. And katars are totally sweet.

[Green-Shirt Q]

I don't think so...Unless he got a sex change since the last picture I saw of him.

He's a dude, guys.

He's working to get one, but hasn't yet.

e: It's a pretty long process, y'see.

[Fay Graydon]

Look guys... in response to all your talk about my gender...
I have Gender disphoria and I'm in the long process of a sex change
but my personality and thoughts are female.
So to all intensive purposes thaht you should all be conserned about...
I'm female.
If thats not good enough for anyone, I'm sorry.
But although my Physical gender is not that of a womans. It will be in the future.

For simplicities sake I'm going to treat you like I would a woman who was, due to a hilarious misunderstanding, named "Steve" at birth, and was pretending to be male to avoid E-stalking.

That's...kinda hot. :smalleek:

Anyway, good luck, I guess. I can't really relate or anything. I can't imagine being anything other then a dude. Being able to write my name in snow, handle powertools without beng laughed at or being judged based on tit size, and to be honest I can't see any benifit to switching horses in midstream when it comes to gender, but I guess if you're unhappy with how you are now I can understand. Not on a logical, practical viewpoint, but I can't really judge. If you don't feel like a man then I guess you don't have to be one. That makes sense. I can understand this is a serious thing for you, so I can understand that part.

Tell us all when the operation goes through, and I'll make a comic with Q hitting on you. :smalltongue:

It's a LOOOONG Process...

You know many times I've actually been mistaken for a girl....

In response to Fayte:
I feel the exact opposite. I would absolutely LOVE to be a boy, and I'm a girl. But I kind of get your dilema, at least.

Stop rubbing it in! :smallannoyed:

Also, since CoN is looking deader by the minute, I'm not feeling so good about my place in it.
Any comments?

Join another plot? It's a common thing to, particularly if the main plot your in dies.

Aye, everyone knows Fay is a Grass type! :smalltongue:

Which plots are running right now?
FFF reboot, and Future Imperfect...did I miss any?

I wasn't in the original FFF, so I'd feel weird joining the reboot...
What's FI about, exactly?

[kpenguin]

FI is a continuation of the original FFF IN THE FUUUUTUUUUURE...

So, yeah.

There's also TJH Reboot.

[SinisterPenguin]

I wasn't in the original FFF, so I'd feel weird joining the reboot...

I wouldn't worry about that, really. There are a few people who weren't in the original FFF who weren't in the reboot, and lots of people with characters who weren't in the original FFF.

Hell, I was an unimportant D-list character who appeared in, like...8 comics of the original FFF and I still got a part in FFF: R.

[Darklord Bright]

If you do join FFF:R though, don't join the already overpopulated Good and Evil teams.

I think that's cool.

Well, if anyone here, I guess I should be the one to be most able to understand this decision of yours. And I do understand.

As for myself I've settled with the way I am and just "switch genders" whenever I feel like it but not make any permanent changes. (I'm not a persistent person)

What I should change however is my bodyweight... so off to signing up at the next fitness center. :smallbiggrin:

Man earlier on in this year I ate two meals a week and exercised for two hours a day.
I visibly gained weight.
Your move, thermodynamics!

Angry faces. Not too much detail there so it's easy even though they're small.

Might want to try adding stuff to the backgrounds; you've got bland backgrounds with super-detailed people.

I was reffering to the fact that some of the people have no faces. It's my way of showing the dehumanization each side does to the other. Comics/panels from the Rebel perspective show the DSF as faceless drones blindly following orders. Comics/Panels from the loyalist perspective show Rebels as faceless animals trying to tear down the government.

Edit: Also, Backgrounds are hard....

Didn't catch that dehumanizing effect right away, so I'd have to say that it wasn't very effective. Especially since they're just "standing around" (art style limits and whatnot)

I tried to show it best in the last panel. The same scene from two different perspectives. The Loyalist scene has the DSF with faces, the guy holding a gun, and the crowd faceless. The Rebel version has the DSF faceless, the crowd with faces, and the guy holding a Flask. I figured showing the same scene with the Faces switched from two different perspectives would carry across that it's a perspective thing.

[memnarch]

*Looks really close at comic*

Oh. Not a flask in the 2nd to last. Huh. Bigger comic might help next time, if you can manage it.

It's a gun in the 2nd to last (Because that's what the Loyalists say happened), it's a Flask in the last one (because that's what the Rebels say happened)

Cough medicine.

He sounded like he was taking drugs so I reacted like he was taking drugs. Might be worth noticing that I don't take medicine when I can avoid it.



I feel the exact opposite. I would absolutely LOVE to be a boy, and I'm a girl. But I kind of get your dilema, at least.

The grass is not always greener on the other side (We say that in Denmark, don't know an equivalent in English). Why would a girl want to be one, they are violent, controlled by hormones and the only good stuff are fairly minor and most should be the same for girls.

[kpenguin]

And we, on average, live seven years than you female types.

[Mina Kobold]

Less or longer?

If we live longer then that would be the sole really good thing, that is until eternal life is invented :smalltongue:

Seven years less. I need to stop typing at 1:30 in the morning. :smalltongue:

It's the same here. At least, in the Mid-West region of the US.

Lies.
I also read somewhere that females are smarter and better cooks then men. Also lies.
Some of the greatest artists, scientists and chefs were/are men.

Gender has nothing to do with how smart, how creative or how well you can cook, that's defined by a number of other things.

We shouldn't count out that until a still quite recent time women simply weren't allowed to do any of these things professionally in most parts of the world, so men got a pretty good headstart in numbers.
