Besides the fast of there being at least 3 up-and-running webcomics other than the giants... Me and my friend VespeRatavo are now attempting a run at creating our own. I'll be doing the art and helping out Vespe with the script.

No, this wasn't a spur-of-the-moment idea in conjunction with the recent spike in playgrounder created webcomics. We have been wanting to do a webcomic for some time now. Just so happened to happen at such a coincidental time.

Updates may likely occur up to twice a week, but who knows. <__< Probably during weekends.

So here's a prologue to give you a sense of what we're doing:

Man, I have a new-found respect for comic artists. :smallsigh:

Nice. I liked it so far. Just a little nitpick. Should the mom's speech bubble in the last panel be dashed? I think that usually denotes a whisper. As far as I've seen, a normal bubble without a speech line would be fine, especially since the character refers to the speaker as "mom" in his next line.

EDIT: Curse my inadequate monitor! Does the character's last bubble say "I shouldn't have played WoW last night"?

Mr_Saturn
2007-11-24, 12:02 AM
I wasnt sure what an off-panel dialogue should be put as. So i just put dashed lines.

Ill do that next time. Thanks! :smallcool:

2007-11-24, 01:58 AM
If you want it to seem like it's coming from off-side, have the speech bubble itself shoved to the side it's off of. Adjust the rest of the speech so that it'd still make sense - cut the panel into two if you must.

Another hint - if you're going to use speech bubbles (I don't), it's a good idea to keep the text centralized. Left- or right-angled text is hard to work into a circle.

Other than that? It's far better than my first try. Keep it up.

"Nu-uh! Let It Be was just alright. While My Guitar Gently Weeps, now there's a song"

I'd just like to say I love what you've done with the comic so far. The poster (or whatever it is) on the wall that breaks the fourht wall is awesome, and so is the idea of AMEN being an evil fraternity. I love it, and I'm really hoping for a cameo appearance as an AMENite. :smallbiggrin:

Mr_Saturn
2007-12-01, 12:14 PM
The thing about this webcomic is that it involves playgrounders. Now everyone wants a cameo appearance. xD

We havent thought so far as to cameo appearances. They probably will only happen as spur-of-the-moment thingies. But those spurs come around alot. :smallwink:

I never really thought of which year the character vespe was in. But we'll probably find a way to sneak that into the comic to make it more canonical or something.

Vespe Ratavo
2007-12-01, 12:23 PM
Or we could just be lazy and never bother to say what year anyone is in.

That might work too.

As for cameo appearances...well, I can't speak for Mr_Saturn, but I do love cameo appearances. Especially by AMENites.

@V: Thanks. :smallbiggrin:

Mr_Saturn
2007-12-19, 01:33 AM
So i need you people's who want to be in the comic to post what character you want depicted.

Raistlin for example, i dont know if you want to be some drummer boy. I dont know if ichneumon wants her current avatar as her character. Or if banjo wants to look like some elan knock-off.

I mean, your character has a much higher chance to be a long running character rather than a one-strip cameo. That way i dont need to keep drawing random npc-ish people.

This is a strip about playgrounders, and we need playgrounding characters for that. (Lol, i love the word "playgrounding")

And you could perhaps mention what kind of personality you have. Or else we will stereotype you by your avatar and other things we know about you. (e.g. Ichneumon as some wasp-chesspiece girl.)




What do you guys think? :smallconfused:

Oh, and we got a new comic. :smallwink:

@Ichneumon: What happened to Opening?

Ichneumon
2007-12-19, 09:33 AM
@^: Opening sort of died when after around 120 pages no one was reading it anymore and the story had slowed down to an almost plotless boring rythm. You can still read it at jleuven.net/opening.htm. I also post the Inconsistency comics there, but that is just for my own record, in case the complete Giantitp forum crashes or anything.

So i need you people's who want to be in the comic to post what character you want depicted.

Raistlin for example, i dont know if you want to be some drummer boy. I dont know if ichneumon wants her current avatar as her character. Or if banjo wants to look like some elan knock-off.

I mean, your character has a much higher chance to be a long running character rather than a one-strip cameo. That way i dont need to keep drawing random npc-ish people.

This is a strip about playgrounders, and we need playgrounding characters for that. (Lol, i love the word "playgrounding")

And you could perhaps mention what kind of personality you have. Or else we will stereotype you by your avatar and other things we know about you. (e.g. Ichneumon as some wasp-chesspiece girl.)




What do you guys think? :smallconfused:


My avatar without the sword or belt, He is kinda Curious but is really smart (like me:smallbiggrin: ) and is a nerd and/or geek. He likes star wars (If that is possible in your comic) and enjoys making lego models.

Edit: Oh yeah, Me has some friends that actually arent as much of a geek as he is, and some of his friends call him Sizzle (Cause it is usually easier to say than his actual name). He is usually happy and doesn't care about his grades too much (an A- is fine).

Darkblade, something based upon my old Dijinatar(Its over there <--). A new guy type kid but is dangerously into counter-culture, pointless rebellion and other forms of "sticking it to the man" his major claim to fame is being a sawshbuckler(not pirate)/ninja doing Robin Hood/Zorro type things in his spare time and possibly a member of the HALO frat if they ever show up in the comic.

Raistlin1040
2007-12-19, 05:10 PM
My avatar is not just a drummer boy. It's Ringo Starr of the Beatles.

There's an AMEN raistlin in the spoiler in my sig. However, it's a bit outdated, and Raistlin has changed since it was made.

He's got the same unruly brown hair and skin/eyes. However, his sword is on his back, and his guitar is in his hands. He's wearing dark blue jeans, and a black concert T-shirt (Guns N' Roses for example, or Iron Maiden.). He's got a pair of drumsticks in his pocket, and a wears a dark red top hat.

Also, if you ever show his room, it would have a bed, and Xbox, and a bunch of instruments. Guitars, pianos, bass', drums, a microphone, and probably a bunch of other stuff.

2007-12-19, 05:38 PM
Soooo, everyone except raistlin will be using their current avatars.

Just a heads up. For people like onasuma, You'll probably be losing your armor. Or most of it.

Me and vespe will think about new characters. Seeing that it is already the 8th or so comic and we havent even "introduced" our planet-protagonist's name. New characters may come slow. :smallredface:

Just take my avatar, just add pockets, and since the Awesome, great and almighty Mr_Saturn made my avatar, he should still have it.

Great comic!

And if you want to make it 'OOTS' style.
Add blue t-shirt and blue pants, and make his blue boots furry....
And his head should be round, blue furred with the santa hat.

Rex: The crazy guy who lives in the basement. Senior

Raistlin: The musically talented one who can't got 5 minutes without mentioning the awesomeness of (Insert Beatles Song) or the amazing guitar solos of (Insert Guns N' Roses Song). He occasionally wears a top hat. Junior

Draken: The slightly nerdy guy who still manages to fight for his right to party. Sophmore.

From what I can see here:
http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k125/Yitsockl/Banner1.png
It appears that it starts off as a circle. The circle is then turned into a path using Cntrl+Shift+C and the addition of nodes allows a void to be made inside. Another, empty, circle is made and fitted to the inside of the ring created from the first circle.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v684/Lyinginbedmon/Saturnrings.png
After that, a couple extra nodes, some splitting, and Cntrl+K, makes an object that can be infront and behind of another object(s) simultaneously.

Mr_Saturn
2007-12-29, 03:40 AM
Yes, haruki-kun is right. Our original idea had something to do with "the adventures of mr.saturn and vespe"...but that didnt flow very well. As the name evolved, it eventually became "Ring V", to look like we weren't so conceited of ourselves.

But i suppose a name is only what you make it. :smalltongue:

EDIT: Ah, saw you want descriptions...

Bushranger is fiercely devoted to those few whom he considers true friends. To the point where he will take great bodily harm, or worse, to his person before allowing them to be injured. Won't talk much about his past. He will flirt with most of the ladies, and has a particular soft spot for drow... Makes sarcastic comments at the drop of a hat, and will use witty banter to confuddle his enemies in a fight.

Appearance: when in ghost form, as the avatar, except green eyes - although when using ice-manipulating powers his eyes turn icy blue-white, and when very angry (i.e. when his friends are being hurt) his eyes turn red... in human form, gray T-shirt, stonewashed blue jeans, sneakers, dirty brown hair, blue-gray eyes.

And this would be the point where I would give you all the generic praise that is usually given to all webcomic artists. But instead, I'm simply going to mention giving praise to you rather than actually doing it.

I still really like the art on this strip, and some of the humour is rather funny. I think Iit would be better for me to read if I knew something about AMEN, but it's pretty good as it is.

Me and vespe are trying to get more character development going on. Hopefully you can see it coming on the next few strips.

Most people are back in school, so everything is slowing down. Both scripter and artist are having less time around. But i hope I can get the next issue up soon. I'll say this much, theres a bit more action in this one. <_<

Awesome comic!

Is it just my computer, or is comic ten not on the first page? (or #9)

I'm sorta confused...

anyway... I read back a few pages, and hobo actually originated from homeless bob... (homeless-meless) + (bob-b) = hobo! I'm not sure exactly how it got shortened, but it did... (darnit!, wheres the indifferent smiley???)

Mr_Saturn
2008-01-14, 10:49 PM

At first we were thinking about having saturn simply dash off, but jumping into a bus is so much more awesome.

@Dallas: I drew it as a random baby, but i did happen to take that baby straight off from the avatar i drew for Neftren. <.<

@Zarah: We hoped so. :smallwink:

I can't say that this comic makes me laugh as much as others do, but it's still decent. It's in my personal top five though.

Ichneumon
2008-01-15, 01:43 PM
Actually, I really enjoy this comic because of the comeos and the strange humor (or is it humour? Strange spelling).

Mr_Saturn
2008-01-15, 02:14 PM
I can't say that OotS made me laugh as much as other do. I can't say that my own comic (Ring V) makes me laugh as others do, or any comic in general.

But I still enjoy them. Alot of times i think jokes are exaggerated over the internet. Do you really "laugh out loud" when you type "LOL"? Most of the time I do not, but I type it anyways.

I try to make this comic funny, but I'm no expert. As long as people like it, and as long as I have extra time to draw a comic, I'll continue to do so. :smallsmile:

2008-01-15, 02:16 PM

Actually, the chance of a webcomic getting worse after 10 or so comics is much bigger than the chance of fastly improving it.

This comic is great, I think it will improve.

Shas aia Toriia
2008-01-19, 07:46 PM
Just reread the comics (taking me a grand total of two minutes) and I have to congratulate you yet again. The only thing that could make it better is to either
a) put in a HALO reference to match the AMEN one (yes, I am aware Vespe is in AMEN so the chances are low)
or
b) give Shas'aia a cameo.

*hands over 10 gp*

That should do it. :smallamused:

Mr_Saturn
2008-01-19, 11:19 PM
I wanted a HALO reference, but it seems like we are saving it for some reason. Maybe its because we barely started introducing AMEN, and I'm a slow artist.

Just to annoy you I shall pay 5 gp too and request another cameo:smalltongue:

The comic was 25% done until school finally crept up on me. As you can see, im not over-exerting myself as there were some art problems.

Wow, i wish i could cash in with all this gp flowing in. If i ever go to the Town, i rich enough to buy anything. xD

@Bayar/Ichneumon: You'll pay to see Mrs. Saturn? :smallconfused: :smalltongue:

According to the comic, Saturn is quite androgynous too.

But for convenience's sake, I deem Toriia male. :smalltongue:

Besides, you can't just take out my ambiguouty about gender! That's one of an elf's and my most defining characteristics, and as Elf in the Playground, it is my right to maintain the androgity of elves everywhere! [/empassioned speech]

The new comics come out as soon as i finish them. i'm not going to horde them all in my computer and torture you intentionally.

This week happened to be my first week of college, and I have a pretty big load. I havent been home much until this weekend. I'm aiming to do exceptional in all my classes, but this comic is not forgotten.

He was my first avatar, but after I started making my own (and the Alchemists WW game), I've been using a State Alchemist. The cyborg was a Frank Archer version. But hey, a cameo! And I didn't even pay!

Guess what, we have a filler comic! Before I post it, let me give you some background as to why it's so terrible so incredibly awesome not your usual Ring V.

Mr. Saturn asked me to make a filler comic yesterday, and I was up until 3 AM last night. This comic was thrown together in approximately 5 seconds.

That is all.

Dear Mr. Saturn,

I know that some people would pay you to make a cameo in your comic.

I will not make any cameo! I know you have been begging me! I refuse! From the Bottem of my heart! I will not sacrafice my integrety for this comic, and will not apper in it!

Okay fine, if I must! BUT JUST THIS ONCE!

Let it be known that I am angry.

If anyone noticed, you don't actually have to pay to get a cameo. I'll be filthy rich if you guys actually did pay me 5gp each. *sigh* :smallsigh:

Then I realize that you guys are role-players, so I guess ill swing with it.

*Thanks Vespe for filler comic*

There might be more, who knows. Depending on my ability to draw in my free time, if i get any....
