    Default Tears of the Scions (sprite comic) - Back from the dead!

    NOTE: The comic is NOT on hiatus anymore! The thread title refuses to change, and I'm working on fixing it as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Greetings! I'm here to make you aware of a sprite comic I've created a while ago, and I've finally found the time to start up again. As the title indicates, it's called Tears of the Scions, a sprite comic situated in a fantasy world full of mysteries. I will upload the first strip very soon, so sit tight!

    Advice: Please please please please don't upload your comics to Devianart.

    try Photobucket or Imageshack. Both have their flaws but are infinitely better than Devianart.

    Try to keep a neat and organized archive (made from the 1st post usually) and link to all your comics in order.

    Oopsie, I had no idea about that. Thanks for pointing it out, The Randomizer, I'll change it ASAP.

    I've got good news: I'm going to start this baby up again :)

    There's only one issue: is thread resurrection okay here? Or should I start an entirely new one? Either way, no big deal, just let me know.

    I think it's generally accepted if it's your own thread.

    Alright, we've got the first comic back up! I'll upload the other 4 I have ready as buffer every two days or so.

    There's only one issue so far, and it's with the forum: this thread's title refuses to change

    I'm open to suggestions on how to fix this

    The title cannot be changed (except by a mod) after 1 month of thread creation.

    Thanks, I just tried that, but I'm told that I've no access to sending an Email or PM

    It reads something like this: Forbidden

    So yeah. What's the next step?

    I'm working on changing the title, so hopefully a mod will assist me soon.

    For now, I've added the 3rd page of the comic! Enjoy! :)

    closeups don't work to well in that style it seems.

    I'm not sure what you mean here. Would you mind explaining yourself so that I may understand your criticism?

    While we're on it, would you mind telling me what you like/dislike about the comic, and how I may improve it?

    In a close up the pixels become too pronounced, at least in my opinion. 8 bit theater has some pixlation but no to the same degree.

    I understand, but it's done for dramatic effect, see. If you have ideas for alternate ways to do it, please let me know

    For those of you out there wondering when page 4 is coming, wonder no more: it'll be today or tomorrow.

    Comic 5 is up, in which things get messy

    I still can't get in touch with mods to change the thread's title. If you're reading this, please, I'm begging you, ask a mod on my behalf to read this, since I can't get in touch with them for the reasons I stated in some posts above.

    Thank you

    And who may that be? I'm curious as to who you think that is

    In my opinion, the true hero is guard #5 back in comic 3. Yeah

    Whose name? Kaen's? He was introduced in the first comic, 2 panels before the last one

    If you're referring to the Other Kaen, then sorry, but his introduction will come at another time and place

    Oh, and here's comic 8.
