COMIC! YAY!

I would've claimed writer's block, but after watching this video I can no longer believe in it.

Damn you, wheezy waiter!

[EmeraldPhoenix]

Sorry, my (hypothetical) readers, I can't make a new comic until next friday.


But when I DO make a comic, I promise you all an awesome one.

[Delorges]

Hi!
I'm one of your "hypothetical" *cough* readers and thought I should finally come and say hello. Been reading since, dunno, strip 9 or something like that?
Well, I guess the fact I still read it says enough about my opinion of your comic. Keep it up!

[EmeraldPhoenix]

Oh crap.

ohcrapohcrapohcrapohcrapoh CRAP!
My computer just died. It bit it. It blacked out. Went down the tube. Whatever.

I've tried everything. I'm just not going to be able to get a comic out unless we fix my computer. It won't even turn on.

Sorry.
I MIGHT be able to use my sisters computer, but it's incredibly slow. (It's what I'm using right now, in case you were wondering.)

[EmeraldPhoenix]

I HAVE GOOD NEWS AND I HAVE BAD NEWS.

The good news is that I got a new computer.
The bad news is that you have to wait a bit longer for comics while I re-draw all my characters.

But still, progress!

Methos Hazara's guest comic has inspired me to reach for new hights! (and widths and lengths! Hahaha.) So, without further ado, I give you:
(Da dada DA!)
The art upgrade!



Warning: If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. I worked hard on that.

New comic will come soon.

HUGE improvement! This will make an already great comic even better. I am having much trouble waiting for the next comic.

What about constructive criticism?

[EmeraldPhoenix]

What about constructive criticism?

As long as it's
1. ACTUALLY constructive, not just an excuse to say what sucks, and
2. phrased in a nice way,

it's fine.

[Tiffanie Lirle]

2. phrased in a nice way,

See, now you're just being picky. Good advice is good advice, who cares if it hurts your ever so delicate feelings?

In all seriousness though, the difference in art quality is huge. I think the pointed ends on the open mouths are kind of weird though.

Yes, I still need to work on the mouths.

And I don't mean nice way as in "You're comic is awesome and wonderful there's just this time little problem here oh well I'm probably just being picky.",
I mean not insulting. Like, saying "Dude, you're characters are ugly. Just change the friggen line length or something." would be not nice. Pretty much everything else is fine.

WOW!

So that is why I'm not reading any new The Neutrals latelly...
I'm glad I've inspired you! That is a huge improvement and a great surprise!
Are you using InkScape?

EDIT:
By the way... You should make a new banne that says "Un-crappyness is guarenteed"
EDIT 2:
I wonder if this is the spell "Epic Comicus Uncrappius"

Whoah ! You have improved since I left...

[Delorges]

Uoah to the new art! MUCH better. Didn't think you could improve that much so fast.
Yeah, big and great art update, keep it up! As for the last comic, they don't seem to be walking/moving at all. Maybe some changing background (a tree or a rock they walk past would suffice) would help. Apart from that, quite nice. looking forward to more.

[EmeraldPhoenix]

Thank you all for the kind words! I personally love the new look.

New comic:

All work and no comments makes jack BA a dull boy girl.

In other news, I have a cold, my sister got a new cat, and I haven't failed any classes yet.

As towards the comic schedule: Currently random. Once my god^&*% mandatory (Ok, so it was that or gym) golf team ends (early October) I should be able to slip into a less hectic schedule.
I'll try to get out as many as possible, though.

[MethosH]

It is looking good
But I think Sam's cape is a little odd, not sure why
Question: Why aren't you updating the first post anymore?

By the way, I didn't knew that about goblins

[CrimsonAngel]

Woooo.

yeah, it's a very common misconception. I've always wondered why people think they're green...*thoughtful expression*

Woooo.

...Awesomesauce.

The giant told me they were green and I belived

Wait... arn't kobolds and goblins both short?

[EmeraldPhoenix]

Wait... arn't kobolds and goblins both short?

Kobolds are short, reptilian humanoids with cowardly and sadistic tendencies.

A kobold’s scaly skin ranges from dark rusty brown to a rusty black color. It has glowing red eyes. Its tail is nonprehensile. Kobolds wear ragged clothing, favoring red and orange. A kobold is 2 to 2½ feet tall and weighs 35 to 45 pounds. Kobolds speak Draconic with a voice that sounds like that of a yapping dog.

A goblin stands 3 to 3½ feet tall and weigh 40 to 45 pounds. Its eyes are usually dull and glazed, varying in color from red to yellow. A goblin’s skin color ranges from yellow through any shade of orange to a deep red; usually all members of a single tribe are about the same color. Goblins wear clothing of dark leather, tending toward drab, soiled-looking colors. Goblins speak Goblin; those with Intelligence scores of 12 or higher also speak Common.

Most goblins encountered outside their homes are warriors.

There's a difference, but they're both shorter than an adult human.

[EmeraldPhoenix]

Sorry for the double post, but...maybe it's too much to ask, but if anyone could make banners for me, that'd be really nice.

Also, looking at that kobald description made me think about the color of Samantha's skin.
Hmmm...maybe I should change it...

[MethosH]

I think that by the rules of this parituclar sub-forum you are allowed to double post and thread necromancy on your own comic thread so don't worry

If I have the time I may be able to come up with a banner in 4 days or so

[EmeraldPhoenix]

I'm going to start another new webcomic in addition to The Neutrals. Here's the preview:

[EmeraldPhoenix]

I'm putting The Neutrals on Hiatus for a little while while I figure out where I want it to go.

Sorry, peoples of the forum.

You can still read my other webcomic Molly and the Waves.
