Avatar Battle Royale Discussion Thread XXXIII - "1 Plot, 2 Plot, Dead Plot, New Plot"

The last few months have been very silent for ABR. Previously we would burn discussion threads in less than a month, sometimes in one or two weeks, or even a handful of days!

About your comics, Goblin Scribe, they're not bad by themselves, but that darned Paint is pixelating them into artistic oblivion. Have you tried using Inkscape? It's both free and easy to use, and greatly improves the quality of OotS-style art, being vectorial. If you still desire a raster program, I've heard that GIMP, which is also free, might be a good choice.

That seems....far-fetched, but given what I've read, not that strange.

Oh, and we've reached page 50. Should we not make a new thread?

EDIT: I have downloaded Inkscape. Those two comics I made a week ago, Inkscape was downloaded shortly after. I'm working on the next comic,which is in Inkscape and looking good, but I'm trying this thing called National Novel Writer's Month out and it'll probably consume most of my time.

ANOTHER EDIT: I tried GIMP, but it's a rather poor program for drawing. Its speciality is editing photos, I think.

Indeed, Skimmer is presently in charge of making the new thread. It may take some time for the mods to approve the thread, so feel free to continue posting until the thread appears.

Oh, right, that approval rule. I think I read about it when I entered the forums.

So I hope it's okay for my comic to feature the Plotgoblins like this. I don't want to define their defences, especially since in this case they seem to be rather poor, and I know somebody else has probably already shown what the Plotgoblin Peninsula is like. If it's any help, Grayscale isn't out of the woods yet.

By the way, how do you suggest I find space for my speech balloons? They just won't fit in these panels as they are without covering something up.

Plotgoblin Peninsula has never really been shown (though it's been said to have structures resembling staff break rooms), as the Plotgoblins are nowadays little more than an artefact from the old days, due to the fleshing out of the setting and the move from fourth-wall breaking humour. They seem to be more "meta" than anything else.

There are three main solutions that can be combined if desired:

1. Bigger panels
2. Smaller text
3. Less text per panel

Thanks. So should I not use the plotgoblins too much?

Did he say that? I don't think he said that

On the contrary. Your use of them will actually be fairly beneficial, as they've rusted away for far too long now.

[Mina Kobold]

I should probably actually work on making some comics...

Probably

I'm still waiting on Q's EPIC COMIC OF EPICNESS

What plot's it for?

[Green-Shirt Q]

What plot's it for?

The comic I'm making is for ABR Corps.

Now that I'm working on it, it's actually almost finished. Though it's not really all that epic. I'm sorry if I made it sound like that.

Oh, I thought breaking the fourth wall was frowned upon in FI.

[-skimmer-]

Oh, I thought breaking the fourth wall was frowned upon in FI.

Yeah, but none will care about that if you do it well enough

Also, in Plotgoblins case it doesn't even count as wall breaking....

EDIT: New thread....
