I have no idea how to respond to your comic, Smuch. Not that there's any problem with it, but Grayscale hasn't yet had to deal with lethal force.
(In other words: I haven't worked out how to draw a basic pistol yet)
I'll try and make a response comic tomorrow.

[smuchmuch]

You don't nessecarily hae to treat that bite as 'lethal' force. You can alway treat in a cartoonish . (I don't know If you are familiar witht at old cartoon ? Look at 4.50 to see what I mean) or simply a 'it hurts and stings but has no lasting effect' way.
(Depends how 'realisitc' and violent you want to keep that,but I was under the impression you were going for slapstick)

Also I believe the Inksape tutorial from the Inkscape help thread has a basic gun shape in it; if that helps. (I can't find the thread but here is the tutorial)

[Mad Mask]

I wouldn't suggest copying directly from the tutorial. If you really want to "get" guns, rather than be able to imitate another artist's work, you should draw them from life (or its second cousin, Google Images) and build up your own interpretation of them.

Whooops

[Goblin Scribe]

Whooops

Crap....more drawing.

Ever daydreamed about a huge comic idea, and spent ages pondering how it would work out, only to realize it wasn't that funny, would be hard to draw, and would take forever?
It's kind of funny, in an annoying sort of way.

I'm making a comic responding to the dragon and the dwarf gnome. I shall then make a comic responding to the rockets. Imageshack is being rude, though, so the comics will probably not be posted for a while.

By the way, Skimmer, kudos on getting the sleeves right. I haven't actually explained it yet, but the reason I hardly ever show the goblin's hands is because he has very long sleeves. You only see his hands when he needs to, say, poke someone.

EDIT: Oh, and I'm working on another FFF 1.5 comic. It's not going to be very good, but I want to get it out there. It'll basically give some entrance points.

Every single comic of mine is done that way....

Isn't that bit redundant? Dragon was then, rockets are now....you don't really have to respond in a way that makes sense, that's not really the point of the random kills

I actually compared your goblin with other templates you drew for FFF 1.5, so I kinda guessed he has just long sleeves

Oh yes, it generaly hits me when I'm bout 3/4 done with the picture and start getting a good view of what it's going to look like.
What the hell was I thinking ?!

WHAT YOU CALL GRLUMP

GRLUMP WILL SMASH PUNY GOBLIN SCRIBE AND MAKE GOBLIN SCRIBE BIG EYES INTO EYESCREAM. GRLUMP LIKE EYESCREAM

[HalfTangible]

I got sick of waiting.

Wish i could say that was his most specialized attack.

Over specialized attacks are poor strategy against a shapechanger

[HalfTangible]

A) And using a missile launcher at point blank range isn't?

B) Didn't you tell me that Skimmer's natural form is the only one she can assume, making her shapeshifting more like regeneration than... well, shapeshifting?

[CrimsonAngel]

My friend mwanted to know what to draw in advisory today. The first thing into my head and out of my mouth? "A pickle with three boobs and a scythe!"

Thank you for that wholly unwanted mental image

EDIT @ RK: But i'm too lazy to draw a dragon D=

[CrimsonAngel]

You haven't been here long. Ask Nameless what I'm talking about.

[HalfTangible]

You haven't been here long. Ask Nameless what I'm talking about.

You're talking about a three-boobed pickle. I don't WANT to know any more!

[GrlumpTheElder]

You're talking about a three-boobed pickle. I don't WANT to know any more!

and yet I'm still rather intreagued...

[HalfTangible]

I now officially hate explosions. And radial gradients.

[-skimmer-]

A) And using a missile launcher at point blank range isn't?

But it looked so badass in my head!

B) Didn't you tell me that Skimmer's natural form is the only one she can assume, making her shapeshifting more like regeneration than... well, shapeshifting?

Schapechanging, not shifting. It's the difference that makes her capable of running around decapitated while no law of anatomy can stop her.
Usual regenerators have to atleast wait until their brains grow back....

[HalfTangible]

Ya know, i was trying to AVOID that kind of pun.

[Goblin Scribe]

Um, the dragon is colored because...he's shinier than the others guys. Yeah, that's the ticket.

[Threeshades]

WHY'D WE STOP AGAIN?

Spoiler

Now there's some fine goblin tactics at work.

[Lavidor]

Did something happen to imageshack?

[Goblin Scribe]

Why did I include a bruise earlier, but ignore two Wolverine-esque knives in the stomach? For the same reason the mage's robe is gray instead of black.

Is there any particular color you'd like your goblin's eyes to be?

[Goblin Scribe]

Grayscale's eyes are large and black. Otherwise, no.

*Has sudden feeling of foreboding*
I left the iron on!

I made 'em a little yellow

[-skimmer-]

Goblin: Good jab actually, I have most of the next ABRC already done, I just haven't got as much time for it as I would like to lately (I'm not really counting the RK's, I'm making those in 20 minutes via copy pasting)....

[CrimsonAngel]

If skimmer is a veteran, I must be really important.
