    Default Wanderers of the Mushroom Kingdom - A Mario fancomic

    Step right up, ladies and gents! This here is a web comic I decided to start after being inspired by my first read of Order of the Stick I did a few weeks back. Wanderers of the Mushroom Kingdom is a comic that takes place in the Mario universe and follows the adventures of 6 characters as they wander around the land for reasons not known to us. They will face all kinds of odds and even face some familiar faces from the Mario universe!

    This comic is a project that I am doing in my spare time, and therefore will not be the main priority in the list of things I do in everyday life. I expect updates to be made at least once a month, although I might make more if I make significant progress on it, or less if I get cancer, or worse, lose motivation! Not to mention updates with more than 1 page at a time are possible, but don't expect those too often.

    And now... the pages!

    That would be a reference to Super Mario Bros - The Lost Levels where Bloopers (the squids) are spotted flying in the airs. As to how they do that... well, it's the Mario universe, nothing really needs to make sense! :P

    superdark: Yes, that seems to be the gist of it. However they won't be only going in the wild!

    The character dynamics were surprisingly great. It's a big cast right from the beginning, but they all feel like they have distinct personalities. Some moreso than others, at this point, but I'm sure you'll get around to spotlighting everyone in due time.

    Will read more, fo' sure.

    It wasn't too dark for me.

    It's a nice comic based on a pretty sweet concept. I hope you'll excuse me, though, for saying that the art looks pretty lazy. It seems to me that Inkscape would be pretty much ideal for the simple shapes that make up Super Mario characters, and I think that with just a little more effort you could improve the art considerably.
    I don't mean to brag - it just sort of happens.

    Thanks for being honest. The thing is that I actually AM using Inkscape. :P However, I will try to make some improvements on the design when I get around to it (which hopefully shouldn't be too long from now).

    EDIT: What exactly is it that you found 'lazy' about the artstyle?

    Well, what I'm saying is, it shouldn't be too hard to mimic the shapes of your typical Mario enemies pretty much perfectly. There doesn't seem to be any particular reason for your characters' shapes to be skewed as they are.

    You can do whatever you like, of course, but you did ask. :P

    Haha... now, there's no reason to be shy! Just because there haven't been any updates in a bit, doesn't mean you cannot post your comments on the pages at all!

    I apologize for the delay. And to make up for it... double update!

    Page 7: http://img46.imageshack.us/i/page7g.png/
    Page 8: http://img830.imageshack.us/i/page8m.png/

    The next page should have improved character drawings.

    You know the drill! Comment with your general thoughts on this. Again, no need to be shy! You can always make a small post saying how much you like this comic, or you can give constructive criticism if you wish. Just comment!

    Yeah, I was thinking about attempting some sort of gradient light, but I decided to scrap the idea.

    I'll probably include one in the next page, although at this moment, I'm not too sure about that.

    I think the last panel works excellently. The black background informs us that it is still dark and there's no need for complicated shadow effects. Sure, you could put them in if you really feel like working extra, but the panel works just as well without.

    All in all, I'm still not seeing anything wrong with this comic. Keep making more, please

    WHOA... that's way too long a break for me to consider acceptable. I've had Pages 9 and 10 ready for a while, but I was too busy to upload them. But here they are now, in their folder stink glory!

    Page 11 may not be out for a considerable while, either. Mainly because it will require new backgrounds and new character designs.

    Update bump!

    Page 11 - Rise and Shine, Mr. Gyro

    I guess this page didn't take as much time as I thought I would! I think the next one will be a little more troublesome, though, because of yet another character that will appear!

    Can you guess which character it will be? I will provide you with two hints to help you:

    Hint 1: It comes from the same Mario game as the character introduced in this page.
    Hint 2: The character is a boss, and is fought twice in that game.

    Happy scavenging! Put any guesses in here, and I'll announce the winner when the next page releases!

    I don't think I should've even asked you guys to guess who the character would be. Kinda ruins the suspense.

    Still, I promised the announcement of the winner, which is Akrim.elf! Congratulations on solving this pretty easy riddle!

    Nonetheless, Page 12:
    [ ] Page 12 - Hungry Hungry Monster

    I apologize for the wait. Hopefully with summer around the corner, I'll find some time for this old comic.

    It may have more SMRPG references, although I'll use references from other obscure Mario games.

    As for the comic's status... I'm afraid to say that my computer had to be wiped, which means that the big file with all the character parts to copy and paste are indeed gone. I'll probably get back to the comic at some point, but until I figure out something, I'll have to set up yet another hiatus. Sorry folks.
    Nevermind, I've got that bit under control. Nothing to see here, folks!
