Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XLVI: A Tark of the Klones, Electric Boogalo
Well, Gez had the right idea on terrible nicknames. They can't just be terrible on their own. They also have to be incredibly lazy.
Honestly. Picking a nick name that's phonetically the same as your last name?
I will never get over how Nimmel, and I think others in comic, thinks his nickname is somehow cool or amazing.
Besides . . . Even if the Phoenix is supposed to invoke that whole rise from the ashes imagery . . . If someone was known as The Phoenix and they weren't literally a phoenix, my first thought would be "This guy must get the crap kicked out of him all the time."
It's like people forget that phoenixes have to die before they do any rising.Last edited by Shogo; 2012-08-05 at 09:57 PM.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XLVI: A Tark of the Klones, Electric Boogalo
The first of the filler is up. There's more if you Sneaky Gate it.
It's... pretty much what I expected. Hope Mookie doesn't get sick of Mass Effect.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XLVI: A Tark of the Klones, Electric Boogalo
I haven't played any Mass Effect (all I know about the game is that the alignment of your character determines the color of the explosion at the end when everybody dies; and that there's a chemotherapy alien named Tali that is there for creepy guys to romance), so I can't tell if any of the designs are copied.
Spoiler
So, aliens, alien-based superpowers ("project: star power" seems to imply aliens to me), slender snake lady, Stupid Sexy Zoidberg, more tentacles, ugly guys.
I kinda hope the "ultraviolet clearance" thing means the setting will be based on Paranoia, because it'd be hilarious to have Mookie try to cast Paranoia as "a universe where you want to escape to, not from".Last edited by Gez; 2012-08-06 at 05:43 AM.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XLVI: A Tark of the Klones, Electric Boogalo
They aren't direct copies as far as I can tell, but to my eye they're very much in the same school of sci-fi design. If this bunch was walking through a space station in Mass Effect they would blend in.
It's still a perfectly decent design school that plenty of sci-fi uses, but unfortunately it's hard for me to mesh a realistic style like that with Mookie's newspost where he wants it to be carefree, fast and fun instead of avoiding inner conflict and angst. When I've tried imagining fun and free sci-fi universes for my own projects, they tend to be more along the lines of "Commander Cosmo Comet of Alpha Jupiter Force", with rayguns, fishbowl helmets, unisex miniskirts and fins on everything.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XLVI: A Tark of the Klones, Electric Boogalo
On the bright side, that actually means it's a niche that isn't as heavily occupied. After all, there are light-hearted realistic-style comics in other genres, why not a superhero one with a sci-fi base?
I mean, if you think that inner conflict is the primary problem with comics today you may have missed certain larger issues, but that's a different thing. This might turn out better than the sum of its parts.
also I like the second set of sketches, the long creepy alien in the 1700s coat. Actually looks pretty cool.Last edited by Friv; 2012-08-06 at 07:58 AM.

The drawings look nice. I need to get around to play Mass Effect, though, clearly. (Isn't that sci fi with superpowers already? That's what biotics are, right?)

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XLVI: A Tark of the Klones, Electric Boogalo
Sort of, yeah. Biotics is the art of using the Mass Effect. Mass Effect is the manipulation of mass. Manipulating mass alters its gravity. Altering gravity changes potential energy. Changing potential energy can affect kinetic energy.
So Biotics is the art of throwing crap around by screwing with physics, and that's really all you need to know.Spoiler: My inventory:

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XLVI: A Tark of the Klones, Electric Boogalo
Mookie realises that the humanoid aliens in ME are mostly there because of the restrictions of the combat engine, right? The Elcor and jellyfish aliens are the most inhuman because they don't have any recruitable characters.
I bet Mookie will be taking more inspiration from Green Lantern in the inhuman characters. Is there anything Gaiman's done with space aliens? I'm sure we'll see few Sandman creatures.
Number 10 looks eerily similar to something I doodled a few months ago.
Oh, and I just realised that Mookie's new comic will mean that slays will be much harder to do and probably not as funny. Damn.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XLVI: A Tark of the Klones, Electric Boogalo
I don't think there'd be a problem if Mookie's work was a deliberate homage to certain elements of the sience fiction genre (Although I think he'd be better in a Classic Trek homage than Mass Effect, simply because Mookie lacks the ability to create the atmosphere needed for the gradual darkening in the Mass Effect Series). The problem is that this probably won't be nearly that well planned out, and Mookie doesn't do a great job of putting his own mark on these things.

I'm...optimistic? What. What is this? This feeling? It burns. I don't. What?
Maybe it'll be okay?

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XLVI: A Tark of the Klones, Electric Boogalo
You know that Nimmel-y character of mine? The plot of his revolved around clashing with demonic representations of the Seven Deadly Sins with shadowy powers. I was going to name him "Eldric". Back then I'd have thought "Full Metal Alchemist" was a Playstation game, until I was curious about how other artists drew their representation of Envy and did a Google Search.
And FMA's Envy looked uncannily like my Envy too.
Now I feel I owe Mookie an apology. Maybe less so for Garth because come on I haven't read Sandman either and even I know Neil Gaiman's Death.
Edit: Although to be fair to Garth too, I've only read a dozen pages of his comic and only got as far as Death showing up.
And another webcomic to add to the queue. But yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Rayguns with fins too.Last edited by Trazoi; 2012-08-06 at 07:18 PM.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XLVI: A Tark of the Klones, Electric Boogalo
Plus he fails at following the rules of War to make Sci Fi Battles.
From Maltek Arc:
Orcs charging first instead of opening up arrow barrage until melee. Bad idea; I recommend using an orc to lure the enemies to the firing range.
Let's cross our fingers if it would be like this comic (AKA bad) or decent.Badly drawn helmet avatar drawn by me.

Re: Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, Mk. XLVI: A Tark of the Klones, Electric Boogalo
I'll admit that the art looks really nice and has even got me excited to see where this will go but I have one gripe. How is the tentacles squid creature standing upright? Unless it has some sort of skeleton supporting it's body it wouldn't be able to stand upright because tentacles don't work like that. They are mostly soft tissue that cannot function properly outside of water.
Maybe if the entire tentacle is made up of rigid muscle fiber but even that's kind of breaking suspension of disbelief. Art still looks decent though

Just wait, those are merely concept sketches. While Garth draws better than Mookie, he doesn't have a superior grasp on anatomy, posture, or costume design.
For example, the following two pieces were dug by people on the SA thread:
Spoiler
Look at the proportions on the zombie fight picture, and of course the woman's legs which are just painful to look at. The costume design for the steampunky one speaks for itself.
Also, just look at the eyes here:
