Uh-oh. Villain team-up detected! Maybe the heroes are in trouble after all.

I TOLD you not to count them out!

[PurityIcekiller]

I TOLD you not to count them out!

Yes, you did. In fairness to me, I thought they'd be alone at the time.

[asdflove]

Yes, you did. In fairness to me, I thought they'd be alone at the time.

Yes, but you counted them out, only having met 3 of them. MOST of them are fairly competent.

Reading this one after you mentioned doing two in the other comic thread. So far, (at 10) I would Highly suggest staying away from handwriting fonts, and work on the lettering, it's rather hard to read now and then. High joke content, but still moving story and putting in a bit of backstory. pretty decent story.

Yeah, I figured that out. I use comic sans for both now.

Updated.

Does anyone want to know my silly way of keeping myself motivated to work on this?

[PurityIcekiller]

Yay, update! And it seems elves aren't as androgynous as I thought, judging by that family.

And of course I'd like to know about your methods. It'll be interesting, and I need motivation methods myself.

Alex's family is unusual in that aspect, though his mother is a half-elf, so that may be why.

I made a comic for way in the future that is very plot heavy, and everytime I start to procrastinate this, I tell myself I have to get this done, or I'll never get to that point.
Oh gods the feels in that comic!

Also, any time that (for some reason) doesn't work, I ask my brother (Whom I'm probably talking to on Skype) to tell me to do it. I have no idea why, but even if I just told them to tell me to do it, someone telling me to do something, always manages to get me to do it.THE FEELS! Poor Shiri...

Also, you might want to check out the site. Z got his entry on the cast page

Updated.

But...Calm emotions isn't a Wizard's spell...

Alex's family

this would make an adorable family photo/portrait, just needs a background, perhaps an older color theme, It made me happy to see this

I thought you might be focusing on something like that, building up foundations with casual joking in between, it very suspicion
I hope to see the fruits of your work when the time is right.
But not 'fore that - that be just wrong...

...OMG NOW I CAN'T WAIT! oh, wait, gotta be discrete about it :#
Yes, love, we get it. the FEELS of it all, looking forward to it, can't wait.

I have a friend like Z - Unquestionably evil, but so uncaring we doubt it'll go anywhere on his own- like an "emotion sloth", and just as fuzzy.

Yup. It was set up like that on purpose, I just didn't feel like doing a background and sepia-ing the colors.

Yep. I've had a long story planned out since comic 1.

...OMG NOW I CAN'T WAIT! oh, wait, gotta be discrete about it :#

Well. You better be ready for a long wait, because if all goes according to plan it will be comic 200.

You actually KNOW someone like Z?

[Prince Zahn]

You actually KNOW someone like Z?

...No, but it was neat makin' your eyes widen.

I know a guy who is at times similar, but he has too many passions to be Z.

[Seer_of_Heart]

Sorry, is it just me or are the comics on the website really blurry and hard to read. I'd like to read this but the blurriness is making it difficult to read.

[asdflove]

The first bunch are a bit blurry, because I hadn't figured my export size out yet. But not so blurry, that you wouldn't be able to read it.

[OoTLink]

I like alex's colors XD he's also pretty close to what I'd play in DND. bwahahah.

And I can't read much in the archive :( It looks like the stuff was uploaded and resized a few times too many in the process.

As I've said before, I hadn't figured out a good export size at that point. Most of it should be readable. I've gone through it. Everything important is legible. I would reexport all of them at a larger size, but I lost my .svg files of most of the early comics.

[OoTLink]

Aw ok. Sorry to hear that :(

Z's sense of boredom is hilarious. I wonder if it'll lead to shenanigans.

Edit: Every time I try something like this I remember how much work is involved in making comics (thanks! It's really awesome to read them ^_^), but I redid the text on #29 to see if it was possible. It is.. just some work lol.

Here's a page with that, sorry it's a little sloppy, I just made it so you can see :)

After trying #1, I really feel bad for complaining about it XD It's a lot of work!

[asdflove]

Updated. I forgot how quickly pure joke ones could be finished. I got it done in an hour tops.

[PurityIcekiller]

Technically, he's a grown elf playing with a cat. That was refreshingly silly.

Yes. The silliness is quite refreshing, isn't it?

[OoTLink]

The amount of silly between Shiri and Alex is awesome. XD

[Prince Zahn]

Yes. The silliness is quite refreshing, isn't it?

3 things:
1. Sooooo, having a pet is just mainstream among the mage's circles, I reckon?
I'm no longer surprised that anyone here would have a pet, cat's are cute and flutter is clearly (and this is for the prospect of keeping my eyes in their sockets) more than a simple Pet, and a far superior owl.

2. Next on extreme team makeovers we have Tristan! – arrogant, snarky, and lacking any suave qualities; this team-mate's only hope for being a snazzy catch is that clothes and hair (re)make the man.

Don't laugh, Jermey! you're next.

3. You can take the silliness a step further by voicing the characters, may I recommend that, for just a moment, you imagine Nomka referring to Alex as "Jim", and being VoiceOver'd by this little guy, get creative with the rest.
You're welcome, by the way.

1. There are so many classes in D&D that let you have an animal of some sort. (So you lost your eye protecting goggles?) Snowpaw can claw your eyes out if you make her mad, but she's far nicer than Flutter. Natalie has a snake, if you were curious.

2. ... I'm cracking up at this. So it's that clear that now is when he gets his new hair style?

3. Oh my gods. That voice. That definitely makes it more silly.

[Prince Zahn]

it's optional though... And I had to throw them away - I they give me a toad-like face.

2. ... I'm cracking up at this. So it's that clear that now is when he gets his new hair style?

I figured it was.
Get him outta that purple armor too - SOOO last season.

3. Oh my gods. That voice. That definitely makes it more silly.

I'm a terrible, terrible person for doing that ):P
Why yes, that's the name of the game. our score is 30-Love.

[asdflove]

2 updates in a row. Now I need to update Alignment shift twice in a row to balance it out.
Sorry imgur Jpeg-ifed it.

[PurityIcekiller]

That comic started really funny, then shocked me, then went back to being funny at the end. Wow.

So not only do evil opposites have the opposite colour of magic, but they have worse taste in colours. Good to know.

Yup. Mood whiplash all the way.

It's just Alex's magic color, inverted.

We have a TV tropes page! It's not much, but it's there.

Ugh, that's why you have flash drives. Can they hold those files?

Also, are you allowed to use surnames of the OOtS members? I thought about doing a TNG fanfic myself.

I use both of my 2 flash drives for school exclusively.
I really don't know if you can use the surnames, I've been playing it safe, so I'm not using them.

[PurityIcekiller]

I really don't know if you can use the surnames, I've been playing it safe, so I'm not using them.

Another complication with the surnames is the fact that some characters (Celia, V, Sabine) don't even have surnames, and Elan and Nale's surname seems to be "the Bard" if they even have one.
