C2H5OH

Me and Askaris have decided to team up and make, yes you guessed it, a webcomic. Set in a dark apocolyiptic future it follows the serious nature of a man with a mission... Ah who am i kidding, its about some guys and girl in a bar, getting drunk, then going to save the universe and getting drunk again.

Anyhow, thats the plan.

Alex, The bar keep
Alex is the owner and sole staff of "The Poiing Parrot" a small bar, just to the south of several volcanoes. He isn’t a fan of all the war going about, its not good for business after all, and thus has a holo field around his bar, making it impossible to die in it. Of course, it is prone to malfunctions. He has quite a easy going personality, and is not one to say no to a "Pint on the house" despite "the house" being himself. Alex also has had more than his fair share of blows to the head, and believes he actually does have a poiing parrot.


Askaris: The Compulsory Space Elf
Askaris is a mercenary who, through the use of ancient knowledge records (Previously known as the star wars films), has decided that all mercenaries should look for work in a bar. Of course, little did he realize, that bars have alcohol and soon he forgot why he was there to begin with. He is fairly intelligent, if somewhat idiotic at times. He tends to drink a lot but keeps trying to lay it off. He is generally quite serious and has a biting sense of humor. He carries a Tred IP energy Pistol, which fires green lasers, green for purely cosmetic reasons.


Onasuma: Psi-paladin-cheif-of-police-mega-armoured-semi-human
Onasuma has been on the right side of the law for way to long, to such an extent he is completely disillusioned with life, despite this, he still has one of the best paid jobs in the universe. As the police chief of sector 14b, he has 4 score men he can call on anytime, but as long as he's drunk his deputy does all the work. Only one man remains with him, Eboric, (see below). He wears Psion-enhanced VD14 armour, and carries a slightly modified UI3 rifle, his first gun, which has been upgraded to fire psionic bolts created by him as well as standard plasma ammo. He is self centered and possessive, yet does what he needs to when he needs to.


Jessica Adams: The Resident Drunk
Jessica was, in her prime, a great assassin. However since then, she has fallen to a level where going to the toilet is a great trial. Drunk nearly all the time, she is referred to by Alex as his retirement fund. Her favorite poison is the bloody Mary, which is great for her, as people aren’t able to tell if she’s getting drunk or just drinking tomato juice or blood, both being much more accepted than alcohol. She still carries her pistol from her assassin days, but due to its need for absolute precision in order to kill the victim, it is now more often used to open cans of beer.


Eboric: The Redshirt
Eboric is a relatively new member of the space police, and thus still questionlessly obeys orders given to him, with no matter of death making him believe differently. He carries the same basic gun and wears the same armour as Onasuma, yet none of his equipment is upgraded, which is the same as all recruits have for the first 6 years, ignoring the fact that the average life expectancy is 17 weeks. Eboric is generally quiet and is always around when someone needs to die. Due to some problem in the space time continuum he seems to be bound to some act he shall commit and thus always finds himself getting back up .

[Askaris]

First comic should be ready soon... ish. Just as soon as I can work out how to draw a Xenomorph.

[Ichneumon]

First reaction: Oh my god, save us all, yet another webcomic
After actually seeing the art and the people who created it, cool. Art seems good and stuff, I will enjoy reading it. Nice name, Ethanol.

[Nameless]

This looks good!

I'll be reading this.

[Attilargh]

I thought I recognized the formula of ethanol. The art looks really, really good, but you might want to concentrate on your writing. There are a number of typos, and the text doesn't flow very well. For example, what does Askaris's sense of humour have to do with his drinking?

But hey, great art. Post something already!

[Bayar]

This is my new favorit webcomic...simply because the female is from the Half Life 2 beta...and Askaris clashed with the combine a couple of times, not t mention the police uniforms look similar to those from Battlefield 2142 and/or Ghost Recon advanced warfighter (at least the goggles look...)

And because Askaris draws in a ****ing kickass way, that no one can ever emulate !

[Askaris]

YES! Someone recognised the assassin design! And while the uniform wasn't based directly on those games, it may well have been something lurking in my head after playing 2142.


Also Attilargh, as I draw the comics, any script that gets run past me gets a degree of editing for grammar and clarity.

[onasuma]

What he says is the truth. Also, i said i'd run a spellcheck through it and grammar and such, but was told, "no thats fine, Ill get it later"

[vampire2948]

Hey Askaris! I'll be reading this! (cos you're forcing me...)

It looks great!

(apart from onasuma's spelling, which i will be correcting in the most annoying way possible. )

[onasuma]

To slow. Ive already done them!

[Lyinginbedmon]

To slow. Ive already done them!

So, as soul staff, is Alex undead? And what is Eboric "quite"?

[Mr_Saturn]

So what part does Onasuma play? Think tank?

[Bayar]

nah, the noob is the primary meatshield...onasuma is like the platemeat.If it gets past the shield, the armor protects the contents (the other 3 party members)

[Askaris]

So, as soul staff, is Alex undead? And what is Eboric "quite"?

Well, he was a space pirate at some point, hence the eyepatch, tricorn hat, and non-existent parrot. Maybe we could do a Pirates of the Carribbean rip-off...









Or maybe not.




Also, Eboric is the current meat shield. Onasuma probably gets through a lot.

[onasuma]

So, as soul staff, is Alex undead? And what is Eboric "quite"?

Well, at least they are words... Ill change it.

[vampire2948]

I already told you about that mistake, Onasuma.

^^ yay me!


Anyhoo...gimme teh first strip!!

[banjo1985]

Excellent looking art...until we see a full strip that's all I can say. Looking good though, I will watch with interest

[onasuma]

Give us an hour. We'll be done then. As long as ask doesnt have to eat sleep etc.

[Askaris]

Give us an hour. We'll be done then. As long as ask doesnt have to eat sleep etc.

Well, I had to go eat, and now i have to go get washed. Probably this evening.

Ask didnt want to post this to avoid double posting. So here it is.

[vampire2948]

Wow!! That roxxored my soxxorz...slightly.

You don't like budwizer, eh?


^^

Why is the character that is based on me asleep?!! rawr!!

ah well, apart from that....well done Askaris!!

*gives him a cookie*

[Yeril]

Lmao! That was awesome, every panel was awesomly funny

Exept panel 5 that was kinda not awesomly funny.

can't have everything though

Im realy looking forward to seeing more.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Agreed, looking good so far

[Wolfman42666]

Wow amazing artwork in a main setting for a sci-fi I haven't heard of/seen before: A Bar!

[onasuma]

Exept panel 5 that was kinda not awesomly funny.

Thats somewhat of an "in joke" for the person who alex is based off...

[Askaris]

Thank you all for the positive feedback. Also, apologies for the grammatical error in panel 5, that was a bit stupid of me.














Oh, and could someone get Mr. Saturn over here?

[banjo1985]

So far:

Artwork = Awesome, the best I've seen in this style I think.

Plus some decent jokes and a few giggles, the drunken woman seems like my kind of character already

[Ichneumon]

Alright, that was funny. The best introduction I have seen this far of any webcomic ever.

[Nameless]

I can't see anything, it's just white for me

Why do I always have these problems...?

Sorry, couldn't help myself.
