Would certainly make sense given that he has no idea who the princess is.

[Emperor Ing]

Because between Rand, Marnia, and the few NPCs you've seen throughout the comic, they are in fact the only members of their species in the entire world.

Comic 320 is up. Marnia vs Serg. And I suck at writing puns.

Also, new Metroid: Consternation comic. It might just be a little bit of me showing off some of the more advanced sprites I made for Omega but I think it's funny.

Also Memn, you still think that spriting is lazy?

Questions? Comments? Critique?

[memnarch]

Yes. The exceptions being comics/artists who make their own sprites, like yourself and Neoriceisgood for example.


Oh hey, have we seen the hammer from this side before? (hit into wall)

Also, a tip for puns, if you don't force it, it's a good pun. The wall pun seems a bit forced to me.

[Emperor Ing]

Believe it or not there's actually people that really suck at it.

Comic 321 is up. 12-paneller with an interesting arrangement.

Questions? Comments? Critique?

[memnarch]

Suck at making their own sprites or suck at making sprite comics? Because I put just recolouring sprites at the bottom of the list. Even if a person makes crappy sprites, at least they made it themselves. (sidenote; best sprite comic I've ever read is Kid Radd. So old, the website that had it is gone.)


AH! So that's why Rand snuck out; he wanted sleep!

[Emperor Ing]

Sometimes both. Ya know, you'd think that making a sprite comic would be a no-brainer, especially if you have the sprites readily available, yet somehow, one way or another, someone skrews it up spectacularly. (Comic not by me)

Comic 321 is fixed. The bottom panels are replaced with 3 different ones I think suit the comic better.

The old 4 panels will be used as the first panels in 322, so think of 'em as a preview.

Questions? Comments? Critique?

[memnarch]

I think that works a lot better as well.


As for that sprite comic, that one is probably the worst I've ever seen. Three panels of pretty much nonsense and only the first two are remotely tied together.

[MaxMax]

I read the whole story in a week, I like it. Good job.
For critic, sometimes you go too quick with abrupt transition, it's hard to understand what happen between two panels.

Go Powers burn heretics !

[Emperor Ing]

Considering the slow progression of the comic i'd say sometimes it's easy to just do abrupt jaunts, but usually, like in the latest comic, I try to limit them to when it's pretty obvious what happened in between panels.

Comic 322 is up. The first 4 panels might seem familiar....

Questions? Comments? Critique?

[Emperor Ing]

0 Comments? That's not a good sign at all.

Comic 323 is up.

Questions? Comments? Critique? Lack therof?

[memnarch]

Whoa, when did you update?? Obviously at the posted time, but I didn't catch it in the subscribed thread updates.

322; I think the phrase "What the hell, who am I talking to anyway?" would be better written as "What the hell, why am I talking to you anyway?" or "What the hell, why am I trying to talk to you anyway?"

323; bet you had fun making panel 5. Also, panel 9; WTH?

[Emperor Ing]

Hmm, Minister Malack, sound like any other politicans in any other OotS-style comics you know? Say...any Princesses?

Comic 324 is done. I had fun making this one.

Questions? Comments? Critique?

[Emperor Ing]

No comments again? Well if that's not encouraging I don't know what is.

Comic 325

Questions? Comments? Critique?

[Hyoumu Yau]

It's just too awesome to be criticized in any may

[memnarch]

Hm. The internetz haz eaten my replyz.

324; Speech bubble errors in panel 2. I also don't get why the comic was made in the first place. Some what funny though.

325; New background decorations are nice. Also, wonder if Rand is going to be able to talk his way out without getting hurt.

[Emperor Ing]

In the mean time, because I had this idea for a comic floating around...

New Metroid Consternation Comic.

Questions? Comments? Critque?

[Emperor Ing]

Meh, I guess the majority of my 5 comic readers and me don't really follow the same stuff, like the Metroid series. =_=

Comic 326 is up. Hey quick question, because i'm too lazy to look up my comics did I, per chance, name the metadragon robot dude yet?

Questions? Comments? Critique? Name?

[Green-Shirt Q]

For the record, I thought your most recent Metroid comic was quite funny.

As for the name, I really thought that the ARTIST would at least know what their characters' names are even if the audience doesn't know!

But still, I too am too lazy to do research, but I still don't remember him being named. I suggest ROD, or Robot Operating Dragon.

"Now you're playing with Arcane Power!"

[memnarch]

I don't care that much for Metroid fan comics is all, sorry to say.


Also, I don't believe you have named him. I would hope you can think of something better than "ROD" and more fitting with the setting.

[Emperor Ing]

The best I can do is explain the setting in the comic to the best of my ability so everyone can understand what's going on, as well as point to this thing and say "Zoomer."

Comic 327 is up. Marnia's got a little sadistic side.

Also, good to know he's not named yet. He's already got a backstory (Hint: All characters are more than meets the eye) so he won't be given a unit number or code name as a name.

I used to hate that song too. Though I actually kinda like it after I saw this video.

[memnarch]

I read the comic, thought about Q's post a bit and hoped it was the Muppet version.




Comic was cheesy in the middle, but I think that's what you were aiming for right?

[Forum Explorer]

I can't remember exactly which song that is but I think that's one of my faviote songs.

[sean o the dead]

that's an epic song! i resent the use of it as a torture device!

[Emperor Ing]

You can only hear the song so many hundreds of times before you come to absolutely despise a song you never really liked in the first place.

Comic 328 is up. And because I feel that this is the best place for it, Chapter 6 is done. Chapter 7: A Final Peace will begin next wednesday.

Also, during the traditional haitus, I WANT TO ACTUALLY GET QUESTIONS SO I CAN DRAW THE GODDAMN ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL!!! So if you have questions to the characters about themselves or just random questions you wanna see...say...Major Powers answer, please ask! I WANNA DRAW IT, EVEN THOUGH ITS 5 MONTHS LATE!!!

Questions? Comments? Critique?

[Green-Shirt Q]

Alright. So, here's my question.

Dear Rand:

"Rand, I bet you wouldn't be so damn TOUGH in random kills if you didn't have your fancy sissy MAGIC!

You can go ahead and call yourself king of the random kills. But until you demonstrate that you can kill without parlor tricks like lasers, I have no respect for you.

So I propose a duel! With nothing but our bare fists! In the ABR art thread, IT WILL BE ULTIMATE WAR!

So I guess the question I'm asking is...ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH TO TAKE ME IN AN UNARMED, NO MAGIC BRAWL?!

If not, I declare you CHICKEN FOR LIFE!

Yours truely
-(Redshirt) Q."

[memnarch]

Hm, pretty good scene between father and.... adopted daughter.


A general double question for all; What's your favorite webcomic and why?

If I need to specify characters, then I'll pick the Archduck Archduke, The King, and Powers.

[Fay Graydon]

Hey Rand...
You been South Parked

Spoiler

I was really bored >.>

[Emperor Ing]

Oh hai. Haitus is up and I made something.

Anniversary Special 2 is up. Horray for 100% Unscripted comic storyline!

Next canon comic coming soon, 4 panels already done.

Questions? Comments? Critique?

[memnarch]

Funny comic!


Last panel; Torn didn't say anything, why is Kayl saying that Torn lied?
