I saw the title and my first thought was Sgt. Pepper.

Looks good so far.

Szilard · 01-29-2008, 09:58 PM

I just heard about this in the ABR thread. Can't say much about this webcomic right now, but I'll read it.

Shades of Gray · 01-29-2008, 10:04 PM

Who's Sgt. Pepper?

Anyway, I think I need a better name if it makes people think of somebody named Sgt. Pepper...

Maulrus · 01-29-2008, 10:06 PM

It's a Beatles album. One of the lines in the titular song goes, "It was twenty years ago today/Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play." The title me of that line.

JasonDoomsblade · 01-29-2008, 10:45 PM

I look forward to reading this.

Maulrus · 01-29-2008, 10:47 PM

Some of the speech bubbles are sort of off a little bit.

Shades of Gray · 01-29-2008, 10:54 PM

Yeah, to tell the truth, this is my first time using bubbles. Most of the time I drew rectangles and pointed with lines from the person to the bubble, I will fix those.

Also, it's my first comic using multiple fingers.

Maulrus · 01-29-2008, 10:57 PM

Just in case you didn't know, the Union tool is best for speech bubbles if you're using Inkscape.

Shades of Gray · 01-30-2008, 05:49 PM

Well loyal ~~Shaddow Addict~~ fans. Here's the second intro comic.

Page 2: Come join the party

Spoiler

Note: These aren't the main characters, they are only gonig to be in the intro/flashback.

JasonDoomsblade · 01-30-2008, 05:55 PM

Heh. Emo Necromancer.

Lyinginbedmon · 01-30-2008, 06:47 PM

Oddly enough, I identify most with the last guy, the young grandfather.

Shades of Gray · 01-30-2008, 07:31 PM

He's not a young grandfather. This is happening 50 years in the past. So he appears young in the flashback.

Lyinginbedmon · 01-30-2008, 07:56 PM

I know, but I can't quite call him a grandfather because we've only seen him as a young man, but I can't quite call him young because we know he's a grandfather...

XiaoTie · 01-30-2008, 07:56 PM

Looking forward to see more of Tim

. Oh, facepalm made me laugh out loud

Szilard · 01-30-2008, 09:40 PM

So the dad is telling the son a story about the grandfather?

Shades of Gray · 01-30-2008, 09:46 PM

Yes-ish.

The story is of the invasion of their village. The story's relevance to him is that his grandpa was involved.

Phae Nymna · 01-31-2008, 08:24 AM

I really like it! Thanks for the interest in The Time Warp Jubilee too. As you do more of these, I've got to say that it's getting better all the time. (Sorry! I really wanted to make more Sgt. Pepper references. Please forgive me!)

Shades of Gray · 01-31-2008, 10:04 PM

Comic 3: They sure are tough

Spoiler

I edited the first two comics as well, just minor detail changes. I made the speech bubbles better. I also made the town more impressive looking.

remember, this is the intro, these aren't the main characters.

Szilard · 01-31-2008, 10:11 PM

I wonder who the main characters are?

Shades of Gray · 01-31-2008, 10:18 PM

I have 4 so far. However I can't reveal them because "shh it's a secret".

You can however see the main character that's already been posted.

<name>
Human CG Rogue/Ranger.
Age: 21.

Problem is, I stink at naming. Any Ideas? I was thinking Eric or something like that.

Szilard · 01-31-2008, 10:27 PM

How about Harold Kudeb?

Sneak · 01-31-2008, 10:46 PM

Erek? Arek? Arik? Erik? Errek? Arrek? Arrik? Aeric? Aerrick? Errick? Arrick?

...

Eric?

Szilard · 01-31-2008, 10:49 PM

Erik, Arik, Arick, Arock, Irock, Iraq. How did I get there?

Shades of Gray · 02-01-2008, 11:19 AM

I think I'll go with Aerik.

also, here's a sneak preview of 4 of the eventual 6 party members.

Szilard · 02-01-2008, 11:21 AM

I get it now, i think I know what is going to happen!

Spoiler

Shades of Gray · 02-01-2008, 11:27 AM

Almost. Only 2 of those four know the story.

The guy with the jacket is Chaleb's Grand Nephew (or is it great nephew?)

And no, they'll be fighting original villains, not Lord Kyros.

Nameless · 02-01-2008, 11:30 AM

This is pretty good so far

Heh, he looks like the avatar you made for Thymin to represent Dravick, except minus the lute and bow.
