Shards of Siberys - An Eberron webcomic - Page 8

Hacktor · 07-02-2009, 01:39 PM

Old strip is up.

I mean it... :D I did a remake of strips 1 & 2 and ground them into one regular sized strip. Will do the same with all strips up to 9.

I did that because some people seem to judge the comic by the first few strips ...and because of the quality they are missing out on the rest of it.

Also retouched strips #018 and #019 [added a blur effect to the closing eyes\theme\stuff...] I think it looks a lot better now.

So... I'm going back to strip 21 now

. Have fun reading

Any chance of posting the old order of the freak comics ? Those were funny.

Hacktor · 07-02-2009, 10:55 PM

I loved the jokes there but story-wise they were circling the drain since I started Shards of Syberis.. I'll try to work the jokes into the new comics but the old ones as they were will never appear again.

A couple of recommendations though. First, if you could link directly to the latest comic when you post that it's been added to the opening post, that would be helpful, as it removes the need to load another page just to get to the link.

Secondly, if you're already going to upload a 'corrected' version of 19, then I'd personally change Mael's line in the second to last panel from "What am I do..?" to "What am I do—?". (That's an em dash, but you can substitute a double hypen-minus (--), and probably get away with a single (-).) I'm presuming you meant to cut of the last syllable of "What am I doing?" here, as "What am I do?" is incorrect grammar.
"No!..." should probably be "No...!" as well.

sorry Keris Rain :) I had to correct some mistakes in #20 and therefore I had to modify the first post and then I remembered the post with the spoiler... and I had to correct that...

so seing how I upload different strips with every correction it will be killer for me to search the entirety of the comments for strip 10 of 30 etc...

Therefore... I shal not be posting anything else except in the first post.. please don't be mad at me... When you see the "New comic is up" post by me.. just start loading the page and get a sandwich :D

Thank you so much. Will return with 21 shortly

The ellipsis there certainly isn't incorrect. I'm not saying to change it back, because the dash is fine too, but the two symbols are essentially equivalent in this case.

'scool. Having the link in your "new comic" post would be easier for the readers, but if it makes it more difficult for you, then you needn't bother.

Which ellipsis? In the case of "What am I do...?", I suggested an em dash as to me it resembled "What am I do?" with the ellipsis in place, and I felt "What am I do—?" would be less ambiguous.

Ah, yes, fair enough. For some reason I thought you meant something else.

Hacktor · 07-04-2009, 12:41 AM

Hey guys. New comic is up.

memnarch · 07-04-2009, 02:06 AM

And why did he toss third object immediately after throwing the other two? Does he think Lucky has three arms?

Hacktor · 07-04-2009, 02:21 AM

it's a gag :D don't try to understand it :P

Maybe he thought that they would stack in the same slot as if they were ammunition.

Hacktor · 07-04-2009, 03:31 PM

New comic is up.

Why didn't you tell me that photobucket was resizing my images to 80% of their size...

Eldrys · 07-04-2009, 03:35 PM

Hi y'all, I've been lurking around the thread for a while now(because I haven't had anything new to say) and I really like the comic, and... did you just post two comics in a single day?

Hacktor · 07-04-2009, 03:40 PM

Yes.. it's a Saturday. And I don't believe in holding a buffer of comics just so you can update every day... etc...

...and I just realized .. I just updated a comic for every day of the week for one full week...I feel tired.

Is this a record on the forums or something???
No really, has this been done before?

Eldrys · 07-04-2009, 03:44 PM

Yeah I don't think so. You must be the god of comic-making or something.

No way... That's the Giant.. I just work fast. :P

Nah, he's the god of quality entertainment.

I think Neo pulled it off before with aPtGG. He went a blinding speed at first (having just checked, he got 20 comics out in his first week, averaging just under 3 a day), but has slowed down recently, due to RL issues, and has now dropped down to hiatus status.

Anyway, nice couple of comics!

T-O-E · 07-04-2009, 04:01 PM

A Path to Greater Good.
Anti-Heroes.
My Name Is Q.

The ones that come to mind. There are probably more.
Sorry.

Hacktor · 07-04-2009, 05:09 PM

Nah... I was just joking around :) There are a lot of hard working people here :D
Hope to keep it up:P

Bayar · 07-05-2009, 05:08 AM

Breland bear cavalry. How can you NOT love the Eberron setting ?

Hacktor · 07-05-2009, 02:38 PM

Sorry people... today's me and my girlfriend's anniversary so I did not have time for comic making.

I'l get right back on that horse as soon as I can...

Thank you all for your patience.

First date ? The day they met ? Do you really care ?

Oh, and around here, we call our girlfriends 'wives'.

Hacktor · 07-05-2009, 03:12 PM

Ya .. aniversary of the first day we were officially together... 4 years ago today

...

Plus we live together. so we're just about as married as you can get without actually signing the damn thing

Best not dwell on it to much :P

Bulette. We always make fun of those in our gaming group because the same spelling is used for a German word for meat balls.

Hacktor · 07-06-2009, 11:53 AM

I retouched comic #009 a bit and uploaded a new version... Ever since Bayar pointed it out Lucky's eyes have been spooking me :P ...

In other news. I'm going to be getting a lot of help with the text from Tenshiro. I'll focus on the drawing and Tenshiro will focus on conveying what I want the characters to say :D let's hope he does a good job. :D
