Default Bloodfire; the comic [page 5 up]
This is Bloodfire, an OoTS-style, DnD-based comic. The action takes place into the homebrew world of Theneria, a place much like but at the same time very different than the Forgotten Realms.
The standard DnD races and monsters pretty much fill the world but Theneria is a wilder place; large cities are far between, monsters are more numerous, adventurers are rarer and the humanoid races have, for the past millenium, been recovering from a Great War that nearly wiped them out.
In this world, four emerging heroes will run a race against the sands of time to ensure a Big Bad Profecy doesn't come to pass. Bear with me; it's far less chiche than it sounds.

Warning: Humor will usually extend beyond the DnD universe. So no, the blond, pink-wreathed, sword-bearing dude is not a caricature of any DnD character.

Additional Warning: I'm a stats-nut; I even have sheets for my characters. So feel free to engage in level/stat geekery.

I'm not really sure... She wouldn't get the thread approved since she doesn't have any comic... This sounds more like a warm up for a comic yet to come.

Also, please put the comic in a spoiler, it's all streen-stretchy as it is.

OK, reduced the comic size a bit; I want to be keeping the last page unspoilered.

Any comments on art and writing style yet? This is my first attempt at a comic and I want to improve.

Dunno what's going on with the text. It looks just right in Inkscape but when I export as bitmap and put up at photobucket, it ends up fuzzy and hard to read.

Contrary to the common misconception, making a stick comic isn't that easy. Case in point, page 4: Four thousand one hundred and eleven objects.

Or maybe I'm just doing something wrong.

Cool. The text is still a bit small, but I think it's better(?).


And as said, please spoiler it.

Balial, I like it so far. If you'd like, I can try to help you get the quality up a bit higher, to the level of my strip. (Not that mine are that much better, mind you; if you saw my first-ever comic, you'd feel much better about your own.)

I think I'm getting the hang of it. Actually making the comic larger vastly improves readability and I'm getting better at the stick-figure thing, too.
