Return to Normality

[Kane]

Anyone remember that comic I said I was going to be makeing (Or trying to anyway)?

Well, here's a link if ya don't.

Anyway, i've got the first part done. The pages are a bit big, so i'll just post the link to 'em.








And that's the first part. Don't know how many parts i'll make, but I figured that the intro is better then nothing.

This is the real true story of rock and roll; it was not about anything more then, how to live your life, as a gangster, in sartorial splendor, and turning the world into a place where normality would never return again...- Malcolm McLaren

It's looking good Kane. The Half-life 2 engine seems to be pretty excellent for machinima, it will be interesting to see where this story goes :0)

A couple of points of creative criticism (if you don't mind, of course) - maybe try a different font, all the windows default ones are quite ugly especially for comics. A very good source for some font styles to give it a more professional look are available from Blambot.com, I believe quite a few free ones are offered. And the other thing was frame edges, it can be difficult to see where one picture ends and another begins when there's an abundance of dark colours. Perhaps try outlining every other frame, or just the inset ones with a thin white border to make it really stand out.

Hope that helps, I'm anticipating how this develops and unfolds in future installments :0)

Nice.
Also, try to use rounded dialog boxes... Those look nicer...

Looking into returning, maybe.

[Kane]

Well, it was my first comic ever, and the thing was edited and produced with Paint... :$

Yeah, i'll be looking into different picture editors in the future. Might even port the pics over to my Mac and use on of the editors over there.

Darkness is a friend, an ally. Darkness allows us to understand others, to see what they value when they believe no one else is looking. It allows us to be honest with ourselves, to express those values that we would disavow in the light. The light blinds us. It is only in the dark that we see clearly, and there is a great dark hidden among these worlds

Awaiting next episode Mr. Kane...

If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God? - from 'Nightfall' by I. Asimov
The Outcasts consider Siniestre Nube a sacred place for several reasons. Early explorers discovered a jumphole within the depths of the cloud that leads to a strange world of ringed stars and strange craft. All ships in the burrial ground are placed facing that hole to honor the Alien Spirits. - An Outcast rumor

[Kane]

Hmm... Your right Gezza. Imageshack seems to be a bit slow in showing these things. Might have to find a different host for 'em.

As for the next episode, expect it... sometime. I work on these as an on-off kinda thing. Sometimes I feel like doing it, sometimes I don't. It varies.
