To kakarotto63: That was the weirdest freaking comment ever. No offense dude but you tried way too hard to be "hip." I get that it's a manga now. Probably should've mentioned that in your description. Good sprite work, though.
I never forgot about you, it seemed like we lost contact. Because you stopped posting on youtube or something. Plus this is practically the only place we actually chat.
and don't get me wrong, i don't think it was bad, it just felt a tad too serious, and just wasn't quite my style. i've seen better sprite animations, is all.
and he better live, godammit! *shaking fist violently*
checked out power star, here's my review (since you're obviously so concerned with my opinion):
eh, it's not that good. the story was pretty lame and not very creative. the scripting and soundtrack made it seem like it was taking itself too seriously. the music was not well selected, whenever a major fight scene started, some dark, emo crap starts up, giving the scene a lame amv feeling. the voice actor for luigi wasn't very impressive. i'm immature, and i like happy endings. this did not have a happy ending, which made me sad. i liked when he brutally murdered peach, but kill off luigi, and in my books, you've gone too far. also, why didn't bowser show up? he's a star player in the mario-verse, and could've added an extra cool element to the story. the fight scenes, while very pretty, with nice animations and some excellent choreography, as well as a few really nice shots, felt kind of repetitive, and just weren't extreme enough for my tastes.
overall, it had some moments of awesomeness, but just felt like it was trying to be darker than it should be, and just didn't really make me care about what was going on.
super mario bros z, however, while having some lame crossover elements, had a sense of style, humour, and extreme-ness that, in my opinion, exceeds power star. it also has a style of storytelling that draws you in more, even if most of the scripting could use some work. it puts an extreme action anime twist on a lot of classic mario and sonic themes, and is just overall a more exciting spectacle.
no no, not offended, just tryin' to help you out with fair warning. goin' around, calling people "home dawg" on the internet, not gonna give a very good first impression...
*sigh*
please don't talk like that. anyways, 's going pretty good, just uploaded my 100th picture to deviantart. and i'm gonna try working on some comics in a bit.
sorry i couldn't fight dude, it's really tricky to sync up our online times. also, i don't think the extra views had to do with me, i think it might be because there's only, like, 40 zelda comics on this site, and there's hundreds of mario comics.
sorry, dude. i know you're young and you don't quite get the etiquette of this stuff yet, but you don't tell people to rate and comment. you just present your stuff, and enjoy the comments and rates as they come. (don't get me wrong, i like your comics, i'm just warning you so you don't potentially annoy some people)
anyways, wanna go battle? bt3 or brawl?
that just seems too bad about woa. hey, it's your decision, i won't argue.
also, not to sound like i'm stealing your idea, but i just think it's a really cool idea, so i might start something like that myself...
just f.y.i.: i don't really use my youtube account anymore, i don't really make anymore videos (yet). i mostly just watch stuff, so don't expect to see anything new on there any time soon.
read a few pages, just read a few more. looking good so far. as for how i draw, i've been practicing for twelve years, i recently became a big zelda fan, so i copied what i could see from twilight princess.
Hey, seen your comment on xVegitox's profile, I think the reason dd is quiet just now is that a lot of people have either coursework or exams just now. It will get a lot busier again over the summer
yes, i have played all but 2 of the games. majora is my second favorite, while the first is twilight princess. ocarina is overrated, but still freakin' awesome!
Probably because its a comic hosting site. You gotta have a really good comic that your feeling into. But I got my momentum back so ima start updating again!
Darkspine sonic to me was the most fun and cool part of the game. I loved the way he looks his hair and everything looks pretty dam cool. I also like his fighting abilities, more sonic games need that twist to it.
psshh, I don't really write scripts if feel like i have to stick to the scrpit even if I have a better Idea, I plan how I want the comic to begain and end
You and your ninjas. Well I always try my best to look as appealing to me as the audience y'kno. Like if I create a character which doesn't cool then, well he wont be featured in the comic. Personally I think you can become a better comic maker then me. And I'm actually serious about that. Because you kinda remind me of me when I started to post my first comic on drunkduck (Bolt the hedgehog). At first he was a recolour, but then I made his quills longer so he would stand out. So over the course of time I practiced making characters. As I remade chracters I remade my comic into something new and better, its called The Chaos Chronicles. Now people actually read it because I jsut push my limits to make myself better.
You have a cool character, who definatley needs a cooler look. I'm positive you can do it. I'm also positive in the future you will realize the same thing as me and make your character better. Your story is really cool (the whole emerald mutation thing). Now if you just go back now start to practice making edits to hair and stuff you'll be surprise with what you get. I know I was when I first did.
Sorry for the bulge of text I felt it was useful to you. Lol you and your neenjas >.>
Yea true. WOah another new comic? Holy you make alotta these. The digi comic is going well.
I have a suggestion why not write a script for your comic, so then you just refer to it to make issues. It kinda increases your chances of your comic rate of staying alive.
I'm sure you are a very decent guy, but the thing is that you are 11yrs old and my mature rating means that people your age should not be able to see my pages!!lol Your mail has a TIKI problem. something Admin can only sort out!!
Sorry Brandon, I'm not used to talking through the comments section!! It's really weird cos you are able to read a mature comic yet not talk in PQ's! I have deleted some of the comments as they were just chat. I've answered them all tho!!!!!
Hi Brandon, I just realised that I can't PQ you!! I really like the strip you are turning out, and I'm impressed by the amount of effort and enthusiasm you put into it. Don't let other people put you off, you're doing okay!
Personally I don't really like the new one. It doesn't look appealing. But thats just me. I prefer the advance sprites, but I mean thats my input. I mean some other people may like it alot.
Dude, I'm not calling you a noob, I'm just saying when you don't spell, and use grammer correctly, you sound like a noob, please not take it the wrong way I'm just trying to help you out man!
Heh heh thanks. I think its probably my best works yet! I like the digi comic more, I put more effort into it. Like I wrote up a script and everything.
uh No he said it makes you look Noobish. He never called you anything. You always should be happy when someone gives you valuable advice. Its the only way you grow to improve. How do you think I got good? I used to terrible at comics, people told me I should get a life. Told I suck. But no you take in the comments that are actually useful and use them to your advantage. Don't worry you havent gotten "insulted" yet. =D besides if anything I'll have your back.
Hopefully my comic can show you why I like it so much. =D. Oh boy I wish u had wifi. Cause then you could get Digimon World Dawn/Dusk for DS and we could battle!
hey brandon u dont have to approve this commit but if u want to u can make a stardoll its alot like this ecept its not JUST a commic site and on there u can email me
Uh I suggest sticking to the GBA ones perosnally. I mean they look better more shading, don't do anything to ruin ur comic pls. The story is interesting I don't want you to do something drastic lol. ZOMG im close to getting photoshop CS3
I have gimp too, but I haven't used it to make any comics, just avatars and backgrounds. Ya the stages are really crazy. Atleast in unleashed they finally made the perfect speed system. I bet if they worked harder on the werehog engine, the game would of came out much better. Sega really needs to step it up!
For now what keeps me busy is my digimon world dawn game for DS. Amazingly fun rpg, really addicting and nice graphics.
Yo download Paint.Net thats what I'm using, I can show you how to do some really cool things with it =D. Yea I have sonic unleashed sadly though I kinda got bored of it.
In Sonic and the black knight, sonic stays normal right, but then is covered in golden armour. It looks really wicked, thats the main reason why I want the game.
Yea, I kno about the secret rings cause I have the game. And actually the golden armour is supposed to be like super sonic, but midevil style pretty neat huh?
I can read all of your comments fine without aproving them, and I don't want other people listening to my conversation. You kinda want to prove your self like I wanted to. A guy once told me i had to spriting ability, I set to prove him wrong. Now he admits I'm BETTER than him. Don't give up and do your best. ;D
Do you have a photo bucket or image shack acount? You can upload images there, and link me directly to them. Or, I could edit the sprites for you. I know a quick and easy way to recouler something.
Your honestly taking that one comic a bit too seriously, it is kind off a harsh way to critique but there is some valuable information in it. Like the part of changing his look a bit (thats what most ppl have been telling you since the start including me).
Its an alright custom sprite, I will not vote. You just gotta polish up the shading so it looks more natural =D
1. Not everyone on this site hates you, your overreacting.
2.As cruel as the dude's comment maybe it does provide a little bit of advice. I've been telling you since the start change bleak's look or else ppl will come down on you hard. I mean its a matter of time before a harsh critique comes by right?
3.Ask and think to yourself honestly about your comic.
We all used to make recolours but its how you improve on your comic that matters. I used to have bad comic skills (I probably still do), but it's those little things that you improve on which will make you better. Honestly are you gonna quit just cause some random user feels like downing on your comic?
No prob I think you have lots of potential. Like ur character honestly has a very special concept, you just need to touch up bleaks look and trust me. Make some better camera angles and ur done. U have a sicker comic.
Don't start making dozens of comics randomly. Make sure you have an idea of what its going to be about, then make it. Making a comic and not knowing what its future will be isnt the best idea. Yea nice new page and avy
It takes a while to make sprite sheets, but if you're really commited to your comic its best you do it. Like with a sheet it makes things easier. Just in your spare time start making poses its not THAT hard. Even I make sheets for my character's I mean its only essential. You'll end up doing more work having to recoulour each time u paste a sprite and then edit it, its better to just make a sheet.
Oh thats terrible! I hope you get better though. I think for bleak the hedgehog you should redesign him and his other forms. That way your sprites can look better. And soon I'm gonna make that tutorial comic.
Lol I had already told you that Bolt the hedgehog comic was already dead. And glad to see your back, hey as long as you reply to my comments its all good =D
I would kinda end up making the sheet for you in that case =/. Just please try to make a sheet if you want a cameo. Cause I got my own sprites to make.
I will only send u my sprites because ur my friend and I know you will keep them too yourself and not give them to ther ppl anyways. I was just asking because maybe u dont feel like making alot of other characters.
I really like the tenkachi series though the fighting system is too simple. Thats why I kinda prefer the budokai's too bad the budokai's have less specials. Y'kno the should use the Tenkachi 3 graphics in a sideways new budokai game for wii with wifi. That would be pure awesomeness.
Yeah ur new comic is awesome. When u get better you can start making some really cool editing sprites. But yeah your definatley getting the hang of things man.
Well, I couldn't smash your dreams of being a sprite artist, plus it's a good recolor. It's your first time and I understand, unlike some people on here who will harass you for it. I look forward to see the next pages of your comic!
Hmm, I can't really tell you what comics to make. I suggest thinking of your own story, and maybe making some new characters. Uhm, as for partners I don't think it would really work out. Thanks for the offer though.
Pretty much depends like when im playing a video game like right now I won't be as active. But i'll try my best. U have MSN? add me gundamkid_555@hotmail.com.
Oh I just grew up with DBZ so pretty much the reason why I like it so much. Hey do you know where I can get some like kamehameha and energy blast sprites, I having a hard time finding some good ones. I also lost some of my sprites >=(
Yipes you left me with alot of comics. Bolt the hedgehog is a dead comic. It was my very first one but wasn't too great. So I thought up some stuff, and made The Chaos Chronicles. I wanted to make a more fun comic so thats the gist of it. Except PQs so we can talk on MSN or sumthing.
Well, thanks for the add. To be honest, I almost never add friends unless they add me first! ^^
But about the backgrounds, HFIL could have a background too. Just sayin.
Same here, its a really good game. And for you DBZ comic when you want your characters mouths look like they're opening just do a darkred line and a red line underneath it. Creates the illusion of open mouths.
Well u kno wut u shud do is. Make a black box. White on the inside. Then paste it on the part of the background you want to focus on. That way you get your basic panel size. And I know you hate me saying this but, you gotta use captital letters. Let people know you mean business. If you want I can also make some Paint tutorials too.
I also talk to ppl through PM. The thing is reason why ppl don't talk to us yet is cause they haven't added us as a friend back. Like you can add someone but they must add you back b4 they can post a comment i think.
I know. Takes me long cause they are custom sprites so I have to make the poses. Then from there i have to get a background template for the comic. After thats done I actually start. But yeah nice mario comic.
Sure I'll take the sprites. Yes continue you it and follow my advice. Its gonna be a comic about my sonic character. I almost done with the sprite editing im doing. =D
