:D! goodie

great

Heh, neat.

I think my workmates are wondering why i'm smirking right now. D:

Actually pretty funny. There's a few typos in there and I think you should make the slipping motion a bit more obvious, but aside from that I quite liked it.

Glad you all liked it.

Trapt: Guess some motion blur or something would've added some realism to the slip.. And yeah, just noticed some typos here and there.. Better fix those.

Anyways - this isn't updated that often, as you've probably noticed.. It's getting harder and harder to think of a decent story for a new issue. Stay tuned, though.

It's pretty clear who to use. I'm just having a hard time making up the situations they get involved in.

Those are really good, pretty funny - keep em going Daub!

Fantastic! I liked the alternate scientist, how/where did you make/download it?

EDIT: Was it a reskin of Rosenburg?

Yeah, the first sci was a reskin of Rosenberg.
Both of them were hostage skins from HL:HS.

Awesome Daubster, make more!!!!!!!

Thanks for the reply! I have another question:

How did you get the characters into the positions you wanted? Did you use photoshop? (I'm talking about the latest comic)

I always pose the models in HLMV and then blend them in witn Photoshop (cropping/resizing and hue/saturation, brightness/contrast changes to fit the lighting).

Tried using MetaMod for posing, but never managed to get it up and running right.

Dedicated to one of my favourite scientist phrases in HL: "Do you know who ate all the donuts?"
.. well now you know. mesatimes.awardspace.com under construction.

Most of you are probably 'Wtf?' by now. Well, I was thinking of a logical way as to who/why anyone would steal donuts, but failed. (Otis stealing them would be way too obivious and maybe a bit cliche too) So, as usual, I took a ride with noclip on through Black Mesa Inbound to get some inspiration. Then it hit me. It was a ridiculous idea, though for some reason - I liked it. Glad it came out as one of those "little stories", that were never meant to be told in original HL in the end.

Too bad it missed TMT's birthday, though..
6 comics in a year. Slowpoke is slow. D:

AWESOME!!!!

And that folds in on the HL:OIFH mod story as well! He's going to steal all the toiletpaper! ROFL!

Hoshi-
You noticed. D:

Hehe, not bad

I didn't found it funny, I was more like 'what the..?'.

very good, as per. Got a chuckle =]

Only thing i dont like is the speech bubble positioning in panel 2. We read top to bottom, so i read the reply before the question.

Yeah me too. My only criticism would be that speech bubble placement is a bit off in places.

Damn good, and great poses... considering the lack of Physics Gun!

Haha, Neato!

YOU SAID TWAT IN THE FIRST COMIC

Thanks for the comments.

True, this issue wasn't very strong with the funnies.

Yeah, that'll need fixing for the final releases. Thanks for pointing it out.
