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. :glad:

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. :confused:

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.

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)
Posted 17 years ago2007-05-27 08:41:29 UTC Post #223583
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. ;)

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..

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! :)

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

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