Hmm well my first suggestion is download Gimp to convert to 100 jpg.
Second is you use the console command to remove the text on the right hand corner.
Third is perhaps make a more interesting storyline.
Ok I guess but I might as well say for everyone: How many comics does TWHL need!?

People can make as many comics as they want, aslong as people give them helpful tips on how to better them or actuall decent remarks, i have no problem!
halo4life: Better posing and image quality is really needed, borders, and smooth text for instance. Look at Ansith's thread when he wanted to learn about comics, there's some really helpful hints in there.

Thanks for all the comments! I'll try and do better next time. And I've seen funny comics in gm_construct.
Heres a better quality one: http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/4455/gmod5zo.jpg
If I convert to png it will be to big to upload.

Well, you could use it to practice your speech bubbles and whatnot. What program are you using to edit the images?

Why 6? 7 or CS2 ftw.
As for the comic, it's pretty... err... bland. I mean, pretty crappy posing, awful plot, and I have no clue what's going on when the car suddenly flies away.

Photoshop costs $800 or something crazy like that. Just download it, jeez.

Post #186122
all your paying for in the new versions are a few weird features you'll never use and some fancy filters that you can easily replicate with brushes. bug fixes too i bet.
other than that, most photoshops are the same.
Nice comic BTW, i think it would be better if you used nothgin but emotes for dialogue. seems that way anyhow.

Yes, but you shouldn't use 6. I used both CS and 7 ME(I lost my CS disc(or files, not sure I had a disc 
) and pormated my computer) and they are very good.
If you really like I still have 5.5 somewhere... can save you those 20$...

Thank Jesus I ahem 'bought' PSP 7.0...
Ok Gimp will do for resizing jobs etc but if you want to make professional comics then use PSP...You've let yourself enter a difficult and timeusing hobby so if you think you are able to spend an hour or so (maybe more) working on a comic then may I suggest you go on Zombie's website for comic tips and we'll see from there.

i love photoshop for so many reasons including
1) awsome and plentiful online tutorials
2) the liquify tool
3) the ability to create custom fill patterns and brushes with ease
4) the feather tool.
5) the cloning tool

Adobe photoshop is more userfriendly and has a huge (much bigger than GIMP will ever have, believe me) tutorial database.
Preset speech bubbles?
I don't see any reason for me to use Photoshop. It's free, that's it's only perk, and there are ways of getting around that.

please, stop, please
terrible compression again, try reducing the image size and lowering the compression ratio and chrominance to 1:1:1
the posing is really poor, especially in the last two frames
go look how speech bubbles are done in a proper comic and fgs ANTIALIAS THEM!
please tell me how the first comic fits into this one

wtf is wrong with quality? I thought I did good on quality.
wtf? The first Gman's Life fits in perfectly with this one.
Sorry to revive this thread. I was away yesterday. Can we just close it now?

You could have made the second one a bit more funny. Instead of the Gman's job is staring at computers, make it staring at people... but thats a bit old... isn't it?
