Well, not sure if this will work...

I was looking at those comics you were making... decided to try and make a more serious one.

This is my first attempt, so be NICE ;)

I can see it though!!!

:furious:

Im looking at it right now!!!

I can't figure this out... :nervous: :furious:
Posted 18 years ago2005-12-11 16:45:36 UTC Post #151734
I can see it.
Posted 18 years ago2005-12-11 16:46:03 UTC Post #151736
I can see it with opera! ;) It's horrebly pixilated and it's not funny... good thing that you don't blur everything... :aghast:
Posted 18 years ago2005-12-11 16:50:38 UTC Post #151741
Use better graphic settings for taking screenshots. Even the game runs slow, the comic will look much better.
Posted 18 years ago2005-12-11 16:58:21 UTC Post #151743
wierd...

It looks fine to me.

oh, and its not suppose to be funny...

You really can't follow that? The dude's a normal truck driver dude, is stuck out on the highway... Sees a vehicle crash into a power line, crawls up the cliff to see, where he finds a half-Dead combine....

Is it really that bad?

The last picture is the only one that looks pixilated to me, and thats because I took it while I was in the distance... I think I cropped a little too much on that one...
Posted 18 years ago2005-12-11 17:01:10 UTC Post #151744
AH! AHHHH! AHHHHHHH!
Now that that scare is over...Ahem

Bloody nora that quality needs fixing!!! Only reason mine was bad-ish was because I had to save it as jpg :

The um bubbles are well um ok but not good, not professional if you get me and the text font doesn't help.

Try downloading cartoon fonts, Hunter helped me and gave me this link:

http://www.highfonts.com/fontsearch.asp?f=0&ord=comic

Some of those poses are good, I know posing is hard and I often give up myself but try harder ;)

Uhm apart from that not so bad, the story is very mysterious, i'm curious to see how it continues.

Looks in opera.

Nope, still can't see it. Use a different image host please? :).
Posted 18 years ago2005-12-11 17:40:47 UTC Post #151754
um, this is a .jpg

I still don't see how its bad quality...
Posted 18 years ago2005-12-11 17:42:37 UTC Post #151755
It looks horrible. can't say much about the plot since it's the first one
Posted 18 years ago2005-12-11 17:45:21 UTC Post #151757
Oh, can see it now. Pissing christ. That looks awful.

First of all: Get a decent image editing program. That's obviously MSpaint work.. begone!

Second, graphics? Looks like you're lowing on the lowest detail level possible... raise it.

Third, text is hardly visible at times. Again, use a better program - 100-quality jpg please.
Posted 18 years ago2005-12-11 17:46:26 UTC Post #151758
It's not a jpg problem, the textures ingame are set to low quality. That's why it looks bad. Also, the screenshots appear to have been taken on 640x480 ...
Posted 18 years ago2005-12-11 18:22:35 UTC Post #151774
Random capital Letters make stuff more Difficult to read.

Anti-alias text, and use a clearer and consistent font.

Turn up your graphics settings.

heh,

My comp can't handel the graphics...

I'm using Adobe Illustrator by the way...
Posted 18 years ago2005-12-11 19:38:25 UTC Post #151803
What do you mean your comp can't handle the graphics? Does it actually prevent you from turning the texture quality to 'high' ?
It doesnt matter if you have horrible framerates. You only need to capture one frame after all.
Posted 18 years ago2005-12-11 19:50:57 UTC Post #151808
But you also need a decent framerate to pose the ragdolls.
Posted 18 years ago2005-12-11 19:52:02 UTC Post #151809
Yes, but you can turn the graphics up when you're done.

Nice story, but it does look like crap. and speech bubbles suck, you may as well just use arial or times new roman, won't have a dramatic effect, but it would be tons easier to read.
Posted 18 years ago2005-12-12 18:11:38 UTC Post #151949
Okay,

I'm going to make Volume 2... I'll see if I can make it look better...

I was pretty much doing it for the storyline though... Its suppose to be dark and dreary, as is the mood.
Posted 18 years ago2005-12-13 05:55:42 UTC Post #151995
T'was headache-inducing anyhow.
Posted 18 years ago2005-12-13 13:07:46 UTC Post #152036
erm... sorry, but compared to some other efforts around here (^!) it pretty sucked. - not very interesting, crap graphics, naff font. sorry.
Posted 18 years ago2005-12-13 14:09:49 UTC Post #152059
Hmm, the story was good, so far.
The posing was pretty decent, a few bits could be improved.
The text and actual comic where atrocious though, impossibly hard to read and shoddy looking.

5/10.
Posted 18 years ago2005-12-13 19:31:00 UTC Post #152188
heh,

Remember, this is my first time using Gary's Mod ;)

I'm almost done with the second one...

I turned up the graphics all the way when taking the pictures, and changed the font. I also make the pictures a little larger and more interesting...

Storyline continues...
Posted 18 years ago2005-12-16 22:21:30 UTC Post #152722
Bah!

How do you Pose a Dude with a weapon?

I mean... I don't just want an NPC... I want a ragdoll holding a gun or a stunstick... I precieve that this is fairly obvious, but I can't figure it out...

Thanks...
Posted 18 years ago2005-12-16 22:45:53 UTC Post #152724
You hold down E and rotate with the physgun and make sure the weapon is No Collided with the ragdoll.

Did you improve? Hell yes, great job!
Posted 18 years ago2005-12-17 06:43:20 UTC Post #152754
Yeh, a lot better BL. :)

But it can still be improved.

The text still looks very sketchy and low quality, same with the images, they look a bit low res.

But a lot better than your first one I'd say.
Posted 18 years ago2005-12-17 07:00:34 UTC Post #152764
Much nicer, but still nasty jagged edges on the text. Anti-aliasing! Also, please, Sort the random Capitalisation!

Posted 18 years ago2005-12-17 07:35:53 UTC Post #152773
I agree with 7th. Though it definately is a improvement. Might do with a better optimazation.
Posted 18 years ago2005-12-17 10:20:38 UTC Post #152800
Hmm...

Every time I convert to .jpg, it does that to the text, and to my pictures...

The origional one... before converting... looks much better.

Any hints on how to put it in a format thats easy to upload, but keep its look?
Posted 18 years ago2005-12-17 10:25:45 UTC Post #152805
.gif or .png?
Yeah a much better improvement and I like the story!

Just use JPEG. PNGs are nice, but unnecessary here, and JPEG2000 isn't supported by anything.

The quality could be much better, although the whole idea is quite nice.. :)

Well, gj anyway!

Posted 18 years ago2005-12-17 20:59:52 UTC Post #152933
at least I fixed the Jagged Edges...
Posted 18 years ago2005-12-17 21:00:40 UTC Post #152934
much better... smoother speech, etc. although the posing is slightly strange... none the less, funnY!
Posted 18 years ago2005-12-17 21:41:57 UTC Post #152939
Much better than the previous two. Nice job :)
Posted 18 years ago2005-12-17 21:51:59 UTC Post #152940
Fix the spelling (even I know that guardian isn't spelled gaurdian) and as 7th already said the Damn random Capitalisation!
Posted 18 years ago2005-12-17 21:56:36 UTC Post #152943
heh, sorry...

Kind of How I type sometimes...

I don't know, it just seems like I Capitalize the more important Words...

I'm going to go through and make them all 1 by 1, then go back with what I've learned and fix them all up to look nice...
Posted 18 years ago2005-12-18 06:17:09 UTC Post #152973
Your not german FFS!!

Oh, i dont really like the red and bleu, probably a personal preferance. Its getting better and better BL, keep it up!
Posted 18 years ago2005-12-18 06:24:16 UTC Post #152974
I used to do that sometimes, but in order to touchtype properly on essays and stuff you have to change it D: - You get used to it if you practice enough.
