Title: Stranger than Science Fiction. Scifi Webcomic
Post by: Boba_Fettuccini on October 17, 2007, 01:30:47 AM: Laddddeeeeeeez and gentelmeeennn! Boba Fettuccini presents his new webcomic, Stranger than Science Fiction!

This is the pilot, of sorts. I will slowly but surely make the first 10 pages or so, and then after that, if people like it I will continue.

(right click, view image for best viewing)

Stay tuned for the next page!

BTW folks, the first portion is going to be pretty serious. But I have some funny stuff for it later on :)

Post by: Osmose on October 17, 2007, 02:33:38 AM: 1. Main Theme - 2001 A Space Odyssey
2. Not bad. Art could be a little better but it's fine. The real bad part...
3. ...is the paneling. It was difficult to figure out the panel order and there were little to no guides on what was and what wasn't a panel. I think you should look up some tutorials on how to panel comics better, or at least give them clear-er outlines.

Post by: Boba_Fettuccini on October 17, 2007, 02:48:04 AM: yeah, I know I'm pretty bad at panelling. My mind works rather jumbledly, and thus my panelling too. On my next I make make ach panel an individual image.

And the 3d is actually made with this nifty lil program called metasequioa.

And so i guess Osmose gets a cameo :p What is your preferred physical appearance?

Poke around - every single Black Mage you see in there works. :P

Post by: Boba_Fettuccini on October 19, 2007, 12:22:42 AM: just a heads up, page 2 is 52% completed!!
Title: PAGE 2 COMPLETED SUCKUZ
Post by: Boba_Fettuccini on October 19, 2007, 02:30:50 AM: page 2 done!

Post by: Osmose on October 19, 2007, 03:16:15 AM: I'm going to stop fixing your images to display fullsize anymore now. :P

Post by: Moosetroop11 on October 19, 2007, 03:21:02 PM: Nice one. It actually looks like you're using something a lot like serif drawplus for this, looking at the gradients used and stuff. What do you use?

Keep it up.
Title:
Post by: Boba_Fettuccini on October 19, 2007, 03:55:59 PM: Microsoft Digital Image Pro 9. has a lot of the Serif Drawpuls type tools, but they're a little more intuitive.

suppose thats ok, they can always right click view image. and I'm making them jpegs now so they won't be so hard on slow connection speeds.

Post by: Boba_Fettuccini on October 26, 2007, 02:17:03 AM: Never mind with the code, thats 4 edits without it doing sh*t.

DUN DE DUN!!
Title:
Post by: Osmose on October 26, 2007, 02:47:54 AM: Or, you could edit the previous posts to see what I did to make it display properly - right clicking is annoying and will draw people away.

Post by: Boba_Fettuccini on October 26, 2007, 04:05:40 AM: =/ I've been pasting in the bbcode image tags from photobucket.. owell.

btw, you do get a bit bigger part. you'll learn later.

Post by: Archem on October 26, 2007, 04:05:44 AM: I vote Osmose's idea.

Post by: Dominicy on October 26, 2007, 04:53:23 AM: lolcameo

It has potential, but the pages are coming in a bit slow to keep interest for very long.
Title:
Post by: Boba_Fettuccini on October 26, 2007, 03:29:40 PM: I would get them out at a more regular pace... but I'm doing public school, AND my mom is homeschooling me on the side. This brings it all to a grand total of 11 classes, not counting my art or music classes.

but I'll try to bring up the pace just a bit, maybe 2 a week if I'm lucky. These take about an hour apiece, so I should be able to budget my time for it.

Post by: lilsniffs3 on October 26, 2007, 11:06:34 PM: Cameo....Nice.....

Unfortunately I'm not popular here so I'll never get a cameo, in anything, NOT EVEN MY OWN GAMES!
*Weeps in corner

Post by: Boba_Fettuccini on October 26, 2007, 11:46:54 PM: if that was a hidden request for a cameo...
Title:
Post by: lilsniffs3 on October 27, 2007, 05:45:38 PM: You figured out my plan!
Title:
Post by: Boba_Fettuccini on October 27, 2007, 08:08:44 PM: yeah, well sorry. No cameo :p I offered that as a one time deal, and the Black mage fits into this mini-arc just fine.

Post by: Boba_Fettuccini on January 06, 2008, 07:40:23 AM: hey... umm... so its been awhile. And I have some more material. But before I go taking another 15 minutes out of my day to get all the phot links working and stuff, can I get a show of hands to see who is even close to interested? if no one is... then I'll just not post it.

Post by: Archem on January 06, 2008, 03:01:06 PM: Holy cow, you're still working on this?! I need to start paying more attention...
Title:
Post by: Boba_Fettuccini on January 07, 2008, 04:33:08 AM: i never gave up. I just stopped working on RPG resource making, so i stopped visiting Charas as much. :) I can show a sneek peek of the next story arc, and I'll try maybe to get my hand-drawn episode into some form of flash-based slideshow so I don't have a mile long post.
