Chronicles of Genia Comic. New stuff. Episode 4.2 posted

[plightofthepureblood]

This is the first strip of ten. The mini-series is meant as an introduction to the storyline of my game project, which has recently had to be restarted.

Rather than animate all of this again, In 2 dimensions, Ive decided to make a serial comic strip. Much of the series of the COG is already put into short story form, and I always had plans to one day make a graphic novel installment. So it only made sense to have a Graphic serial prequel. Its easier for me....and hopefully i can use this as a kind of storyboard trailer to get non rpgmaker community people interested in playing the game.
Its hard to read, and I apologize

Its nothing spectacular, but its in much better taste than my other strip. The imagry is super simple, as its meant to fit the style of graphics in the project.

I hope you enjoy it. I should have another made within the week.
It took me about 2 hours to make this, I used the storyboard i made for the old COG intro.

By the time this is finished, I hope to have a small playable demo of my game ready.....

please give input...


Episode four is in the early stages.
At this point, some aspects of the storyline are changing.
Im wingin' it in some parts.
And its going slowly right now.
Bear with.
In a week or two, Ill have a Graphics Tablet, and The whole thing will come along quickly.
But im going to be offline alot more, so the progress will be slower still, but when updates are posted, more will be added at a time.

That text is rather difficult to read.

[plightofthepureblood]

ugh.....let me try to post it as an attachment rather than a link. I jacked down the color to 256......hopefully that will make it a decent size.

[Hell Angel]

Bad ***.

[Archem]

Nice. But foreign is spelled wrong.

[plightofthepureblood]

DAMMIT.

Ill have to fix that.




Coming next episode:More Pages...More Characters.....Actual Storyline!

In the next installment, David, the blondish fella up there, begins to interact with his peers after waking up from a dream.

You will be introduced to another 2 main Characters, Troy, and Sylphe...

[Moosetroop11]

Nice, but EXTREEEME lack of punctuation.

Page one of three from Episode 2

[I Have a Sandwich]

I personally think you have too much text-per-panel, but I thinks it's cool how they have neither eye nor mouth details.

[plightofthepureblood]

I had a similar thought about the text.....

Point taken...Ill have to keep that in mind for the next page.

In the beginning of it, there is alot of dialogue....perhaps if I found a way to tone town the balloons?

In an episode or two, its a whole lot of action....less talk.....more rock.

[Cosmos]

The first one was so light.. and the text tends to be fuzzy from time to time, but other then that I like it.

[plightofthepureblood]

I was really trying to make the text easier to read in this one. Thanks Mid.

[MrMister]

The comics themselves are kind of big.
I'm not a fan of the extreme close-ups.

edit: I'm noticing colour information loss.
You should save all your files with something like ultimate paint.

[plightofthepureblood]

Actually yeah....theres color loss here. The origionals are good for color. I toned em down to 256 because it was taking forever to attach

[Archem]

The female character kinda freaks me out... Not sure why. And yeah, it's good, but a little cluttered with text and close-ups.
