lol, nice comic. but the hammer looks more like a beer than a bloody hammer... or is it reallly a beer?
edit: oh, it is a beer, nevermind that then.
Yeap, that would be a beer cup... :D
Umm...
Good art, but I don't get it.
And I like comics
Edit: Wait, is that a nose?
Oh, thanks... but...what didn't you get? And... a nose? Where?
nice

thats what i want to do!
Thanks... ;)
nice mate u doin good,ur drawing is nice!!
Oh, thank you, sir! And i wanna see ur sig done, mate! :D
That post made me laugh.

Mostly because of me misreading it as "Wait, what is a nose?"

Oh, well...
Thanks for the constructive criticism...
The only problem with it is that it looks a bit like the worm in the third frame is holding the hammer, which doesn't make much sense. Otherwise, great. Nice avatar, too.
Hmmm...not quite... if you look at the hand position you would see it's the same position as the 2nd frame... though i get your point, that hand is bad positioned, indeed. And thanks... :)
oh good job! that made me laugh to myself.
You're very good with expressions.
keep it up!!! *shakes hand*Oh, thanks! That was the whole idea... make some people laugh a little... :D

I can see you didn't use the threshold there... :p What was the method you used to colour it? :) *curious*
I had these layers in this order:

Lineart: set to multiply
Shading: 90% opacy, set to multiply.
Color: Ordinary layer
Background: Just plain white.

I used a fuzzy brush to do the shading, and I used the magic wand and grew it by a pixel each time. Your pencil lines are smooth enough for it to work.
Though the picture was kinda small, so growing my selection by just one pixel made the selection kinda wonky. ALWAYS color the picture when it's big, and resize afterward.

Thanks, dude, but that's not quite the result i want out of that picture. Using the threshold tool (as i supose you did) only gives the picture a "paint-made" look and the colours you put on it are kinda flat, with no shading or whatsoever. No offence, nothing personal, i know you can do better. :)

Like i said to Pigbuster on dA, i don't want put any colours in the drawing; i want to make a good colour drawing. :)

And, please, enough of colouring my drawings, i think i got the point already. ;)

Threshold is a tool in photoshop/GIMP that makes a picture only 2 colors, B+W. It can be good for coloring, but 404 likes his pictures to look more handdrawn than "Done-in-MS-paint".

Riseeeeeeee! Rise from the tomb my little thread, riseeeee!!!!!!! :D

Ok, guys and girls, this is a picture of Rarsonic's sigworm. Yes, him, Rarsonic!

- Erm... Error... why the hell did you drew him and not us that requested on the other threads?

Hmm... well mainly because i didn't have a good idea about your sigworms yet, or cause i've been busy drawing that picture for splapp's competition (The ****tiest christmas ever (http://www.deviantart.com/view/26607554/)) or even maybe because i was thinking about a plot for a comic that i'll start soon enough.

But actually because Rarsonic's avatar was pretty damn ugly (don't bother looking at his profile page cause he changed it already :rolleyes: ). I felt some pity for the poor boy with that horrible avatar so i decided to draw him a better avatar (which turned out into this picture).

Well, enough of talking, to the picture: Rarsonic Revisited (http://www.deviantart.com/view/27045514/)

- Right, Error, but you've overlooked quite a few elements from his sig!

Yes, of course, that's what the "revisited" stands for. I took his sigworm and changed some stuff in order to make it a little cooler (in my opinion, of course) and better to draw, trying to keep it's original look and essence. ;)

Anyways, i hope you guys, girls, worms and Rarsonic itself enjoy it! And keep watching for the comic to come! ;)

EDIT: Oh, and i was almost forgetting! If you want an avatar out of the picture, Rarsonic, just tell me. ;)

Rarsonic

30 Dec 2005, 22:59

Loved you drew me :) *cries* *needs to get practice*

I know it is revisted, Error, but there are some obvious issues:

Being Rarsonic under a suit, how do you want it to have eyebrows? The same goes for the visor. And when i thought about my sig, i didn't want it to be a cyber-punk sigworm(meaning the backpack generator). Of course i like your drawing, but... well... i do not know... :-/

It's not revisted, it's revisited. :)

And they're worms for christ's sake! They don't follow regular laws of physics, so, yes, they pretty much can have eyebrows even wearing suits over their heads. It would be weird if they did not have the eyebrows. :)

And, yeap, i thought of a better version of the visor that could still show the worm's pupils. And i didn't mean it to be cyberpunk either, but your sigworm's description frankly does seem a bit cyberpunk. :rolleyes:

I'm usualy against those killer-machines-with-overpowered-equipment kind of sigworms myself, but in your case i had a good idea for a picture, so i drew it. You're not forced to like it, mate, that's just my version. ;)

Yes. But i do not want Rar's suit to look like the uber-loaded barroque suits that currently appear on cyberpunk thingies.

I have to edit my sigworm to clear things. Rarsonic only kills when needed(for example, enemies. When Rarsonic is on killing sprees, it does that only to make fear). It does not kill to kill, Rarsonic has a reason. So i do not think about Rarsonic about a killer machine (althrough AECA is a bit overpowered :p ).

And i like it. Thank you again for draw me good. :)

I understand that you think i made a lot of mistakes there and that you might be a little disappointed about it, i don't blame you for that. But all that i changed i did consciously, that's why i called it "another version" a "revisited version". :)

So try to think of it as indeed another version, a different version, and not as your regular sigworm. ;)

Hand, piece of paper, mechanical pencil and a rubber. I just scanned it and coloured with photoshop with no real trick, just the brush and some layers.

But his eyes are fairly odd. They make him look like he's a bit ill. They probably should have looked a bit more evil-like. Remember, Rarsonic is supposed to be a bit of an evil character.
I've read his profile before he changed it and that didn't seem evil to me. The eyes are odd because that was suposed to be this...i don't know...visor thing; i guess he had that before changing the profile. Besides, if you look at the picture as whole, you see that "evil eyes" have nothing to do with it. You can't have a character with just one strict expression. :rolleyes: ;)

Cell shading was invented to replicate the simple style of shading and colouring used a lot in cartoons. So cartoon shadiong would probably be correct.

That is seriously high-class work, there. The only problems are small, and are miniscule when compared to the good parts.
Though I think that the smoke looks odd, since the texture is round, while the lineart for it is sharp and more jagged.
And what's with the brown blood? :p

Even so, that is really, very good. Keep it up, man.

Lol...finally someone said something about the smoke!
I'm aware of it, man... i was aware even before releasing it althought i had 2 options: 1) change the shading 2) change the lineart

And since i didn't have any more ideas of how could i shade it and i couldn't bother my lazy ass to redraw and rescan the whole thing, i left it like that. I promise i'll make beter smokes on the episodes to come... :p

And what's with the brown blood?
Actually, that can vary from monitor to monitor, computer to computer. I see it as a maroon... red-ish... but i gotta admit that's not the usual color people pick for blood. I tend to use more gray-ish colours at my stuff... i like the pale looking of it rather than that bright, eye-hurting colors we usually see around. But i'll take not that i have to make it more red-ish... :)

Thanks for the criticism, man...i'm glad someone actually cared to make some... ;)

And i'm yet to try some pencil colored pic à la HK, but that's for the future. Those pics from HK are seriously good regarding colors... specially those last ones she made about slick poking psyduck's eye and splapp with coffin' (sorry if i misspelled that... i'm not much of a pokemon person)... :)

Ok, guys i had this done for a couple of days... i was actually gonna put this into the Fanartis of the (last)month competition but i felt like i should wait for this next one... a big mistake i guess, cause now Slick and maybe even Splapp and HK are going to participate, so my chances are kinda flushing down the toilet...

People can be easily impressed. A picture with a lot in it is often impressive, even if each detail of it isn't particularly good or impressive.

This picture that I did here (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/19875207/) was actually very easy to draw. Each bit was very simple and basic. It's nothing spectacular. It's not even that well drawn and has no effects in it. The only real good thing about it is the fact it has a lot in it. The only thing it took to make is time. That's how easily people can be impressed.

Of course you all probably know this. If of course each little detail was drawn well, then the overall picture would be very good (like this one here (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/7954862/) (she also did a coloured one of it). Time is all it takes (although that is where the difficulty comes in).

Aku, why don't you try "loosening" your art a bit? You switched from sprites to vector art but i gotta say i see little effort in making it any different from the sprite's ctrl+c/ctrl+v style. Maybe you could try to draw the whole thing sometime. I mean... look at P.P... he keeps his stuff pretty simple and i can't say it's half bad. :)

I remember my first wireless mouse and my first tablet. I have switched between the two quite a lot of the last decade or so and I still find a pen easier than a mouse and a mouse easier than a tablet, usually. If I practise enough, the tablet is easier than the mouse. Bic biro on paper wins every time, though.

I really put my heart and mind into this comic and it's the absolute best i can do. I worked hard on every step of the way and Pyramid is here to prove (and i thank him for the patience and comments).

Please, give your best critique. If you can find anything (artwise, plotwise, jokewise, scriptwise, etc.) that you think i should improve, please, say so. If you need a base to compare, my intention was to achieve the quality of a VG Cats comic (http://www.vgcats.com/comics/).

Indeed... that was, by far, the most dificult frame to draw and colour... the hand probably follows a former lightsource. I'll have that fixed tomorrow. The lightsource is still lower than the worm there, so i'll have to check on how to shade that thing properly.

If you have any comments on the joke... plot... or whatever... if you found it funny... or not. I'd like any feedback - positive or otherwise. :)

Hence why I said "If I had a complaint". I never minded copy-paste artwork myself, but from what I can gather, general consensus is that unchanging camera or duplicate expressions are not a good thing.

Amazing comic.

Like, seriously amazing.

I kind of wonder about the shading sometimes, in particular the sun is usually behind them if panel 2 and the shadows on the floor in the other panels are anything to go by, but on the worms themselves they seem to have the light coming from the opposite direction. Honestly, I think it actually looks fine as is and I'm only being really nitpicky, because I don't know if having all of their faces etc. in the shadows would look any better, but y'know... I just say to myself that the sunlight is really ambient and then that tends to solve things ;)

I love the way you blurred the background in the last panel because the "camera changed focus". I thought that panel where it splits in two and the only thing that changes are your eyes was really effective. I love the drawing of the bull. I love the "trail" of the "milk" coming (hyuk hyuk) from Error's mouth. Hell, I love everything about this comic.

Ehh.... not necessarily. Generally people tend to moan if a comic is nothing more than "talking heads". If the entire comic was that same pose, then I'd probably have a problem with it, but in every panel I'd say the panel is focusing on the right stuff. (The only exception I could probably make is the one where Error has the milk and is inserting the straw, as there's technically no need to see Aku in that panel, but he is talking to Aku so it's best to keep him in there. Even if I were to change it, I have no idea what would be more effective, if anything. I say it's perfectly fine as it is.)

P.S. Did I mention that I think this is wonderful?

The colours are so well done, perfectly executed. And you nailed the expressions (laughed alot of that last panel).
Second panel is so great.
The change of ambience in the 3th panel, was incredible, and an awesome background there.
Seriously...after all this work, and redoing the same things several times to achieve the best result, I think you got what you wanted so bad. I really really loved the comic, and it was great to see the progress of your work with it, through the week.

Those frames set a really good pace for the comic. I think the way Error's portrayed Beardy's reaction time is brilliant; nothing short of perfection.

The art is astounding, too. The bull made me laugh out loud (excellently drawn) and the colours in the frame with Paul is so well contrast to the rest of the comic. Excellent work, my friend.

I also recommend Hydrochloric Acid - it's less toxic and is produced naturally for use in the human stomach, but will have the same effect in your mouth as concentrated Sulphuric Acid without reacting too vigorously with your saliva.

The shading is consistent with the exception of panel two, that has another kind of dramatic effect to emphasize the angle of the camera. That was meant to be.

Thanks! I actually have gradual blur on the whole background. It gets blurred as it goes further away from the camera.
And thanks for that... that was the kind of effect that i was aiming for... glad it worked.

I got the bull this morning at first shot! HA! Total fluke but i couldn't stop laughin' at it... bulls in speedos are the best! :p But he wasn't actually planned to be there. I thought of him last night while i was preparing to sleep. The joke would end with... well... the graphical explanation of what was the content of the boxes but i thought that some people might just not get it just by looking at the... liquid... viscosity.

You know better than anyone how i struggled with this. :p I was really careful about the details about panel 3's background and i think it turned out pretty good.

I actually passed to the whole comic as if it was an animation quite a few times. And i thought of it as if it was, hence the frames with similar poses.

As mentioned previously. I laughed like a mad man while drawing that bull. It almost drew itself, man... false modesty aside, that one turned out great.

I think you'll like the original colours on that Paul and Muscular Worm frame even more. I'll post it later on today.
