Yes, the time has come to show my ideas and hopefully not embarass myself too much at the same time. Please don't critiscise my comic drawing skills as I have this weird way of drawing worms, okay?
Erm, does anyone know a place where I can host an image?
It's dimensions are a bit big...

Personally, as long as it's clear and the writing's good enough, I won't give a damn about the actual quality of the art.

This is of course pending on the clarity and writing quality.

Funny... i always thought that criticism was the whole point of this... :rolleyes:

I don't know about imageshack anymore...they're always full of pop-ups that are uber annoying. YAY! I havent used the word uber in forever. :)

deviantArt or SheezyArt seem to be fair bets.

Hmm... I have a bad feeling about this...

This is because of that comic I posted in Zero's forum comic thread, isn't it. ISN'T IT. You were asking for it. :p

It's much cooler with the umlaut, like so: über!

Not if someone uses the direct link instead of the regular one.
It uses more bandwidth for their site, but oh well.
Funny... i always thought that criticism was the whole point of this...
Exactly.
By posting it on this site, you are posting it in public, and we'll say what we want.

You should remember that criticism is a lot more helpful than praise. I see some artists that ask for criticism even when their pictures are nutty good. After all, criticism is probably how they GOT that good. Praise gets you pretty much nowhere.

So take our critisism seriously. The last kid.... (www.chasethehedgehog.deviantart.com) didnt. Now look at him. :)

Yes.
Don't listen to us... and you will become...
AN EMO SONIC FAN!
HAHAHAHAHA!

Okay then, critiscise, but don't bee TOO harsh, like "Oh, that's CRAP, why don't you just give up and get lost nobody likes your toons!"
Something tactful like "I would say on the whole that that's not a very good cartoon and I think you should revise your style a little (or a lot)."

NICE WORK!!!
I LIKE IT...
Wow. It's a perfect representation of what I was talking about. :p

Anyway, it looks okay, but that's probably because your sigworm is totally featureless. I'll need to see more.
Though I'd suggest a horizon line, rather then having the characters stand on the panel.

Okay, I will draw some more worms, and I will make sure of a horizon. I normally only draw horizons when there is a Japanese-style battle going on.

Gee, I wonder where you drew your inspiration. :p

I'll be keeping an eye on it anyway. As has been said, I can't say a lot so far because your sigworm has no features.

The numbers are real nice though.

In the next part, which I am drawing soon, Robowurmz finds a link (looks like a door, in cyberspace) and goes in.
Then...
BORK'D!!!
He finds himself falling through a vortex of 404's!
He lands, but where is he? Only time will tell.

Before I do this, I need requests though, and I will show you some of my style.

:eek: :eek: :eek: This is because of that comic I posted in Zero's forum comic thread, isn't it. ISN'T IT. You were asking for it. :p
I actually thought that was rather funny!
I know, I triple posted...
HELP I'M DOUBLE POSTING AGAIN!!!!

The numbers are real nice though.There is that.

You know, an alternative to saying "hey I'm making a comic, who wants to be in?" is to actually decide for yourself who you want in. That way your comic gets off the ground much faster, and you get more artistic control over where you want the story to go.

I was also going to say "if you don't have a story yet, why are you drawing this?", before I realised that the first six strips of MAPP* (and the vast majority of the ACC** and TYDM*** strips) were just plotless character-based jokes. So instead of just sitting there waiting for a story to arrive, do stuff. Make simple jokes based off of whatever. Eventually, you'll get a story idea and things can move on. But stand-alone jokes that aren't part of a wider plot are a good way to find your feet.

See? Paul.Power, I do have stuff to do!Sorry, I missed that post: I was commenting on your actual comic.

Although, while I'm here: why did you just tell us what you're going to do? You've just ruined the surprise!

Use the line tool to draw straight lines for the frames, because if you keep them jagged, sooner or later you'll have worms going "HELP I'M SLIPPING!!!"

Urge to sing Paul Simon... rising.

Okay dokey, then! I have a little toon explaining my style of worms (http://www.deviantart.com/view/34093166/). (You know, I actually hand draw them with a pen, then scan them and edit them is MS paint...

You know... they could have a little bit of body between the head and the tail... :)

Apart from that, it's pretty much better than most of the cra...art we see people posting here... so... keep pushing yourself and you'll be a good artist in a few years... ;)

I've seen worse, I must admit.

And yay for blob hands.

lol, he looks like a cyclop and he looks fat. But practise more.

Bonus points for Teen Girl Squad. Anyway, yeah, your style is alright, but yeah, put something between the eyes. I, too, thought he was a cyclops at first.

And as Paul said, since you don't seem to be getting requests, you'd best go ahead and pick people for yourself. :p

I actually quite like the "cyclops" look: it's certainly distinctive, and a divider of some sort would kinda break the charm a little.

I'll leave this one up to you, as I'm entirely unqualified to talk about that.

Still, good luck.

If you look hard enough, you can see that the pupils are, in fact, separate.
It's just the whites I join together.

Thanks! :D!

I would say on the whole that that's not a very good cartoon and I think you should revise your style a little (or a lot).


( :p )

Were you joking, or were you serious? I'm not sure. (Cos of the smiley):) :p :o

i drw those worms and i think that thats a good way of drawing them.:cool:

Okay, you made your point. You like my worms. Okay, anyway, are you going to enlist for the comic? Or not? I'll cameo you anyway.

Thread locked because Samukai's spamming and I haven't got time to delete the posts.

Will reopen it this evening (robowurms - PM me in 4 hours time to remind me)


*Thread closed*


As promised:

*Thread unlocked*

WOAW! Unlocked thread! So rare, so raaare!

Anyway, Nice art but I would work on the eyes of your worms a little, and maybe stretch them, they seem a bit small.

Righty ho!

HECKS, have I been gone a long time! Unfortunately I won't be continutaling this comic. :( But, watch out in NOVEMBER, for when I, Robowurmz, get a copy of Macromedia Flash Pro 8! AN ANIMATED FORUM COMIC IN FLASH! HA HAH! Make your reservations NOW!
:D

Animated you say.... mhhhh im interested.... but do you know how to use Flash?

:DIn other words, you've revived this thread to tell us that:

1. You've stopped making the comic (We'd kinda gathered that: a shame, because it had a non-zero amount of potential).

2. You won't be doing any comic-making over the next three and a bit months either (Has to be said, what will you be doing that will so occupy your time?).

3. After those three and a bit months, you will start learning Flash.

4. An unspecified amount of time after that, you will be starting an animated Forum comic (and given your unreliability with your current one, that unspecified amount of time could be very long).

I don't wish to sound harsh because, as I say, you started vaguely promisingly. Basically, what I want to say is: "Don't just sit there, Muttley! DOOOO something!"

i would like to make a reservation, please

even though it might take a while...

Don't worry.
The thing I will be doing in the next 3-and-a-bit months will be learning flash, so (hold onto your pants, folks!) I WILL BE READY IN NOVEMBER!!
Bwa ha a ha ha haaargh!;)

If you want, I could just send in my various (and crazily random) comics that I draw daily.

Don't worry.

Good good. I shall make a reservation.

How can you be learning it now if you're getting the program in November?

hmm... he learns it from some flash teaching site, or tries it out at a friends house?

He Locks himself up in his room with a book: ''How to learn flash in 3 months.''

I would submit that you couldn't learn a program like Flash without actually using it.

He could be using it over a friend's, I guess...

One word: 30-day-trials. And tutorials. And time hacking. Like resetting the date.

That's what I do. As awesome as Flash is, I have no intention of buying it.

One word: 30-day-trials. And tutorials. And time hacking. Like resetting the date.I must remember to write that word in my dictionary.

In that case, though, why wait three and a bit months, or is that how long you estimate it'll take you to become competent?

No, its to get the money.

No, its to get the money.But, if you can use these thirty-day trial things to make Flash movies, why bother with the full version?

ive got Flash, and i never payed for it, or resetted the date, and i did not download it. Funny ay?

School?

BURN!

No, it was a present XD

"Did you get it from your school then, old bean?"

:D

I doubt it, but if you ever need any pointers on animating, feel free to ask me. but do not ask me about actionscript, for I have not studied it, yet.

I too could make an animated flash comic. Yes, that would be fiendishly evil indeed, However, I am a lazy fatass who cannot be bothered. So goodbye (No, I am not leaving the forum).

This post was utterly pointless.

AN ANIMATED FORUM COMIC IN FLASH! HA HAH! Make your reservations NOW!
If you mean animated two/three frames comics, Wormies already beat you to it with his "Trapped in a Videogame" a long time ago. If you mean animations, I beat you to it with Worm Race, though I never finished it :p:p.

...though I never finished it :p:p.Then it looks like you haven't beaten anybody.

I'm sorry, I've completely missed the significance of what you just said.
He has to change the date in the computer so the trial can last longer than 30 days.
He wants to get the real thing so he won't have to do that, and can have the correct date on the computer.

I'd just recommend putting a calendar on your wall. It's more helpful, anyway.

I'd only worry about buying flash when you might make a big thing out of it (IE, a popular flash series or if you're making any sort of financial profit off of it.)
I haven't bought it, but I will once I can actually get my stupid fat game off the ground.

So I can get the correct date.
Do you really expect the next flash movie you make to take over 30 days?

Yes. :p:p:p
Cheese.

Do you really expect the next flash movie you make to take over 30 days?

That 20 mb Fanartist of the Month entry will take me about a year.
It's VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY complex.

That 20 mb Fanartist of the Month entry will take me about a year.
It's VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY complex.Possibly, but something tells me that robowurmz's won't be so complex.

That 20 mb Fanartist of the Month entry will take me about a year.
It's VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY complex.

I would like to see a glimpse of this "entry"

I started it in another country and left it there.
I must remember to bring blank CDs next time.

Let's just say it's 30 fps, 7 minutes long and has about 800 characters. Excluding text characters, that would make it about 12000 or something.

Hah, that's it? :rolleyes:

Showoff, my larget (unreleased) animation had about 32 layers and 145 frames... BLEGH

Well, MY largest animation had infinite frames and layers, and it was stored in a shoebox at the bottom of a lake, so I had to go down there every day to work on it because if I didn't my own father would kill me in cold blood.

Pah, you were lucky to have layers, I had to draw every little detail by hand, while in a septic tank mind. And everytime I'd finish a frame, my father would slap me to death whilst complaining about how we had it lucky!

my longest animation was so big I needed an extra dimension to store it. and the dimension was full of hungry demons

I made a big animation once

ok I get your points...

I too could make an animated flash comic. Yes, that would be fiendishly evil indeed, However, I am a lazy fatass who cannot be bothered. So goodbye (No, I am not leaving the forum).

What would really be evil is for someone less lazy to actually do an animated forum comic before Robowurms.

*cough*

Do you know how much non-laziness it takes to make an animated forum comic?

More than most human beings have, I can tell you that.
