I would've said that those kind of stubby tails are okay, until I noticed that SupSuper leaning back just a little made him look like a head on a blob. I can't see this, no matter how hard I try. Besides, isn't that what worm cartoons are?

while talking to teddy about how andrew looks and then reading through the apathy clan comics yet again I had an idea.
what if the 2 most apathetic guys on the forum got into a heated battle? from there it took a logical turn to become the following:

They weren't supposed to know yet! Thank's a lot.
Well, you never told me, and Plasma did it too, why haven't you killed him yet?
Besides, its not like you are circumventing a ban, is it?

No, i'm not circumventing a ban.. I just didn't know how the mods would take it, considering i couldn't log into my other account even though the status of it doesn't say something like "Bad email".

Right... well i deleted the post so they won't know anymore.
You should have told the Mods.
Well, i guess i should have. But i'm just too afraid that i get banned or something for a longer period of time that i could stand.
I'm too afraid since all that been happening to me personally, so i am really careful.

I'm too afraid since all that been happening to me personally, so i am really careful.meh, if it's not circumventing a ban and you really just can't seem to log into your old account I don't really see much damage. we've had someone else do this before and whoever the mod was at the time combined both accounts and post counts and what-not at the request of the user in order to fix the issue. I doubt anyone's available to do that these days but I doubt you'll be banned for it as well. wouldn't make much sense.
so who are ya? :p

I guess? Well, i didn't make much research on this matter... So i don't know if i made this account without any purpose, if the error was a one-time matter. I would, though, like to keep this account now that i got it.

Hmmm. I wasn't on this forum, or the internet at all much last year so I must have missed it. I'm sure that i've viewed artwork on his Xelioth account though, I must have just assumed that it was the same account as his old one.

Your suit has a collar now?meh? watched The Forbidden Kingdom yesterday and saw the main character basically wearing the same outfit that was the idea behind the sigworm. figured I'd try to see if I liked the under-shirt sort of thing that he was wearing on the movie. no one else needs to pay attention to that, but if they want to draw it they can. it's not important
He created a new one, for a reason.a reason that ended up being pointless as it was because I stopped drawing worms stuff, but now my new account is about half worms-related.

I think it's the shadow from the fire.

ok. seeing as I remembered about having requests I still needed to do I went ahead and did the 2 boring ones together :p
anyone else that wanted to be drawn? preferably someone with a worm I can do something interesting with? :p

I love how everybody draws tgWorm as an axe murderer, despite the fact that that isn't actually what his sigworm is. I like to feel like I've made a difference with my terrible comics.
If you knew what Kelsey's like, you'd have put the axe behind the other sigworm...

ok, well since ShadowMoon's profile lists a normal sword that becomes completely redundant next to his light saber I figured I'd take the liberty of combining the two to make a laser-edge sword like you see in some sci-fi movies and such. I think it works better this way, so stuff you if you disagree, shadowmoon, this is how I wanted to draw you :p
anyway:

I won't complain... because it is fantastic!:eek:
But then again, all of your art is often fantastic.
The one thing about that is that the sword is, frankly, brilliant. But when next to the worm, the picture just looks bad. I mean, c'mon, the T-shirt is just an undetailed yellow tube with an S put on that doesn't seem to fold as the T-shirt bends.
You know what I love about the T-shirt? The fact that a bit of the S sticks OUTSIDE the T-shirt itself.
Where can I get me one of those?

Where can I get me one of those?it doesn't stick out, actually. it DOES seem to stick a little over the outline, though, so that wouldn't be anything more than just a shirt with the bubbly lettering stuff that sticks up off the shirt a slight bit.
it's on a worm. what do you want from me? :p
As much detail as on the sword, really.
Or, at the very least, make the S look like it's on the worm, and not like a kid decided to spray-paint an S onto a flat picture.

Or, at the very least, make the S look like it's on the worm, and not like a kid decided to spray-paint an S onto a flat picture.what I mean is what sort of detail is going to be shown on a worm? the shirt would sort of bend with the worm and hang rather limply for the most part. what sorts of folds and bends would a worm's shirt have?
what I mean is what sort of detail is going to be shown on a worm? the shirt would sort of bend with the worm and hang rather limply for the most part. what sorts of folds and bends would a worm's shirt have?
Firstly, a crease at the corner where the tail meets the body would be nice. Secondly, more rugged shading, or anything to show that it is hanging limply. The way you did it makes it look like Spandex.
After that, smaller details, such as a collar that isn't perfectly round (should be limping down a bit at the front); or a collar at all.

No offense (your drawings are great, and I know I couldn't do better), but your worms don't really look like worms (due to the shortness of the tails); they just look like legless armless cartoon people with the standard cartoony physics-defying hands.

Vectors are only some waypoints, you can use to make pictures that don't loose quality when you resize them.
Have a look at the Wikipedia articel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_graphics).

Still, I gotta ask, what is a vector? I because I think I read that you make art using it... :-/it's sort of like drawing with a connect the dots book. you don't actually draw the lines, you just set the 2 points and then manipulate the amount of curve on each line to make the shape do what you want it to do. takes some getting used to, but it makes pictures easily editable. as it noticed by the fat version of superfrea I just did :p

EDIT:
Wait a sec, you copied me in there from one of my works, don't cha?sorta? I did a half-tracing thing with paul in your comic 11 to get the basic worm shape from your style. I then smoothed it out so that it was closer to how you normally draw (the way I trace isn't perfectly accurate right off), then I looked through your comics for random references for different parts of the worm and such and drew it based off of that. I used your fat plasma thing for the color. so I DID technically still draw it myself, it was just done in your style :p

I already had the links in my sig so I figured I'd organize them in a creative manner. then Mtl copied me, then everyone else and their damn mothers joined in.
Wow, how did you do that movie poster effect?that was easy as hell. I flattened all the layers and drained the saturation by 20 or so points. then I pasted 15% visible copies of these images over the whole thing.

Also which program do you use to make those pictures? They look amazing.FireWorks CS3 to be specific about it. it's basically just photoshop with a few stripped down options but with better vectoring. I think it's basically photoshop for web graphics. not sure on that one, though.
and sure, I'll get you at some point. I have something else I want to get to first, though.

Fireworks has been on my computer for a long time, but I just left it gather dust on my desktop. What can I expect from FW in terms of advanced options, since you said it's a stripped down PS?

Fireworks has been on my computer for a long time, but I just left it gather dust on my desktop. What can I expect from FW in terms of advanced options, since you said it's a stripped down PS?well among the tutorials that I've used, fireworks can do pretty much everything that photoshop can, but it's lacking in versatility in the areas of brushes and filters. the brushes can't be custom shapes as far as I'm aware and the eraser doesn't have the custom brush functionality as photoshop does. the filters aren't nearly as expansive as they are in photoshop, but the essential ones are mostly there and oyu can import up to photoshop 5 filters. no lense flare.
Also Akuryou13, please BE CAREFUL with the bishop. Everyone claims it hard, so please watch the W4:M box art to see how my bishop is.that hat is pretty simplistic. if I can do zeor's helmet I can do a bishop hat.

yeah, I've decided I think I want to give a comic another go. I fully intend to copy/paste in this comic as well, so screw you guys. drawing on a computer takes longer than drawing on pencil, so it's much easier for me and it still looks good. if you have a problem with it, don't read it :p though do let me know if I start copy/pasting way too damn much...
anyway!

I'll check back in about 10 months time, by then something entertaining might've happened.oh get off it. this was just the introduction. just something to get the comic started. there really wasn't much to be done that's funny about a guy signing up. the rest of the comics will actually include jokes :p
and btw, so far all those suggestions have been horrible :p and shadowmoon, your suggestion wasn't even close to the worst ever, it was just stupid...
also: S2K and shadowmoon, both of you stop it. no flame war in here.
and one more for shadowmoon: yes, this is a 1940s comic. greyscale is faster than color.
edit: plasma *****ed, so you get the next one early since I already had it done. this better?

Also am I wearing a bra? D:yes, I believe that is indeed a bra....don't ask me, I didn't put it there.
and the buck tooth thing was more a decision based on I thought of you as sort of a forum teenager, not being around TOO long but still being here a while. teens are awkward and as such I had to make you awkward looking. I went for tall and lanky and the buck teeth just seemed to fit :p

An unneccessary response i must say....
I never said i didn't like the comic. I said i didn't like the dull colours.....
And dull colours are not "Aku's stuff" considering he never invented the dull colours......
And "Still not funny" isn't not liking the comic either......
Confused.....
nice pic though....
I definitely like the computer drawings more though......

Being a sheep means you follow what everyone else is saying.

And also everyone seems to think I'm tall :p

Also, out of curiosity why did you make Pigbuster obese?he's jolly? it seemed appropriate :p he'd also be in his middle years in forum age, which is a prime area for obesity.
So why is Angelus front side so... straight?he's meant to look like a stuck up politician sort of thing who thinks he's better than all us common folk :p I almost gave him the white elizabethan wig to complete the look :)

Yeeeeah, you should try and stay away from adding in extra details to sigworms, they just end up looking horribly deformed. Things like height and such can be included, but only if you're subtle with it. Making SuperFrea 150% the size of a regular worm is a bit much...

Making SuperFrea 150% the size of a regular worm is a bit much...it's just bad referencing there. the new guy is really short; being a child. notice his height compared to thomas in the second comic. super_frea is really not significantly taller than other worms.
in fact, I just compared it, and superfrea is almost exactly as much taller than thomas, as the new kid is shorter than thomas. if need be I can post the comparisons, but you'll see the difference noticably in future comics once others of more average height come into the story.

Anyone know if theres a mirror of the Fireworks trial? Adobe for some reason has them all locked until July 1st. I wanna try this, seeing as this can make some real good and smooth lineart. I can't (Don't know how to) do that in Photoshop..?

I'm not being lazy and avoiding doing work as much as possible, I'm just copying old work when it fits. if an expression had been needed to get the point across I would've placed it there. it wasn't, so I didn't.
Well, i just wanna find an easy way to make simple lines, like a beizer curve tool, maybe with some thickness setting. I don't want to use brush in Photoshop.bezier? and yeah, the rest works pretty well. you can set the width of the brush to whatever you want with the vectors, but the whole line will be the same width, keep in mind. you can also set the line to be different types of brushes, like splatters or other sorts of things. it's rather handy.
edit: just googled bezier curves. that is EXACTLY what the vectoring is in fireworks. I use that to draw everything I've ever drawn. hell, even half of the effects work I do is using the vector pen these days.

But at least something other than smiling!that wasn't smiling. it was a pretty clear blank stare. why would he be angry or irritated? how on earth do you draw twitchy and how could that be even remotely appropriate given the situation? a blank stare is pretty close to apathetic and I can't think of anything else that would fit even slightly, much less better.

edit: and for those considering requesting, it's not a guarantee that you'll end up in the comic. if I have an idea I might shove you into the spot but otherwise chances are I'll ignore requests. at the same time if I have a small group of random people like the line to slick's thread I'll most likely make it consist of people I don't intend to use in the actual plot.

name me a facial expression that would work in that situation. name it.
Annoyance would do it.
...though that would actually make it MORE clichéd, and I actually like the blankness a lot better, so whatever.
I do indeed realize that I am rediculously late here. I've been ignoring this thread for quite some time, now.
Don't know why, really. This is good stuff.
By the way, your 2nd comic's link is broken.
and did any of you losers get the S2K joke?
Yes.
Though I'm not a loser, so NO.
...yes I am. :(

That Zipper guy reminds me of the one episode of the Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy where they got a hold of Grim's Zipper and starting fooling around with it, turning Mandy into half a fly.

That Zipper guy reminds me of the one episode of the Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy where they got a hold of Grim's Zipper and starting fooling around with it, turning Mandy into half a fly.never saw that one. the character is based on a horrible super hero duo I'm supposed to be coloring right now :p

He does not act like a fool!!:mad::mad::mad::mad:it's a comic based on the forum. 90% of the time the personality of sigworms are based on a prevalent personality trait of the owner. if, like the majority of the forumers here, the owner doesnt' have a prevalent personality trait, THEN (and only then) the profile personality is substituted. alternately, the person doing the comic can come up with a personality.
in this comic, for instance, I've made Super_Frea a simple country boy. obviously this is neither his personality or that of his sig, but I'm doing it anyway because I wanted to. PigBuster, whenever I get around to introducing him, will be using his profile personality because his real personality is somewhat generic in ways relevant to a comic. MtlAngelus will also be a main character in this comic and his character will be a HUGE exaggeration of a minor portion of his personality (huge to the point that aside from this statement telling you so, no one would likely be able to make the connection). my personality in this comic will be based on my character's personality which has grown up around me on its own, and is loosely based on both my own personality and that of the character in the original comics.
in summary: I'll do what I want, how I want and when I want within my comic. grow up and get over it.
edit: hehe, that personality in your profile will never be used. it's boring and horribly uncreative. besides, we've already got Paul if we want a smart guy.

I don't think you fully understand the relation between forum members and their sigworms.
First of all, sigworms can be anything you like, and don't have to represent who you are in real life. Am I crap detective in real life..... er... probably. OK, bad example, but you know what I mean.
When it comes to spoofing or mocking forum members in forum comics, that person's sigworm is the best way to do that. Everybody will associate Melon the detective with me, and if I do something incredibly daft in the forum, somebody might draw my sigworm in order to represent me. That's exactly what's happening here.
We know you're sigworm isn't meant to be silly, but there's still a connection between you and your sigworm, and in some ways it can still represent yourself. If Aku did something that deserved me mocking him, I draw his sigworm in Forum News. His sigworm wasn't the one who acted silly, but it's still a valid connection.

In comics sigworms will almost always have the same personality as the person they represent. No matter how different you want him to be to yourself.

Yeah, but you insulted me and called me an idiot. Do you think i'll except that???????
My sigworm does not have his personality related to me.

Don't feature me in any more comics if they cause insults.......
*end of arguement*
read any of the last 4 posts until they sink in.

The point is i know that your doing it to insult me and that you DO mean it to offend me.....

Messages don't sink in to me much i'm afraid.....trust me, we all know.
The point is i know that your doing it to insult me and that you DO mean it to offend me.....
So don't make fun of my antics in on this forum!don't act like you're the best thing that's ever happened to this forum, don't post questions or comments on the level of idiocy as was the "I forgot wood was flammable" episode, and don't constantly fan the flame of every discussion until they turn into an argument. if you stop these horrible posting habits I will stop making fun of you.
and for the record, no, I'm NOT doing it to offend you. you'd know that if you'd bother to pay attention to all the posts in which I've tried to help you....not that I expect you to listen at all anymore.

Include me in comics then but just tone it down please.no. you show absolutely NO respect for anyone on this forum. you treat us all like we're inferior to you and that our opinions and suggestions aren't worth the time it took to type them. until such a type that you learn to show some respect for someone other than yourself you don't deserve any respect from me or anyone else.

Shadowmoon, let me tell you a story.
I used to spam a lot and be silly when I was new. I revived threads and got watched for 3-6 months. Aku replied to this by putting me in his comic in an old art thread of his which are at least 3 times worse than what he did with you. I got offended, but after a while, I became less of a jerk and became what I am now. Although I'm not the most contributing member around, I try not to spam too much.
Now Aku also includes my blunders in his comics occasionally (and in his alternate profile), but now, I'm not offended by them. I even find them funny that I was that silly back then.
You can either keep arguing with people, or you can stop. Maybe leave the forum for a while, come back, and post like any normal person would, commenting on art, providing constructive criticism, etc. That's the best way.

you used to be a HORRIBLE poster. rampant spam and retardedness and just general annoyance all around. now you're one of the gang. I don't think of you as that guy who used to post like an idiot, but rather as that guy who does really damn awesome paint art and, now, normal art.

again. I will show you the exact level of respect that you show me. absolutely no more than that.
The reason i never respect you all is because you keep laughing when i get something wrong. I'm 13, and 13 year olds are naive.
There's person here tho that i wouldn't respect even if he was in my family.
Also i respect my friends. The people who never laugh at me!
I'm 14. One year doesn't matter much. I know 13 year olds that can be pretty mature, but can act silly. If they're irritating, i simply ask them to stop and they do. This is what you don't, really. Well, in a similar sense.
What I'm trying to say is:
Age doesn't equal maturity.

Most of my friends are like me.
There are some teenagers that are immature and i'm one of them.
When you all stop calling me names and stuff when i get things wrong i'll start to consider......
The only one I've ever seen calling you names is S2K. Female names, like "Barbra", i recall.
Don't ask this of us if we didn't even do it.
