I've decided that I can take a break from it when I'm done with the three protagonists, and then just work on them in chunks. Because the characters are more about their affiliations than anything. I'm splitting it into protagonists, pirates, thieves, hyenas, and "other."
|
Good way to do it. :) You'll need to break any large task like that down into manageable goals. Each set can be done in about a day Id imagine? So you could do it like that.
|
Takes about two hours or so to finish one, but its mostly typing and drag-drop. And those are also the main characters, which have a LOT to write about.
They look like this: http://i.imgur.com/yPtZV.jpg Spoilers are written in grey at the bottom so its not like "OMGSPOILER!" |
Interesting. Have you been working on this comic of yours for a long time? It seems quite polished.
|
It will be three years on Tuesday. =DD
I've been working on this longer than I've been dating Liz. xDD |
lol. You keep thinking I know you better than I do. :) I don't know when you started dating her. How did the two of you meet by the way?
|
That wasn't meant to be an indicator, more of a sudden realization. ^^''
We've only been dating for two years, but we were dancing around the idea for about three years before that. Unfortunately, she was already dating someone, but not very seriously. Well, I met her while dressed like a pirate. Which was a pretty good indication that we would be immediately attracted to each other because she was also dressed as a pirate. It was Talk Like a Pirate Day, and we were the only two weirdos celebrating. We spent the rest of the day pretending to be drunk throughout campus and constructing a ship out of the couches in the lobby. I was living alone at the time because my dorm-mate had moved out, and we decided that the next year we should live together because she was, at the time, living with her friend from middle school. She found that she and Cait (her roommate) didn't quite get along in close quarters as they originally thought. And we had already developed mutual crushes on each other but she was still in a long-distance-and-fading relationship with her high school boyfriend. WELL Cait didn't take too well to having her best friend dump her for someone she just met (even though Cait was causing a ton of needless drama and roping Liz in, she was still thinking along the lines of "how dare she") and set up to sabotage both my friendship with Liz and Liz's relationship with Josh. Meanwhile, Cait's old boyfriend Jason was trying SUPER-hard to get into my pants and oblivious me was like... 'lolwut?' Three years later, Liz breaks it off with Josh and me, Liz, Jason, and a few other transients move into a house together. Since we already had been living in the same room for two years, we shared a room in the house... and sometimes engaged in 'platonic cuddling.' Weeeellll... one day after one of those... she looks over at me and says "you know... we get along pretty well. Wanna be my girlfriend?" |
Oh My God!! That's like the cutest story I've heard. :squee:
My lady and I met on a website, after I had been dumped by a girl I thought I was going to end up marrying, and then had three crappy and somewhat short relationships with girls I knew. She talked me through all of the crap that goes with something like that happening to you, and made me feel human again. She then talked me into going out with her, despite me warning her about how freaking weird I am. She totally accepts me for who I am, and I think she might honestly love me. Which sadly would be a change from most of the girls I've dated. lol. She's amazing. :love: |
Watching the Cape. :heart:
Is this the same comic that has the cannibalism, Hyena? |
Sarofset: D'aww... that's cute. <3
My roommate describes me and Liz's relationship as being a shojo manga. I think my memoirs might have to be in comic book form. xD fairywaif: Yes! The very same one. |
You know, it sounds interesting. If it's not too gory. I'm not a big fan of gore.
I can totally see that being a shoujo manga. :XD |
Its not really gory. There's a bit of blood and guts here and there, but for the most part its humor. Some of the themes are a little disturbing, but its something you can look past because the characters are so interesting.
|
Oh, well that's okay. I don't mind violence or anything, but I don't tend to watch movies where the whole point is guts flying everywhere.
It sounds interesting. Are you letting people read it? |
I'm not a fan of those, either. About the worst that happens here is that there are a few characters who severely enjoy murder. You see a few stabbings and some blood, but I don't really plan on things getting much worst than that.
Would certainly be hard to have readers if I didn't allow people to read it: The Bend - Updates Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday |
Shiny. Hopefully I can read it. :)
|
What do you mean "hopefully?" YOU SHOULD ALREADY BE READING IT! DDDD<
I am, of course, kidding. xD |
I keep saying I'm not going to read more web comics and just finish the ones I have but... I might as well! Besides, I have all but one finished currently. And that one is rather short.
|
Hyena: Oh you're damn good!! Did you do art school, or just practice a lot? Either way I see real natural talent. I'll be reading this now. :) I have all night too, because I can't see my lady tomorrow and all.
|
My roommate/editor has over fifty webcomics that she checks weekly. Its a little insane, really. But that's sort of one thing that makes her a really good editor: she knows what's overdone enough to stop me when something is becoming too obvious.
Sarofset: when I started I was in my junior year of art school. I've since graduated. xD |
"You know, my knee and your crotch are very close right now." XD I lolled so freaking hard!!
|
Ah... the first four books... so many memories...
|
I don't read 50 comics...yet. I'm getting there though!
|
Lol. I'm enjoying this. :) So what's everyone up to tomorrow?
|
Comic books are addicting. xDD
I have tomorrow off, and I'm going to be spending it sleeping and waiting for Liz's promise ring to come in the mail. <333333 |
Ah!! Awesome!! you gonna propose?
