That comic was pure AWESOMENESS!

DP 5 WORDS! You do that all the time it's very annoying! It's why you may never be a MOD. Follow the Rules! Mad

That better? As it it makes an enormous difference... Roll Eyes

Except that this is #21 in last 5 days. Roll Eyes

This left me speechless. This has to be one of the best comics the CABG has ever had!

Well, I've got a few notes.

First off, congrats. You clearly are the best story-teller ( Waaa!

) this site has got. The whole siries was epic. The story was fantastic. While I would of liked a little... more character development, and a bit more haracters over-all, you did add in a nice amount of people as we neared the end.

You also are clearly the best GIMPer here. I'm no where close to you, in any way. I'm still trying to figure out basic ideas.

Okay, here's my few gripes, which are good if you want to be better.

-I want more character. Your numbers are almost right, you just need a few more.
-I want more character development. Again, almost there.
-For this episode specifically: I didn't like the very very end. i hate enmies that go down like that. Why. You created this huge back story, Turkai knew him, he had fought him before... and then? Ied shot him in the back? He charged into battle un protected, and got shot in the back by a man with no grudge against him?

Over all awesome. Where was the screen you deleted supposed to go?

This is great but some of the pictures are kind of blury but now lets look at the good, critics rate it 2 thumbs up (me), and it is dramatic it will be a hit!

Good god Sial, this is an amazing end to a superb series, great job my friend.

by Sialboats Wed Jan 21, 2009 11:40 pm

Many thanks for the input, guys!

I'll adress that in my next series . I've been thinking about that one contest submission of mine, and the more refined possibilities for it . I've also chosen Ansion because for once they're not ramps-down, pew, pew, lazors. They've got some time to breathe, and some time for me to make them deeper.

-I want more character development. Again, almost there.

Again, to be adressed .

-For this episode specifically: I didn't like the very very end. i hate enmies that go down like that. Why. You created this huge back story, Turkai knew him, he had fought him before... and then? Ied shot him in the back? He charged into battle un protected, and got shot in the back by a man with no grudge against him?

My problem was, I was blinded by the concept of making it similar to something I had seen before. I'm planing to refine this revenge concept by introducing the daughter of the Sep General, Captain Laurena Amador. More backstory on Amador himself, too. Hence, Vendetta.

Over all awesome. Where was the screen you deleted supposed to go?

In the chase . Was a very nice screen, but I acidentally named another picture the same as it, and overwrote it. Might seem a little rushed at points.

One, the blurryness is intended. I don't think a severely wounded fellow would see very clearly.

Two, you are not a critic, you've not posted a single MOC, Mr. Seventeen Posts.

Thirdly, it's been a hit on fifteen occasions. You give another MOC, with still-expanding style and effect a 100 (failing to tell hin about how he could improve or what attributes to maintain), but call mine formative, it with the potential to "be a hit" (also failing to tell me about what to improve or what attributes to maintain).

I don't mean to come off as defensive ( Embarassed

), but you really need to get something behind you before throwing out this half-arsed critique. Zeph just gave me critique. Not you.

I agree, and slightly know what you mean. I haven't been severely injured, but I have gotten a bad dizzy spell once to the point where I have fainted, and everything got blurry and the sounds were just echos in my head. So I would imagine that's the way Ied was feeling, because dizziness is a symptom of losing alot of blood! Wink

So good play on that part. Smile

Cool, how did you get those affects in the comic? :scratch:

I want to make one but I need to know how to post like laser shots explosions and stuff like that. If you know how please PM me. Smile

by Thunder-blade Thu Jan 22, 2009 5:38 am

I do have the GIMP tutorials thread in the Decals and Techniques thread you know...

I like the 8th pic because it's RC. Surprised

He uses the program GIMP to make said effects.

Look, you don't need to quote yourself, and especially put nothing in your quote.

Anyhow, since I posted here, I might as well save me from banishment by saying...

You are the master of Comics here, your SFX is outstanding! It's hard to think you learned all this after Thunder posted GIMP here, I think you've done Photoshop before... Wink

I agree, a little too much language.

But have you seen videos of real military combat? Sial's dialogue is tame compared to that! Razz

by Thunder-blade Fri Feb 13, 2009 8:06 pm

Also, you have to remember that this is a 13+ site...

I try to curb back as much as I can without making it seem to kiddified (see The Clone Wars TV show). If you've ever watched Band of Brothers, or Black Hawk Down, they do a real good job of making the G.I.s' speach pattern "realistic" Shocked

.

Besides, I've always asserted that invective is harmless. If I were to put the word "ass" infront of someone who didn't understand english, they'd look at me funny and walk away. There was a really good commercial about this, once. Had a German family singing an catchy American rap song, which was saying some rather.... racy things.

Lol, you can't stop us from watching our language.

Why don't you join the Army, and see what it feels like to see your partner get shot by a dozen bullets from a magazine? Obviously, you're gonna yell out 'Dam(n)! Are you f**king okay?!'. Trust me, they say f**k in war, this is so toned down.

He used GIMP, if you ever followed along.

I actually felt sad when he died!
