Hello y'all, just thought I'd try my hand with a serious comic. Sorry about the poor photoshopping....I'm mostly good at gunshots and the like, so the effects here didn't come out as planned...
Comments and criticism greatly appreciated!
And, without further ado, I give you...

Interesting start, but I can't at all tell what's happening in the last panel, and the other panels are pretty dark, and lastly, use white instead of black on the speech bubble arrows please.
Definitely interesting, I'm wondering who's out there killing somewhat indiscriminately...a con or something else???

Ok, I know it's hard to tell, but the last panel is a sword coming out. Like I said, my photoshopping skills are sub-par.
Sorry about the darkness. I was working at 1am and my battery was runninglow so I couldn't use flash...
Thanks for the comment!
:D

I must say, this is quite intriguing... Awesome. I love the blades there! :D
Also, what happened to ANOTHER comic...?

Not a bad start, and I figured finally what the last panel was all about. Just a little detail though; Why human characters would be using Transformers's words of curse, unless if they're not. I just think that's a little awkward.
But dont' take that as a major thing, I think you are buildin' up a good mood with the darker setting visually.

Nice start, but there are things that are hard to watch with the dark setting.

Very nice start, and interesting to see that the humans don't believe in "Decepticons."
I actually quite liked the dark lighting: I assumed it's supposed to be night. (Though if it wasn't then yeah, maybe a little more light wouldn't hurt. Still nice and detailed photography though.)

See, maybe it's because I know what Wreckage's arm blade looks like, but to me those two panels are pretty clear. And rather nicely bad-ass. :thumb

Thanks y'all! Next installment should be in the next couple of days, after I get some new batteries for my camera. As always, C&C make a comic writer feel appreciated! :D

ANOTHER comic... is being put on hold until I can get some TFs I need...sorry about the wait...

Two things:
About the Decepticons, well, plotlines involving them will have more twists then those damn plastic twisty things.
And about Wreckage's arm blade...dang, you worked it ou- I mean Wreckage? who's Wreckage? :sly2:

That's like so many Dalek stories in Doctor Who, where the big reveal at the end of the first episode is the Daleks, when the title of the story has already given it away. :D
Nice start... so who are the Lego guys? Sector 7?
Boy who screams
05-14-2008, 06:10 AM
Nah. The LEGO people form the majority of the population of the room. The ones in that episode we just police type guys.
Yeah, I have barely any TFs, but I have a plotline revolving around that, so it's all good!
:D

Ah, I guess if I would've paid more attention to the THUMP! then I might have figured out it was Wreckage and his sword. This is gonna be bad for the Legomen me thinks.

Story's alright so far :). I like the suspense at the end of the first strip. I'm not too hooked yet, but I'll be viewing this thread from time to time ;)

Well, I just downloaded GIMP and as soon as I find out how the hell I meant to use it (layer? What's a layer?!?!), we'll find out...

So pretty much, I can't use GIMP...
I'll guess I'll keep using Corel Photopaint 7...

Cool. Always nice to see Lego men kickin' ass and standing up for themselves.
GIMP is a crackin' peice of software, once you get the hang of it. It's worth persevering. If you need any help with it, PM me and I'll do my best to answer any GIMP-Y issues you have.

Thanks for the support. Currently my main problem with GIMP is that, after 7 years of Corel, it's just completely alien to me. I might contact you later, when this things becomes action-y.
