    That tutorial thread is for special effects. What Mr. Chaos is talking about is a thread where Funnies makers can give advice and suggestions for people who want to start their own webcomic. Like what methods we use to pose, how we write our comics, etc.

    I haven't been making comics for very long, but I still have some advice I could give, so you can count me in as well.

    Exactly. Alot of people focus, in my opinion, on special effects like making eyes glow, explosions, and the like.

    But more important than that is understanding how a to make a static image not feel static, how to get spoken dialogue to flow properly, the importance of setting rules, so on. The thread would focus less on "Here is how to edit your photo after you've taken it" and more on "here is how to set up your figures so you don't have to edit after the fact" and "here is how to make it feel fresh, fast, and funny."

    With the Sniper, my Icepick is inspired by The White Tights, a russian myth about Amazon-like sniper women that hunt the Russian military.

    I've always seen Icepick as more female as well, mostly because of the all the curves on the arms. Very cool seeing why you picked it to be a her though.

    And, of course, she has highheels

    Just to let everyone know, I have now added a table of contents to the first post, so you can find any story arc you want!

    And, apparently, I've already done over 100 strips...who knew.

    I'll require more deliberation, but I'm definitely interested in helping.

    Cryno Fallen is one of my favorite recurring characters to write for. There is just something about taking the Big Bad and making him a singing star.

    Of course, once I introduce Shockwave is 2012...well, Cryno will have some competition.
