I had a webcomic when I was 15.
I tried to do single panel stuff. One of them was a spooky picture of slenderman but as you scroll down you see that he isn't wearing any pants and has hearts underwear.

Your comic can't be more embarrassing than that so

An old internet friend of mine did a subcomic on bob and george that he hand-drew most of the sprites for it himself. It was nearly 15 years ago, but I remember it being pretty decent, and I can't remember the guy's name but he had a ferret for an avatar. Don't remember what it was called, but it told a story following the games in order. I remember it being way better than anything else on that site.

BnG got me doing a bunch of sprite stuff and comics, and I started out making frankensteins and then started making scratch sprites pixel-by-pixel, the last one I did was a few of Sora from Kingdom Hearts about 12 years ago. Sprites are real hard to do good! The comics seem to have disappeared at some point during multiple PC transitions.



It's not very good and I probably could've gotten better but instead focused on other things. Some folks I knew went on to become professional sprite artists who made games though.

You're about 10 home computers too late to ask me to do that unfortunately.

edit: To give an idea of what they were though: Imagine me using the sprites from Sonic Battle, the GBA game, to try and emulate the already-dated pop culture humor and gags of That's My Sonic, and you will probably have a good idea of what it was like.

I felt like a real cool guy when I learned how to make smooth gradients in MS Paint because I didn't know about LimeWire and pirating stuff yet way back in the early 2000s.

ohhh noooooo I hope you mean gamercat and not the one I just made

I was the laziest motherfucker about speech bubbles. Not having access to photoshop meant I had to make speech bubbles by hand so I just drew rectangles around the dialogue and filled it in by hand with the paint bucket tool. Young teen me should have just downloaded GIMP and made things easy on himself. This conversation is bringing back some fond memories of spending time editing sprites to have mouths and chopping up/pasting their arms and bodies so I could make custom poses. :allears:

you're describing Zelda not dark souls

if your next post is to trash Zelda i will tell shigeru miyamoto personally of your transgression

To be fair, comparing Souls to Zelda isn't a terrible comparison, especially if you're thinking of the first Legend of Zelda. Souls doesn't have much in the way of puzzles and it doesn't do that Zelda thing of "get an item that unlocks new things, go back to old areas to find hidden items with it," but the first Zelda game hadn't really fully established that formula yet. I don't think it'd be too off-base to say that Dark Souls is like if you took the first Legend of Zelda and made it 3D (and more grimdark).

(I say Dark Souls and not Demon's Souls because Demon's Souls doesn't have an "overworld," so it's not quite as apt a comparison.)

I think that Souls compares more easily to Castlevania than Zelda, but Zelda comparisons aren't totally off, either.

How does Doomguy hold the BFG?

CJacobs posted:

There's probably an official render of him holding it out there somewhere, but in the meantime, I have a couple theories.



We already know Doomguy has the upper body strength of a loving juggernaut, so this layout assumes that the top handle is the trigger to fire it, and the bottom bar-looking-thing is an auxiliary handle for your other hand, like on a minigun. This one is less logical, but more likely than the second option, because this way corresponds with how the sprite doesn't show either of Doomguy's hands.



This one assumes the same of the handle on top, but also assumes that the grooved surface on the bottom is supposed to be a handguard of some kind. This makes slightly more sense logically because the BFG is presumably heavy as poo poo, but if it were held this way you'd probably be able to see Doomguy's arm coming out of the bottom.



Of the three I drew, though, I feel this one makes the most sense.

edit: Some people assume the grey bars are a harness and it goes around your shoulders, but I like my ideas better, particularly the third one
