The merge, it wasn't necessarily a good idea. Now all the comics are going to be buried under Trainer Card threads, which I believe are more active.

Bored+Wii= New comic.

 

[Matt Silver]

Bored + Bored = KD 2.0

You mean what little comics there are to be buried under Trainer Cards...

 

[Esupio]

Exactly what I thought, as soon as I saw Trainer cards and Comics in the same forum, I though: Nice way to totally kill the comics off.

 

[Death Rogers]

I know, it was better when they were seperate. Most of the good comics were deleted, and now what's left of them are going to be buried unterneath a quagmire of threads devoted to idiots who can't function unless they have a trainer card in their signature.

 

[Bishopk]

idiots who can't function unless they have a trainer card in their signature.

ouch

A while back, i used to look at both of the forums, admiring work. I think that they could coexist. While TCs may get more posts, SCs get a sort of following that will help them stay active, or at least popular.

 

[Death Rogers]

ouch

I meant the ones who beg others to make them a trainer card. Not guys like you who make their own.

 

[[NovaPirate]]

Hremm.
Well, not it actually seems as if comics (when you can find them) are a bit more active, and due to the joining rule, this will probably decline or enlarge. Who knows? Either people will want to make comics so people will join their, or people will just wait for a comic to pop up and join it.

 

[Jedite1000]

what is a good program to make sprite comics other than paint

 

[Matt Silver]

Angel of Twilight? That's a cool replacement name (Before that you was Astral Maelstrom, and before that you were C. Salamence right?).

Jedite, depends if you want a simple comic or full blown FX. Programs like Photoshop and GIMP are good.

Anyway, for those who may or may not care, I am bringing Pokemon KD back, and hopefully it will be a permanent revival (Unlike previous attempts). I know I posted the same news a few pages ago, and this time, I probably mean it (And then some).

Later.

 

[[NovaPirate]]

Good to hear it. Thanks for the compliment as well. I look forward to see KD again.

And yes, you got the name chain right.
I don't think I'll start SC's again. I have around 15 failed projects lying around in folders. I have a bunch of maps though..

I use Paint, Jedite.

 

[Matt Silver]

Just for you Angel Of Twilight (And any other readers of KD), I might show you all what how the cast looks now.

Left to right is Jay, Angel, Cyrus, Elektra and Sam.

Enjoy!

EDIT: How the cast used to look is here:

I tried to change as much as I could, but still stay true to how they once looked.

 

[[NovaPirate]]

Seems like you've only changed palettes.
They still look better though.

Jay= Main Character
Angel= Someone Jay meets. Ex-Rocket?
Cyrus= Elektras bodygaurd, right?
Elektra: Meets Jay while in Route 1.
Sam: Bugcatcher..

Yeah you're pretty much right there. It's actually more like:

Jay: Main Character
Angel: Con Artist that poses as Rocket
Cyrus: Elektra's bodyguard
Elektra: Daughter of rich oil tycoon, meets Jay in Viridian City
Sam: Head of Bug Catcher's Union in Viridian Forest

But, yeah, good guesses.

Just read all of KD >.<

Whew.. Well, I'm caught up. Will you be continuing it, or remaking it?

I will start by continuing it from where it picked off, but make several comics which recap the basic events for new readers. After a while of boredom, I might remake the old ones all over again with awesome new graphics and stuff (Since I've improved so much better since when I started).

I might have to kind of give a soft reset to the whole comic, because Team Rocket is stupid, and I need some kind of new evil organisation with a similar objective (Shadow Pokemon and all).

'Till then.

 

[[NovaPirate]]

I finally got to finishing a comic, but it's really confuusing. I'll have to work on a prolouge for it >.<

Credits go out to Desgardes, Avatar, and Matt for giving me inspiration to actually work..

 

[Matt Silver]

It looks good. You used some original map in the last 4, frame size is good, sprites look fairly original (With the exception of the Clair recolour) with no mixed styles or anything too bad, speech bubbles are pretty well done too.

It is a little confusing without a prologue, but I can guess some plot details:

- The red head is an amnesiac

- That enemy ship is going to destroy the one with Wes, Claire and the two cops on it

- Some kind of reunion of strong Pokemon trainers?

Hope some more comes of this...

P.S. : Woo-hoo! Inspiration vote.

 

[Milosh]

Well now It seems I come and go like the seasons... I might be back but first I need some help from you guys. Gimme a suggestion for a photoshop program that is cheap but good.

If and when I continue comic making, they'll be even neater than before. consistent bubbles with speakers' names in it. Not to mention I might dive into grabbing back grounds from other games. And hopefully I'll get the colors right.
xD

One more thing, if anyone has or knows where to get complete sets of OW of the Johto gymleaders, it would be a big help.

 

[Jake]

Avatar made them, but you'll have to get his permission to use them.
Just PM him and he should tell you.

 

[Lordpenguin]

As for the cheap (free) graphics program, try Paint.net.
