Smarty_Arty is back with a new comic
 
This is my second try to make a sprite comic and I am already aware of my bad grammar so you don't need to mention that. Another frequently asked question is 'why are you putting the text in a panel under the comic?' it doesn't take a genius to figure that out does it? The answer is quite simple actualy, if you put the text in speech bubbles you'd have to make countless comics to give the reader the information he/she needs, that's why I prefer the 'panel system'.

You might also be wandering why there aren't any of those status bar thingies on the battle screen, that is because I want the battles to look animeish.

*NOTE* This comic might contain some rude language so if you're sensitive don't read it.

~Part one, a new home~
~Part two, Red's first pokemon~
~Part three, the adventure begins~
~Part 4, The golden ekans~
~Part 5, Total humiliation~
~Part 6, pwned by a sleep talker~

Credits go to:
The spriter's resources for the sprites
Signomi for inspiring me, you might aswell check out her comic too
Pokemonelite for the battle sprites

~Extra stuff~

King zeon gave me a stamp of pwnage http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b29/Korru_Buku_Valento/StampofPwnage.png don't ask why it's called that, you should just go ask king zeon ^^

Sprites and stuff ripped or made by me:

Its cool man.
I like the frame idia :) Looking forward to next eppy.

Smarties-chan October 9th, 2005 9:36 AM

Glad you like it =) I'm actualy making the second eppy right now.

Goatman56 October 9th, 2005 10:02 AM

Hmm its different. I haven't seen this done before. Well anyways text under the panel (I don't like), seems sort of like a R/S thing, the battle system seems pretty basic. But other than that its nice, 7/10 highest grade i've given a pokemon comic in awhile.

Smarties-chan October 9th, 2005 10:14 AM

Yayness I got good feedback =) Well, everyone I have to go now so the next part will be up tomorrow.

Signomi October 9th, 2005 10:20 AM

Ah yes, I haven't seen this done before either ^^ Good use of decoration. Plus it's a little too early in the comic for me to give a proper rating, but I like how it's going so far smarty_arty ^.^ Keep it up dude!

Smarties-chan October 10th, 2005 3:53 AM

I'm glad everyone likes it, but I prefer to make my own characters so I'll have to refuse the offers to join the comic. Well, of I go to make the next part of the comic then.
*EDIT* Dark summoner don't spam please I don't want this thread locked.

Ark Kuvis October 10th, 2005 4:24 AM

nice. Is tht Bob Crunt? XD
Text Bubbles are your friend....but basicly, this comic is good. Continue plz.

Smarties-chan October 10th, 2005 9:24 AM

Thanks for the good comments everyone, I haven't had time to reply because I was making my comic. Well it's up now so just go check my first post.

Smarties-chan October 14th, 2005 10:35 AM

Sorry for the double post, but I don't want this to die and the third part is up.

Eon-Rider October 15th, 2005 3:14 AM

They're lookin' pretty good so far. I want to see the 4th ep!

Smarties-chan October 15th, 2005 3:18 AM

Thanks =) I might get two parts up today if I feel really inspired.

Alter Ego October 20th, 2005 9:53 AM

My, my...double posting, aren't we Arty? *Wags index finer dissaprovingly* Very naughty...

Well, your comic is technically good, but your chars need more personality. I mean, this is a kid of what? 14 or something? And he's still speaking completely formal...try to give the different characters different speech patterns to make them more interesting. Oh, and I do agree that speech bubbles are your friends. It gets kinds of tedious to keep shifting your eyes between the box at the bottom and the screen where the actual action is going on, but I think that I've expressed these opinions earlier. Ah well, keep at it. ^^

Smarties-chan October 21st, 2005 2:57 AM

Since so many people say I should use speech bubbles I will.
Btw. The new part is up and it will be the last part with the 'panel system' I know the comic isn't funny and interesting yet, but it will be it might take some parts before it will, but trust me it will get interesting, my brother already gave me a few ideas when I was playing around making trainer sprites.

Eon-Rider October 21st, 2005 3:28 AM

Cool! A shiny Ekans... I was wondering at first why the thing was brownish!

Shiny Meganium October 21st, 2005 4:41 AM

The comic is awesome! Keep it up! I can't wait for the next episode.

Smarties-chan October 21st, 2005 9:14 AM

Well, everyone the new part is up and it has *gasps* speech bubbles. Enjoy.

No! Now I have competition in the speechbubble department. ;)

Well, I must say that I enjoy your comic somewhat so far. I like the golden ekans, but what importance will it be later on? Or is it just a shiny? Anyhoo... did you make that totodile overworld sprite? If so... I would be interested in requesting some from you. ^_^

King Zeon October 21st, 2005 8:51 PM

This comic is very good. I did like your frame text idea at the beginning, but the transparent Speech Bubbles are genius. Keep up the good work, I give it a 9/10, which means you get the Stamp of Pwnage!

Well, that totodile overworld sprite is one of those dolls in pokemon emerald, I'm not that good with overworld sprites, I have only recently started making them *EDIT* I just found out I'm actualy pretty good at them, here's my first pokemon overworld sprite made completely from a scratch http://img489.imageshack.us/img489/6866/squirtleoverworld6hm.png . That ekans will have a somewhat important part in the comic later on, but right now it's just shiny, but the totodile is very special. I won't tell more yet, you'll see later.

I didn't really like the speech bubbles filling up the whole screen so I made them transparent, otherwise you wouldn't see much of what's going on. I'm glad you like the transparent speech bubbles. A stamp of pwnage? *Goes to update his first post*

I got a Stamp of Pwnage too! ;) I should make some sort of award, shouldn't I? *plans* Anyways, could you rip all the other pokémon dolls for me, say with their side and back and front poses? That would be super-dee-duperly awesome, if you would. You are a hacker, aren't you?

Wow awesome comic Smarty, I hope to see more.
