Okay, I finally have a place to praise your style. That LTSL comic looked great! Your sprites/drawings/whatevers look fantastic and very original. Probably the most accurate kit to the movie style.
Wow. You guys either have a huge fridge, or label your whole house as one big one.

Daybreak: Awesome title. I feel like I've seen the government chasing people angle a lot in RZ series, but since I haven't seen many make it very far, I'll hold off comments on that aspect until you get further.
It looks quite nice though. I like your black and white at the end. Drama!

I can't wait to see more.

J-K out.

[Roger Jacobsen]

@LSTL Must be very cold.

@Daybreak What could he have found?

These are absolutely spectacular. Do you hand-drawn your own sprites?

[Soran]

Thanks for the comments guys, really appreciate it.

@Justax-Kal: Thanks for the comment/critique: Totally a big fridge, and I like the title of Daybreak too. Took me two hours to figure out what I would name it. I'm hoping to make both series reach a total of 50 comics. If people like the comics after that then I will probably make season 2 for both. I actually have alot of comics already premade, I'm only posting them 1 a day though, and one 1 comic series a day. I'm posting them like that mainly to conserve time to make the other comics so you guys wont have to wait as much for future ones.

@Kodrak: Thanks for comments, and you'll see what he found soon. Technically I do hand drawn my sprites. the Drawing/Sprite is basically a 1-2month project just trying to get the shading right and everything. I did hand draw the sprites, but in the comics I just copy and past em with the peices I have made, similar to Rzmik. It's basically an over sized sprite kit in a way.

Today I'm going to be posting 1 new comics from either comic series, choose which one you would like.

[Roger Jacobsen]

LTSL!

Working ahead, are we? Very good idea.

I see. So it wouldn't take 2 months for me to come into the comics, would it?!?!

[King Joe]

You keep shovels in the fridge? Sounds like my kinda place. Great comics Soran. I really like the feel of Daybreak as well, I look forward to more from both series.

[Soran]

@Kodrak: I can assure you it wont be two months but it will end up being quite a while, probably one month since I'm only posting one opposite comic a day. If more people vote for LTSL I will post the second LTSL comic today.

@King Joe: Thanks for the comment. Shovels belong in fridges.

Also, I wanted to add, your Hau looks like Admiral Ackbar's face.
Probably because of the curved line in the middle.

[Soran]

In a way it does look like that.... O_o
Wasn't intended to make it look like that.
I originally was going to make this kit seem like an over sized Xaniskit, and give them facial expressions and the likes.
Thanks for the comment.

Remember: vote for which comic you would like posted today, I will only post 1 a day.

Edited by Soran, Feb 17 2012 - 11:33 AM.

[BioCry]

Hm.

I really like the style of your comics.

It looks really nice, and it's just plain awesome.

I look forward to seeing more from you.

[Calvirick]

Got some good stuff here, man. I like your sprites. Though they could use some more expression, but I'm sure that's difficult because of how much detail you've already got.

In your suburban comic, are they living outside? Or it is one of those fancy outdoors-inside-your-house house?

[Roger Jacobsen]

You know, I always thought you were the red guy (Akino) but when I saw the 1st LTSL I was like "woah".

[Soran]

@Biocryptid: Thank you very much.

@Calvirick: Thanks, and its not really a issue for it being detailed, more so I'm terrible at making expressions. X_x

@Kodrak: I never was into the whole lead character is signature character, so I put my signature character, Soran, as a secondary character to Akino. Only reason my Avatar is Akino is because at the time when I made it I didnt finish Soran's mask.

Thank you very much guys for your replies, and now I don't feel guilty for double posting this:

Tunnels to Mata Nui

Enjoy the next comic, and thank you guys for voting.
Tomorrow's comic will be Daybreak's Comic 2. The Predator.

Random Trivia: This was first comic to use walking pose. I added the Doritos, and sports drink behind Soran after I made the comic.

[Roger Jacobsen]

1. Double posting with new material is allowed.

2. It'll take him a while to do that...

[Soran]

@Kodrak: Indeed it will take him a while. Akino shows determination (and greed) at its finest.

[Roger Jacobsen]

So, who's the black Miru?

[Soran]

You'll see very soon. He is the reason why I haven't introduced any of the Pgs's yet. He will be introduced soon.

~Soran

(PS: You just gave me new found fondness in my art by identifying it as a Miru. Was worried it didn't look that much like it since I colored in the mask 'slots'.)

[Roger Jacobsen]

I knew it was Lewa's mask, but I forgot the name and had to look it up.

[Soran]

Also, I wanted to add, your Hau looks like Admiral Ackbar's face.
Probably because of the curved line in the middle.

It does look like his face now that I think about it...

IT'S A TRAP!

You just inspired a comic, thank you very much.

~Soran

[Roger Jacobsen]

Naw, naw, you gotta have two panels, and ask people to find the difference. XD

[Soran]

@Kodrak: Haha, nice idea.

Expect an update later tonight guys, I've decided to post the comics every night instead of early day.

~Soran

[Roger Jacobsen]

It does look a bit funky with both of us having such big banners

Also, can't wait!

[Soran]

New Daybreak Comic:

Comic 2. The Predator

The story starts to introduce some more details concerning the storyline and gives a little hint on a few key elements to the storyline.
Hope you enjoy the comic.

~Soran

[Justax-Kal]

And now we see the reason for it all... I'm kind of surprised that the TTT&DF is so public for such a sensitive subject of study.
Still this should be fun to watch unfold.

J-K out.

[Soran]

@Justax-Kal: Nice acronym. When it comes to news reporters, they go to any extant to get whatever juicy story they can get. Murder is just the story they needed even if it was top secret, since apparently the government is willing to talk about it freely it must not be that secretive or so they may think.

Thanks for the comment.
~Soran

[Calvirick]

I got it. The colleague is from the future and is altering the space and time continuum!! =D

[Soran]

@Calvirick: That could be it, you will have to wait and see if you are correct. Thanks for the comment.


Well since its close to Valentine's Day I might as well make a comic for it.

Valentine Messages

Enjoy the comic.

~Soran

[JiMing]

Yeah, Valentines Day is a real bummer to singles. Especially Akino.

[Soran]

Always thought of Valentines day as a second Halloween because of all the chocolate given out. Never liked Valentine's day... I never got chocolate... not like I actually like Chocolate...Its the thought that counts. This was one of my favorite comics to make because of all the little tiny details I put everywhere in the comic.

Whoever can name all of the details in the Valentine's Day comic first will win an early Guest Star/Cameo comic. Good luck everyone. I will PM the winner additional info.

~Soran

(Hint: They are in the First Panel.)

Edited by Soran, Feb 18 2012 - 01:53 AM.

[Calvirick]

Well two things. Unless Valentines is a different date from where you live or you just missed it.

And two that comic hit me *puts finger on heart* RIGHT there.

Nice going. What a bummer though.

[Justax-Kal]

What kind of fool missends an e-mail like that? Not only was she careless, but heartless as well.
Sorry, Akino. She probably wasn't worth it anyway if she can't send an e-mail like that to the right person, though.

I liked the reference to LR's "Tahoo!". I like the replacement you did with the contacts icon. Did you pixel that?

J-K out.

[Emperor Sirius]

I find it funny how fast she sent back that wrong person e-mail.

[Roger Jacobsen]

I missed stuff. Goshdangit.

@Daybreak Nice job... I like the work you've put into that. And the plot thickens.

@Valentine's Day comic Classic. Poor Akino, however.

[Soran]

Congratulations Justax-Kal. I will Pm you shortly on other details and such.

@Calvirick: By two things what did you mean?

@Justax-Kal: Yes she is heartless, but thats why he likes her. Shes just like those stereotype cheerleaders. I was surprised you knew where it was from, I've always been a fan of LR's comics so I had to put a reference somewhere, and I did pixel that.

@Driken Toa of Shadows: Me too, haha. If you miss-sent a love letter I'm pretty sure you would reply quickly if you realised it was for wrong person.

@Kodrak: Thanks, Daybreak is actually one of my favorite series to make. Akino is full of heartbreak...

[Justax-Kal]

I used that "Tahoo!" joke reference to LR in one of my old series. That's how I remembered. Puns...
Knowing that about her, I wouldn't put it past her to have sent that e-mail on purpose.

J-K out.

[Soran]

Since I'll be working on the Guest Star comic the rest of the day, I'll post a comic right now.

Wait, wut?

Enjoy the comic.

Status on Comic I'm working on currently. 2/100% done. Yay...

[Calvirick]

Cool! Robot houses for the win man.

and by two things, ignore that, I meant something else but that's not important anymore.

[Soran]

@Calvirick: Indeed, robot houses for the win. Both series take place before the Toa Metru became Toa. So they live on top of the crashed Mata-Nui robot. Thanks for the comment.

Status of Guest Star Comic: 4/100% done.

Edited by Soran, Feb 18 2012 - 04:43 PM.

[Roger Jacobsen]

Wait, the title of the previous comic was Tunnels to Mata-Nui . Are they on Mata-Nui or Metru-Nui?

[Soran]

@Kodrak: They live on Metru-Nui. The reason why the other comic was called Tunnels to Mata-Nui is because of how in cartoons alot of people try to dig a tunnel to China. It is meant to have the same effect. So Akino is digging a tunnel to Mata-Nui (China) and he lives in Metru-Nui. Thanks for the comment.
