The Legendary TNT Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Woah. First comic and I basically think you need to rename it to TNT's comics, because that's the story of my life! Anyway, excellent job! I especially liked how you made it drop off, too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishers64 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 SUSPENSE. Also philosophical. Philosophical suspense? That's a new one. At least it isn't trying to be funny in a way I don't get, so yeah. 1 Quote Hero Factory RPG | Bionicle Mafia XXIX: Storyline & Theories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hexann Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Very thought-provoking. It's a bit nostalgic to see someone still using Chimoru Six-Shade. The fact that this comic is a drama is intriguing considering the state of comedy the comics forum has been in. I've never read your works before. I already like them; no doubt. Consider me a follower of this topic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvirick Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) By far the most feelings I've read in a comic on BZPower. Very uh...without copying what everyone else...philosophical. I like how it's easy to read. And I also enjoyed while I read it, I briefly got caught up in placing in my own judgement of the "philosopher's conundrum" and then boom you drop the girl bomb. Nicely done. Edited June 10, 2014 by Calvirick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you could do is base Rezna's bad memories of this girl stuff and some how associate it with Driver's Ed. Some how in my mind that would turn into something more tragic than Will Smith's "7 Pounds". ...actually don't write that comic... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Ptolemic Of Zyglak Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I know we really need to get off the subject of drivers ed, but I dozed off in that class....while being the driver. No one even noticed, which is the worrisome part. ANYWAY. Back to the comic at hand. You could try to add some humor to it, just do it subtly. Maybe pull something like Shakespeare would I guess, hidden amongst the seriousness or the tragedy or what have you there could be tiny pockets of comedy. Or something, I don't know, I just work here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvirick Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 If this could be considered by higher authority as constructive criticism: Pretend you're a professional comic strip artist, if you can think and plan ahead on paper or in a Microsoft document, you will be able to plan when to produce comics for effectively. I mean if you're serious about it of course. That's something I wish I had done to my previous comics, because I was definitely serious about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the least, I should have an outline. -Rez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvirick Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Build an outline, and write like 5 comics maybe in a span of two days. Then once a week, make another one, whilst also producing (in GIMP/Photoshop) the first comic you made. That way, you're producing one comic, while at the same time making the next week's script. It still takes work, but it frees up your schedule a little bit, and makes it easier for you to add and cut from the original script while actually producing the comic. And if you improve, you could try making two comics two days per week and then make that number higher till you're making daily strips. But that's if you choose to do it, and if you figure out making comics while having a life at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
