First off, welcome to BZPower and congratulations on starting your own comic series!You're off to a good start! I like the use of Six Shade Chimoru, as well as hi-quality backgrounds, but I think what it needs is more variety in the backgrounds. Maybe some scenery or something. Also, I kind of find the red text hard to read, but maybe that's just because I'm in a darkish room with a really bright screen...Oh, and the panels are kind of... out of alignment... Maybe try to construct a template with uniformly sized panels?One last thing... Is Biocryptid a PGS, or is he just helping you out?Keep up the good work.--

Just FYI, you'd be better off saving as .PNG. It's as good quality as the .BMP, but it takes up less memory.Nice job starting a comic, though.

One last thing... Is Biocryptid a PGS, or is he just helping you out?

No he's just a PGS, and sorry guys if I didn't get your attitudes right. Also I'll probably try to make a Bionicle storyline not set in the real world with a Bionicle twist. (Whoa, that was redundant.)I've also said in the test comics that I gave credit to Biocry for his sprites. What I did was split the character sheets seperatelyAnyways,I made a new episode a while back, I'll be releasing the episode when I put it on majhost.I use MSPaint. Sure it's a Pain"in the but"T (See what I did there?) but I'm calm with it because I copy the sprites and paste them in the right place.The new episode, when it's released tell me if it's random because I'm not sure if it's random. But I will reveal what happens in the episode after the episode.

Just FYI, you'd be better off saving as .PNG. It's as good quality as the .BMP, but it takes up less memory.Nice job starting a comic, though.

I'll be doing new episodes in .PNG format, Pirok. Thanks for the feedback!New episode coming soon! Edited November 18, 2012 by Angrok Va

New Story arc 1 episode! http://www.majhost.com/gallery/ToaKyrosTim/Comics/comic_2.2.pngAuthor's notes:Just who created that explosion? All will be known next episode!Also: no, the background of the comic didn't get old quick. I changed the color to grey.Also also: my brother Chris made Story Arc 2 episode 1. And comic 5.KTHXBAI

[Angrok Va Mata]

New story arc 1 episode:Episode 2.3! Enjoy.http://www.majhost.c...s/comic_2.3.pngAuthor's notes:Tah-dah! I'm now a shapeshifter! (My avatar changed.)The first running gag: YOU so-and-so? Yes, I so-and-so.If you wonder how I made that E with a punctuation, I pressed (on the Dell laptop) Fn, Alt, 1, 3, and 0. And here's the result:éHere's your symbol, have a nice day!Also: I used MSPaint for the Bug Eyes, and Screaming Mouth, as well as the explosion, and the remains of me.As well as the episodes.Season 2 is coming, and yes the 2nd story arc will be finished in S2. /

Here it is, S2 Episode 1.Warning: May contain randomness. Read at your own risk.http://www.majhost.com/gallery/ToaKyrosTim/Comics/s2_episode_1.png /

I still think it's funny how you use Utah's body for like for your own character. But really though dude, I have no clue what that particular character's name is. (the one with Utah's body and Kanohi Ignika)

[Angrok Va Mata]

My avatar has the Kanohi Calix not Ignika. (Not anymore.) Same with my comic design, except in the comics, I have a Hau. (Tahu's mask, remember?)And the torso and legs are Exon, not Utah.Also, new episode coming soon.

http://www.majhost.c...2_episode_2.pngSo, anyways, Vakama fired a "Reconstitutes at random" Kanoka Disk.Unlike Bionicle comic 17, "RAR" dosen't make me something evil and disgusting.Anyways, a Vahki mistakens me as a criminal. Edited November 18, 2012 by Angrok Va

[Calvirick]

I actually meant another character, but it doesn't matter anymore. Isn't that Biocryptid's background?

[Angrok Va Mata]

Yes that is.And I will be making a new comic. (That means I haven't given up! YAY! )

OK, so.I'm going to do something I don't do often - I'm going to be helpful. The only real thing that bugs me about your comics are the graphics, and one key feature of them - the re-sizing. Now, as a user of MSPaint, I can tell what you're doing wrong (I did the same thing in my old comics): you're re-sizing the sprites by using the select tool on them and then stretching from the corners. Don't do that. It looks ugly.What you SHOULD do is select the sprite with the select tool and then right-click the selection.This should bring up a menu - click on Stretch/skew.This brings up the Stretch and Skew menu. You'll only need the stretch portion of it.All you'll need to do is enter the percentage you want the selection re-sized by (e.g. 200 if you want it to be twice the size, 300 if you want thrice, etc) under horizontal and vertical.Now, it is crucial that you enter the same number under both horizontal and vertical, otherwise it won't work perfectly. Here is a little comparison image, showing the same sprite (credit to Soran) re-sized using two methods - mine (left), and yours (right). So, yeah. I hope I've been at least a little bit of help to you.Take care.

Unfourtunately, this was posted after I made a,NEW EPISODE!!!http://www.majhost.c...2_episode_3.pngI promise that new episodes will use this technique. (Spelling correct?)No replies? Darn. Edited September 16, 2012 by Nikolai Medtner

[Angrok Va Mata]

New episode!! Yay!And the Rayg sprites in question were made with the Rayg Sprite Maker, which, in turn, are credit to Rayg.I will still use the chimoru sprites. Probably the format for later on in the saga would be animesque.Take note of Dume's lack of a body in the 2nd panel.Backgrounds credit to TNT-DJ Vezon.I will probably change my avatar. Actually, I have made in case this day ever came. And it has. I've been planning this change for a while now.New episode will be coming soon. Maybe I shouldn't say this so many times. New episode WILL be coming very soon. That is, if the revival limit hasn't been exceeded... Edit: No revival in Comics to worry about! But please do not double post unless you have a new comic to show. Merging...-Wind-
