A Slightly Different Tale

[Protoss General]

I like the new header. I wouldn't say it's scary, but definately a little unsettling (the good kind though) and builds a sense of eager anticipation.

[iPenguin]

This... is quite awesome.I love how the toa of powers series has evolved from a little stick figure thing to this. Thank god I started reading these as it has started to go into this direction.

[Taka Nuvia]

I know, I know, it's been ages since the last update, and I'm really sorry, but my motivation had sorta... disappeared after the mini-downtime. Ah well, I'm back with a new comics, and I hope you enjoy it. :317 - Prophecy?... I know it's weird :/

I like the detail in his face. It gives it a sorta more creepy, more serious look to it.

Thank you! =D Well I thought it would be fun to do a more 'creepy' version of the Toa if Powers, because usually the comics themselves tend to be rather... ridiculous compared to what I originally had in mind. Not that I don't like the development, but yeah, in a way the header was inspired by the way I originally wanted the mini-arc to turn out like.

I like the new header. I wouldn't say it's scary, but definately a little unsettling (the good kind though) and builds a sense of eager anticipation.

Glad you like it! =DI realized that having my very own alter-ego in the header might be a bit misleading, since the comics are (currently) focusing on someone else entirely... yeah. xD

Thank you, and I hope you'll keep on reading/enjoying these, even though I don't update that often ^^'

you see... omg you see... the future

[iPenguin]

I think the harrowing intent of the comic was ruined due to the fact that I read the conscience's rhyme in the tune of that Willy Wonka song.

[Taka Nuvia]

After what feels like an eternity I am once again back with a comic update... looks like I totally deserve the title of 'laziest comic artist in AWIII', huh? ._."18 - The trouble with plotsand no, I am totally not poking fun at my very own way of 'storytelling' Anyways, as you can see, this is a fully coloured update. ^^What else there is to say?Oh right, I completely messed up the last panel ;n;

you see... omg you see... the future

Kind of.

... that was absolutely not intended, but I hope it was at least entertaining. xD

[Highly Suspicious Person]

Oh man... Conscience in that fourth panel...Also, you are totally poking fun at your very own way of storytelling.

Awkward moments. Awesomeness. Wow, Kriya is up to more than enslavement? This is why you NEVER TRUST A MAKUTA. XDAand the thinly veiled apology comic! That was funny, though. Your coloring skills are great, whenever I try to hand-color I just make a mess of the drawing. Nice work.Also, the conscience in the fourth panel was hilarious.

[Sir Ptolemic Of Zyglak]

Re-read them all. I loved the hooded one in the first comic (Death?)Anyway, using emoticons for what they are thinking is awesome.Oh, and his conscious makes me laugh, he amuses me.

Aaaah, the suspence is killing me! :PWhat's Kryia up to? It's just like in TV series xDAnother awesome update ^^This time in with colour :DSeriously, I love how you colour, and you get better day by day!...loved Conscience towards the end xD

[Dragonfly the Luminescent]

I can relate to the comic author ... completely ...And I wish my conscience was that funny!

[Taka Nuvia]

19 [iNTERLUDE] an announcement... this was actually drawn while going by underground train. For those 30 minutes are the only time during the day where I both have the time, and also the creative energy to do something. ><Or rather, the first row of panels was drawn then. The rest was added in between lectures. ._.So art-wise, that's what you'll have to expect...IMPORTANT: this does not mean that the Toa of Powers arc won't be completed. But the story requires more 'advanced'/'epic' updates, which I just can't do right now... therefore, fillers. First one of them should be up this week already. Thanks for your understanding.

Oh man... Conscience in that fourth panel...Also, you are totally poking fun at your very own way of storytelling.

Conscience, due to being not an actual 'person', is very well aware of the 4th wall =PNo, I am totally not!

apology? Where? =O Oh, that...Thank you! =D Yeah, colouring is fun - but more importantly, a matter of practise, just as everything...^^

Nope, the hooded character is actuallyn "Creepy Coat" which means he's just exactly that: a coat floating around leaving sarcastic remarks. My sis came up with him, and allowed me to use him occasionally. ^^And glad to hear that! =D

Aaaah, the suspence is killing me! :PWhat's Kryia up to? It's just like in TV series xDAnother awesome update ^^This time in with colour :biggrin:Seriously, I love how you colour, and you get better day by day!...loved Conscience towards the end xD

Haha, no... the plot is far too simple for a tv series. :PBut thanks, I feel honoured x3Mhm... sadly I fear it will be the last of that kind of a while D:thanks again :3Apparently that is the best part of the comic =P

Glad to hear that! =DYeah, me too. Mine just gives me sleepless nights... ._.

[Taka Nuvia]

*totally not dead yet*F1: Plot draftNo, I am usually not satisfied with the plots I come up with. But at least I try on and hope it will get better with practise. It has worked for drawing, so...I hope the comic's not too awful. ._.

[Calvirick]

Art wise: I think your coming close to that border where you're finally able to keep your style the same as the panels change. IDK if that makes any sense to you. HAHA!Oh and that comic where you dig your story line and end with ";^;" made me laugh out loud. No joke...

[Taka Nuvia]

20 - Rise

 

Aaaaaaaand now, when you all aren't expecting me to even think about this anymore - COMIC update. Regular story one. And fairly... epic, if I dare to say so myself. Actually the second attempt at this part of the story, and it flows so much better now. :3

 

Hope it's not too dark/scary, though. :S

[Kaleidoscope Tekulo]

Okay, I know the character in the comic who writes The Toa of Powers (I still find it funny that that title is one word off from my old username, XP) has so far written about simple stuff, but this new comic is actually sounding interesting. If I existed in this comic-verse, I would totally pick up the next issue. XP

[Taka Nuvia]

Always the same (whew I really hope you can read my handwriting ^^")

 

Another comic update? Is anyone even reading those anymore xD Well.

Alternate title: "Apology comic the 100th - now with zombies!"

 

...because reasons. :3

a mere coincidence, I swear xD But yeah, sooner or later that always happens... among other things, of course ^^"

[fishers64]

For a "dying" comic, the latest update was pretty good - color and humor over the zombie topic thing are certainly improvements. Mind if I encourage you to keep it up?

[Control_Vee]

Great to see you back. Hope you manage to keep going, as seeing this update is usually quite an interesting occasion!

[ZTG]

I love the art style of your comics.There is just something about your art that I like, even though some can get a bit grim and dark, its still amazing. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who draws by hand when it comes to comics. Keep drawing on my friend

[Taka Nuvia]

Return to Fantasy

 

Yay, an update after... 5 months? Something like that. As you can see, I'm determined to use my summer holidays for getting on with this... yeah. I just hope it will all work out ^^"

 

*Return to Fantasy is an awesome song by Uriah Heep, BTW. ^^

[Makuta Luroka]

Yay more Toa of Powers!

[vataki]

glad to see a comic with some coloring in it! and a comic just in general!

 

hoorayyy

[Makuta of Time]

I like the little visorak on the curtain. So small.

[Hidron Nuva]

AN UPDATE!And colored, too :DI'm happy you're still making ASDT. Will you put on the lovely 'comic update' signature again? ^^

[Hexann]

Wow, it's been a while since I viewed these....

 

@Most Recent Comic: Karz, do I know that feeling. Still trying to make a comic for mine. I also, really like the lil' Visorak you put there. Nice touch.

[Taka Nuvia]

I am here to officially announce the continuation of ASDT!

To celebrate, there's not one, but two comics. Hope you enjoy, and any feedback is greatly appreciated, as always.

 

Comics:

 

21 - TOP: Merrily merrily

 

22 - Seriously?!

 

E: fixed a link

[Makuta Luroka]

Yay updates!

 

Unoriginality aside, I actually really like that twist, to be honest, though a TOP retcon might be interesting. I was actually excited to see a Makuta of Powers, but on the other hand, I liked TOP as he was. I feel like, if it was to be a dream, it should have shown more of MOP before he woke up.

 

Once again, yay updates!

Maybe now there will finally be significant activity again in the comics forum...

[~kh]

Well, I certainly chose the best time to check back up here. I've always admired your handiwork in pencil shading and the atmosphere you're able to pull off with them. The added color is also a welcome addition.

[-Windrider-]

I like the almost haphazard arrangement of the panels in comic 22. Despite this, it still reads quite easily and logically.

Welcome back to the forum!

[Taka Nuvia]

And here we go with the next comic! =D

 

23 - ToP: You wish

 

It's a bit huge, but ah well, I couldn't do it in fewer panels. Sorry. :|

 

~~~

 

Yay updates!

Ah, no worries - there should still be plenty of ToP (or MoP, if you prefer that.)

I just wanted to put an "it was all a dream!" in there because it is kind of a cliché plot twist, and one I was way too fond of when I was seven years old, thus used in every other story. ^^

 

But yeah, updates.

Thanks a lot. :3

I wish I could do coloured comics more often, but they just take forever to finish. D:

...I guess I see what you mean. Glad it's still readable. ^^"

And thank you! :3

[Taka Nuvia]

Currently things are more busy than expected - thus the next update will be delayed. I am sorry.

[Sir Ptolemic Of Zyglak]

Cooking contests are serious, you don't mess with that sort of thing. I ain't about that life._.

[Taka Nuvia]

24 - TOP: The Monologue Of Evil

 

Every good story has to have it! =D

 

 

~~

Cooking contests are serious, you don't mess with that sort of thing. I ain't about that life._.

 

They're only for the toughest of tough, I guess. D:

[-Windrider-]

I really like the "scratchy" look of the arms, legs, and hands. Evil indeed.

[Taka Nuvia]

I'm seriously considering changing the schedule to 3 weeks. Argh. Anyway:

Additionally, IRL stuff and other things are keeping me super-busy, but that sounds like excuses again, so I'll stop right here. Sorry again. :<

[Makuta Luroka]

I wonder how many of these comics are going to be apology comics...

[Hidron Nuva]

Due to Brickshelf being down (again), comics can't be displayed
