4dude Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Can't figure out how to get the links working, sorry. Quote Mark4dude's Comics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziko Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) Can't figure out how to get the links working, sorry.You'll need to upload them to an image hosting site like Brickshelf or Majhost (I find those to be the simplest image hosts to use).If you used one of those, you would need to add a folder to your gallery and upload the images you want to use into it. To get the image URL to link to, you would click on the image until it's all that's left on the screen (for example, this page instead of this page).

4dude Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Okay, I think I have it working now. Thanks for your help. Quote Mark4dude's Comics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hordaki Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Pretty good comics you have here, 4dude. I especially liked the "To Be Continued... Right Now" part. Keep it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4dude Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 Opps! Sorry about the word filter thing. I'm not sure which word it was, so I'll just cut out any that may be in question and post the edited version of the Intro comic.

4dude Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 I now have comic 3 posted. I decided to swtich it to two panels per row to make it easier to read. Quote Mark4dude's Comics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Absorba- Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 My god, that's a long comic.Anyways, this reminds me of my first comic series, Absorbed Studios. Anyways, let me give you the advice I was given back then:First off, while I admire simplicity, the backgrounds are kind of bland. I know those colors for the background on sight. The default colors for a regular MS Paint. It's not bad, of course, but a little variety pattern or just a simple custom color could help brighten it up.Second, try to be able to add more expression to the characters. For example, Jon in the first few panels doesn't seem very hot... just a small pose and a default sweat drop. Also, Duckfan doesn't look too passed out in the third panel. Try adding more sweat and make him look a little shriveled up.Next, if you're going to make such large panels for your comics, take advantage of this by adding more close-ups via enlarging the characters. Having them all the same size all the time is kind of boring after a while.With that aside, while you have a lot to work on, you actually are doing quite well. I actually laughed a couple times and it looks like you have potential. Try experiment with GIMP to add some effects, and it could help emphasize the humor.I'll be keeping an eye out for these comics, and give you some tips from time to time... until then, farethee well.

4dude Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 Thanks for the advice. I'll try and put it to good use. Here's comic 4 Thanksgiving. Sorry it's late, I was on a trip during Thanksgiving weekend. Quote Mark4dude's Comics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Joe Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 That...That was...INCREDIBLE!I think my favorite part was the "You have life sized books in your room. So that means you're obsessed with books." Quote My Old comics, Of Hedgehogs and Lego Bricks - My Epic, Hero Factory: The Biosteel ChroniclesTrifecta!

4dude Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 Thanks for reading. Here is my 5th comic. I decided to try my hand at making a shorter comic this time. Enjoy. Quote Mark4dude's Comics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Joe Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Aaaah! Possessed vaccum cleaner! They're the worst kind! You should send to Bissel for your money back. Or was it an Oreck?

4dude Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 Heh heh. Well, here's Comic 6. Enjoy. Quote Mark4dude's Comics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4dude Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 Comic 7 is now up. Enjoy and post. Quote Mark4dude's Comics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Joe Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 That was hilarious. I like the Batman transition thing. I think it's becoming very popular *Looks at Utah and Doomsday comics*But overall, you're doing a good job.

~kh Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 You know, Ven pointed me in this direction and I have to admit, I do see a bit of potential in this. Sure, you may need some work graphically, but the layout is there and I can appreciate the humor. Its nice seeing a newer comic maker on here with a spark to his series. I'll be checking back sometime soon. Like I said, just work a bit on the graphics and you'll do fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Invictus Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 So basic, which is understandable, but very funny. At least, #7 was. Good job, 4Dude. Quote Up, down, turn around, please don't let me hit the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4dude Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 Thanks for all your posts and tips. Comic 8 is now up. Since most of this comic takes place on Christmas Eve, I posted it today instead of on Christmas day. Quote Mark4dude's Comics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Invictus Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Decent comic. It was hard to tell why Shadow5dude got racked since the panels almost looked exactly the same but I saw it. Still needs an improvement on graphics as usual. Quote Up, down, turn around, please don't let me hit the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4dude Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 Happy New years everybody!! Comic 9 is now up. Also, I noticed that I forgot to put snow in the caroling scene of the Christmas comic, so I re-posted an edited version of that one as well.

4dude Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Comic 10 is now up as well. Yay for 10 comics! Quote Mark4dude's Comics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4dude Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Sorry about being gone for so long. My internet was on the fritz and is still a little sketchy. Not that anyone posted while I was gone anyways. Comic 11 is now up and it's my personal best when it comes to length. Yay!! Read and post.Also, I think I'll try posting on other topics now, so ready or not, here I come! Quote Mark4dude's Comics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
