FireEmblem Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) been catching up recently. nice comics, gavla. i do like how this 'avid' series is making you think. i would guess that only the body is dead, but that's generic. maybe a twist like both his mind and body are dead?

Gavla Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 This is why I'm not too proud of today's comic. It didn't meet my expectations. Though what can you do when so much more goes on all day?These AVID comics literally take me from at least 7:30 AM usually 9:30 PM. Mostly because I work on each panel by itself. Or for some in which Death is in the same pose. I'll do those panels all together. I space the creation of the panels because I want everything to match. You have no idea how hard it is to keep track of Cahli's dagger in MG's skull.And to John: You make a sound point. You're half right in a sense (with the twist bit), though I'm leaning more to a "second mind take over" sort of thing. That's how I see it. My hope with comics is to make the readers think. Come to their own conclusions.Abs: I hope you don't mind making an appearance. I always intended to reference guest stars and more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavla Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) AVID: Comic 7You'll have to wait for the saga to end. It's all planned out.You should ask yourself: Does Death directly use MG, or does MG indirectly help out Death?Also yes, MG can do what he did with those Crystals. I already stated in the past he has full control over crystals.(Also it really is rather difficult to make the breaking of a crystal look.. well normal in GIMP. Forgive my amateur attempts at it! Also for the awkward fight in general.)BTw, I'm still open for suggestions on how to better the comics. (Like tips for crystal breaking and such.) If anyone has some suggestions.

Gavla Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Nope, that was Dot.Dude.He was a PGS back in Season 1/2/3.I'm assuming you meant the gent with the Vahi. If not, and you meant the gent that was first chucked at him: That fellow is a background character from some time ago. From before the downtime.AVID: Comic 8I had a bad day today. I was suppose to go spend most of it with a friend. That didn't work out.A shame because now I'm tired again. (I worked on the comic a bit last night so I wouldn't spend all day working on it.)The Void segment at the start was worked on from 1:00 AM till 3:00 AM.Fact: The ending segment originally had MG fire the gun. I changed this because.. well. We all know about them being siblings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soran Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) I'm thinking the merciful character might be the Makuta with the Kanohi Olmak. Currently he has escaped MG already and with his teleportation abilities and with his affiliation with Makron, I am just going to guess he might have a future role in another Saga/Story Arc. You are probably preserving him for later.If he isn't it, then it must be Chilly. I don't think we've seen her this entire arc and it seems odd how she hasn't appeared yet. Although I am just going to guess it might be one of those typical scenarios. The kind where the Hero (Gavla) will see someone he cares about (Chilly/friends) in the void, and somehow rescue them (Take control of Mg and fulfill his duty as the 'lock').If she isn't it either then it's either Gurk-fish or that awesome cardboard cut out of Gavla. You can't get rid of those two epic characters. no matter how small their roles, they make the world go round.~Soran Edited April 14, 2012 by Soran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad I didn't.I imagine Crystal Matoran to be very heavy. Being solid crystal and such.I spent A LOT of time today on this comic. I am very happy with it. I was trying out some different things, such as editing perspective with some panels. The last panel is a bit iffy, he's suppose to be right in front of them.

Chath Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 That was quite the interesting comic. So, Mole is on the verge of death. You find a way to diminish my favorite characters, huh?First Max, who I will now refer to as Army McArmington. Then Mole, who I assume is in much pain.I do have one... request. Some advice, or something along those lines. The running scenes look... not running-y. It seems like they're walking. It took me a second to realize why the characters would fly off the panels.But otherwise, these are great and you are a god. Carry on. Quote Dude I am literally just a fart More soon maybe?

Gavla Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 AVID: Comic 10Mercy for a fellow outcast.I told you all sagas lead into each other.I was away most of today. I needed some sort of break, so today's comic isn't overly long and such. I did however buy some new art programs, and a tablet! So maybe some things will improve around here.@Chath: "god" is a bit of a stretch! But anyway. I never said this comic would be kittens and rainbows. A lot of creatures die in this saga. That's the point of it. Death, Void, and why it's important not to unlock the lion's cage. It will eat you. It will consume you because it hates you. Yet it loves it's cubs. The saga ends in a very different style from past sagas. The chaos is going to be universal, as I always intended it to be. Yet you need to wait.About the "running": That's because Co III, like Chimoru Omega, has only four walking sprites. The two I use, and two "stand/walk" ones that happen before the common movement ones. The legs of Co III are incredibly awkward to pose. Ironic since I designed them. I might make new running sprites in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Ptolemic Of Zyglak Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Ooo, I think MG just showed a bit of emotion after seeing chilly, maybe he's not so evil after all. He looked sad, right as he is (what appears to be at least) about to kill those other unfortunates. This is getting more interesting as it all develops.~I don't know what to put here any more...I'll think of a new title...sig...nickname...whatever...

Soran Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I like how you explained it. MG will consume, will destroy, will end, but even he won't hurt a child (Or will he? mentally...)Seems as though he has a soft spot for children, even people who remind him of children, such as what was suggested in the comic.I'm still really liking the no text idea. It really shows how much skill a person has with comics by telling a story with just emotions and no text. (Although some of them do have text, most don't.)I've always seen the Co III as a larger form of Rzmik because of how similar the legs are when walking and how they are positioned. I suggest you should try to treat it like Rzmik. Both kits seem to not have official run sprite, so probably making due with what you already have. Probably experimenting with rzmik will help with positioning Co III.~Soran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavla Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 Made sense though.It's Death, it collects the dead from all universes, all time lines.That Death in the top right corner? Totally a Death from 20 minutes ago.Take notice of me calling Death "it".AVID: Comic 12MG is the Pied Piper of the Matoran Universe.I've been sort of draining myself with AVID. These comics take a lot of time, and I take very few breaks. Sorry if things have been a bit.. meh with the comics. Showing MG killing isn't all that entertaining if the foes are not special. Rest assured! This is about to change. Consider Meta-Nui completely devoid of adult life. (Aside from Chilly.) Let's move to another island.

One of them being in a mini saga.Also: It's safe to say that MG has obliterated Meta-Nui of all adult life. (Except Chilly)So logically he's leaving the children under watch of the Crystal Matoran. So he can go get rid of some other islands.(Which I guess is what he's discussing with them in the first panels.)Also: I need Six Shade Toa Nuva sprites.
