Prototypes
in Comics
Hmm... The second comic looks allright, albeit a bit strange.For starters, the perspective on the dead soldiers looks strange, as if they were flattened by a steamroller - Which, albeit his size, I doubt Axilus could do. Keep working on that though, you'll get better.Then there's his heated sword. It looks too small on the last panel - more like a 'heated dagger' if anything. You might want to make it fit him by resizing it.

It's okay, but the characters are a bit strange - for instance the 'Enemy soldier' things being so bloodthirsty then suddenly screaming and running 'WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE' - It doesn't quite seem to fit. I'd suggest you try to figure something out with that. Then there's the 'capsule' scenes, It looks a bit strange, more like an explosion than just a fire from a crashed pod. It's a bit strange, partially due to the sparks being copypasted and the fire is darker inside of it, which messes with the eyes.

Here's something to adress your concern:DoD is currently under development as I don't have access to all of my resources for D3, since my computer with all of that stuff on it unexpectedly broke.DoD is a side comic, author-based (My ideas) to differ from D3's more community-dependent ideals. PGSing/GSing will be adressed as needed for the moment.I'm kind of worried about all this hype for a new series when it doesn't seem like we're close to finishing this one. It looks like a fun series though. Will it be command based, like the current series, or totally author generated. And will there be further opportunities for GS/PGS? -
You know... I just thought of something kind of silly, since your character is using a Faxon."I was using Faxons before they were cool."...Man, that sounds kind of stupid after I say it. Anyways, nice work, and it should be interesting to see another observer character. Perhaps they'd meet up and have hot chocolate or something, maybe discuss the siliness in the dimensions they've been observing.

Sorry about that. It was really late and I was tired when I did that, I'll fix it now.Axilos is TNG, it's the name he uses for other canons such as this.
Cherise is Miles' closest friend on board - There's some development that'd make her reject pretty much anyone else. But hey, at least it's likely there will be another female at some point.And then everyone starts hitting on Cherise because she's the one female--just kidding. -
There you go. A comic giving some character development, and introducing a few new characters.
Other info:
Cherise and Miles have been good friends ever since training camp, and Cherise volunteered to join his crew when he was promoted to captain.
She's usually very optimistic and friendly, and is Miles' closest friend.
Other info:
Soran is very logical and tends to be one of the more serious members of the crew. He does have his mysterious tendencies, however...
Other info: Axilos is the bulkiest member of the crew and tends to be very handy in combat situations, often being deployed as the primary combatant due to his high damage-causing capabilities, and the fact that he can take plenty of damage as well.
Soran D. Skies: Soran
Axilos Prius: TNG (He changed his name to Axilus now, I guess? Hm. Lots of name changes for him.)
Cherise Linowe: For a friend of mine, and to actually add a female character to the cast. Might make another to add some variety to the crew.
-
Time for a random comic to introduce two new characters - This isn't exactly what happened, or exactly what their personality archetypes are, but I decided to make it funny for the sake of humor and also to test out some special effects.
For starters:
Demyan was submitted by Facade.
Second of all: This little robo-copy of our protagonist is named Doppler, and his personality protocals conflicted a bit, making him very erratic, sporadic, and has frequent mood swings, though he's usually pretty handy around the ship.
-
Name, rank, affilation, preferred/primary weapons, Innate Power, helmet type (We can discuss certain things like this via PM), training, etc etc. No rank higher than Captain if you wish to be involved more frequently. Sectors still need to be planned out, so where they hail from isn't important yet.So for pgsing/whatever you want to call it for this, what would you like other then the kit and name? A setup like you made or something else? -
Okay, I'm using xanis now, might as well make yet ANOTHER alternate me (I have, like 3 right now...)Well, I really want to ask about the main character, and since no one is asking (its only been like 10 minutes though) I figure I'll get it over with and ask.Who is the main character? Who and what?
Other information:
Phaseblades: Phaseblades are a form of energy weapon that have a solid conductive base that emits an energy that allows it to have varying effects depending on the user's preference. Phaseblade katanas in particular are set to heat up when swung, and emit in a particular way to cut down on air resistance, thus allowing the user to swing faster and more precisely.
Helmets: Helmets are... well, helmets. Bio-being heads are not quite masks - they vary in appearance from being to being, but there are many common ones. Helmets can have different settings according to what the user wants - Master Vision in this case gives the user all forms of altered vision. Thermal vision, night vision, x-ray vision - Call it a version of Arkham's 'detective mode' if you'd like, although I've never played the games. I'd prefer that you check in first before making up a random helmet power. Also: Helmets are typically shaped like the user's head, with varying kinds of visors depending on the user's preference. Perhaps a simple horizontal visor, a visor that has eyeholes - Maybe decorative. Again, it is up to the user. The visors can be in varying colors, and amplify the eyes of the user to be seen through. Mouths are not typically seen through so far. Most helmets come equipped with special headlamps.
V4H1 Overclocker:
The V4H1 Overclocker is a small handblaster with special capabilities. It uses a specially modified time energy capsule to effectively reload itself instantly - or freeze it's firing for a few seconds, then release a rapid burst of all of the fired shots in that time. It has nearly infinite ammunition due to this, and as such has only one heat sink. Unfortunately, the rapid-fire cannot be abused for a long period of time as the heat sink can only absorb so much heat. A skilled user can use the Overclocker almost to a firing rate of a gatling gun. (Note: The V4H1 isn't quite done yet, the sprite is subject to change.)
Innate Power: Innate powers are something that most Bio-beings have. Usually something that sets them apart form others, though some common ones are notable. Miles' is Energy - It gives him power over raw energy, allowing him to redirect and absorb it.
Codename basis: Miles received his codename based on a legend that Nova had overheard. Most likely from Vee, the Interloper. This legend is about D3, thus giving him the codename Leraku.
More info on Miles to be announced.

Pretty much anyone can make an alternate version of their character with name and data for DoD, provided they send in a sheet in Xanis. I won't always have time to make sheets for everyone.Answering Soran's question about D3 universe i missed: In a way, I suppose. The name 'Leraku' is important in DoD, as it is a legend that Nova heard of during his lifetime - likely from Vee or another interloper who deemed him fit to visit. He was the last one around after all, so what bad could he do with a conversation? Otherwise, that's about it.I'm hoping to be able to whip up a pretty good explanation for the main character if anyone asks about him.Heres a question more about us. Is anyone able to have a role, like in D3? If so would it be open or UCS or your selection only?I shouldnt ask al lthe questions, but if they go un-asked I'll ask more later. -
Well, since someone finally asked, I'll explain ?.???'s real name is Vee - he's an artificial being, an interloper if you will, who does not directly effect the storyline but observes certain specific universes. He does have power to change things - not massively, but he's there to keep a small flaw from spiraling out of control, effectively destroying the specific universe. I personally see him as if he observes over the UCS dimensions. He may or may not have part in DoD. Fun fact: Vee's name is a reference to CTRL+V.Notable figures.The first one is Nova. Nova was a being (Most likely a human) who had escaped an apocalypse and sealed himself away, essentially the last living person on earth. He created a bio-organic being known as the Shepherd. Eventually, as he neared death of old age, he sacrificed himself to give life to a bio-organic race, his life's end powering the bio-organic beings. These bio-organic beings are all of the characters, including Shepherd. Nova may or may not be his real name, but it is all that anyone knows of him. Shepherd was created to, indeed, act as a 'shepherd' to this race and is currently the leader of the main populace and is the second notable character - however, he was already explained.Unnamed villain: This other notable character is the leader of the Usurper force. His name is still being developed. Usurpers will be explained if the question is asked.The main character will be explained in a seperate post with a specialized format if a question is asked about him.Sweet. My fist question is one that you listed, who are notable figures, and what we can we know about ??? (Are we able to refer to his name or would like to keep that a secret still?)
Factions:ImperiumUsurpersThe ImperiumThe Imperium is the main faction in DoD, being the government of the main populace and the military force. The main character works for the Imperium, similar as Ler did in D3. However, in this case, Ler joined by choice and is, in fact, not unhappy about it as in this case the Imperium is a protagonistic faction. The Shepherd is the leader of this faction.The UsurpersThe Usurpers are a rebellious group bent on taking over this universe. They are bio-beings that have broken away from the main populace and strive to break down the Imperium. They are very cruel and ruthless, and, if things really were under their control, this would be terrible for a few reasons:For starters, the leaders simply want to be in charge and deal with things as they see fit. Corrupt as they are, this essentially will create a ruthless dictatorship.The leaders also might eventually tire of things and simply go on rampage whenever they like.The Unnamed villain and his underlings are the leaders of this faction.This certainly looks interesting. I'm really excited to see whats coming next. The use of Xaniskit is really nice, and I'm quite interested in seeing how you present these key elements of the comic. I'm sure it'll no doubt be great. I suppose the question I'll ask is"What are these factions?" and "Did the D3 characters have any influence on the storyline?" (Such as did things go into chaos because of the events of D3, did things become bright and sunny, is there some sort of super-secret operation going on because of it, etc.)Like I said before, it looks really interesting and I'm excited to see whats coming next.Something I'm wondering though is if this series/mini series is taking place because of the earlier issue with your computer? Did you manage to save the files and everything?~Soran -
Ignore what I said about the q/a thing, I thought up of a possible series taking place after D3, but in an alternate universe. It would have not happened in this alternate universe, but timeline-wise it'd occur after D3 ended in the main universe.
It's called Dawn of Disasters - an homage to D3's true name. It's a sci-fi based series, and to keep things going, you guys can specify what you'd like to learn about it next, either in post or PM, and I will post it. For instance, here's a few example things to learn about:
The main character
Items
Timeline
Story
Factions
Notable figures
Other character involvement
It will be made in Xanis for the sake of flexibility with poses.

The problem is - well, let me explain.My laptop is an IBM Thinkpad (Making it pretty... bad. Really bad.), and we had gotten two. One for my sister, one for me. My sister's hard drive ended up getting fried, so when my first laptop got the fan error(Explaining that in a bit) We just took out my hard drive and slapped it into hers. Now hers has the same error, most common in(And seems to only happen in)IBM thinkpads.The 'fan error' - When I start it up, it loads, then makes two beeping noises, says 'Fan error' in DOS print (Like a command prompt) and shuts down.The fan error is an internal fail-safe to keep itself from overheating. The failsafe activates when the fan is malfunctioning.I've been attempting to preform 'laptop surgery' to open up the fan and clean it off, but no success so far. Mostly because the first time I tried, I had to quickly re-insert the screws to take care of something else.Anyways, I do have a plan for the comic - and it might be something to look at/do while my main computer isn't working.Sort of a Q/A thing with an alternate character. Not mr. "??? pong face" since his sheet is on the laptop, but someone else.Well, that definitely fits the last word in the topic title.Good luck. If you can get your laptop to run for like 10 minutes safely, you should be able to move your stuff to a flash drive, then make comics off a flash drive you stick into any computer. (While getting your laptop serviced) -
Hey.Got some bad news.My laptop's fan died, so I'm not going to be able to post comics for awhile, since all of my spritesheets were on there.However, it doesn't mean my topic needs to be closed, as I will still be trying to keep up with you guys comic-wise. It will likely take ages, but I might be able to scrounge back up some sheets.
-
His close-ups have been made with RZ as well. Just heavily applied effects.Shpeak of the devil, looky here.A comic.So, few things for everyone (but mainly the authors)Next up is Soran.This comic is a lead up for Ler, therefore no on is to include Ler or myself in their comics until after me and Ler decide we are ready to meet up with the rest of you.If you do not wish to be met yet then let the current author on rotation know to exclude you, if you don't then they have every right to include you.Also, if you wish to make PSA's or fillers or random stuff for this go ahead, any kit is allowed (such as Ler's close ups). -
Leraku is not exactly seperate personalities - those are simply embodiments of his 'red' and 'blue' sides - Chaos and Logic respectively. I believe I mentioned it before, but, oh well. I'll add the full to their names. For instance, Chaos is - well, an embodiment of destructive chaos. Logic is very calm, collected, and, indeed, logical. Leraku himself chooses which to use more depending on the situation - by default, he is neutral in between. As he is technically sealed away and in stasis at this point, his personality is not in the 'argument' going on, so his two other sides are there instead. When he awakens, he might have a burst of each, but he will soon come back to himself.Leraku has a precariously balanced personality? Made of two separate entities? That shed some light on things....What do LOG and CHA stand for? I know you use abbreviations for these lines, but I would think you'd spell out the full names first. -
You know, since not even I really know the order yet - it's sort of just been 'said out' whenever it's someone's turn - I kind of thought I'd stick another little teaser here. It's not officially a comic, but it's just more anticipation.
Meanwhile
A mental battle continues
CHAOS: WHY WOULD WE STAY HERE?! WE COULD JUST ESCAPE. ESCAPE, AND DESTROY.
LOGIC: That is simple. We are here to prevent ourselves from doing that. We are not dead, but for only the purpose that someone might need us someday.
CHAOS: NO ONE NEEDS US! WE ARE HERE FOR OUR PURPOSE. OUR PURPOSE IS TO DESTROY!
CHAOS: AND IMAGINE! JUST WATCHING. SITTING AND WATCHING! WATCHING THE WORLD BURN!
CHAOS: A GRIM DISPLAY OF DESTRUCTION!
LOGIC: We may not be needed now. But we will be needed in time! And neither of us are in full control. We are here in a balance. A balance for our life, and for the lives of others.
LOGIC: And we are not going to cause such pointless destruction! What is the point of killing everything in our sight?
CHAOS: WHAT IS THE POINT OF NOT KILLING EVERYTHING?!
CHAOS: HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
CHAOS: JUST WATCHING EVERYTHING BURN. ALL OF IT!
CHAOS: RAVAGED!
CHAOS: IN A SEA OF FIRE!
LOGIC: We will do no such thing!
LOGIC: You may be an embodiment of sheer chaos - But I am an embodiment of control.
LOGIC: We are at a standstill to my advantage. Neither of us can do anything to the other.
LOGIC: And I would not have it any other way.
CHAOS: IF IT WAS MY WAY-
LOGIC: And it's not.
CHAOS: SILENCE! IF IT WAS MY WAY, I WOULD HAVE CONTROL OVER THIS IMBECILE! HE WOULD BE A PAWN IN AN ENDLESS DOOMSDAY! AND IT WOULD BE PERFECT. A PERFECT, CHAOTIC WORLD.
CHAOS: ENGULFED IN A BLAZE OF MASSIVE PROPORTIONS.
LOGIC: And it will never be so, so long as we are here.
LOGIC: Our purpose is no one's to control but ours. We were created, and placed here. We are here merely as secondaries to an absolution, a balance that we dwell in. It is not of our choosing what will happen...
LOGIC: ...But it will not be sheer chaos that will succeed.
CHAOS: HAHAHAHAAAA
CHAOS: HAAAAA!!!
CHAOS: HEHAAAAAAAA!
CHAOS: THIS WORLD WILL BURN BY MY HAND, NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY. YOUR TALK IS FOOLISH! IT WILL MAKE NO DIFFERENCE IN THIS WORLD'S FATE!
LOGIC: Maybe so. But neither of us are the ones to decide.
LOGIC: No one can control fate itself.

LER: Break news.
KJ: Hey, Leraku! We're here!
JK: Yeah. It was a pretty uneventful boat ride.
KJ: We played Go Fish to pass the time!
UT: I never want to see a deck of cards again...
LER: That's... well, okay. I've got something to tell you guys.
JK: Really? What?
LER: We're heading to Ta-Koro, and -
UT: We know. You already told us.
LER: No, not that. It's that... after we get there, you guys are not going to be able to come along with us.
KJ: Huh?
JK: WHAT? What are you talking about?
LER: There's going to be a lot of bad things going on from here on - things I don't know that you'd be able to survive.
LER: I know you guys are strong in your own right - Justax, you're good with that keyblade, Utah, you've got that... concussion blaster thing, and Joe...
LER: Well, you're kind of...
LER: Joe.
LER: I guess.
UT: So? What's the point?
LER: Look at me! Do you see this massive scorch mark on my chestplate?
JK: Yeah... so?
LER: Think about what kind of damage I can take. Think of what kind of power could actually injure me this badly?
UT: Yeesh.
LER: If I have trouble with that sort of thing, how do you know you'd be able to survive it?
KJ: Guess we don't...
LER: Exactly. According to what Facade told me, there's going to be an attack on Ta-Koro - so we need to get there fast. I know you guys are stronger than the average matoran, so you'll be crucial to the defense there after we leave.
JK: So? Why can't we follow you anyways if you guys are strong enough.
LER: Justax! These machines were literally made to harm, razing everything in their way in a wave of destruction! You'd rather stay with us to plunge into the heart of all of them?
JK: Not really...
UT: Hold up. Machines?
LER: Yes. Our enemy has been producing an army of killer robots bent on controlling the entire island.
KJ: How do you know..?
LER: For starters, we just fought some. They were pretty easy for us, but... well, you know.
LER: They were basic ones. Besides, Facade here is one of their productions, but... he defected.
FAC: Hey, what's up.
JK: Ooookay then.
LER: In short, I'm asking you to stay at Ta-koro for your own safety.
UT: Allright... fine. I guess that makes sense.
SOR: Hey, Leraku! There's something you need to know-
LER: Soran, I'm kind of busy...
SOR: It's important! It's the smoke - the fire is coming from Ta-koro.
LER: So? Ta-Koro is on a volcano. Of course there's going to be smoke.
SOR: No, not like that - I mean, there's fire, and - all sorts! Ta-Koro is already under attack!
LER: WHAT?!
What now?
----------
Sorry about taking so long for this update. Literally, exactly a week ago, my uncle died - leaving me and my family pretty shellshocked. My sister and mother have left for New York for the funeral, and due to other events it's lately just been a gigantic wad of chaos this past week. Anyways, here's your update. Hope you enjoy it.
-
So, something new in a combined style of LTSL and Chimoru R?With the UCS?Hm. Wow.That's great, and it's also great to see you back.Anyways. If I'd make a suggestion, It'd be that for Ler - his eyes would still have to be blue and red in some way, either fully of a color with darker/lighter pupils maybe, or just normal with colored pupils. Dunno. He'd just look a bit odd normally.Good luck, though.
-
???: Wait. An AC? Really?
???: Great.
???: I'll just get out of here for now.
??? So you people can keep watching your...
???: uh
???: thing.
???: I'll just go and... keep doing some stuff.
LER: Reunite with your party members!
LER: So, what did you get from the computers before we leave?
FAC: Well, I got as much data from the computer and the Imperium database as I could before my access was shut down. Including info on a planned attack...
LER: Planned attack? Where?
FAC: Ta-Koro. I'm sorry about it, as I know you have some-
LER: We have to get there, ASAP. We were going there anyways, but that is just proving how urgent this is.
SOR: Uh... guys? We've got some company. I think it's your buddies, Leraku. Except... on a boat.
LER: Buddies? Oh...
LER: Oh no. They're not going to like this...
FAC: What?
LER: I'm going to break some unfortunate news to them...
Unfortunate news?
-
Hm. Interesting animation - Might I ask what you used to animate it?Also - I do peek at your comics now and then, and they are definitely improving over time. I'm personally going to be keeping an eye on this series.
-
I believe they mean the one wearing the Kaukau.It is me you sillys. -
ACs are Action Commands - As in, what someone sends in for what they want to happen next. Thus, making it a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure. People send in stuff, I play it out.What in the world is an AC?!?
Doesn't have to be too serious. Say, going somewhere, have a character do something. The current goal is to go to Ta-Koro (for some... stuff. bwahaha.) but something odd can happen on the way.I'd send one, but I dont know what should happen... -
Somewhere between the planes of existence...
???: Hey... guys?
???: It's been a week or so...
???: Still no ACs. Come on, please? ACs feed the inbox! It's hungry... and stuff. And D3 is mainly about you guys' input, so it's going to be hard to progress without it.
???: If you're not going to send in one, at least post why you aren't.
???: Besides, I can only play pong on my face for so long before I get worried about this.

No explanation on the second panel. Even if you think you know who it is, no one - and I mean no one - say anything about it. It's for your own thoughts only.
----------
First panel - Yes, I'm revising Doppler so he's not just a red, ragey version of Miles. Actually giving him some better purpose, and plot pointing.
Also, sorry I haven't updated much. Been really busy, as well as dealing with my whole computer situation. Oh well!
