    Nice work with the colors, particularly on the top of the mask. One thing that strikes me though is that below the eyes things seem two-dimensional. I'm not entirely sure why that is, but it's probably the perspective on the indents. I think the mouth area is fine. The eyes also look a bit off - I'd say they should be a bit closer together.

    IC: Carraig - Continued from here"Naria, we need to get Sumiki here to a hospital." He glanced around. "Do you know anybody in the Koro? I suggest going to them and taking it easy for a while. And don't leave the Koro alone."

    Sprites or not, it still take a while to make a comic, depending on it's quality. Unless you've MADE a sprite comic before, please don't go saying it's a fast way of making comics.

    It is without a doubt faster than serious hand drawn work. As I said - the characters are already made for you. You can copy over backgrounds as opposed to an artist redrawing it every panel.

    I personally don't see much of a difference between sprites and hand drawn, cause the thing is what's been hand drawn here isn't completely original either, if you consider the mask designs.

    Uh, if you've noticed, most of the world's artists tend to draw things that already exist. You don't go up to an artist who's painted a portrait of somebody and go 'lol nice try bro, but you just copied someone else's face, minus points for not being original colbro.png colbro.png colbro.png'You can't compare an artist drawing something that exists to someone copying and pasting something he didn't make into panels over and over.

    I see it as a fairly two way street here. I think both styles have their own respects and their own strengths and weaknesses. They're both Bionicle comics, and have a lot in common. It's both artwork with a different way of displaying it.

    They don't have an awful lot in common. Okay yes, sprites are art, but they're the sprite maker's art. The people who use the artist's art can't take a whole lot of credit. It's like 'yo hey guys, check out this comic, I made the text myself colbro.png' as opposed to 'yo hey guys, check out this comic, I drew everything myself'.

    A month is a pretty long time to come up with a mystery, and most comic makers here can make the actual comic pretty fast.

    Anyone who uses sprites can make a comic pretty fast, sure. But that's because they're using kits they didn't make - a lot of their work is done before they've even started. And I see a lot of sprite comics even use photographs as backgrounds, and I doubt the creators even took the photos themselves.People who want to create something original (AKA people who draw their work or whatever) have a lot more work to do, and if they want to do a full blown mystery, it's a fairly large undertaking. For stuff like that, a month isn't a huge amount of time.

    IC-Naria:"No, no, he can't be back," Naria murmured to herself, fear suffusing her demeanor. She didn't even notice Carraig's comment, leaning heavily on her staff. She shook her head once, and fell over, not moving.

    IC: Carraig'Well,' He said, kneeling down beside the Matoran. 'How do you like that? She's unconscious. At least we're near the Koro.'
