Link to the topic and comic being discussed. Overused downtime joke is overused. Uhhh, not much to say here. With page 6 (or 12, depending on how you define a page) finished, I'm going to start on a guest comic for Bionicle Manga, one of the most ambitious hand-drawn comics in AIII. The art isn't necessarily the best, but it shows distinct signs of improvement from chapter 1 to chapter 4 and I admire his determination; refusing to give up even in the face of a horrid lack of replies or even a decent fanbase. Oh, I just realized how much I avoided drawing faces in this page, haha. Must have been a subconscious thing. The 8 on Nathan's shirt is also an exclamation point. That was completely on accident as I meant to draw a regular 8 but messed up the to curve. It looked cool so I left it. This was by far the easiest page to edit. I have no idea why. I just didn't have to clean up all the smudges or whatnot. My sister pointed out that I haven't properly introduced Luke or Nate. She was reading through the chapter with the assumption that Luke was the shop leader. I hope this last page clears it up. (Hint: Luke broke down the door.) My bad. Anyways, I guess that's it. This is the end of chapter one. It seems like a good place to stop, don't you think? The forums will be back online when I return with chapter two: something involving a guy with a fedora!

link to the topic and comic being discussed. Editing this thing was so frustrating. I scrunched up the first half of the page when I was erasing, then ripped the corner when I was trying to flatten it out again. Yes, the rip is still visible in p#6. I thought it looked like he cracked the wall, which was pretty funny. I had to edit it out in the doorway, because you can't crack the empty space between walls. The second half of the comic just wasn't working at all. The dialogue didn't flow, the characters looked completely off, the pacing and contrast between panels was a mess. I ended up revising it as I was retracing. It still looks a little odd, but it's better than it was. p#7 was supposed to be p#7 & p#8. There was no reason to separate the panels so I just stuck them together. The dinosaur joke made a lot more sense in the original run which I'm not going to show to anyone ever. This was actually where Kakaru was meant to be stuck in the archives by himself. He PMed Velox (interrupting his RPG) and Velox punched a hole through the ceiling to create a diversion. He meant to aim for the hallway, but "COT's a mess." The problem with that whole setup meant that I wasted two extra pages on him coming to the rescue, only for both of them to end up stuck and needing someone else to come rescue them. I guess it was pretty amusing, it just didn't go anywhere. I was editing the margins with ten minutes left until midnight (I was determined to get this up on time. I was working on it all evening.) when my computer just quit on me. locked up, no response. I lost all my work save the paper copies. I sat on the couch and cried a little, then gave up on humanity and went to bed.

Link to the topic and comic being discussed. I hate panel 12 so much. Don't get me wrong: I'm fine with it as is now, but I kept trying to make Kakaru hit the rahkshi over the head with his staff and it just didn't flow or make sense. For one, the rahkshi is supposed to be way taller than both of them, so there was no angle to show him hitting it that made it dramatic or comedic enough without looking cluttered. That, and Velox has katanas strapped to his back, and it made no sense for them to just run when he has a completely feasible means of defense. I finally got tired of messing with it and just let him drop his mask, which showed that there's no way either of them would even consider taking on a rahkshi and by extension that katanas would be ineffective against protodermic armour. I forgot the shading in p#9. I don't think I care since it's a text gag anyways. :| I liked the idea of Kakaru pretending to be a rahkshi on the pretense that it's a valid method of camouflage. It offset the tension from the first four panels, making the appearance of the rahkshi in p#11 more unexpected and frightening. This also allowed me to establish that Kakaru's not quite right in the head, something that will be developed further on. It also allowed me to establish Velox as the vaugely-sarcastic straight man to Kakaru's off-the-wall personality, lending him the fact that, although he's an avid RPer, doesn't mean to punch through floors. He's quite a bit stronger than he lets on. I guess that's it. This was a pretty simple comic aside from that bleeding uncooperative panel. :confusedw:

Link to the topic and the comic being discussed. The expression on Kakaru's face in panels 3-4 was way funnier in the rough draft. Unfortunately there was no way to transfer it from two dots and a line to a complete face without losing some of the humour. I was tempted to leave it the way it was but that would have looked awful in context. The expression on Velox's face in panel 5, on the other hand, came across perfectly. His stance and the dialogue help get across the "are you kidding me why would you do that" look I was going for. Kakaru's hands are hidden by speech bubbles in p6. This was unintentional. I actually had them drawn and they looked better than I planned. The speech bubbles weren't hiding them and it kept in form with the rest of his body language. Then the dialogue was too big. I wanted to punch something. Speaking of the text, all of it was drawn on a separate page. I traced the bubbles so the text stayed within the allowed margins. This way, I reasoned, I wouldn't have to draw lines to keep the words straight and then edit them out later like I did with page 1. Ironically, I forgot to clean up the speech bubbles so it ended up being twice as much work for the same results. The excuses bandied between Kakaru and Velox in p10 changed at each stage of the editing process until I was forced to decide on one set of dialogue that would portray the rivalry between the two and their unwillingness to work together (as well as Nathan's power over both of them.) I forgot the fingernail in p11. You can actually see the mark where it was supposed to be, but I forgot to draw it back in when I was retracing everything. I love the look on both their faces in the last panel. That worked well, so very well. Also, notice that the subtitle on the sign above the door changes each time it's shown: In the concept art, on page 1, and now here. I don't know what it means, nor do I know what the first half of that sentence reads.

Don't worry, my blog isn't going to turn into a thoughts-about-comics thing. I'll post regular entries, this is just the easiest way to share my thoughts on each chapter of my comic. Then again, my life is pretty boring so I suppose this is the best use my blog has seen. Link to the topic and the comic being discussed. I really enjoyed making this first page. I've had the concept floating around for quite a while and even had about six pages drawn, but they were outdated and no longer funny by the time I decided to gather my courage to post. That and I spilled water on them so all the warp lines were too hard to edit out. Starting over was easier. In the original version only Luke and Kakaru were working the shop and Kakaru was the one who had to go to the archives by himself to get the Lesovikk picture. Velox still punched a hole thorugh CoT and to be honest it actually makes more sense to have CoT just above the archives since it's at the bottom of the site. I had to work it in quicker this time to introduce Velox so it lost a bit of coherence but I'm okay with it. I still crack up every time I read that line. XD I tried hard to get that "oh brother" look on Kakaru's face in panel four, but it wasn't working quite the way I wanted it to. I must have redrawn that panel four times before I gave up and settled for what it is now. I don't think anyone but me cares. The word filter joke was practically mandatory, as it comes up every time I meet with BZPers IRL. I'm trying not to abuse the joke but it's really hard not to add "#####" or "an cool guy" jokes every other panel. I'm trying hard to convey as much information about the characters and setting as I can so I can't do throwaway jokes like that often. That, and it gets dull after a while. Each character's nose, hair, and ear shape is supposed to look different to help distinguish them but I don't think I made clear enough in the first page. It's a shame, since that's the most crucial time to establish characters.

Constructive criticism appreciated.

_ _ WARNING: Comic is a big file, so you might wait a little bit. _ Uncolored and unedited comic down below with no words _ Ever since the Great Abyss (BZP's downtime), many of us had been waiting patiently for BZP's return and had taken up several hobbies and interests to keep us occupied since them. Some of us decided to make more stop motions, some decided to brush up on their artistic skills, and some decided to stay in contact with other members for talks about normal, everyday life. I happened to do all that and more while on my free time, and this is one of the results. . . With this being a mosaic, I decided to format it in a short story format so that anyone can jump right into the comic and get a general assessment of the character and the plot at the same time. It took me several weeks, buying week's time to get it painted when it only took a few days to physically draw. . . Based on my epic Disgrace Amongst the Skrall, it should be an interesting read. Hopefully, you guys should have your appetite for story telling only part filled, otherwise here is a link. Otherwise, enjoy and comment on it. -Toa Deserok

Hello people! Many of you might not remember me, but I made comics here a while back. In fact, several people made comics that crossed paths at least once or twice! A universe was created, one that housed pop-culture and Bionicle. Whether or not your comics resided in The Comic Land, or were a part of a differentdimension entirely, you were still a part of this universe. This post is to link anyone whom has not heard of the BZPOWER COMICS WIKI, or may have lost the link. If your comics have a great deal of popularity or provide interesting material, please create your own wiki page and expand upon the universe that has already been created!* Without further ado, I present the link to one of the greatest fan-made wiki pages ever created! *Note- I am not the creator of the wiki itself, but am merely advertising it.
