mk7.13 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 (edited) Welcome to Search For the Kraahkan comics! Let's get right into the comedy, shall we? SEASON ONE 01 An Unexpected Party 02 The Macguffin 03 A Matter of Time 04 Payback 05 To Pacify a Bohrok 06 But Seriously, Though 07 Team Building Exercise 08 Um... Okay... 09 Limited Power 10 It Really Is That Easy 11 West Side Story 12 That Just Happened NEW! 13 Oh Well NEW! Guest Star Application!As of 12/2/2013, I am now accepting guest stars! Since this is a mostly plot-driven comic, your character may stick around for multiple comics - depending on the needs of that particular story arc - and then might not be seen again; or for potential "permanent" guest stars (who will most likely be given main character status for "season two"), while you may not be in every comic, your character will be a consistent presence in the overall narrative. The only issue is part availability; since I'm a college student with a somewhat well-paying job, I can easily buy necessary masks and parts from BrickLink as needed, but your character may have to wait until the parts are acquired for an appearance. Just fill out this application with all the necessary information and I'll get to work on the MOC-ing! Name*:Primary color*:Secondary color (can be same as Primary color)*:Tertiary color, etc.:Body Type*: Titan / Rahi / Toa / MatoranMask (if Titan, Toa, or Matoran)*:Personality:Combine types?: Yes / NoIf yes, which types?: * = RequiredGuest Star List!PGS:1. ~The 1st Shadow~!2.

The 1st Shadow Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Ah, competition. Nice start. Some of the photos aren't the best quality, but the characters seem to be pretty decent. I look forward to seeing how this goes."Walls are inanimate, Lewa." Also, how do you get the text like that? I originally wanted to do that for my comics, but didn't have a decent program for doing so.

Sybre Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Well, this is a potentially epic series. I just may have to stick around! You want a relaxing day alone? Fake your own death. Works every time for me. Quote mindeth the cobwebs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Windrider- Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Good to see a new comic! The figures' poses are quite expressive, so bravo on that. My only suggestion involves some of the still shots; the sharpness seems inconsistent. (I understand, however, the blur for effect on the "*THUD*" shot.) Keep at it!

I originally wanted to do that for my comics, but didn't have a decent program for doing so. Photoshop! The "stroke" layer style really helps out with making text more readable. Still working on figuring out how to make it look prettier. Well, this is a potentially epic series. I just may have to stick around! You want a relaxing day alone? Fake your own death. Works every time for me. But death is so impermanent, though. Takiris has died at least three times before the events of this series. It's kind of like in Dragonball Z, where all you have to do is make a wish bringing everybody back to life at the end of the quest. Good to see a new comic! The figures' poses are quite expressive, so bravo on that. My only suggestion involves some of the still shots; the sharpness seems inconsistent. (I understand, however, the blur for effect on the "*THUD*" shot.) Keep at it! I'm using my phone's camera, so it gets tricky to maintain a consistent sharpness sometimes, but I'm definitely working on improving my photography skills! Also - do you think you could change the title of this topic to "Search For the Kraahkan Comics!"? I made a typo when I created it and only just recently noticed the mistake. Thanks to everybody for reading! And now I have a special treat: Chapter Two! Edited November 18, 2013 by mk6.12 Quote Seriously Old MOCs Search For the Kraahkan!

mk7.13 Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 Annnnnnd now I present Chapter 3!

Sybre Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 That can't be good. I guess the plot revolves around three parties searching for the Kraahkan, right? Zaktan, MK, and Matoro? Quote mindeth the cobwebs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 1st Shadow Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Haha, I quite liked the "left turn at Albuquerque" joke. Matoro going for wold domination? Sounds out-of character, but it's interesting. I must ask, though: Will it ever be explained how the other masks are talking? Because, last I checked, only the Ignika can do that.Nonetheless, I look forward to the next chapter.

I was thinking of taking it that direction, but I've got something much more absurd in the works. Haha, I quite liked the "left turn at Albuquerque" joke. Matoro going for wold domination?

Because, last I checked, only the Ignika can do that.Nonetheless, I look forward to the next chapter. I think my "official" explanation for the other masks talking is something along the lines of being near Matoro and the Ignika causes them to become sentient. What actually happened was about halfway through writing the dialogue for each panel, I decided it would be hilarious if every mask Matoro grabs also talks. As for Chapter 4, I think I'll have that done sometime tomorrow or next week, depending on Thanksgiving and all that. There'll be a new comic to read before too long, though!

I mean, I bet my secret plans to a super weapon capable of worldwide destruction! Man, Teridax is dumb. The way he lost his Staff of Shadows is even more ridiculous, but that's a story for another chapter. Comic Update!I'm now considering guest stars! Since this is a mostly plot-driven comic, your character may stick around for multiple comics - depending on the needs of that particular story arc - and then might not be seen again; or for potential "permanent" guest stars (who will most likely be given main character status for "season two"), while you may not be in every comic, your character will be a consistent presence in the overall narrative.

I'll throw all of this information up in the main post up top, complete with a form for a GS and PGS information. I think I'll continue posting comics whenever I feel up to it, but it'll be on a semi-regular basis with not much more than a week in between like I have been doing. No sense in keeping you guys waiting too long for another chapter. Thanks for reading! Quote Seriously Old MOCs Search For the Kraahkan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybre Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Well, I just may consider it to return the favor! Judging by how well the series is doing, you'll be keeping BrickLink busy! Quote mindeth the cobwebs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sybre Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 The masks look better together when they're gold! And during the meeting, I thought a Bohrok was gonna get punished for saying the wrong thing. I sure hope a gold Kraahkan will play a more important role! It'll look so cool!

The 1st Shadow Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Lots of shiny gold stuff... *ahem* Anyway. What exactly is Lewa's issue?

Also, why did Takua and Jaller change to Mctoran when the krana were removed? Good question.Honest answer: I really, really, really wanted Mctoran in these comics, for no real reason.Better answer: when Matoro hit them with the Ignika while holding the Vahi, they were transformed into past versions of themselves.

I really wanted that to be an unanswered question for the duration of the comic, but I decided to answer it in the upcoming chapter! It'll be out before too long, I just have to type out all the dialogue. I've been pretty busy this last week or so, but I'll have chapter 8 up soon! Quote Seriously Old MOCs Search For the Kraahkan!

mk7.13 Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 In the scene where lewa is accidentally attacked, why does he go from mata to nuva? Something to do with Fire and Ice combining, I think. The logic is very contrived, but I had to come up with something because I really wanted a decent reason to mess with my existing Toa Mata MOCs without suddenly jumping from Mata to Nuva between comics.

Kopekemaster Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) I'm quite enjoying it. There seems, however, to be a lack of Kopeke. ;D Name: Kopeke/Kopeke's Master (see below)Primary color: whiteSecondary color: light blueTertiary color: light greyBody Type: MatoranMask (if Titan, Toa, or Matoran): Komau/Matatu (see below)Personality: Okay, here is the confusing part. I'm proposing him as a split-personality guy. So he can see both versions of himself, but others can only see one. Kopeke wears the Komau, and Kopeke's Master (his other personality) wears the Matatu. Other than that, they are exactly the same (so, basically, you would just switch masks on the torso when switching between them). When talking with other people, he only says "...", though they understand him (sorta like the Bohrok). When he is talking to his other self, though, he speaks in a very longhanded manner. Does that sound fine?Combine types?: Not sure what you mean here. If you mean element, then no.If yes, which types?: (see above) So I guess I just remedied the lack of Kopeke by making two Kopekes?

mk7.13 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Finally I can get Chapter 12 up! I ran into some technical difficulties recently; apparently the newest iTunes update wasn't working on Windows PCs, and I couldn't access my iPhone through my computer so I couldn't upload the pics. But I think I found a fix, so hopefully I'll have the last chapter of season 1 up and ready to go before too long! Quote Seriously Old MOCs Search For the Kraahkan!
