Meyres of Drifting Huna Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) One day My cousin, The 1st Shadow, and I were discussing about the possibility of my own comics and now here I am doing my own series. It focuses on me as an anchorman running a news show. Please feel free to criticize my comic making skills, for I don`t possess the same experience and skills my cousin has. With that, on to the comics!

TERIDAX941 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 AAAARRRRRGGGGGGG an intro!!! so much suspense and it hasn't even really started yet!!! (hope it lasts...) Okay enough of that, now to be serious. I like it so far. The photography is nice, and I'm interested in this Carl character... I want to know... who he is... and what he's doing there... lol but yeah, full disclosure I'm really eager to see how this plays out.

fishers64 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 *pokes head in the door* Lol he's sleeping on a Furno 2.0 canister. Like the Lego logo in the background and especially the Visorak. I can just picture him sidling up. Good work and keep it up! I thought the cherry red chestplate clashed pretty badly with the orange huna though.

Reznas Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I actually really loved this. You're camera angles and character poses are absolutely ingenious, something one can say of very few photo-based comics. Some of the images were slightly blurry, but the amazing angles and posing made up for any blurriness. One thing you may want to work on is the text. Maybe consider speech bubbles? The current form of speech clashes with the rest of the art. But other than that, great work! -Rez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of speech bubbles at one point but decided to go with the colored text technique that my cousin,The 1st Shadow,uses his comics. Also, feel free to look at his works. He`s finished his first season. Also, new comic! Comic 2: Getting Started Edited July 6, 2014 by Meyres the Anchorman Quote Link to my comics coming soon... once I start them, that is.

Axilus Prime Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I like how Meyres was sleeping on the Furno canister. When he said Alfred, I was expecting a fancy looking butler type guy, not a Visorak Vohtarak, LOL. I wonder what all those arm buttons do. "Both metaphorically and on my arm" was my favorite joke of the comic. I was surprised to see Tapole make an appearance. Excellent work, senor! Keep it up!

Meyres of Drifting Huna Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 When he said Alfred, I was expecting a fancy looking butler type guy, not a Visorak Vohtarak, LOL. Actually, I believe he appeared in the 1st Shadow`s comics once or twice. The idea for Alfred was his actually. it was his 6th comic that inspired my series. And I bring a new comic.

The 1st Shadow Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) Yeah, Alfred was my idea, originally. Meyres and I bounce ideas off each other. He writes some bits for my comics, I help him out with his. Anyway, glad to see this series taking off so well, cousin. I look forward to seeing what you do with Theta 6 in comics to come.

Axilus Prime Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Oh. I do remember seeing a Vohtarak somewhere, but I don't remember it being called Alfred. So now there's a villain! I wonder what he'll do when he actually confronts Meyres. Also, those Matoran look very much like Piruk and Kazi. Is that coincidence, or are they meant to be them?

The 1st Shadow Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Also, those Matoran look very much like Piruk and Kazi. Is that coincidence, or are they meant to be them?Coincidence, as far as I'm aware. I actually imagine the two to have more of a Merry-and-Pippin sort of role. (For those that haven't read Lord of the Rings, Merry and Pippin were young hobbits that had a habit of getting into lots of mischief.) I suggested to Meyres that those two do just that--cause as much mischief as possible in the background without really getting in the way or even noticed by the main cast. As of yet, they are unnamed, so I just call them Dude 1 and Dude 2. Meyres may have a better answer, since it's his series. I'm just here to help. 1 Quote ~Your friendly, neighborhood Shadow ~Credit for Avatar and Banner goes to NickonAquaMagna~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some Random Phrase Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I like this a lot. I really like the ist Shadow's comics, though I never posted, and was sad to see the season end.

Pohatu: Uniter of Stone Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 It is okay! We don't want to rush you with the comics, because then they might not be that good. If you can keep up the quality of the first three, which I think you will, then this will be a great comic series! I've learned the hard way about rushing things...

Toa Doublebee Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Ever since I learned that G2 started, and I started being alot more active on BZP (which come to think of it, happened a couple days ago), I was thinking about maybe starting that comic series I thought of doing so manny years ago...Then I find you. A dude who actually did start one I must say I am slightly deterred from starting it now. Ya see, my OC has a mechanical right arm. Although I made him manny, manny years ago, I don't want to be dubbed a copt cat heh As for the comics, I love them they definitely have that classic feel that BZP comics had back in the golden days.I especially like the bit where the villain dips chems into the parts bin to make minions Gota love that creativity.I really hope to see more from you. These seem very promosing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IcarusBen Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I have a big problem with this comic. It's supposed to be about a news show, right? And yet I SEE NO NEWS. AT ALL. Not even a half-hearted attempt. The mocs are good, and the characters nice, but I still feel robbed.
