First, PM all authors what you plan on doing. Second, After everyone agrees that your idea flows with previous comics, and that it does not clash with future comic ideas, you will first send everyone the comic before its made official, that way we can all give advice, tips, and ideas in case there are MAJOR clashes. Minor clashes between ideas should be settled with me and those involved. This will make the story flow much smoother, and we will (hopefully) have less confusion and make higher quality comics!This is the important stuff.A.K.A The storyline and kit (for authors, may contain spoilers)The kitThe insurrectionist group, called "Rift" has started open rebellion against the government of Terra. The leader, Ptolemic, has disappeared, with no word of what to do. Constant dissidents join the ranks, and many a rogue join. To start things off, one of the officers (authors, in this case Soran) leads a group to find Ptolemic. While this is happening, other officers rally the rebels and stage different attacks on the Terran Army. Later, once Ptolemic has returned, the group is attacked by Terran special forces (kit not yet done!). Ptolemic himself is tainted by a dark substance, something not yet ready to be mention much in the comic. That is all, for now...Thank You for your cooperationCredits:Rahi ZakuMetrukuta...er...what ever it is now Edited May 24, 2012 by Ptolemaios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Invictus Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 The series has promise to become much more serious, but this first comic kind of casts it off with the ways it portrays what's supposed to be serious, such as "Want to start a resistance?" and how it changes scenes quickly.Waiting to see more. Oh, and make the panels bigger. The text, especially is hard on the eyes. Up, down, turn around, please don't let me hit the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soran Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Not sure how the storyline is going, but I'll be sure to check in often because it seems rather interesting. I can't tell much from the first comic, but it does seem compelling. Nice going, I hope to see more.~Soran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Ptolemic Of Zyglak Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) Yeah, I didn't think it would have been so small. And in sense, the guys aren't all to serious to begin with,which is why they're so blatant.Also, I fixed the comic ~Ro Edited March 5, 2012 by Rahkshi Overlord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soran Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Yay, the comic is now much easier to read. the beginning is so mysterious, like, "Who are the Terrian grunts, what are they affiliated with?" I'm starting to wonder who the purple and red person is as well. I expect the story to dwell on who is who, and what they do, and such soon. I wonder what they want to start a resistance from, and what they are resisting. I hope to see some answers soon...~Soran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soran Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Wow, that last comic was pretty awesome, the end was really dramatic. I liked it a lot. I wonder who the mysterious group of matoran with the black eyes are, and the Terrian Grunts. Its an interesting story, all though it seems a bit too fast paced. Might need to slow it down and explain more things in more specific details. Keep up the good work.~Soran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Ptolemic Of Zyglak Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Thanks for the input guys! I intend on slowing things down, add a bit more panels for action scenes, and I'm typing up the script/text while making the comic, then adding it in GIMP last, that way I remember what they're supposed to be saying Also, I'll be explaining one faction in the upcoing comic, due anytime this week.Don't know how long I'll make it, but it will be good and suspensful.~Ro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodrak Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 This is very interesting, and I'd love to join. The color of the text is not well matched to the person, and so I mix things up.

Sir Ptolemic Of Zyglak Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 Been longer then I'd prefer, BUT, I got a new comic up OhanzeeNext comic will most likely be by one of the other authors.That said, if you want to make a comic, just pm and we can work things out. You will be introducing your character FYI.~Ro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control_Vee Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Uh... Okay, i'm really not sure how to respond this. On one end, it looks good, effects are great - aside from some of the text being a bit difficult to read. I'd suggest using a different font and, if needed, make it bigger/bold font effect. Good luck, Ro. Sisen said:Let's focus on Snail! Snail is the bombdiggity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Ptolemic Of Zyglak Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 Thanks for the input! I've been wanting to do text bubbles, but a) I have no experience with it, http://www.bzpower.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/cool.png I want text bubbles that fit and look good I'm trying to find colors for the text and a better font, anyone good with gimp text or any free programs that would help?~Ro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soran Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Text bubbles are actually pretty easy to create and you can download specific fonts from websites, same with specific brushes for Gimp. Just Pm me and I'll help you out with it.Well nothing to say much about the last comic besides that it was really interesting. It looks like the grey person might of been a ally to the red masks group. Interesting storyline so far...~Soran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch. Messed up on some of the eye glow colors using red instead of orange and also forgot to focus blur some of the background when doing a close up on the characters.

Sir Ptolemic Of Zyglak Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 Going to work on a comic today, but I might not be able to, General Conference is today and tomorrow (don't ask, although I believe Tenebrae and Tavakai know what I'm talking about).Anyway, I'll be spending most of my time trying a new style for the setup, something like Soran's, that way panel size doesnt matter too much. Hmm, this, shall be trying...~Ro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ehksidian Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I am still scripting.Argh, why is it so difficult to come up with a good setup...I have the middle and end done, just no beginning....arrgh. gotta keep working.And hopefully I won't finish the script and just not make the comic.
