CaT in Rogue Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) Hi, and welcome to my new comic series, MSPain(T) Comics! The comic series is so named due to the main medium being MSPaint, with GIMP used for (and ONLY for) text glow and background making. Anyways, time to get started! (BTW, I use the corresponding keyboard symbols instead of the actual numbers, so good luck!) Credit for the sprites go to Dark709. The forums messed up all of my URL's for some reason, so I erased them. You can find all of my comics http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=486594&n=0]here.[/url]GS and PGS positions are closed.PGS':1: King Joe2: Leganto The Le-MatoranPlease comment![/center] Edited December 21, 2012 by Kung Fu Rahkshi Destroyer "Whether that is right or not...I also...as a Rider...have a wish that I want to fulfill."
King Joe Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Hahaha!!!! That was actually pretty good! I love making fun of cliche comic stuff, while at the same time making my comic cliche....YES!! Supersonic speed somersaults always beat small electric rodents! yay! My Old comics, Of Hedgehogs and Lego Bricks - My Epic, Hero Factory: The Biosteel ChroniclesTrifecta!
Calvirick Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 I like them so far. Though in the second comic it was hard for me to read what was going on. But it was still funny.
CaT in Rogue Posted November 2, 2011 Author Posted November 2, 2011 Comics 3 and 4 are up! I made a mistake in Comic 4 about which body sprite to use, but it's no big whoop. "Whether that is right or not...I also...as a Rider...have a wish that I want to fulfill."
King Joe Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 That was good. I would always get a little carried away with punching down bread. As a matter of fact, I would get carried away with candles too.... Hmmm... My Old comics, Of Hedgehogs and Lego Bricks - My Epic, Hero Factory: The Biosteel ChroniclesTrifecta!
CaT in Rogue Posted November 5, 2011 Author Posted November 5, 2011 New comic up! My sister's sprite is based on her self MOC color wise, but she prefers to have a Huna on her sprite, and I used a Hau in real life. Also, I've noticed that the red characters in my comics have gotten into the most trouble so far, though not on purpose on my part. Remind anyone else of a particular 70's Sci-Fi show? "Whether that is right or not...I also...as a Rider...have a wish that I want to fulfill."

SO glad I based my form off of Sonic. Blue shirts almost never die. Well, there was that one time with Spock, but he got better. Anyway...That fact about blueshirts not dying? That may change when I meet your sis... MEEP! My Old comics, Of Hedgehogs and Lego Bricks - My Epic, Hero Factory: The Biosteel ChroniclesTrifecta!
CaT in Rogue Posted November 10, 2011 Author Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) New comic up! Although this comic is a filler, it reveals two important things: 1) I know how to use GIMP, as seen in this comic, and 2) I'm making all of my character's sprites three (or four, depending on the sprite) shade! Woohoo! Edited November 10, 2011 by Kung fu rahkshi destroyer "Whether that is right or not...I also...as a Rider...have a wish that I want to fulfill."
toastergrl Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Kung fu person, you actually know how to make GIMP comics! That's good, because otherwise I would have gone on a random angry tirade.I was going to rant at you about how using MSPaint in your comics is an art form, signified most by Gerlicky's SpoofQuest and Lavaside Rahi's timeless classic series, but how your series fell in the uncanny valley of quality - that disparaging dip between well-done simplistic MSPaint and high-definition PhotoShop/GIMP. I would have asked you to pick a style and stick to it- one normal text style/size, using consistent backgrounds, and resizing characters using the percentage function, not the corner draggers. I would have asked you to make the backgrounds simplistic, to unify your style with two or three shades, and to generally just keep up the good writing you've been doing, the only weak gag you've ever made involving the incompetent Burger King Joe and his boring Sonic ripoff's ability to spindash at people. The way you compared his fancharacter to a Pokemon, in particular.HOWEVER, I realise you are fairly competent at GIMP, and would in fact ask you to start leaning the other way- refine your GIMP skills, do away with that horrid MSPaint spraypaint can texture and make your series really interesting to read! Your one comic of GIMPness actually is really enjoyable and not painful to read like your MSPaint comics are. I mean, they were painful to read in style - you actually managed to nail interesting writing during your stint as a MSPaint user.HOWEVER(x2), I ALSO realise you want to make these comics in MSPaint, in order to stick with the name that you've given it. And I respect that! And perhaps, if you get your style unified (and not riddled with that horrid spraypaint tool effect, or with out of proportion characters) they would be really good, and I bet you would get all of the people to like them! I guess. People can be fickle.You're in a lucky position that you have two ways you can take to become a much better comic maker - two methods at your disposal - and a surrounding group of friends that can only help you go up in the buisiness. My final piece of advice is that, perhaps, the worst possible thing you could do would be to continue going on as you were, making substandard MSPaint comics. What's the point of good writing if nobody can bear to see the pictures associated with it, huh?
CaT in Rogue Posted November 15, 2011 Author Posted November 15, 2011 2 new comics up! I'm sorry for the difficulty in reading the text in Ice Cream Tour!, but I couldn't find anything to make it easier. If need be, I can post what it says. By the way, that is an actual Dreyers ice cream ingredient list. As for the second comic, I changed the background to a straight color, and made it bigger all round, which will make it easier for large blocks of text to be read. "Whether that is right or not...I also...as a Rider...have a wish that I want to fulfill."
King Joe Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 ...I am never eating Dryers Ice Cream or Cupcakes again. My Old comics, Of Hedgehogs and Lego Bricks - My Epic, Hero Factory: The Biosteel ChroniclesTrifecta!
CaT in Rogue Posted November 17, 2011 Author Posted November 17, 2011 New comic up! Everything listed in the comic is real. Amazingly enough. Oh, and that's Grank {the green guy} talking, I forgot to make the lines. "Whether that is right or not...I also...as a Rider...have a wish that I want to fulfill."
CaT in Rogue Posted November 19, 2011 Author Posted November 19, 2011 New comic up! This is basically a strip to celebrate my B-day, which is when I'm posting this, as a matter of fact. "Whether that is right or not...I also...as a Rider...have a wish that I want to fulfill."
CaT in Rogue Posted November 21, 2011 Author Posted November 21, 2011 TWO new comics up! The first was inspired by Darcsyde's 'The Net is Slow' song. The second announces my discontinuation of WaterWorks by instead integrating it into MSPT Comics, and my new use of GIMP. (P.S. If you don't get the joke, you've never had Nutella before.) "Whether that is right or not...I also...as a Rider...have a wish that I want to fulfill."
King Joe Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 Didn't get it. Never had nutella. Looks good in gimp though. My Old comics, Of Hedgehogs and Lego Bricks - My Epic, Hero Factory: The Biosteel ChroniclesTrifecta!
Sybre Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 The first comics were a little cheap, but good. When I first started making comics, my work STANK! mindeth the cobwebs
CaT in Rogue Posted November 24, 2011 Author Posted November 24, 2011 3 New comics up! The first two are the beginning of a sort of story arc, such as it is, and the last one is just a joke based on cleanliness, or rather, the lack of it. "Whether that is right or not...I also...as a Rider...have a wish that I want to fulfill."
CaT in Rogue Posted November 29, 2011 Author Posted November 29, 2011 New comic up! Continuing the 'Negatoran' storyline, this comic gives a heads up to NeGrank(or, rather, a whack upside the head) that he's not as smart as he thinks. "Whether that is right or not...I also...as a Rider...have a wish that I want to fulfill."
King Joe Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 @ latest comic...LOGIC! They must not teach LOGIC in Negatoran school.@ Shower comic... My Old comics, Of Hedgehogs and Lego Bricks - My Epic, Hero Factory: The Biosteel ChroniclesTrifecta!
CaT in Rogue Posted December 2, 2011 Author Posted December 2, 2011 New comic up! Looks like it's a radiation bomb, but what would you call that? R-Bomb? (P.S. This is the new permanent background, at least until we can get the painters in) "Whether that is right or not...I also...as a Rider...have a wish that I want to fulfill."
King Joe Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 I like that fire guy. He's awesome. My Old comics, Of Hedgehogs and Lego Bricks - My Epic, Hero Factory: The Biosteel ChroniclesTrifecta!
CaT in Rogue Posted December 3, 2011 Author Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) Yeah, Tahoni fills the positions of both goof and redshirt in these comics. However, he can act pretty awesome, as seen here. Edited December 3, 2011 by Kung Fu Rahkshi Destroyer "Whether that is right or not...I also...as a Rider...have a wish that I want to fulfill."
CaT in Rogue Posted December 17, 2011 Author Posted December 17, 2011 New comic up! These are the very first versions of Kovastrin(AKA me) and Tahoni, from my very first comic series, using my very first comic making program, Kolourpaint, using the very first font. (P.S. I just HAD to put Herbie in there!) "Whether that is right or not...I also...as a Rider...have a wish that I want to fulfill."
King Joe Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Theres TWO!I missed one...Hm.But the Nega Toa one was funny. And the "you said" joke, though it be old, is always good.A tip, you might want to put the comic you're posting in the post that announces it. That way people don't always have to go to the first post to read the new comics. My Old comics, Of Hedgehogs and Lego Bricks - My Epic, Hero Factory: The Biosteel ChroniclesTrifecta!
CaT in Rogue Posted December 20, 2011 Author Posted December 20, 2011 New comic up! Our heroes come face to face with the bomb company Ziant's 'Trootrake'! Or do they? "Whether that is right or not...I also...as a Rider...have a wish that I want to fulfill."
CaT in Rogue Posted December 23, 2011 Author Posted December 23, 2011 New comic up! Grank and the gang put up Christmas decorations, but what they say and what Tahoni hears are two completely different things! "Whether that is right or not...I also...as a Rider...have a wish that I want to fulfill."
CaT in Rogue Posted December 29, 2011 Author Posted December 29, 2011 New comic up! This is why you should never let Nastrivok babysit your kids. And, yes, Nastrivok actually lives at MSPain(T) Comics!, he just likes to make trouble, then make it double. "Whether that is right or not...I also...as a Rider...have a wish that I want to fulfill."
King Joe Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 Dude. Those twins.They are epic.And no. Never ever let him baby sit kids.In fact, stay away from my cat. My Old comics, Of Hedgehogs and Lego Bricks - My Epic, Hero Factory: The Biosteel ChroniclesTrifecta!
CaT in Rogue Posted January 7, 2012 Author Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) New comic up! I once saw a comic saying that a New Years resolution is a To-Do list for the first week of January. This comic is the reality.On another note, the strip style instead of the scrunched style may look weird, but I think it's better for this particular comic. Feedback? Edited January 28, 2012 by Kung Fu Rahkshi Destroyer "Whether that is right or not...I also...as a Rider...have a wish that I want to fulfill."
King Joe Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) That was great. Less than a week in, and half your resolutions are blown. That's usually how it happens.

CaT in Rogue Posted January 10, 2012 Author Posted January 10, 2012 New comic up! The Velociraptor is going to be Nastrivok's pet in future strips. Of course, I'm not revealing the name right now. Let's just say it'll be a punchline for one of the strips. "Whether that is right or not...I also...as a Rider...have a wish that I want to fulfill."
CaT in Rogue Posted January 16, 2012 Author Posted January 16, 2012 New Comic Up! This is my first ever attempt at hand-drawing a comic, and I both love and hate this format. I love it due to the artistic freedom it brings, and you can display a lot more emotion than with sprites. However, it's a hassle to draw, especially since I have an unsteady hand. Tahoni's arm position in the third frame was redrawn at least 5 times before I just gave up and made his arms go down to his sides. "Whether that is right or not...I also...as a Rider...have a wish that I want to fulfill."
King Joe Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Not bad for a start. I'd give it some more work, and it could be epic! My thing is, I use a ruler or something for straight lines, and keep going over things till they look right.

CaT in Rogue Posted January 22, 2012 Author Posted January 22, 2012 New Comic Up! This comic is based off of some trouble with iTunes that I've been having. Poor Tahoni never knows what's going on. "Whether that is right or not...I also...as a Rider...have a wish that I want to fulfill."
JiMing Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Okay.The title now doesn't make sense (and one of your tags) due to the use of GIMP.But nice comics, I liked the one with Jurassic Park. And your name is also awesome. Haven't seen one of these in a long time...
CaT in Rogue Posted January 22, 2012 Author Posted January 22, 2012 New Comic Up! As pointed out by JiMing, (Thank you for the comment, by the way) the title may not make much sense now that I am using GIMP. The official reason can be seen in the topic heading, but this is Tahoni's take on it, as a duly deputized agent of the S.O.A. (Screwballs Of America) "Whether that is right or not...I also...as a Rider...have a wish that I want to fulfill."
King Joe Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 I must join the screwballs of America. My Old comics, Of Hedgehogs and Lego Bricks - My Epic, Hero Factory: The Biosteel ChroniclesTrifecta!
JiMing Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 We can count on the Screwballs of America to (not) solve all of our problems! (A Google searchbot is viewing this topic now. Scary) Haven't seen one of these in a long time...
CaT in Rogue Posted January 25, 2012 Author Posted January 25, 2012 New comic up! As I hope you guessed, Maskstone is based off of Facebook. Guess how many friends Tahoni has on it! Also, I plan to kick off another storyline soon, and hopefully it'll work out better this time. "Whether that is right or not...I also...as a Rider...have a wish that I want to fulfill."
