05 - Entering A World Of Pain

Rutger on Oct. 10, 2007

So todays comic was a bit of a pain. I wasn't sure where I wanted to go with this one. I knew it'd eventually end in a fight, but well, I couldn't just have them jump at eachother for no reason. Sure, Grak wants to kill them, but that alone wasn't enough for me to have them start fighting just yet.

Besides the small writersblock, the last panel was a bitch. I tried a couple of various effects for the jumping actions, but in the end I liked this one the best. What can I say, I'm still a learner. However, I did edit my first sprite today. I changed Grak's expression in the second panel. Took me 20 minutes before I was happy with the way it looked, but I pulled it off.

Finally, credit for the cheesy lines in panel 3 go to Jebus, comedy goldmine and crankiest Op in the Universe. Thanks Jeebs. Also, whoever guesses which movie Neo's battlecry refers to, wins a prize.

That's it for today, so check back tomorrow, same time, same place.


Muntron won the prize, by getting Neo's ref. It's based on the Bill & Ted movies. Ted was played by Keanu Reeves, Captain Logan was Ted's father. Muntron has won FyreHyde's spleen.
