Hey all; have a slightly irritating announcement to make >< Thankfully it's merely a short-term thing. Long story short: The comic is going on hiatus for the next month, effective immediately. There's basically 2 reasons for this: All the lines up to this point were done over a year ago. On the one hand this has been handy…
Alright, so... I have a biiiig problem that's come up rather suddenly ><; I have the flat colors all laid out for Page 11 - while I'm slightly behind, I think I could easily get it out by Wednesday except for one little problemo... My USB cord has been chewed by one of my cats. That means I can't use my tablet; which means…
I have to agree with the OP. This is CO's chance to really redeem itself in the eyes of gamers - both it's small existant fanbase and potential players at large. There are basically imo 3 things that need to be done: 1) Expand. The game needs to grow. New areas, new comic series (not one or the other - both), more and…
In spite of immense doubts on my part about actually pulling it off... I managed to get Page 10 finished! <^_^> Posting it momentarily! Thanks again for all the support everyone <^-^> ya helped give me the impetus to push myself that little bit extra to get this page in on time.
I'm still holding out some feeble hope for Wednesday hehe >_< But it's going to be iffy - late in the day if it does go up Wednesday at all. And also - Thanks everyone for the wellwishes and especially for the kind words regarding the comic <~_~> Honestly my art level often depresses the heck out of me* - so needless to…
Thank you sockmunkey! --- I'm afraid I have to delay this week's post, I'm not sure how long. I've had a terrible headache all week and it's made it difficult to work as much as I usually do. Traditionally I'd be finishing up the shading and doing the text about now... instead I'm just finishing up the flat colors; and I…
Page 9 ought to be up Wednesday as per usual <^_^> The schedule last week was kind of weird since I skipped an update, then delivered the missed update and the update for the week after both early, so right now we're back on schedule; though with a little luck I *may* get this one in sooner rather than later. I'm just…
Is good gama <^_^> My complaints pretty much all stem from there not being ENOUGH of it; and that some parts are too silly.* Other than that though there's a lot of wonderful stuff in CO. Tons of customization, freeform power selection for golds... is glorious <_< *It's not that I mind *some* silliness; but I don't feel…
I finished Page 7 a bit sooner than anticipated (yay!), so I figured rather than hang onto it over the weekend, I'd go ahead and put it up now <^_^> Page 8 should in all probability go up on the 19th as planned.
It's a game mechanic. At level 25 you earn the ability to create a custom villain to foil. Basically it goes like this: Step 1) Pick a personality - there are 3 types, Lunatic, Savage and Mastermind; each has a different dialogue when your Nemesis pipes up during special Nemesis missions. Step 2) Pick a powerset. Step 3)…
Well, Bluhman did all the important work, but I have a template that someone might find a use for, so I figured I'd share it anyhow. Petite Female < . .> YMMV, but I figure more options is better than fewer, and I did say I'd get something up here!
Actually it's even simpler than that: Put your Q up for a ridiculous price no one will pay - then cancel the transaction. Your Q is now in the Questionite exchange buffer and not on your character. Switch characters. Now collect your stuff from the exchange. <._.> You don't even have to go through the relative hassle of…
This is a good idea. I'll see what I can do to provide a few later today. (I too am not enamored of the default setup.) As a warning though, I only play female chars, so someone else will have to provide templates for the guys as I have no experience messing with their proportions.
Something that may work for you Sam, try the grey just one single spot up from the first black.* I've used it a few times for 'black' costumes that I don't want to be detail-obliteratingly black. *Do NOT use the second black, the one down at the bottom, unless you either want pitch-black or you're using metal.
Hero Name: Thunder Valkyrie Theme Song: Rapid Fire - Judas Priest Reason: Thunder Valkyrie's overall visual design and power selection are themed off of the A-10 Warthog - the song has the right 'feel' for the kind of combat role both the aircraft and the heroine take, even if the actual lyrics aren't quite exact. --- And…
Click character names for screenshots where available: I'll start with the easiest - Hero Name: The Grey Kestrel Theme Song: Batman: The Animated Series Theme Reason: The Grey Kestrel is a Bat-Family homage character; the kind who'd fit relatively well in a Bat-comic, movie or show. Needless to say, the theme song is…
So I'm looking over the inks for the next page, and there are some spots I really want to change that, combined with the late start on this page (due to the delay on Page 6) is going ot make it pretty difficult if not impossible to get Page 7 in on time. So here's my plan: No page update this coming Wednesday, BUT! I'll…
Yeah, that's the one! For some reason it's not showing up on my menu... hrm, but if you've got it... how bizarre. >.< gonna try re-logging, maybe that'll jar it loose.
Anyone else missing the flappy-hangy-down thing on the Persian 2 belt? >< Cause I seem to be missing it. (The No Cloth version looks identical to the normal version.)
Also - something I think really needs to happen with CO: We desperately need more developers. I mean it. For this game to stick around it needs to attract people, and for that to happen it needs: More content. Better content. Fewer bugs. It needs all of these things at once, and right now, we don't have the people to make…
Yeah, the Nighthawk thing really is something you shouldn't be trying until level 15. I realize that they're using "giant monster" code* for the NPCs, so I can see where someone may have thought that anyone could handle it... but that neglects to mention the Supervillain class enemies in those missions. Supervillains…
Very awesome video. I really hope it works. I don't see it as at all likely though. If it were a... friendlier... company, I could see it happening, but NCSoft has the tendency to think of it's customers as less than dirt, in my experience. (I say that as both a longtime COH player and a former Tabula Rasa player - yeah…
I'm largely OK with this idea - 50 bucks is a large amount of money to pay for one character slot, so I have little issue with it being kind of a 'mini LTS' type of deal. Especially since the actual LTS is just a much, much better value overall imo.
This first one is actually a reversal - this is a CO character who migrated briefly to COH - Saber Dance - CO Main Costume Saber Dance - COH Costume The second here shows a rather radical change in concept, largely because I loathe the Single Blade powerset's mish-mash of animations. Yumii's longest-serving COH Costume (As…
Page 6 is now up! Let me apologize for both the delay and the relatively chaotic nature of the page. This was kind of an exposition page, and as you can tell, I am not an experienced comic artist/writer/letterer etc... yet; so I freely admit, this page is kind of a mess. I did what I could, but the problem is pretty…
It varies a great deal, much like my inspirations for art and writing. Sometimes it's a color, other times it's a song, some times it's a theme, sometimes it's a set of powers I want to mess with... it all just depends. Joy Buzzer was largely inspired by a Legion of Laughter thread asking people to create their versions of…
I skipped the tutorial. <_ _>; I really hope that didn't end my chances before I even got started. I think another issue (for me at least) was that I rerolled an existing character. The Grey Kestrel had been sitting at level 10 for over a year, I rerolled her for the event and got her up to 40. She started at 6 (like…
I remember that guy... he had a REALLY weird mechanic where to do damage to him cost you resources. But if you WON the fight, apparently you'd get all the resources he'd ever 'collected' in the form of damage taken. I think I actually saw him Live in the first month or so too, because I couldn't go to Monster Island in…
Agentnx5 - 1) I actually made the point further down that if we can't get the whole shebang, we ought to get the devs. < . .> I'm well aware NCSoft has a vicegrip on it's IPs even after they die. It's why we'll probably never see a Tabula Rasa revival despite that IP being ripe for development. 2) From actually playing COH…
I just find it immensely unlikely that the shutdown has anything to do with PWE to begin with. In my estimation it's exactly like NCSoft said... a business decision. NCSoft is after all notorious for doing this kind of thing. Remember Tabula Rasa? Auto Assault? Dungeon Runners? All dead now; and TR particularly had a small…
