Me and my friend, buffy_boy_, have decided to make a small sprite comic. For now, it's mostly random attempts at humor, but there will be a storyline....eventually.....Anyway, please give us some feedback on how we're doing, and be sure to check back because there will be more to come. My character is Rannos, and buffy_boy_'s is Zantar. The first, fourth, and fifth strips are mine, and the other two are made by buffy_boy_

Yes. This is his and mine comic....just posting this to tell you all that.... I'm the other author you guy would probably beleive him (him being the supreme member than I) ....ok just verifing.
And to tell you that some sprites also courtysy of: www.uncannyx-sprites.com sure only in one tiny part but still.

In the words of the Critic, "It stinks!" ... but that is just my opinion being said in the words of another person.

The sprite images are all fuzzy in quality. The fonts are different. The text boxes are not sized properly for content. The humor is ... not really existant. The face on the "other author" is badly done ...

Really, there are no redeeming aspects to the comic.

Ummmmmm....not to be rude or winey or evil or anything but just to tell you the ones that just star me are made by me everything else is made by him thats one thing bout thed fonts and also in mine ,I meant for the fonts to be different.

I knew you ripped off that comic.

First off, you're using JPEG quality sprites. Save your sprites and sprite comics as PNG.

Next, try something that hasn't already been/something with humor. Spoof some real life event, anything.

And try some backgrounds. You know, from Megaman and such. It really adds spice to a bland comic.
Good luck, and don't rip off other people's comics! >:O

I was mostly talking about the first strip when it came to the fonts. So I had no real issue with the font in your strips. I just did not like how he used Times New Roman for one person, and Comic Sans MS for the other. He even used different sizes thoughout the panel. Continuity is key.

In all honesty, your strips were the better of them. Not saying they were good by any means, but better than the rest. They did not seem to make any failed attempt at humor, and I liked your use of a sans-serif font. Serif fonts and comic strips just do not work well together, which is one reason why the other strips were far under par.

And seeing as how Kazuko pointed out you ripped off that other comic, plagiarism is really offensive and lowers the quality of not only the comic, but the person who made it as well.
