Preston & Pratt - An Escapist Webcomic - Temporary Closure -

[Anarchemitis]

Greetings once again Escapists. My name is Anarchemitis, and hereunder I shall be making a webcomic.
It started with going through a cool artist [http://www.rawlsy.blogspot.com/]'s blog, on which I found a blank graphic novel panel set, which I decided I would ask permission to use and then started adding speech bubbles filled with whatever, in a similar fashion to Dinosaur Comics. Which is to say that all the comics I shall post, will be identical apart from their commentary.

#1, #2 [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.126399.2676086], #3 [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.126399#2695606], #4 [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.126399#2708707], #5 [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.126399#2725677], #6 [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.126399?page=2#2742172]

This is not the first time [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.94061] the Escapist Forums [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.77525] has been home to a webcomic, and probably surprising to you as much as it is for me, nor my first time [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.74570] either. Hopefully if I ever come to some sort of continuity discontinuation, it will be more ceremonious than previous attempts...

*Ahem* Moving on, our Pilot episode.

Mandatory Jokes

Feel free to comment or criticize.

I'm actually going to have to put this on hold for a while due to reasons undisclosed, and probably will resume at some delightful point in time in the future. Cheers.

 

[walls of cetepedes]

That is actually very good.

 

[The Infamous Scamola]

Hehe.

Middle speech bubble I felt was overly long( Although, that might be the point), but other than that, good job.

 

[Dorian]

It looks pretty good.

I'd read it.

 

[LordOmnit]

Quite amusing. Although, I'd try to keep them a little more concise at least in the beginning.

 

[randomize4]

That's pretty funny. Also, I think you got most of the internet stereotypes down.

 

[AkJay]

The artwork is good, and i like the old-style themed mixed with recent events, pretty good comic.

 

[Skreeee]

I love it, particularly the Beckham story on the newspaper. Lovely little extra touch.

 

[Neonbob]

Nice work! I enjoyed the humor, and the stereotypes were great.
And of course the art was amazing.
Extra points for using uptight old men.
Kudos!

 

[Anarchemitis]

The art style for me is rather taste than effort, because I did not draw or pen it. I just did the speech bubbles and words.
And, more to come. I wish to do this about twice a week or so.

 

[megapenguinx]

Ha, there just had to be a "your mom" joke in the pilot. I liked it, it spoke the truth but I do have to agree the second speech bubble was like a mini wall of text.

 

[Insanum]

i loved it, if you make more please PM me the link.

You know what? I'm really starting to dig the idea of making short little one-shot comics. I don't know why: the idea has just begun to dig into my brain ferociously, like a mole on steroids.

It makes NO sense for me to be thinking this, because I lack several things that are typically required to make a comic. Examples include drawing skills or any sort of program to make said comics in. Well, I have Photoshop, but I don't know how to use it.

I like your comic by the way. Quite witty and such.

EDIT: Bookmarked, for future reference.

This brings up a question for me actually: how did you do this?

Is it a re-dubbing of something else? Because that's what your wording seems to indicate.

Sorry for the double post.

This is the original picture from www.RAWLS.ca [http://www.rawlsy.blogspot.com/], from his Graphic Novel "Agent Orange".

In Photoshop with a combination of layer masks and the marquee tool, I add some clever text, and bubbles around them.

(My fear in showing that picture would be that then people start ripping this off. Please don't.)

The Long & Short of It

Here's something that should have been done a long time ago. Long enough ago that the internet would be different, and gratefully so.​

Hmm...perhaps a bit of a spin on what people said about your last comic, no?

I do find it mildly irritating when people complain about "too much text."
Really - how slow do you read?

 

[NeutralMunchHotel]

Just an idea, you could change the newspaper headline in each comic. A bit like the couch gag in The Simpsons - that was always my favourite part!

 

[Lord George]

I like it, similar to the Dinosaur comics.

Of the Simpsons, or the comic? - Bah, doesn't matter.
I'll see what I can do. But the change won't be installable until August.
