Description Finally done with this thing.
It should've been finished earlier, but there were so many things I wasn't happy with and needed to change. I also learned a few things, so it wasn't all in vain.

Also, the fact that the Spore - Creature Creator demo was leaked early sure as hell didn't help me finish it either.

You may notice new characters?
I wanted to introduce them, but I had too many ideas that I wanted to do and I work so slow, so I just decided to skip forward.
Consider this a new beginning to my series. I'm planning on continuing the page format, as I was advised to do so by a known art critic guy.


Characters from left to right:
Floyd (Crazy motherfucker)
Zoe (Self-proclaimed pacifist, but kicks the shit out of anyone who hits on her. She's a music geek, so she always wear headphones)
Jake (Paranoid, impulsive and a little psychotic (although he usually hides it well) guy who works at a mental institution)
Kim (Artist friend of Bernard. He can watch Eraserhead without having to bash his head repeatedly against the wall afterwards as I did)
Christine (Artist friend of Bernard, Kim's girlfriend)
Ivor (Mad midget genius)
Bernard (He's just there, and he's stupid (and badly drawn in this comic))


I think the speech bubbles take up too much space now as I can't adjust the text as much now as I work with computer text instead of hand written.
Should I revert to hand written again? Or is it really that difficult to read?

They don't have "what"?

And taking "innocent" thing like being stabbed by tentacles, and twisting it into something perverted like tentacle rape, isn't really that far fetched. In fact I've seen many others who saw the same connection.

And the Japanese are crazy. But that's exactly why they're so awesome They got a lot of creativity going on over there. I mean, you don't see my country making movies on the same scale as Spirited away and Ghost in the shell. There's a huge difference from being crazy to being dumb.

He's hanging from the colossus' butt-hair, not the colossus' wang. I don't draw genitals.

Dude! This game is only bossfights.

But I have to admit, now that you say it I actually had to get help from an online walkthrough on how to defeat more than half of the colossi.

Haha! I love that game!
Fantastic comic! Love the last and second-to-last panels, very funny. Great facial expressions too. Keep up the good work!
Hm...tentacle rape...? Holy crap, you're right!! Those sick game developers...lol

Illmad In reply to TheLastVeo [2008-07-06 23:14:41 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the comment
Second-to-last panel was a bitch. Well, all panels with fur in them was ass to make. I had to redo/edit it several times, but I like to think of it as learning process in order to not think of it as wasted time. I'm certain I could make a comic like this in about 70% less time than I used on this (a week) if I started now.

And technically it ain't rape, They're like...stabbing the guy through the chest and shit, (Murder is more forgivable than rape? Well, both is considered to ruin the victim's life. Perhaps more literally in the case of murder) but they're tentacles alright!
Considered leaving that comment out, but I wanted to have something that had people go a little "WTF?"

I know, I kept creating spore creatures too. Its very addicting. At any rate, this was a pretty funny comic despite me not having played the game.

You should if you could. The traveling parts are a little boring, but the fights are the most entertaining IQ tests you'll ever find. Every boss you have to study in order to find out how to beat it. I found it so hard I had to use strategy guide on 2/3'rds of the game
(Note that was a while ago. Now I'm twisting my brain over the hardest Sudoku puzzles)

After reading your post, I went to youtube and watched soem shadow of the colossus videos. It looks pretty badass. Good luck with your sudoku puzzles.

nice colouring job, especially on the metal bits. ^_^ i also like the 6th panel. very cute look (for some odd reason)

the crowded look on the last panel because of the speech bubbles suits the "stressful" atmosphere of the whole er.. thing. so i guess it depends on what kind of "feel" you're looking for when you are choosing between computer written text or handwritten text.

Thanks! Been longing for some constructive criticism here. Really appreciate the comment

(Btw, it's rock, not metal. At least in the comic. Not sure what it is in the game though, but the armor breaks under several occasions, so I kinda guess it's rock)
