Lop Huckawuckie Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Adventures of BillSince 2007 Here's everyone's favorite slowest updating comic series! These comics, which I made for fun, focus on Bill, a mild mannered fireman who is secretly an undercover secret agent for the Rebel Alliance. He is disguised as an Imperial Officer aboard the Death Star. Instead of drawing this comic or using a kit or sprite set, I decided to use real pictures that I took with my digital camera. I then edited them into a comic using some free software (The GIMP). I have them in two sizes: Small and Full, depending on if you're on a mobile device vs. a desktop computer. Please leave any questions, comments, (or criticism) below! Comic #1 - "Bill's Introduction" - ">Full - ">Small Comic #2 - "The Meeting" - ">Full - ">Small Comic #3 - "Delivery Dispute" - ">Full - ">Small Comic #4 - "Busy, Busy" - ">Full - ">Small Comic #5 - "Rock Raiders" - ">Full - ">Small Comic #6 - "The Path to Power" - ">Full - Small Comic #7 - "Card Trouble" - Full - Small Comic #8 - "Stormtrooper Training" - Full - Small Comic #9 - "Swept Away" - Full - Small Comic #10 - "Sparks on the Run" - Full - Small **NEW COMICS** Comic #11 - "Sparks Escapes" - ">Full - Small Comic #12 - "Risky Recharge" - ">Full - ">Small Brickshelf Gallery (when approved)Alaska Works - Main Website with Comics NOTE: You don't *have* to read them in order, but they do make a little more sense when read as a whole, particularly starting with comic #5.

Lop Huckawuckie Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 YES. THEY'RE BACK. AFTER ALMOST SIX MONTHS THEY HAVE RETURNED. WE SHALL ALL NOW DO A MASSIVE SHOUT AND DANCE OF REJOICING. Also, it seems that your camera has decided to fail or something. And please convert to PNG, it helps my loadtimes. Thanks! And actually, my camera isn't broken; I was going for a stylized/cartoon effect, hence the dark lines and speckles, rather than using the raw images. Also, all my comics are in PNG already, save for the small version of comic #8, which is JPG because the JPG version is a few MB's smaller. PLEASE Upload to the gallery so all of RRU can lol, locally. I've attached comic #8 to this post! <file removed> Thanks everyone for the positive response!

Acmex Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Eh, its not the lines I meant. There are a large number of JPEG compression artifacts scattered around #8. So yeah, either I never noticed those before or your camera failed. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah, either I never noticed those before or your camera failed. Ahh. Well, the first panel has a lot of ISO noise on it (ISO 1600), although I dialed the camera back to hold it down to ISO 400 for the rest of the panels. But yeah, looking back, there is a good bit of noise/grain to it. I'll look to address that in the future. From an artistic standpoint, I like some graininess, but too much isn't good either.

Cyrem Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Well done Lop Huckawuckie and it is great to see you are still working on these. I have been awaiting a new comic since you made your last, and well, you delivered! I too like some graininess in images rather then them being too smooth. Best LEGO comic around to date. Thanks again for some laughs :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
