Dmitri Kalashnikov Posted November 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Ugh...I hate the fact that I have to tell you guys this, but, it's better now to give you the heads up. I've REALLY gotten into doing this series, and I LOVE you guys' support for it. So much, that I actually want to make this an actual comic. The problem? I'm using copyrighted materials for backgrounds, which means my *albartroth* would be sued silly in no time if I tried to get this published online and IRL. Now, DON'T PANIC, as I will contiue to make more of this series. The catch? Well, I need to redo the entire series pretty much so that the backgrounds are photos I have personally taken myself. No need to worry, like I said, the series WILL continue on; I just need to take a break from dishing out new stuff to tweak the backgrounds of the previous pages to make them into my own work 100%. So, until further notice, "All Your Base" is taking a break to fix itself up. I promise I won't erase over the images of my characters or their speech bubbles or guns, etc. In fact I'm going to find better pictures of backgrounds that fit the scenes better. Well, I guess this is farewell for now, and to quote McArthur: "I shall return!" And just because I love you guys here so much, here's page 016, the last new page until I fix this minor problem.

mower Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 good on ya mate and we really apreciate the time and effort you put into the comic that i for one enjoy imencely so please hurry up mate! Link to post Share on other sites
zootso Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Hah, yeah he sorta looks like Frosty, but you cleared it up. Link to post Share on other sites
Dees Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 I h ave to admit, I am enjoying this comic quite a bit! If you need any help with background pictures, I am sure many of us out here could email you pictures of our playing sites that would help you out and give you a wider variety of terrain to use. One thing that you might find amusing to try, add your characters to a team picture of your actual airsoft team and post it, I bet the other players on here would think that pretty cool! Keep up the good work, nice to have someone else on here that likes the AK and makes a comic about it! Link to post Share on other sites
PaNdeMiC Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Do you draw these figures with your mouse or do you have some kind of tablet or something like that? They look awesome imo. Link to post Share on other sites
JimmehR Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 One bit of advice, use png compression instead, you're getting a lot of jpeg artifacts. Link to post Share on other sites
Rulfo Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 I was inspired by Zootso's series 'Plastic Shot' and Kendodude's '48 Hours' to start this. It's still in the middle of being made as we speak, but these 4 pages are the only ones done right now. Please enjoy! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Pretty nice Link to post Share on other sites
Dmitri Kalashnikov Posted November 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Dees: thanks for the offers, but I'm going to use terrain around my step-dad's house since it's like a freaking jungle out there. Zootso: That little line about Frosty was made especially for you, pal. Heh heh. I wonder what would happen if we did a crossover with our characters and have our teams mix up Frosty and Slovak. lol Pandemic: I'm using a mouse, actually. I don't have any money to get a pad for my comp, but actually, I drew this a lot neater than I tried with simple pen and paper. Jimmehr: I'm not sure what that is. Is that when you make the image small and clickable to a larger version? Link to post Share on other sites
JimmehR Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Jimmehr: I'm not sure what that is. Is that when you make the image small and clickable to a larger version? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> When you've made the comic, instead of saving/compressing it as a jpeg, save/compress it as a png, it has less quality loss with no artifacts (the small semi transparent squares around the edges of jpeg pictures) I've uploaded two examples for you i just knocked up in paint, you'll see the artifacting i mean, they're the same as what you have around the edge of all of your characters and items etc. (Enlarge the pics) Link to post Share on other sites
Dmitri Kalashnikov Posted November 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Ah, I see. I'll be sure to do that when I fix up the series Link to post Share on other sites
expvideo Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Pretty nice <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just for fun, could you try not quoting a whole *fruitcage*-ing page just to say "pretty nice"? Link to post Share on other sites

Dmitri Kalashnikov Posted December 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 STATUS UPDATE!!!!! I have only six more pages of backgrounds to erase, and then, it's a matter of sprucing up the picture with the new backgrounds and stuff. Like I said before, I should be done by the end of this month at the latest (assuming finals don't do me in, lol), and I also have a nice little surprise in store for you guys (a GOOD one, mind you). Well, until then, it's back to the grind-stone. Ten-hut! Link to post Share on other sites
