It's pretty hilarious at 2 in the morning.

Ahhh... now the real reasoning comes out. I am suddenly filled with sympathy. I've been there mate, rushing out a comic for the next day late at night, and having it turn out crappy.

But what deadline were you trying to meet behemoth? I'm pretty sure none of us would have been slitting our wrists if you had decided to sleep in and make some sense...

I had been working on a project and was bored and decided to take a break and do something fun. No deadline. Just boredom.

Helpful advice:
Do not save in JPEG format unless the file would be over 3 megs otherwise. Use PNG form. JPEGS blur sprites, text, and bubbles, and everything else you can think of. Most of the red-on-black text is not readable. FF1 sprites are used to death, especially ones that have Clevinger-esque personalities. Characters and personalities from different games would be refreshing. I haven't seen a good FFII through FFV parody yet. (Don't use megaman either, there are about 18 million megaman comics). I liked the desert background, but why were they in the desert? The last comic was in a forest. There is no cohesiveness between comics. A great point behind Brian's comics is that they build upon each other. The light warriors don't run around in random places swinging around chuck-weapons at each other. That would get stale. Sit down for a little bit, and write a plot. Then write subplots. Then you have a "series" of comics that will tell a story and will entertaining to read.
If you enjoy making these comics and are serious about making more, you will not be afraid of criticism. It is the only way you will get better. The day it stops being fun, stop making them. Make a story you enjoy telling, and we will enjoy reading it. The importance, for me at least, is a story. Good jokes are just little gems that some writers can throw in there to make it that much better, but the story should be the heart and soul of your work. Webcomics are a wonderful new art form, and I would love to see the community grow. Keep working hard. Even Brian, after 400 episodes, learns as he goes and grows better with time. Keep learning and you will entertain us.
-Sorry for the long post.

^ Well THAT was incredibly insightful. Said what I was going to, and a whole lot more. Good advice overall. But when you say II-V, you imply you've seen VI+ parodies somewhere. Might I request a link to some of these? The good ones, I mean.

I think part of the point of the comic was I was trying a hand at an 8 bit theater comic... thus the title. and is 5.8 megs more than 3? there's no cohesiveness between comics cuz they're not suppose to be related, they're just comics that I make when I need to take my mind off of things for a bit. and for 2 in the morning in between working on servers, it's not bad, I thought.

It was good, It made me laugh, but why not work a little harder on it, and dont do it at 2 am agian, if you do it agian you may get somethin like this.
ITs a comic i make for my friends site, the first 5 are an example of repeating the 2 am thing
This is a part of a comic i made,

Neo-Tsunami 03-28-2004 02:22 PM

It's kinda like my webcomics...the first...um...threee i think aren't funny to people who don't know me and my friends well. Yours is kinda like an 8-bit Theatre rip-off. Your humor is a bit silly, though. You just need to exploit it a little bit and your comics will be funnier.

I'm still struggling with my drawings but the strips are getting funnier :P....>_<

behemoth 03-28-2004 05:11 PM

I've been considering doing an 8 bit comic with the theme of dbz vs 8 bit theater. actually was gonna make an animated gif of it. I think it'd be kinda funny. I was also considering making a thing with fighter going ssj and stuff. that one'd look cool
