Excuse me, mister "painstakingly hand drawn," but this isn't exactly high quality art. And from the looks of it, most sprited comics actually have more work put into them than what you drew. Recon tosses in loads of special effects and custom made graphics (like the 3D badges and Pokéballs). What do you have? Oooh, some curvy motion lines? I can easily see how your drawing was harder to do than Pokémon X and every other high quality sprite comic on the net. Besides that, no one likes a whiny female dog. "OMFG where is my karma?!?11/??!?1" Shut the hell up. [Just remember that I'm being nice, too. I could have said something about the social life, but I didn't.]

It's not high-quality?? @_@ Tell that to all those people telling me it is! And if you don't find it high-quality, it's not because I riush it but because I may not be as good a drawer as other people. And unfortunatlry, my drawing skill does not affect how much time I spend on making the comic as good as I can. And one more thing...the page you sent doesn't work for me. I think you meant to send this link: someplace.keenspace.com

No, I meant to link directly to a comic, but I forgot about keenspace's iron-clad hot linking protection.
And I've seen far better art than what you crapped out, and for you to say that you're better than all sprite comics because of what you and your friends percieve as this fantastic art is just grossly disgusting.
Anyway bigbboy, mjc is almost done with mjc's sprite for bigbboy. mjc is sure that bigbboy will like it!
... Wait, this isn't the Pokédex Insanity topic! Oh well.

Okay, I've got it almost done, but I need some help. I'll PM you what I have, and explain what I'm trying to do to finish it off.

I didn't say my comic is beter than all sprite comics, I just said that hand-drawing comics is much more difficult than making a sprite comic! @_@ And for the record yet again, I don't know any of the people who post on my tagboard in person. So to call them my 'friends' really isn't right :/ Not only that, there are actually very few sprite comics that make much effort to stand out. I don't know if you've paid attention to any gibberish people say about sprite comics, but what is usually said about them is that there are not even 10 sprite comics (actually they usually name only 2 or 3 sprite comics they find worthwhile) worth reading on the internet (Not my quote, that comes form other people). Recon himself has admitted to not spending nearly as much time as I do drawing each individual comic (the difference is in hours).

I strongly disagree with the first statement. Making a (good) sprite comic is FAR more difficult than any drawn comic. And as for the second statement... Yeah, I'm NOT going to take your word on what Recon has admitted to. And if it really takes you hours to draw your comics... Wow. You give yourself WAY too much credit. There are tons of artists who could crap out on entire comic of your drawing qualilty in 10 minutes. 20 tops. Get the hell off your high-horse, because you are not a great artist.

Well guess what? I'm not one of those artists! I'm still trying to improve my art and find ways to make it easier to draw comics while keeping the best quality I can. Oh, and can you send me a link to artists who can draw that quickly and well? I'd love to see thier art and learn from them! And if you choose not to believe what I'm telling you, go right ahead. I'm telling you that it's the truth, but I know you're never going to trust me enough to believe me. Next time you talk to Recon, ask how much time he spends drawing each comic. Oh, and can you do me a favor? It'd be nice if you went to my tagboard and told people that you think my art sucks. Hopefully you'll knock some sense into the people who praise me and I'll get some critisisms on my art.

Next time you talk to Recon, ask how much time he spends drawing each comic. It's called a SPRITE comic. He doesn't draw it. That doesn't mean he doesn't put in as much or more effort than you do, though.

You know what I meant, mjc. And can you please send me that link? I love looking at really high-quality art, it always inspires me Actually mjc, why don't you send me some of YOUR art? I'm sure since my drawings suck so much you can easily top it

Personally I hate fireworks for sprite editing, I used it a lot back when I worked with flash and website design but thats all I ever found it useful for. I like paint better. It may not be as powerful but honestly I dont think I'll end up needing anything else. Yes it is quite easy to juggle all of this when you realize that updating both once a week is really not that difficult. I use paint to to make the sprites. Its just that fireworks works well making little gif movies Plus bigboy, like I said in the last post, if you need any help. ask me. I am willing to help you any way I can.

banov and mjc, take it to the flame war thread or shut the hell up.
We don't need you two spamming up another perfectly good thread. And no, I don't care who started it, quote eachother and paste on the flame war thread, that's what it's there for.
