Hi, Jinogre here with some [i]exciting[/i] news (maybe not, oh well).
For all of you who enjoyed my recent post ([url=http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/67959442/0/0]this one[/url]), I've decided to listen your voices and make a full web-series comic.
However, like any [b]decent[/b] comic strip publications or web releases, I need a lot of support (I'm simply a college student with a computer, pen, and scanner; I don't have the resources and time to actually develop this into a full series and will have to be something I do as a hobby). I'm not asking for money or donations. All I need is everyone's patience and understanding that this thing is really going to be only as a hobby and nothing more.
This means a couple of things:
1. I will not be releasing this daily, weekly, or perhaps even monthly. I can only draw and post comic strips during my free time. With my first year of college and Destiny appearing on the 2nd and 9th, respectively, I don't think you'll be seeing me anytime soon.
2. They will be pretty low quality in comparison to actual web comics: there will be no editors, no backgrounds, no name checks, and probably [i]no color[/i] (sorry, guys, I'm not majoring or minoring in art and I have never taken an art class thus far; my proficiency in drawing is pretty much shown on the previous post and my [url=http://leounsung.deviantart.com/]deviantart[/url] account).
3. All of my work will probably be directly based of the Bungie community members' suggestions. This may be good or bad.
I would also like to ask you, as my audience, to suggest a few things in regarding to [i]how[/i] I should post my comic strips. If I were to release this comic, let's say monthly, I don't think it'd be efficient for me to post a new strip on the Bungie/Destiny forum (seriously, FՄCK the forum).
Aside from this, expect another update for my "What I think about this forum" mural.

Edited by aboniks: 8/19/2014 9:37:51 PMAs much as I hate to say it, Tumblr may be the way to go, since it's easy to share, and definitely non-commercial. (so Activision probably* won't send you a cease-and-desist if you're careful, but you'll be able to get lots of eyeballs on it.) Also, your DA link is broken in the OP, add www. [spoiler]*I am not a lawyer, but they already came down on somebody here who wouldn't take IP seriously. [/spoiler]

Because updates are a hassle in the forums and I don't have a tumblr, anyone else got suggestions?
-
i like your...sketches :)

Make a comic about how Pluto is so a planet. Anyone that says otherwise hates Pluto. And if you hate Pluto you suck.

Reported.

Possibly a Three Stooges approach with the three classes?
-
when you say eff the forums, do you mean the offtopic forums or do you mean all forums in general.
