Pah, if you really hate it that much, it might get changed when if and when I start revising comics... Since some of the chapters really do need some changes to bring them up to spec.Uniju said:OMG, You insult the name of Naoto Oshima like that...![]()
Formerly of Sega, now working at Artoon of Blue Dragon and Yoshi's Island DS fame. And I really would like a more in-depth analysis of why you don't like the GIMP effects, and which of the various effects used you don't like, which you do like, and your reasons for liking/not liking them. I understand that you are not a comic maker though, so I won't ask you for tips on how to improve the SFX :PBlitzwing said:That new chapter doesn't feature any ugly GIMP effects, which is good.
And who is Naoto Oshima? Some dude working at Sega?
Supposedly? He designed Sonic, and probably other characters and robots in the first Sonic game aswell. He was also a character designer on Knuckles Chaotix, designed NiGHTs (The character), and directed Sonic CD and NiGHTs (The game). A very big influence on Sonic Team... But then he made the mistake of disagreeing with Yuji Naka on where the Sonic series should go after Sonic Adventure, and left.Uniju said:He WORKED at Sega, but he left and founded Artoon. Supposedly he was the guy who designed Sonic the Hedgehog.Blitzwing said:That new chapter doesn't feature any ugly GIMP effects, which is good.

Ok... Wait what?Xluidi said:You insult Seven Rings in Hand![]()
Ahem, I never really liked those "Blurr" effects, using them once and twice to show the violence of an attack is OK, however, sometimes you overuse those and it really distract from the rest of the comic. Chapter 12 is a good example of badly used special effects.Snack said:Ok, lots to talk about here.

I have to admit Uniju has more talent than me in the graphics area... And he has enough patienence to make good fight scenes, something I lack.

[19:04] <Snack> Hello, and welcome to show, how about you introduce yourself!
[19:04] <ChaosNinji> I'm a Plumber from Idaho with a Ph.D.
[19:04] <ChaosNinji> :O
[19:04] <ChaosNinji> Hi, nice to meet you.
[19:04] <Snack> Interesting
[19:05] <Snack> Well, lets get into our questions then
[19:05] <Snack> What do you think about Legends of the Fallenstar?
[19:05] <ChaosNinji> I believe it is a great comic overall.
[19:06] <ChaosNinji> For one, its more mature than other comics (BIG PLUS)...
[19:06] <ChaosNinji> And it also incorporates the ideas that made other comics so sucsessful (tSC, tLA...)
[19:06] <Snack> And what is your favorite chapter?
[19:07] <ChaosNinji> I'd have to say the one where Uniju was defeated by Crash.
[19:07] <ChaosNinji> I believe its 10.
[19:07] <Snack> Yeah
[19:07] <Snack> Chapter 10 is popular
[19:07] <ChaosNinji> Its also very long.
[19:07] <ChaosNinji> 0_0
[19:08] <Snack> I think that Chapter 10 represents where the comic really got it's status as one of the best.
[19:08] <ChaosNinji> Yup.
[19:08] <Snack> Well then, what about your least favorite chapter?
[19:08] <ChaosNinji> I'd have to say #14.5.
[19:08] <ChaosNinji> The Christmas one.
[19:08] <ChaosNinji> No offense.
[19:09] <Snack> None taken
[19:10] <Snack> Who is your favorite character in the series?
[19:10] <ChaosNinji> Hmmm...
[19:10] <ChaosNinji> Burt.
[19:10] <Snack> Heh, Burt is popular
[19:10] <ChaosNinji> He's pretty darn funny with his slacker ways.
[19:10] <Snack> Lucky for you, Burt appears in tonight's Chapter 21
[19:10] <ChaosNinji> :D
[19:11] <ChaosNinji> Can I ask a question?
[19:11] <Snack> Ok
[19:11] <ChaosNinji> What ever happened to the meteor/fallingstar?
[19:12] <Snack> The Fallenstar space ship is currently to appear in Chapter 24 making it's first flight
[19:12] <ChaosNinji> OK.
[19:12] <Snack> Well then, who do you think needs more screen time in the series?
[19:13] <ChaosNinji> Hmmm...
[19:13] <ChaosNinji> That's a tough one.
[19:13] <ChaosNinji> Maybe Xzelion, since he pretty much stars in every comic anyway.
[19:14] <ChaosNinji> Maybe PLUMs and Bean, because they were an awesome duo.
[19:14] <ChaosNinji> Maybe even YOU!!
[19:14] <Snack> :P
[19:14] <Snack> Its hard to make a comic with so many lead characters and balance the screen time they get
[19:14] <Snack> That is one of the biggest challenges
[19:15] <ChaosNinji> Yeah.
[19:15] <ChaosNinji> And it seems that every other comic, the characters appear.
[19:15] <ChaosNinji> Like after 16, you had a whole comic starring Toadbert.
[19:15] <Snack> I needed it to balance out the emo in #16 :P
[19:15] <ChaosNinji> :P
[19:15] <ChaosNinji> Yeah.
[19:16] <Snack> Well, what would you change in te series if you were in charge?
[19:17] <ChaosNinji> I would change...
[19:17] <ChaosNinji> The very long monolouges.
[19:17] <ChaosNinji> o_o
[19:17] <ChaosNinji> No offense.
[19:17] <Snack> Heh, my comic does get pretty talky :P
[19:17] <ChaosNinji> :P
[19:17] <ChaosNinji> Like at the end of comic 12.
[19:17] <ChaosNinji> Wait, it was 13!
[19:17] <ChaosNinji> At the end of that, they start fighting and monolouging, and the jelly guy just sits there.
[19:17] <ChaosNinji> o_o
[19:18] <Snack> Well, I need something to really end this with a bang, so how about you predict the events of #21 so I can laugh at how wrong you are?
[19:18] <Snack> :P
[19:18] <ChaosNinji> Uhhh...
[19:18] <ChaosNinji> THE WORLD ENDS.
[19:18] <ChaosNinji> :O
[19:18] <ChaosNinji> AND UNIJU BECOMES A 'CRAT...
[19:19] <ChaosNinji> AND XZELION KISSES PURPLE YOSHI.
[19:19] <ChaosNinji> :O
[19:19] <Snack> :O
[19:19] <ChaosNinji> THAT WOULD BE TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTALLY UNPREDICTED.
[19:19] <ChaosNinji> Oh yeah...
[19:19] <ChaosNinji> And the Fallingstar Spaceship turns into a potato.
[19:20] <ChaosNinji>![]()
[19:20] <ChaosNinji> A REALLY BIG POTATO!
[19:20] <ChaosNinji> AND IT FEEDS THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD!
[19:20] * ChaosNinji monolouges more...
[19:20] <Snack> And thats a wrap. All of you guys go home and speculate on romanance subplots and really big potatoes now!
[19:20] <Snack> Any last words Ninji?
[19:20] <ChaosNinji> Oh yeah...
[19:20] <ChaosNinji> I have some last words...
[19:20] <ChaosNinji> Gimme' a second to write them...
[19:21] <ChaosNinji> This letter tells a story about power and politics and propaganda, about the tension between respectable, hardworking people and resentful slanderers like King Klargo The Krispy, Ph.D.. It is a story about King Krispy's efforts to repeat the mistakes of the past. When writing this letter, I had originally intended to segregate the pure errors of fact in his comments from the assertions of questionable judgment where there could
[19:21] <ChaosNinji> THERE'S MAI LAST WORDS!!!
[19:21] <ChaosNinji> BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
[19:20] <Snack> TIMES UP!
[19:21] * Snack kills Chaos Ninji
[19:22] <ChaosNinji> Got it?
[19:22] <ChaosNinji> That a wrap?
[19:22] <ChaosNinji> o_o
[19:22] <Snack> Your still alive?!
[19:22] <ChaosNinji> Can I go for donuts now?
[19:23] <Snack> Yes
[19:23] <Snack>![]()
[19:22] <ChaosNinji>![]()
Unfortunatly, it probably won't. With the pace of the story the comic will easily go over 50 chapters, and with the pace I release chapters at, who knows when the comic will get to #50. When are you leaving anyway?3Dejong said:*huuur*
When I'm gone, I just wanna be GONE. NOT FEATURED IN ANY MORE COMICS.
OR wonky fanfictions.
I sure hope this comic wraps up before I leave.
No I'm not. The comic is at #21 already, and the vast majority of the story is still left to tell.Uniju said:He says he's leaving in two months.Snack said:Unfortunatly, it probably won't.

Also, you're heavily exaggerating.
Uh, that was me.3Dejong said:No, that was me. >>
