awww the unfunniness of this comic is off the charts
derpish hunter is derpish
what the heck is wrong with nicks hair!?!??!
Ah, Lewis. Can’t stop thinking about his pills.
I love you. This game was my first all-nighter game. Me, my friend, pepsi, and 10 hours of nonstop gameplay. This joke strikes home for me, and I loved the artwork too. Great job
Damn another one I didn’t get at first because I didn’t play the game =’(
Curious question about the thought process behind this (not in an insulting way, trust me).
With the focus of the first panel being drawn to the bottle of pills marked as Dr. Mario Brand Morphine, it appears you were setting up for a Dr. Mario related punchline due to the marked bottle being foreground coupled with the extra attention brought on by the arrows. Was it your intention to throw the reader off to thinking an alternate punchline was involved or was the punchline shown the original intention?
The reason I ask is because if there was no “Fake out gag” involved than more of the focus should have been on Louis finding the pills or the Dr. Mario removed from the pill bottle. Because on a short, 3 panel gag like this, the way it’s presented the reader’s attention is first brought to the Dr. Mario pill bottle before Louis, setting up a Dr. Mario gag rather than a L4D one. It’s a nice little call out but it doesn’t really suit the gag, which is a good gag in my opinion but the way it’s being presented needed a bit of a tweak.
The best train of thought in these quick shot comics is the KISS method: Keep It Simple Stupid.
The delivery style doesn’t suit comics, try change your delivery, or find a dubbing team.
I am inclinded to agree, the punch-line is good but the only problem is your delivery, which does not really go well with the comic format and thej joke in question.
Other than that, keep up the good work!
I… Don’t get it, who is Louis?
Louis is from the game Left 4 Dead
I haven’t played that game in ages, thanks for that
.
Wow louis, even the undead think you have a problem man.
These comics are actually really bad
That… doesn’t help me improve, but thanks for your minimal feedback.
I’m actually inclined to agree, but I think you have real talent there. It’s the plot of these things that doesn’t really strike a chord at least with me. Coupled with the fact that sometimes the art seems a tad slanted.
I know it’s preferable to hear constructive criticism, and I hope you get that most of the time, but on the AJS, I’m fairly sure most who would dare speak up against you would get quickly gunned down by angry replies.
Have you considered using more shading on your work? I think that could very well be an easy way to improve the overall quality and look. Like in this strip in particular, it would look way more dramatic to have Louis much more shaded in the dark room (shade is always nice anywhere!)
As for the plots of these things, sorry can’t help you there. This one did get a little smile out of me, but it’s still the old gamer’s classic “Louis wants piiiiiills” so it feels a bit dated and overdone. Although it’s just the way I would’ve gone about it, I would’ve created the “intervention” in the first panel and just kept going from there in what Louis would’ve actually been like in an intervention, with maybe some massively exaggerated facial expressions to kick the lines home.
I hope you get some more feedback on dA. Keep improving
I don’t see how this kind of feedback would be gunned down honestly, it’s more thoughtful, insightful, and has some time put into it. I’m being 100% honest with this post here.
Yeah, I suppose that if it helps visually I can start to add a bit more to the colors as opposed to flats, times like this however I really wish I had a tablet. And yeah… I guess it is an old joke… o.o;
Better comic next week. At least I’ll try to make it look really really good!
i don’t know much about artistry as my artwork sucks (as witnessed by my bad attempts on DA). But as far as comedic storylines, yeah, louis + pills jokes pretty much went stale once halolz got a hold of them. Let’s see there’s the whole slew of RE6 jokes you could make, there’s the case art (slug and giraffe doing the nasty), there’s the “j’avos” AKA zombies with guns. Just look at current games and whatever jokes you can make about them that come to mind when you look at them just roll with it. Not trying to be a dick, i actually chuckled a bit at this comic but like i said it is an old joke.
I never really paid attention to Halolz… guess I’m slightly out of touch with major gaming related sites. Better comic next week, promise!
first
