No, we are not DISCUSSING comic books, but rather we are going to make our own comics and slap it together to make the 1st Ever NSG Comic Book


You can thank this post (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=12181598&postcount=393) for my brilliant idea. :p

Nahhh - I don't have that much spare time on my hands. I guess it'd fall under 'satirization', but I just boosted 'em from the Archie Comics website the other night and edited 'em. If you sift around the site, you can find 'back issues' of various titles...

I used to do this stuff with paper cut-out voice bubbles, glue, a felt-tip pen, and old copies of Avengers Comics back in the 70s. Photoshop is my friend.

I made a comic, but for some reason photobucket keeps condensing the damn thing. Its dimensions are 450 by 2400, but when I upload it to photobucket it keep shrinking it to 101 x 540 pixels. Does anyone know what I have to do?

It says "Max Image Size 15" Screen (800 x 600)". I think you'll have to format your panels accordingly.

Seeing as I haven't heard one way or another, I'm going to take my idea back now. My next NS Comicbook piece will be "Captain Americana vs. Something-or-Other-I-Haven't-Quite-Worked-Out-Yet" - well, assuming I can find some decent material to work with, anyway. We'll see.

Use it. Abuse it. Feel free to insert whatever verbiage you see fit to have Cap Americana regurgitate, as only NSG's beloved & sexually perplexed American icon can.

Ahh... images knicked from Google Image and a copy of Photoshop. I do this sort of thing for a living, but I do it with video and motion-graphics. Doctoring comics is me having fun and maybe showing off sometimes, too. The trouble I have is doing it consistently, 'cause getting too involved makes it too much like my day job. I want to do maybe two pages for Dark Sinuhue, so I kick this one out to force me to do more. I'll replace this last image once I get a whole page together.

The titling was pretty fun. I wanna make glowing smoke come out of her eyes in the second panel, though I think. And I'll probably wanna change her chest emblem and maybe even give her more of an authentic Sinu - hue.

Oh Ruffy - didn't you just get high-speed? Your pr0n horizons should have expanded exponentially by now. Heh. Just tell me you don't do Janeway Trek pr0n, and I'll forgive you.

I actually sometimes spend whole evenings honing my skills reinterpreting boosted pr0n photos. The results vary, from the abstract to the ugly, from the glamorous to the stark. I once even contacted one of the models, to get her okay in the event of some sort of misunderstanding. As it turned out, she was involved in some litigation against some of the websites that were distributing her photos illegally and I was of some assistance to her. And she had me send her my photo reinterpretaions, which she thought were terrific. Very nice woman.

I really ought to make a website for my stuff.
