    this is my first comic, so please try to offer "constructive" criticism.




    this is only the cover but more will be coming soon, so sit tight.

    Hi. A few suggestions:

    [LIST][*] Try not to use gm_construct. This is the standard map which is shipped with GMod and is mainly used for the sandbox gamemode. There are other maps which suit your storyline, for example, rp_c18_v1, rp_tb_city45_v02n, etc etc.[*] Try to use a spellchecker before you post text. Microsoft Word is quite good but there are websites as well, so have a look on Google.[/LIST]
    Apart from that, your posing is fairly good considering it's your first comic, especially the masked man on the right, that posing is pretty nice.

    If you're using paint, then don't, use http://www.gimp.org/ or Adobe Photoshop if you have it.

    Good luck on the next comic, I'll be looking forward to it.

    If your PC is shit to the point were you have to put it on the lowest settings then you shouldn't make comics.

    Nothing will looking good. Ever.

    He's right. If your PC can't handle decent Source settings then stop now, sorry.

    I don't think it's that big an issue. Generally pictures can be cleaned up afterwards with an image manipulation program, it's just a better PC can help save a lot of time and effort later on.

    Why would we donate for you to buy a new computer? Mow some lawns. Get a job. Work for it your self. People get flamed for asking "I want tf2 plox so gift meh it!" so why should we give you our money?

    Dude you have no right to tell this guy if he can or can't make a comic. He has all the right in the world to make a comic with shitty graphics, terrible spelling, and boring characters.
    It doesn't mean should but you of all people should be the last to tell him he can't make a damn comic.

    If he wants to be respected on comic making, and get C&C without having people say "Get a new pc", then he needs either turn graphics up when take a picture, OR get a new pc.

    I do turn the graphics all the way up, to medium. which is what my PC can handle if nothing moves. then I Photoshop the rest with the help of Son 0f Grim, who's a buddy of mine.

    Then you should have said THAT.
    You shouldn't have said he isn't allowed to make a comic at all.

    And on this note, I proudly present
    You REALLY should work on getting a new computer, your editing skills, and ideas before making a comic. I may have defended you but that doesn't mean I think you should keep going. To be honest this comic needs a crap load of improvement.

    comment on the comic, not the image quality. I hate the low quality, if you hate it so much; PM me and you can be my camera man and take photos for me, then Email them to Son 0f Grim so he can Shop them and then I'll post them.

    I'll happily hire a Camera man with a better PC then me to take photos in High-def.

    Read harder, good sir. He wants a guy to take the shot for him after he's done with the posing and stuff.

    I don't know if I should help you; The comic doesn't look good right now, but it could just be the graphics.

    Also, the editing isn't really sharp. The only thing I can see him doing is covering the entire picture in white.

    Looks like the first episode of Red vs Blue. Where they go.

    Guy 1 : Hey
    Guy 2 : Yeah?
    Guy 1 : You ever wonder why we're here?

    Then Guy 2 breaks into a speech about wondering if there's a God. Looks very fimiliar actually.

    Durp, the whole FREELANCER thing in the title, user name, and player model didn't tip you off?

    How are we supposed to think about RvB when we read the title, and look at the "playermodel" ?

    And why does this Grim fellow make the panels so bright?

    Yeah I'm siding with FT here. It sounds like you took the idea from RVB and when you were found out you tried to turn the table on the guy that pointed it out.

    Moron (Son 0f Grim) thinks he looks cool wearing sunglasses constantly, my guess is he was on his laptop, outside, and forgot to take them off before he edited. i complained to him, but he was an ass and is being lazy so he refuses to reedit them.

    Edit: my original player model, for any one who plays Gmod with me, was a black armored Spartan.

    Then practice editing your own work instead of letting a "moron" do it for you.

    No one here plays Gmod with you and a black spartan doesn't automatically mean RVB.
    It's not like "OH, he uses a black spartan model for his player model! He must be using Red VS Blue as an inspiration for a comic!"
