King Atari Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 Heh heh, I can't tell you all the experiences I've had like that (oh okay, I've never had an experience like that). Still good stuff, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 Excellent strip, and in color! However, the collector made a fatal mistake of saying, "Was it the rare Crazy Climber?", instead of just playing dumb. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc4 Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 that is amazing stuff, great art. is there anyway you can explain how you draw like that. I've noticed a lot of pixel art on the net lately but my method of drawing pixelart is crazy time consuming. Do you have a faster method that doesn't involve actually drawing each pixel one at a time? It drives me nuts thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 Those strips come out very very small and are really hard to read on a high resolution But that one is pretty funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATARIPITBULL Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 That was funny, I like the evil little sales person playing mind games on the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 This may be the best yet! Man that guy is so mean! Rock on Randy. This stuff is hellla cool! I give it 5 Spideys!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquid_sky Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 Randy, you need to go into syndacation. Excellent work, you always keep the comic fresh, and painfully funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Gill Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 Randy, My favorite one so far! In color too! Thanks, Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fretwobbler Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 This ones a cracker, I especially like the touch of color, but number 2 is still the best for me Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranthulfr Posted July 14, 2002 Author Share Posted July 14, 2002 However, the collector made a fatal mistake of saying, "Was it the rare Crazy Climber?", instead of just playing dumb. Yeah, a real collector would never announce the rarity like that, but hopefully it will allow a few more people to "get" the strip. Think of it as an "artistic concession" rather than selling out. is there anyway you can explain how you draw like that. I've noticed a lot of pixel art on the net lately but my method of drawing pixelart is crazy time consuming. Do you have a faster method that doesn't involve actually drawing each pixel one at a time? Actually all the strips have been created entirely in MS Paint, and yes, it can be somewhat tedious. I try to make use of all the tools and Zoom In/Out often. Paint is capable of doing more than some might realize, but it would definitely be nice to graduate to Illustrator. Those strips come out very very small and are really hard to read on a high resolution The strips are a little larger starting with this one, so hopefully that will help. I admit, the old micro-text was hard to read. Thanks for the comments King Atari, JCroniger, ATARIPITBULL, StanJr (wow, 5 Spideys - thanks), liquid_sky, cmgill, Fretwobbler, Albert, monster greifen an, and NE146.

+Cafeman Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 Paint is capable of doing more than some might realize, but it would definitely be nice to graduate to Illustrator It's true. I've fudged photographics, made Gif base art, did mockups for my 5200 game, did lots using good old free MS Paint. I'm sure there are better things to use, but Paint came through for me many times. Getting back to the subject, Randy! That is SO FUNNY! You got the gift, that's fer sure. So many comics don't make me laugh. Like take The Family Circus in the Sunday Papers ... although I 'get it' and might smile sometimes, it's never made me laugh out loud like, say, Calvin and Hobbes, or The Far Side. I think that there is a strip over at Good Deal Games (Our Princess is in another Castle, I think?). I've read every one, and they aren't bad but I just don't laugh at them for some reason. I think your pixel art toons have made me LOL every time! I'd love to have a whole book of these some day. Kinda OT but I've wanted to do my own strip too for some time. I've had a few ideas but never anything very good. maybe someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel D. Park Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 Really great strip.. I still think the last one may have been my favorite with the line. "Of course you won't live to enjoy these things." That cracks me up.. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not any room in this one, but in general, you could have put that part in a thought bubble, and just had him ask to see the cart. (PS - this is one of my fave strips so far) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all your comments, Cafeman. If you decide to do your own strip I'd be happy to link to it from Game Chambers. I'd love to see some of the artistic people on this site create their own comic strips. There's not any room in this one, but in general, you could have put that part in a thought bubble, and just had him ask to see the cart. Thanks Russ. That would have been a great idea actually. Thanks everyone for the additional comments. I really appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
