my part-Anim8or comic strip

(1/2) > >>

hi all
don't know why i didn't think of posting this earlier - i wrote almost 600 episodes of this comic strip a while back, and i've been posting them online at 5 or 6 a week, i'm currently just past #350.  the characters (well, most of them) are anim8or renders, but the sets (when i bother with them) are mostly drawn in in Microsoft Paint 98 (which i used to add the dialogue and master the comics as well).

i guess it's a case of "it's anim8or, jim, but not as we know it"... just thought i'd share it, as it's a slightly more unusual way to use our favourite software.

you can see it here: Cylinder and Miserable.  hope you enjoy  ;D

lol, that's...origional, a really creative use of anim8or, i was thinking of doing something a bit like that before, but like the half animated half comic cutscenes in some marvel games, but that idea failed...almost instantly, great work, loads of little episodes

lynn22:
I enjoyed that, didn't read them all though   ;)

Tanzim:
Where do you get the time to do all that?

thecolclough:
3d joe, lynn22 - thank ye, glad ye liked 'em :)

i didn't have a proper full-time occupation for about 15 months, between finishing my a-levels and starting my current degree course.  i like to call it a 'creative gap year' ;D - besides writing this comic, i also drew a much shorter one (just 26 epsidoes) with better artwork, and i built a pretty big mosaic to cover a depressingly unartistic patch of blank wall in the art building at my sixth form college (piccies here).  also i was actually quite lazy with the drawings on most of the cylinder and miserable episodes - you don't have to look very hard to see that i reused the same bits of picture over and over in various combinations.  there are only 2 or 3 anim8or sets in the whole thing, most of the rest are either quick msPaint scribbles, or else not drawn at all... although i did put about two weeks' work (on and off) into the Fungal Temple exterior model and render for Episode 0253.
