Full Version: Comic Application

1. I wish to be on the paper because: I have mostly quit Runescape, and I'm trying to find something to keep me tied down to Sals.

2. My desired position is: Comic Writer

3. Any experience in this area? Yes, plenty. I have done a lot of sprite comics, hand drawns, and although it is quite childish I pass a few of my written-down puns during class smile.gif

4. My example (This should be as an image, so forgive my descriptions of what is happening. It would be drawn.):
(Level 3 poofs into Lumbridge from the tutorial island.)
"ogm. dis is kwl. smile.gif" - Noob
(A level 89 is hanging around with some of his friends.)
"Anyone want to go members?" - Level 89
(Noob walks over to Level 89.)
"You r hawt!!" - Noob
"o_O I'm a man." - Level 89
"Yes you ARE! biggrin.gif **raises eyebrows**" - Noob
"Uh. Okay." (Turns to friends) "Come on guys, world 71?" - Level 89
"Sure." - Noob
(Turns back to noob) "You aren't a member." - Level 89
"Anything for you, my sweet." - Noob
(Silence for one panel.)
"It's only $5." - Level 89


Sorry if it's crappy, I'm kind of tired atm. Was awake until 4 o clock last night.
I have a good few ideas piled up, although quite rude they are.

I can't accept your application unless you provide an actual comic strip. Since comic strips are what you'll be doing on the paper, you'll need a comic strip example. If you can make one, post it when you can. If not, then I'll have to decline this.
Sharp
I understand.
I'll do it ASAP

Thank you, but do take your time. We want good artists, not sloppy ones. smile.gif

Mrcsupertrain, I'm wondering if we can show that guide to making comics that Dr Lento has on the hidden forums.

Hmm, I'm not sure. I can make a new topic and we can discuss. smile.gif

Rory I, how is the comic coming along?
Sharp
It's done. Let me upload it..
Forgive my bad colouring, all I have is the GIMP to colour it with.

It was hand drawn btw.
Topdog
It looks pretty good. smile.gif Although it isn't like Dr Lento's comics that the newspaper usually has, I think your work is newspaper quality.

Sidenote: This is little, but if you can, crop the edges of your comic.
Sharp
Crop the edges...? Do you mean get rid of the white parts at the sides?
Sorry, I amnt sure what you mean..
Prashanna
I really like your comic drawing style, the thing I am unsure about is the humour. box.gif

Yes, crop the white parts at the sides. closedeyes.gif
Sharp
@I am TD: Will do.
@Prashanna: I'm sorry sad.gif I tried to make the humour a tad more obvious, but it's hard to direct the comedy to one single panel when there is (five?) in it.. The main idea was that he cries out peace, but the Dutch haven't a clue what he's saying.

Sorry I'm so stupid xP
Dr LeNTo
I like the comic style, the difference to the comic norm is refreshing. I'd advise cutting down on the l337 speak. Sometimes trying to read that can be distracting from the point of the coimc, and doesn't allow the humor to show.

Apart from that, try using a black pen to outline the comics. A black fine liner is great to use for this. Blue outlining is a bit...odd smile.gif

Good stuff though
Adam?
I love the style, but the humor is seriously lacking.
Topdog
I really can't find any flaws with his humor. slanty.gif It is quite obvious and not subtle, that may be just it for you guys. I happened to chuckle myself. laugh.gif
MRC
The drawing is pretty good, and the humor is all right, but I think you can improve. smile.gif

Accepted.
Prashanna
Sorry about the last post, I realize that the thing that didn't allow me to understand the humour was the noob language. tongue.gif I like the last frame. xd.gif
Sharp
ohmy.gif Yayy! smile.gif
I honestly can't believe I got accepted.

Can you PM me with, like, what I'm supposed to do o_o'
Topdog
Rory, congratulations on making the Sal's Realm Newspaper Team! smile.gif And, I suppose I'll PM you [about what to do] considering that you are new to the team.
