This is a comic that I am making, I try to make 1 comic a week, sometimes I miss a week when I am too tired to do anything. This is loosely based on the original Erdrick trilogy, and it begins about 14 years after the events in Dragon Quest 2. I had to take a few liberties to make the comic understandable to everyone, and some of the characters are based on actual posters from another forum I go to. Also, you'll notice that I went from 8-bit to 16-bit after awhile; I did this cause I asked the poster who wanted to be in it to send me the sprites they wanted to have used ( most were altered by reshaping and/or recoloring, some wanted their sprites untouched ) and 90% of them were 16-bit, so hence the change. If you got any questions about the comic, ask away. Also, if anyone has the world map from the Dragon Quest remixes on the SNES, please send em this way, it will make things easier for me.

I'll post the up comming comics as they are made.

Colors are brash and confusing, text is too small and theres too much of it. I could only stand to look at two, read half of one and I quit. I see very little thought put behind execution and that's fully evidenced by the fact that your using an image hosting site instead of a webcomic one.

Try again.

Blatant spelling errors, eye watering art, and text that needs a magnifying glass to see.

For all of that, it's still better than anything I could produce.

The single biggest flaw that I see is sadly not one that cleaner graphics or larger text or a spellchecker will fix. The comic just isn't funny. I'm sorry to say that, because you have obviously put alot of time and effort into these, but the story is uncompelling and humorless.

I suck at making comics too. Well, I'm just saying that because I hardly even create things like that unless I have a really humorous joke and I bring it to life. I couldn't really pay too much attention to your comics. I can't stand seeing every random thrown over sprite in each panel any longer. Sorry, I just couldn't get into them too much, and you seriously need to just stick to one style of background because I keep seeing some RPGMaker 2000 tiles, then ones from a mario game (iirc). Try again.

Frankly, I'd read it if you put the images into the forum (there should be a way). I've made some pretty bad Sprite Comix myself (I personally think they get bad press. A lot of people CAN'T DRAW). A good sprite comic is good for a laugh (such as 8BT). There are a few others, such as Neglected Mario Characters (longest running Sprite Comic, although it lost its touch since the creator began persuing a real career).

If I had time, I'd make some sprite comics. -CSM
