Dej Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) Inspired by Olham's favourite fast food frnachise - SPAD-U-LIKE... My efforts so far... not sure what format any comic would eventually be in, which would dictate size and suchlike. Comments and advice much welcomed. Edited May 12, 2009 by Dej Quote
Burning Beard Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Now you're talkin'. I went as far as to play with the Corel line art filters, and download some cell from Enemy Ace but that is as far as I got.....I like the imitation of the Comic book pages, with the cut outs, Corel would excel at this. Now I need to do some screen captures from the Blue Max, Hells Angels, etc........ MUHAHAHAHAHHAHA. Beard Quote
Hauksbee Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 ...especially like the layout on the bottom two pages. [a little tough to read.] Quote
Rooster89 Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Wow Dej. Very good. Totally blows my work in progress comic out of the water! BurningBeard, Enemy Ace is the greatest. Its the only comic book I ever found that I could actually get into. -Rooster Quote
rabu Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Excellent, doesn't even look that much like a pshoped project. Quote

UK_Widowmaker Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Wicked!.... or 'Howay Man, that's reet good' as we say in these parts! Quote
Dej Posted May 12, 2009 Author Posted May 12, 2009 Cheers All. I'll put together the rest of it sometime soon. Quote
RAF_Louvert Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 SWEET! Can't wait to see the completed work Dej. Cheers! Lou Quote
zoomzoom Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Outstanding...seriously. If we can get enough of these and compile the best, you could seriously get it published. It would be a first....a comic pulled directly from a video game, not just inspired by it! Could also give OFF a good plug too, and free advertisement. Just a thought. ZZ. Quote
griphos Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 This is pretty damned impressive! And I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for ...continued.... Quote
Red-Dog Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 That's fantastic Dej. Thats what i wanted mine to look like,keep up the good work and we should be able to have some good reading by the end of it. Quote
+Polovski Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Super stuff Dej more please ! :) Well done to the other cartoon making guys here for the inspiration too I'd say. Quote
Dej Posted May 12, 2009 Author Posted May 12, 2009 Well done to the other cartoon making guys here for the inspiration too I'd say. Absolutely! All kudos goes to Red-Dog for the original idea. And credit to all the original posters of the screenshots I've nicked, you'll be named in the final version I was just experimenting atm. Now, if Red-Dog's idea works as intended, there'll be several contributors each with a different story. I had an idea it'd be a good feature to include a true story too each month (or arbitrary time period), re-enacted in BHaH. I was going to have a go at Hawker vs. Richthofen when I'd finished the above... over-ambitious as usual. I also think it would be good to have a standard page size. I'd appreciate any suggestions as to what that should be from the more experienced webcomic readers or creators, as this is the first one I've ever done. Quote
Red-Dog Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Dej, i couldn't get the ones i did to upload it said file to big.What format are yours done in? Quote
Dej Posted May 12, 2009 Author Posted May 12, 2009 Dej, i couldn't get the ones i did to upload it said file to big.What format are yours done in? The originals are layered Photoshop files and they are quite large, e.g. the last page I posted is over 12 MB as a .PSD, but exported to .JPG format with the Photoshop export quality setting at High it shrinks to 361KB. I think membership rating may change upload limits too... I can't remember what it said when I paid my sub., I'm afraid. Quote
Olham Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Vott is happenink here? All zis posted on zee one day off I had from chewink der SPADs, ant spittink zem out again? Zatt looks like my Albatros, absolutely! Am I ze bad guy or ze good, in ziss fascinatink shtory? Ant vott about my Mechaniker - Brettschneider and zee ozzers are sittink near der Post room all ze time, vaitink for ze continuashion...? When vill it come? I vant to see, if I get zee confirmashions of der Claims - or even der "Blaue Max" ? If you need more pictures, I vill get some tomorrow!! Quote
Olham Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 ...and, yes - very well done; Comic-layout and choice of pics and type style; plus RedDog's idea for the right transformation/filter effect. I may also try one or two pages in that style within the coming days. Quote
Hauksbee Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 I also think it would be good to have a standard page size. 7"x10" is traditional, since the original comics were printed on Newspaper presses. It's your basic Tabloid sheet folded one more time. Still...this is the 'net and we're not constrained by either tradition or standard magazine display racks. Quote
