Lack of spikes on placeholder spikeless blobs of dewm, but no lack of lorks near clorfs to produce them spikes it seems.

I love it and am with Cory on this on, we require one every 24 hours from now on :P

Gorge builds hydra, happyface.

Marines come blow hydra up, sadface.

Gorge sticks hydra up with spit, glues cysts on it, then crushes a passing lerk to shoot spikes onto it, thus creating a new hydra.

Honestly the comic makes me want a drop-bear style attack for the gorge where you can kill marines by landing on them with your bum.

That is AWESOME. Really really awesome. Keep it up.

haha, good job

How did lil gorgie get up high enough on the cliffs to cannon ball into ol' Lerkie?

Awesome comic, you should definitively made more in the future.

ScardyBob · July 2011

When I got to the gorge crushing the lerk, I couldn't help but think 'GORGE POWER SLAM!!!!'.

Awesome job!

kyliegirl · July 2011

thanks everyone for the comments :) it was fun to draw but I honestly don't think I could do these daily :P this one took a little over 2 days.. Mostly because I kept re-doing the backgrounds and also I wanted to do more detail in it than just simple shading to challenge myself. :)

I don't think I could think up of a new fun comic story everyday. But if I do end up thinking of some I will be sure to draw them :) For now I think I will stick to doing just single pictures for a bit lol :) I really want to do some more ns art, just been so busy practicing that I haven't had the opportunity to complete anything.

pSyk0mAn · July 2011

Haha, this is great. I didn't get it at first though aswell :/

MacGyver Gorge is imba!

Norton · July 2011

great style ^_^

Obraxis · July 2011

Very well done, but took me 3 reads to get what was happening. I think it's the shot of the lerk and the TINY silhouette of the gorge at the top. U'd be better off having a closeup establishing shot, then going to that one or change that shot a bit more so it's clear there is a gorge there.

Good job, and very well painted :)

kyliegirl · July 2011

Thanks obraxis, the original storyboard scribbles had a few extra frames with just what you explained, but I ended up removing them to keep the comic short and thought it might not need explaining. Originally there was an additional frame of the gorge overlooking the entire area from the top and then it moved to the frame of the lerk flying across and the gorges silhouette.

if it helps the original roughs can be viewed <a href="http://www.kylielangton.com.au/wordpress/wp-content/gallery/wips/comicwip.jpg" target="_blank">here</a>

PhYzor · July 2011

nice :)

RobB · July 2011

it'd be far easier to understand if the gorge'd be magnified. I simply didn't see the lil piggy on my first "read".

Feha · July 2011

Really like it.

How about some comic about gorggles? He is such a cute little hoarder ;)
If you dont know who he is, check out the vids about modelling in one of the recent blog posts.

Crispy · July 2011

I got that the gorge fell on the Lerk (2nd read) but I didn't really see the spikes coming out of the Lerk.

The action lines are too subtle I think. Your eye always goes to the middle of an image first (same way they go to the middle of a person's face because their eyes are where the expression is). So you look at the middle and you see the Gorge hitting the Lerk, but- because the actions lines are too subtle (making some of the spikes look like random debris), your eyes aren't drawn from the Lerk to the Hydra and the connection between the two events isn't made.

I like the style, though.

kyliegirl · July 2011

thank you crispy for the crits, I really do appreciate it :) I can see what you mean and as others have pointed out, it may have been better if I had added some additional frames to give a better flow of the storyline.

Unfortunately I do not think I will go back to this one and add more frames as of yet as I really do need to get back to doing my practicing and improving. This was a nice break from studying art and while I have seen some visible improvements in my art after doing this, I still have a long way to go before I feel I am at a level that I can create a decent portfolio.

When I have the time to sit back and muck about I will try to go back on this and add some more frames and maybe show a bit more emphasis in areas (as you said the spikes, I think a visible outline similar to the focus characters would address this issue)

SN.Wolf · July 2011

I see a possible candidate for a concept artist for a Special alien to counter the exclusive black armor.

Beautiful Display of shading and color, Thanks for sharing. The cannon ball on the lerk cracked me up!!

ASnogarD · July 2011

Very nice comic , was a nice laugh thank you.

If you want some source of inspiration for future comics , why not have a look at the tracker and see if any idea come up when reading what the devs are working on...

for example I am sure it would be easy to think of some funny stuff regarding the work on pathing the last patch was big on.
MAC's , Drifters , ARC's , whips... issues with pathing... comedy ?

Of course dont feel any pressure to make any, if you feel you NEED to make a comic then its a chore and if its not fun, its not worth it... in my humble opinion :p

Shilorius · July 2011

I didn't get it at first but..

This is sooo cute <img src="http://english-coffee.com/images/smilies/SMILE2/kaos-animal-cat-smiley-6111.gif" border="0" class="linked-image" />

PsiWarp · July 2011

You are my hero (or heroine?) :D!!!

Poor Lerk never knew what hit him...

peregrinus · July 2011

I got it eventually.
:D

You just needed to make it more clear that the gorge was trying to do a home made hydra, and he deliberately fell on the lerk.

PersianImm0rtal · July 2011

Wow, that was really a good laugh, I loved it. Make more now!

Dusk · July 2011

Too funny
