Also I still have to figure out how to set up our e-mail accounts on the new host.
@  furrykef : (24 July 2015 - 08:19 AM)

As soon as I figure out how to restore it. Sorry, I know I said it'd be done by now, but I didn't expect to have to put up with this DNS crap and other issues that popped up.
@  Uncle Ben : (24 July 2015 - 07:56 AM)

So when's the black theme coming back??
@  Uncle Ben : (24 July 2015 - 07:56 AM)

"Should"
@  furrykef : (24 July 2015 - 07:27 AM)

That DNS took longer to propagate properly than I thought it would. *Now* we should be back for good, though.
@  furrykef : (23 July 2015 - 08:48 PM)

Or it might be because Bluehost *finally* got around to that server wipe (one week after we'd asked for it) and that wiped out our DNS settings. I'm not sure which and I don't really care. In any case, we've severed our last ties with Bluehost, so this will not happen again.
@  furrykef : (23 July 2015 - 08:08 PM)

Looks like Bluehost yanked our DNS since our hosting account expired. That's why the site went down a while ago. But as you can see, it's fixed now.
@  Misk : (23 July 2015 - 04:55 PM)

No, they do not.
@  furrykef : (23 July 2015 - 04:27 AM)

My eyes.
@  furrykef : (22 July 2015 - 12:24 PM)

Looks like forum uploads might have been broken since last night. That should be fixed now too.
@  furrykef : (22 July 2015 - 01:33 AM)

Heh, whoops! Server went down for a few mins when I borked the config. Looks like it's back up now.
@  Uncle Ben : (21 July 2015 - 09:09 PM)

It looked like a napkin
@  ILOVEVHS : (21 July 2015 - 09:04 PM)

Fan-fuckin-tastic.
@  furrykef : (21 July 2015 - 08:25 PM)

As for the beaver picture while the forum was down, I think Tim drew it. On a napkin.
@  furrykef : (21 July 2015 - 08:24 PM)

No kiddin' about that "Finally!", Shadow. I am *so mad* at Bluehost for never responding to our support ticket. I submitted it early Friday morning and they *still* haven't answered it!
@  Uncle Ben : (21 July 2015 - 06:37 PM)

Maybe he did that himself
@  Shadow : (21 July 2015 - 05:25 PM)

Say, who made the cute picture of Beaver Chief?
@  Shadow : (21 July 2015 - 05:24 PM)

Finally!
@  RedMenace : (21 July 2015 - 05:02 PM)

Woooo! The site's back up! Three cheers for Kef!

I think Archie Comics decided the style was a little to mature for the intended audiance and that is why Conor Thomas didn't continue. I mean most characters were well put together but not really wearing anything.

Bullshit. They just wanted someone who can draw quick and shell out a quick buck.


I agree with Shadow. Its a shame Archie is settling for such mediocre illustrations.

BTW, there's something I've been meaning to ask. The font I used in this short is called WildWords and it's one I've encouraged Salamander to use for the main comic because it has an authentic all-caps look. Which do you prefer, this font or Salamander's?

You did? I can't remember. I'm using Komika text BTW. As long as it's readable and not Comic Sans it's all good to me. I can change it if people like the other font better.

There's no doubt Comic Sans MS is one of the most overexploited fonts in fan comics. Ironically, I do still use it for Rotor's *huff* and various other non-words in the comic. tongue.gif

Interesting look for Evil Robot Bunnie (ERB from now on), particularly that both her ears are pointed downward and that she has fangs. I wonder, Glitcher, if you designed this ERB to look like what you think a fully-roboticized Bunnie would look like, or if you designed it to be different in order to put the E in ERB?

Those ears really do give it quite the attitude. She just look absolutely 100% evil. And I know a few people have said you go overboard on your lighting (and that may be true on a few panels) but the lighting on that last panel is absolutely fantastic!!!

Heh, Bunnie's evil twin is officially called "Rabbot" on the script, but you can call her Evil Robot Bunnie or Not-So-Nice Bunnie or Bad to the Bunny for all I care. tongue.gif

To answer your question, this is what I believe a fully roboticized Bunnie would look like. Bunnie's lopsided ears appear a bit non-threatening, hence the change. I'm not really keen on Robians looking just like Mobians with metal plates, such as robot Sally in Sonic #29, so I wanted to give Rabbot a bit more Cyclon look like in the show. However, I still found Rabbot very awkward to design because every time I tried to innovate, she looked less like Bunnie and less like Robians in general. I kept the limbs similar to Bunnie's concentrated on the head.

Diffuse Glow is your friend. smile.gif This page was a pain in the ass to colour and I still think more care could have been applied to the drawings and layout. But the last panel was so frustrating to colour that I just decided to take the money and ru--... Uh, did I say that out loud?

I'll stick with ERB, thanks. ^^

Truthfully, I rather liked Sally's roboticized-look in #29, though I do think her colors should have been significantly more muted; then again, when a similar design showed up later in #51 under the manic pencils of Sam Maxwell, it looked like utter shit, so this was probably a good call on your part. SatAM's pretty inconsistent when it comes to the kind of change Roboticization causes in its victims, too; for every "Cylon"-looking one, we've got an Uncle Chuck:


where the change between normal and roboticized is significantly less dramatic. All things told, I think you struck just the right balance here, so good on ya. ^^

Fair enough. X3

Also, it finally hit me what's struck me as odd about ERB's look: with both ears downturned and what look to be enlarged eyebrows, she actually looks a bit like a robot version of Lopunny from Pokemon! xD.png
