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)

The goggles do nothing?

@  Misk : (22 July 2015 - 05:50 PM)

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!

[s:3hg47y8i]EDIT: Okay guys, submissions is going to be closed for THIS comic, but I'm doing another FUS comic where you can submit your characters.[/s:3hg47y8i]

EDIT: Nevermind. Truth be told, this is an FUS comic so FUSers should be put first. I took some time to think about it and I've decided that game characters just really don't embody the spirit of the forum (ok there's Sonic and Tails but thats about it here). So while there'll be game characters there'll be less and less as more people start filling in, but I don't see it as a bad thing. Understand though, not EVERYONE is going to get a main character role, so please don't be upset with what you get. :/

Hi there this is the new sprite comic topic. The other one got locked because there are some new rules that I need to add and I don't want people to say "Wait when was this rule added, I didn't agree to this I want my character out!" kinda thing going on.

To those who are new to the topic I'm making a sprite comic featuring FUS characters in it, as I was inspired by the concept of Croc putting FUS into his comic so that's where that came from. But before we get into the storyline and all that, read the rules first before you decide to join.


1) Once your character is in, you cannot say "I want them out!" it takes a great deal of time for me to think of a specific role for each character and to suddenly pull them out puts a great deal of stress on my part. Once you submit your character you are agreeing to let us use the character in the comic as long as neccessary.

2) Because there were too many people vying for the villain role (which I SHOULD'VE expected) it's caused me to create a new rule. When you submit your character give a description of the character's personality and physical features.

3) PLEASE no mary sue character designs. If you submit a Sonic or Knuckles or Tails recolor (or any recolor) understand it is subjected to change. And try thinking of original species for the characters (if I see 10 entries for hedgehogs or echidnas the individuals will be bludgeoned as a matter of fact I'm not sure if I wanna see ANY more hedgehogs or echidnas--lets be honest none of us are). I don't want to sound mean, but this is so you don't get laughed at by other forum members who might be incredibly harsh towards the design. And use your common sense folks. If 5 people or so have already submitted fox characters you MAY want to reconsider making your character a fox for orignality's sake.

4) And here's the most important rule of all. When you submit a character things are gonna work a little differently this time. All we want for your entry is a breif personality description and a picture of your character. Do NOT tell us whether or not you want the character to be a villain or hero this time. That will be decided by me based on how I think the character personality fits a certain role (hero, villain, or neutral). This is because too many people are vying for the same role and offer backstory that creates too many creative restrictions. Also do NOT give us details of your characters backstory or anything. The reason for this is that I can't give you a complete understanding of where the story is going without spoiling it and your backstory might not work well with this. So think of it as an alternate version of your character.


5) If you want me to do a character design I'd be happy to oblige.

6) No offensive images on your character designs please.

And now for the story! (if you were apart of the previous comic thread you don't need to read this).

The story begins during a futuristic era on in a city called Technopolis, a place where people live ordinary lives, protected by a league of video game superheroes who protect the city. The main characters are a group of kids who're tired of living their lives as ordinary citizens and want to become heroes like the video game characters they idolize. And so they start their own group of superheroes and do their own job of heroism. However, through a twist of events some real villains arrive and so the kids will have to (mainly) carry out the task of defeating them themselves.

Character: Exor (Not the sword...)

He's evil to the core. Has no sense of humor. "Serious business" incarnate. Driven by his vision and desire for order and nothing else, he will not let anything stand in his way. Like any overlord, he prefers to let his armies/minions do his dirty work for him. He is brilliant beyond compare, but is also quite single-minded. He has a low tolerance for what he deems to be lesser beings and avoids contact with them as much as possible.

I'm actually pretty surprised there are so many would-be villains showing up; most of the RP/Your Character Here threads I've seen draw members towards do-gooding heroism for some reason (and I myself didn't realize being a villain could be so fun until... later than some).

Anyways, Anaesthesia Stroganoff is at your service. Soft-spoken and unable to decide if she's shy or aloof, Anaesthesia (sometimes called Ana or Annie) is fond of smirking and spouting the occasional pithy one-liner. She has a low tolerance for stupidity and enjoys correcting grammar, wandering alone, and giving random objects nicknames. She's also prone to sleeping long hours, as she often finds reality a little too troublesome for its own good. While Anaesthesia doesn't get close to most people, she finds Professor Vengeance both fascinating and amusing (she's luckily unaware of his distaste for magic, as she's quite fond of using it in a world where hard technology reigns).

Thanks to this usual college business (one more week, HO SNAP), I only have a half-assed sketch with some labels for which things are what colors, but this should hopefully give you a good idea.



Apologies for the wonky anatomy that I noticed as I was scanning. If it needs to be simpler, feel free to simplify, but only if the vest, scarf, and pince-nez stay. :B

Since you already drew up Jade Starpower, I'll just give you her abilities/personality: She's fun loving, outgoing and can come across as a tomboy to some. She has a strong sense of justice, standing up for those who cannot help themselves, protecting the innocent and will fight for her friends till her last breath.

She has no abilities to speak of, other than she is an expert in hand to hand combat, and even more so with professional wrestling, of which she is obsessed.

Tic: If she has anything with sugar in it, it can send to send her into Gir like fits for a while. (If you've seen Invader Zim)

NAME: Professor Reginald Fortescue Vengeance
SPECIES: British. Oh, right. Human.
PREVIEW PIC:


As the name suggests, Professor Vengeance is a bit of a git. He is ambitious, uppity and has a rather high opinion of himself. While fairly intelligent, he doesn't cope well in times of crisis and prefers to run from a fist-fight. He is also a stickler for punctuality and prides himself on being witty. He also has a particular hatred of magical beings, a mixture of prejudice and jealously.
The Prof's most prized possession is a trick cane with a green gemstone atop. Akin to a Swiss army knife, a twist of the gem activates its hidden gadgets, such as a sword blade or helicoptor blades for getaways. If this seems excessive in any way, just leave the cane with the one trick.

She read it, she wasn't impressed.

Okay my submission...

Name : Valerie "Vigillante" Valens

Appearance : Simillar to the one I shown you, but giving you a free reign on what the outfit design would be like.

Physical attributes :

Vit : B
Str : C
Con : D
Wit : A
Agl : A

The summary of this is that Valerie is capable of taking a lot of punishment, not very strong but not weak by any definition, quite injury-prone when taking a hit, has lightning reflexes and is very agile.

She is capable of some supernatural feats, though purely physical in nature. These includes, the ability to sense the presense of an entity ( Clear at up to 10 metres in proximity, gets fuzzier and vague at further ranges ), double-jump, dash ( both on air and on the ground ) and aerial glide.

Her tools of the trade are a coil of rope for capture and entrapment, a pair of 18 inch Katars, that she uses for disabling her targets close range, twin MP7 submachine guns for mid range combat and a rapid-fire pulse rifle for long range combat. The edges of her katar are dulled but electrified to deliver a stunning shock. Her MP7s uses special 4.7 x 25 mm stunner rounds in a 20-round clip that can be replenished by a special techno-magical ammo replenisher that magically replicates a reloaded clip as soon as the spent clip is ejected. Her MP7s are rated for 900 rounds per minute each, has a maximum effective range of 50 metres and has a wide bullet spread on full auto. Her pulse rifle uses charge cartridges and is capable of holding up to 400 units of charge. Short controlled bursts with this rifle is capable of stunning the enemy, though continued discharge from the rifle can be lethal to the target. The rifle is effective for up to 4 miles and is capable of discharging up to 600 rounds per minute with minimal recoil.

Valerie, as the nickname would suggest, is a vigilante with her own strong sense of justice and has no qualms operating outside of the law if it means bringing down big seemingly-undisplaceable criminal empires. As such, she is often seen running from the law and former crime lords seeking vengeance, she is also a frequent jailbird. Such a chosen career path has its perks as she has earned the right to take any necessary supplies on the house as an act of gratitude for the citizens she had helped. It had also cost her the right to take up residence of any form in the city, she also doesn't have anything to her name except for what she can carry on her person. On top of that, since her career profession is so dangerous and she doesn't take too much precautions, she had gotten injured countless times. One particularly nasty incident had cost her her right arm and right wing which are replaced with biomechanical prosthetics powered by a gem implanted on her sternum. She sees it as a small setback though as helping people in need is form of self-fulfillment for her.

Aside from her chosen career path, she is a balance of introverted and extraverted ; While she can be socialble when she feels like it, sometimes she just wants time to herself to meditate and toy with her muses. She is also very open to experience and has no problem at all with trying new things out as long as it does not conflict with her moral principles. While she can come off as scatterbrained at times, she does have a mental aptitude for making connections between events and names, memorizing names, mathematics and language. (Although she chooses to stick with two, English and Français ) However, there are times when people do have issues with her, and it is for a legitimate reason. She has this belief that she is better than most around her, and that makes her come off as arrogant to quite a few. It is a product of the god-complex she has.

Oh and I almost forget to add, while she does come off as playfully flirty and is comfortable with dirty talk, she is chaste. She also has this quirk that she cant help but be infatuated with those she consider her friends, she is good at hiding that and downplaying it though.

That's not quite how I pictured Jade, but that's definitely a cute character design (I think the line work looks just fine). Are these characters going to have separate battle appropriate attire?

I'm looking forward to the rest of the drawings. Nice work.

I spoke with Jade on IRC and we came up with a different idea for the colors. I wanted to add some yellow but it just didn't give off the contrast I wanted. I needed there to be some green in there cause lets face it, her names Jade. I wanted to make it really colorful but I have a deal of limitations considering only so much will show up on a sprite in detail.

I might give them seperate attire but thats ways from now to make that decision anyway. At first I thought I'd showcase all the characters at once but thats a little idealistic consider the time it takes to touch up and color each image.

Also, this pic isn't the final colored version of this drawing, I did a little swapping with the colors (thanks Miko!). I was gonna upload the final one today but the internet connection's down on the computer with the scanner. If I can't get it to work by the end of today I'll just transfer the files onto a CD and we'll do it that way.
