Hm, there could be a certain value in the original strips, I guess. Well, strip 56 anyway.

enchilado 12-16-2009 05:55 PM

Good! Funny! Anything to make you keep doing these :D

the sketchy uninked version and the final version of a drawing always differ from each other *shrugs*

personally I like sketches and unfinnished drawings a lot in general because they have a certain soemthing that the final drawing always looses ... but I think for a comic it is better that the strips are inked in because it looks much clearer and more... (I dunno the english word maybe) ...coherent.



anyways great strip ! :lol:

& Dansens expression is still epic!

Splat 12-17-2009 09:32 AM

Store in a cool, dry place. This guy'll be right at home.

enchilado 12-17-2009 02:46 PM

I made an Oddworld comic strip. I need to get my scanner working... and I was making another but, how the DEVIL do you draw sleeping Sligs?

Anyway... Dripik! When ya goin' to give us another strip, mate?

dripik 12-22-2009 09:16 AM

Sleeping Sligs? Have a screenshot or a relevant picture in front of you, and start drawing it. If you fail at first, repeat. That's all there is to it.

Patience, it takes some time to do these. Especially when you colour them! Surprise! Christmas Special, if you will, except that it's not an exclusive feature. I think I'll colour them from now on.

scipionyx 12-22-2009 09:44 AM

again these beautiful colours!!! +rep! :D your comic really evolves thehehehe from pencil sketches to inked in drawings and now they are even coloured... lets see what comes next! xD 8D

@ enchilado: LoL this is probably the smallest picture of a sleeping Slig eva!!!!! (but probably it helps?) http://www.oddworld.com/firsttenyear...ts/img_top.gif

Fingers crossed for 3D glasses!

Nice strip, and it does look good coloured. Interesting choice that your first coloured strip doesn't show the aliens :p
Have your secrets, then! Pah!

enchilado 12-22-2009 02:44 PM

Aha! Brilliant!

And Scippy, that's a perfect picture - heh, I never thought it might be on the Oddworld site.

Well, I don't know when I'll be able to scan them, but I've got a few Oddworld pictures to upload.

Good strip Drippy! I hope you do the aliens in colour :(

dripik 12-28-2009 07:32 AM

I can't promise that the animated series are coming any time soon...

Until then, strip 58. If you think something is funny about Pete, check strip 35. And he's already stirring dangerous waters...

scipionyx 12-28-2009 08:08 AM

LoL sometimes the truth is harder to believe than any lie :lol:

Actually, she asked me before she coloured those pictures with the aliens. I suggested the grey-scale colours, but the rest is done according to her work.

Yeah, I tried to give those wooden planks a bit of texture. I like the result too.

scipionyx 12-28-2009 08:52 AM

well then you have chosen the best colours :D... I like that they are grey <3 -makes them more alien somehow ^^

Splat 12-28-2009 01:55 PM

Yeah, if they'd been brightly coloured it would've been a bit too 'toy-out-of-cereal-packet'.

I love how the President is smiling, all 'three more minutes and this will no longer be my problem!'

Shame no one thought to tell the victi- uh, chosen participant about what he had been chosen for.

dripik 01-10-2010 03:43 AM

True. Now they are like 'toys-out-of-cereal-packet-that-you-have-to-colour-yourself'.

Confused Pete is confused. And creeped out by things the government knows about him.

Josh 01-10-2010 11:07 AM

Dripik, this is great! Is them some kind of reguler update or is it updated whenever?

scipionyx 01-10-2010 11:22 AM

aww hahahahaha xD gotta luv that last picture xD ...lets see how this will continue :p

Splat 01-10-2010 02:11 PM

I love how the alien's just like... totally disinterested. You can imagine him watching a fly or something, totally unaware of what's going on.

Thanks! Can't say it's updated regularly, due to university work. I try not to forget about the comic though.

You can never tell what an alien could be thinking, Splat. He might be bored, or he might be fascinated. I guess that's the flaw of using aliens with limited facial expressions in a comic...

Strip 60...

scipionyx 02-20-2010 04:25 AM

oh my ... the third one is absolutely awesome :lol: hahaha I can't wait for the next strip!!! :D:D:D

Splat 02-23-2010 02:49 AM

Ah, so Phil's not out of the picture yet. I guess he fits into the classic sitcom layout.

dripik 03-20-2010 11:39 AM

Ladies and gentlemen, strip 61.

Discuss:Is the price low, acceptable or high?

enchilado 03-20-2010 03:19 PM

Good strip! I'd say that it's a low price, I probably wouldn't do it for less than $200 a week, and I wouldn't say the figure was high - seeing as it is an alien - until it reached about $10,000.

Splat 03-20-2010 04:30 PM

This is an alien; he could have gotten away with asking for loads more!

enchilado 03-20-2010 06:40 PM

Actually, scrap what I said in my last post. I would do it for free, but I'd ask for $100,000 a week.

scipionyx 03-21-2010 10:17 AM

I'm sure Phil will pay enough money to be able to see the alien and talk with it hahahaha :p but still 50/week is lousy! :p

dripik 06-03-2010 12:22 PM

Big delay, but here it is. Strip 62. Hospitable Pete is hospitable.

scipionyx 06-03-2010 12:37 PM

8D lol no manual this is a chance for Phil to get involved somehow ... maybe xD

Splat 06-03-2010 12:45 PM

I don't see this cohabitation going well.

dripik 06-04-2010 03:32 AM

True, but think of a dorm where people get along well. Not too exciting, is it?

I put in some effort and made a new strip today. Enjoy.
