View Full Version : What would you look like in an HL2.net comic?


Sulkdodds

Why? Because I'm just writing a short 5-page or so comic (imagine HL2.net as a city...and then it goes to war)...and I'd like any of you who can actually draw at all (as in, better than stick figures) then show me what you want to look like or I'll draw you as a fat spotty nerd with glasses. Or your avatar. :D

Whoa....a war?

Count me in! LET THE FLAMING BEGIN!!!

p.s. Use the guy in the bottom right of this picture then..the one with the gun...really easy to draw..

Lol, fair enough. It's based on the Prophecy of the message boards, as in, a plague of zombie-like spammers invades. Hmm...how shall I make you die?

Here is what I want to look like.. (Like my avatar)

(I just drew this really quick, right when I saw this thread.)
His name is Jym, (thought him up about a year ago) but he shall represent me!

Hmm, the hands should be a bit bigger. (Look at avatar)

Wow Fenric, almost 10,000 posts!!! :O

Hey, I was gonna make HL2.net into a comic series a while back, but I never got around to it. People probably would have taken it too seriously.

Good luck to you, if you need any advice or help, you can give me a call. :P

Oh, and if you want to know what I would look like- you can draw me as Agent Smith, since that was my former name ;)

Sulkdodds
07-11-2004, 03:00 PM
Fair enough. I've already got Pendragon's flaming Smith so you can be another, non-flaming, one.

It's not exactly a comic series more a one-off comic, probably about 8 pages long.

Oh and Elf, you mind looking like that pic Icarus drew of you with the long hair and scary eyes?

Tr0n
07-11-2004, 05:06 PM
Well I can't wait to see the comic....I still feel weird for sending you my pics.

Sui
08-11-2004, 03:23 AM
I want to be a giant ostrich with a humongous purple cowboy hat on, woth spagetti coming out of my eyes and glowing feet. i will have a trampoline strapped to my back and a knife peircing my left arm.

either that or just draw a guy with a T-shirt that says "42" :)

Relativly Short dude with ginger hair .... posbily wearing a martial art ghie! :p




Sounds like a nice idea btw. :)

Sulkdodds
08-11-2004, 07:12 PM
I still feel weird for sending you my pics.

Why? All I'm going to do is draw them and stick you in the comic.

By the way, just for future reference this will be drawn on paper, with a pencil. Don't expect it to be utterly amazing. Just warning you. :D

Well, I don't post enough to be usable in such a comic, but if you need a filler character, represent me in a dark grey suit, a maroon tie, a side parting, and a rather angry face.

-Angry Lawyer

Okay. Consider yourself an anonymous forumgoer with a keyboard in the 'omg, zombies, oh noes' scene.

Lol, I already drew you as a random guy with a USCommie flag, Sh33p. I'll redraw you as a random sheep with a USCommie cape then?

And largenakker: okay, but I warn you someone will end up shooting you. With a keyboard.

Also: a more pressing question. Who wants to go on a secret mission into the General Forums on which they might never return from? Already got Suicide 42 and Tr0n for their contributions. And Cpt.Stern if he doesn't mind, because I think his chin is funny and he looks like a superhero or something.

Funnily enough you're already in as your avatar, sitting next to The Thing in a deserted street (you two are some of the first to get back after everyone dispears for a week playing HL2) and he says "was it good for you too?" and you nod sagely.

Sheep: Don't worry, I like you better as an actual sheep. Adds more colour.

Everybody else who has posted, you're going in. :D

Lol, like I said already, you look like that picture Icarus did of you with the face generator or whatever. And you're wearing a shirt with 'insert brand here' written on it. Of course I can always change it... ;)

EDIT: Oh yes, hopefully me and Suicide will eventually make a flash animation of this. Therefore he is currently doing a comic of the trailer of the movie of the comic. Yeah I told him it was crazy too.

A word the on the comic itself: do you think it would look better inked or simply photocopied darker. The second method sounds odd but I have used it before, if anyone remembers Quentin the robot I photocopied that before I scanned it in and it looks great.

I should do proper pics of people, those would be interesting heh.

Here's a few clippings of the comic. I'm afraid it looks bad because I haven't inked it yet but here they are:

LAYP
13-11-2004, 06:24 PM
Hmm, exciting as it sounds. How about a random guy with LAYP written on it. I would really like that, because I plan to change my avatar soon.

Try this site, I haven't used it before but it might just work. http://upl.silentwhisper.net/ it allows 4 mb.

edit: sorry it only allows 1,024.00 kB

Only make it a pink mask. Oh wait, the comics B&W. Pretend its pink.
