any artist interested in collaborating on VG web comic?

i've idly been thinking about starting a VG web comic, but i can't draw. i might go the sprite route, but first i thought i'd just see if anyone happened to be interested. FYI, i'm more of a nintendo guy so would prob. focus the comics on those games. cheers.

I would be interested, except my drawing skills aren't so great either. I love drawing comics, however. I plan to take a drawing class this year, so if for some strange reason you can't find someone to draw for you for about a year, contact me.

Not to be rude, but if you really do want to make a video game webcomic [of which there are many, many others already], then at least watch this video to avoid some of the common pitfalls of doing so: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/ ... -Webcomics

[I am not mocking you; if you want to make a comic, then more power to you. Just be aware that in order to make a good webcomic, you have to do it consistently, do it well, and do it consistently well. Even better, do something notably different than what everyone else is doing.]

I love webcomics, and I'm looking forward to yours, if you decide to go through with it. Care to share a sample script?

haha. that video was pretty funny. i def. question the need to subject the internet to yet another video gaming web comic, but i don't think i'd be too much worse than the average. what i really want is a return of pixel pals (http://www.i-mockery.com/pixelpals/archive.php) but since that isn't going to happen any time soon i'm left to take matters into my own hands. ha.

on a more general note, what are the better VG web comics out there right now? i like http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/. http://awkwardzombie.com/ isn't bad either.

On that note, does anyone know if there are any retro themed game comics? I've been thinking of making one due to the total lack of any I could find.

I'd say Penny Arcade is the big one. VG Cats is okay, but I haven't read through all of it as it gets grating pretty early on. As I'm a Pokémon fan, I also read Pokémon-X, Rare Candy Treatment, and Super Effective. BitF, like you said, is a good one as well.

If you're into Pokémon, Pokémon-X is set entirely in Hoenn. Otherwise, I'd say your closest bet is SpaceBooger's strip.

i totally didn't know that super effective was running again. he went on a long hiatus with that, right?

[SpaceBooger]

Otherwise, I'd say your closest bet is SpaceBooger's strip.

Thanks for the plug! My comics are hit or miss... and many do revolve around retro games. If you have an idea for a SpaceBooger strip let me know I would love to have guest writers.
