The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I'm trying to start a webcomic based on the movies we all know and love. I've created 5 strips so far this week and im looking for input on whether I should continue... Sorry about them being on deviantart I havent had the chance to build a website around them yet. I plan on making 2-3 comics a week. I just would like some input...
Yes, hello.
May I interest you in our rules thread?
I took a quick look and the art looks promising (the jokes- not so much) so as long as you appease the angry mob by following its rules, I'm sure you'll get valuable tips.
I think the content is pretty funny, such as the droid ring / onion ring comparison and how silly the trial by stone is.
However, your dialogue could use work. A few areas needed better punctuation, and you should avoid using the same words back-to-back, such as in the Vader comic when he says "Well, blah blah" and the psychiatrist responds with "Well, blah blah". Try to cut back on words like 'well', 'oh', 'yeah', when starting sentences. They can definitely be useful, but don't really need to be there most of the time.
Also, you've committed the most blasphemous act imaginable by using "your" instead of "you're" in the jawa comic. Fix it before the angry mob burns your house down.
I like the idea of making the comic itself look like a film strip - but somehow in practice the top and bottom borders of your strip look really ugly to me. Maybe try giving the holes rounded corners like real film stock, or just not making the background white.
Or this could just be my eyes fucking with me. For the record, I tend to set my browser's default background to grey instead of white (which messes up pages made my lazy web designers...) and prefer not to use ClearType for on-screen fonts (I'm on a mac, so that shit is on by default) because I can see little flashes of colour dancing between the letters while I try to read them...
Went to your DA page to read one. I ended up reading all of them. i really enjoyed them. The only problem i had was with the lack of definition that the storm troopers had. i think adding some dark lines around the edges would really help. but art is good and i enjoyed the material.
If you improved on the art I would read it every day, and if you practiced on making the jokes more...uhh, I don't know..."poppy". I like the actual jokes, but they aren't written in a way that makes them incredibly enjoyable.
Also, deviant art is lame.

Head over to the rules thread to get the formal explanation for this.
Personally, I found the comics surprisingly funny.
The art isn't terrible and that helps a lot.
Keep at it!
