The Energon Pub

I decided to make a photocomic. It stars Revoltech Dante, as he copes with being a toy, and interacts with his plastic and diecast pals.

Getting the toys in the right position, that was the hard part.

Getting the camera in the right place, that was also the hard part.

Comments and critisisms are appreciated!

Its....quaint.


I would recomend uping the resoultion on ur camera (or borrowing one with more megapixles) as it is kinda grainy.

Also, and this is purely personal-i would try more rounded speach bubbles-i think the right angels are kind of jaring

It's a cheap $20 thing. We're poor.

And I could up the resolution, but it would make the filesize huge. It's already barely enough to upload.

I used to do that in my ealier comics. But it was too difficult and I found rectangle bubbles way easier.

EDIT: The camera is set to Low Resolution, High Definition. The size is easier to manage, and the picture is as clear as I can get it. It's just a poopy camera.

Not bad, not bad... I agree on the rounder speechbubbles point, though... other than that, it'll be interesting to see where this might take off to.

I'll try rounder speech bubbles, buit I don't know if it'll work out right. (I use Micrsoft Paint)

And here's episode 2, for your viewing peasure.

getting better.. and as for the rounder speech bubbles, just use the "rounded rectangle" tool in paint... still a good amount of space to work with, only nicer looking edges...

That's actually how I used to do it. I found I don't have any limitations when I only use the Text tool with opaque background.

if u want better pics, why not post the final piece on photobucket or putfile and link to it rather than sacrafice detail?

Its kinda toy storyish-i always wondered what that'd be like with my toys, and now i know-and knowing is half the battle

I actually plan to mention that.

Dante: I'm a toy?
Dave: Yes.
Dante: Like...Toy Story?
Dave: I really wish the new guys would stop making that reference.
