Return of the Slitheen!

Postby The Professor » Mon May 30, 2011 11:01 am

This was my first ever comic, and well, the plot is certainly lacking, but I'm proud of the way it turned out.

It's a bit short, but what do you think?

EDIT: Sorry it came out so big, but I've no idea how to resize it!

Good comic and the ending made me smile. Just a few tips though:
1. It was a little stretched, but not sure what you can do about that.
2. The way it was put up meant it was a little hard to follow at times.
3. Sometimes you can see the squiggly lines underneath some words (I assume you printscreened, but it might be easier to copy into paint).

I may sound like I'm nagging but you only need to improve on a few things and you'll go from good to great! And it's your first comic! My first comic wasn't nearly as good as that!

Thanks for that. I agree about the size, but have absoloutely no idea how to change that. The way I printscreened (as that is indeed what I did) meant that I copied two pages of the word documents (as I did it in word) as a picture in each. Thanks for the kind words about the ending.
Oh, and I don't really think it sounded like nagging. I made this in summer '10, but only after I'd read many excellent comics - most on this very site.

Maybe next time you could do it in PowerPoint, like I do. I think I've got a tutorial in the FAQs thread.

Yeah, I've seen the tutorial, it was very useful. When I made the comics, I wasn't part of the forum, and they were in word so I could print them more easily. The other few I've done are also in Word, I'm halfway through one in word so I'll finish that then move to powerpoint. Probably.

It was nice not to have a story that was about another mindless predator. :)DT

Quite a detailed plot for a first comic! :D

You've definitely got the basics right, and there's some nice pictures, if some are stretched. It has come out a little small yes, and the second page with all the arrows is a bit hard to get your head round!

Aww, thanks guys. The bit about the arrows is a bit weird - oh and there was no storyline! :lol: I made it up as I went along, with the story coming either whilst I shot or whilst I edited it. The whole thing was based upon a 'Scooby Doo' style chase scene!

EDIT: At the time, I made a TARDISODE for the episode, so here it is.
