About Me

Yep, I'm the Akuma the Hedgehog, the real one. Thanks to the Fallout Shelter deleting my old Comic Topic, it gave me an excuse to have a new archive somewhere and also to finally have an account on Smackjeeves. So I'll be checking around for new comics that I will like.

I believe this is more of a healthy debate then an argument.

I like Fefnir. He's my kind of guy.

"A teacher must never impose this student to fit his favourite pattern; a good teacher functions as a pointer, exposing his student's vulnerability (and) causing him to explore both internally and finally integrating himself with his being. Martial art should not be passed out indiscriminately." ~ Bruce Lee

What I noticed in the original numbering and I believe that continues to this day, why is the clone numbered before the original?

I think Gatemaster was drunk, that made sense.

I have said "us" because people have asked me for advice.

As for the tutorials I point them towards:
-There is various comic tutorials ranging from basic MSPaint to Photoshop. (have to google search each time)
-Rules of Sprite Comics from Crash and Bass and from Neko's House to help them avoid cliches and bad decisions.
-There is the Resize tutorial from RyanMC to avoid people from putting badly resized MMX sprites with MM7.
-And basic sprite editing tutorials because I don't expect them to be able to scratch from the start. Most come from the MFS.

And when they ask me for advice on storylines or character creation, I try my best to give them something original and make sure they avoid making something cliche and over powered.

It's not in favor of people doing a bad job. It's the idea that it's possible to never see another bad job is possible I'm against.

For every one person you can convert, about 10 more will replace that guy. And among those 10, 8 of them would either quit or start all over.

That's why I like the idea of them coming to us. You can see their desire to improve. And when people ask me, I try to point them to places where they can get better advice.

If everything is good, nothing will be great. Eventually it'll get dull and forgotten. That's why super powers are considered super. If everyone is extraordinary, no one will.

It does work if you look at it through creationism's eyes. Or if you look at it like a plant being grown.

But my point still stands by the idea of it's use because they didn't have an open mind.

That's how the world works. If every comic book hero was like Batman, then everything will be dull. If everyone draws like Picasso, then artistic movement would be at a standstill.

Evolution has to be done naturally. Given time and careful watch, eventually you'll grow something good. Too much nurturing and it will never grow. Too much force and it'll die out.

And nice analogy of book burning, too bad they're usually used against good books that people didn't have an open mind to accept.

"It's ruining the hobby for the people who don't want to wade through seas of shit in order to find anything good. "

That's the only way something that is a shining example can be a shining example. If everything was good, then more would be overlooked. Would Kid Radd be as noticable if other comics had that similar style but with higher pixilation? Is the story for a Modest Destiny enough to keep it afloat if there were a million others in with their own spriting style?

It's like Newgrounds, you have to go through millions of terrible flashes in order to find something that truly stands out. And as their Treasure Hunt events go, depending on only the front page will make you miss a lot.

Kid Radd. A Modest Destiny. They're the things others should try to reach to is because not many can reach that point. Gold isn't valuable if anyone can get it.
