I was thinking the same thing. I can't wait to see all the different cameos.

Don't worry Daemon, we're all thinking it.
i personally am looking forward to the massive multininja battles. Fe vs Purps in particular

It's nice to see a lot of the regulars are supporting old Iron Ninja. I remember back in the day, a few months ago, Iron Ninja was one of the first personalities I became dimly aware of on the forum.

It helped of course that he completely derailed my Samurai vs. Knight thread with his bloody, admittedly funny, drawings. I think the thread got locked after you paint murdered root_of_all_evil.

Ah yes, here we go:



Is that Gerald's brother? Accomplice? Wife?

Split personality which manifested into a physical being of its own.

I actually think the Dragon is my cameo. You know, with the dragon avatar and all. I mean, I've never fought against Iron Ninja (to my knowledge) and even if I did fight against him I would probably just get bored, hand him over some gold and go to sleep. It would hardly be something worth yarning over.

I would like a cameo, I'm not going to lie but I don't want Iron Ninja to force me in. If I don't fit I don't want to be in. I want a cameo if it would work and if Iron wants me in the comic, I don't want for him to try and force my character into a comic where it wouldn't work.

EDIT: I don't think showing The_Root_of_All_Evil being eaten by Gerald an Co. a very nice thing to post. One might even call it harrasment.

Damn I always miss the obvious ones.

I'm sure it was all in good humour, which is exactly what people say just before they get a crab to tear someone's head off.

Am I the only who heard several different versions of Rob Moran in my head while reading those panels?

*chirping*

Damn. I knew that was a bad sign.

Well, in spite of the extreme contrast in art type and story between the two, I want to see where this is going.

Well once again I have managed to sleep through the vast majority of the comments so far, so bear with me as I back track and attempt to answer most of them.

I KILL YOU! bookmarked!
I have to admit, I was a bit shocked, then I remembered the thing I said about death threats.

Everyone that said something along the lines of Well done said:
(something along the lines of "well done!")
Why thankyou.
Amnestic said:
I admit, you didn't get much lol'ing from me on this occasion, but I did have a smile plastered on my face throughout and that's jolly more than I can say for most webcomics these days. As for criticsms/friendly advice: Work on the text size. I feel you've not yet found a happy medium of good font and good size, so that still needs work.
I don't want to force myself to put jokes in every four panels, and it was never my intention to end the comic with a punchline (after all, 27 panels would have been an awfully long set up), the 2nd comic is designed as more of a story than a joke, although I will try and fit some humour in there.
As for the font size, you're correct, it doesn't really fit right, so that's something to work on I guess.

jim_doki said:

It's actually not, I just decided to have a little dude sitting in the back of the cart, and the first name I came up for him was Jim Lad, I don't know why.
It was my plan to have a cast of characters building up that travel with the Iron Ninja, and after a while I could follow them individually (as I can already tell I'm going to get tired of drawing the Iron Ninja over and over).
It was my intention to have Jim Doki as one of those characters.

I thought about making you be the dragon, and I still haven't decided, if you are, I will probably do a proper backstory going over the battle in full, since all the other cameos I have planned will be longer than one panel, so it would be unfair of me to just leave you with that one.
And we have fought each other, in the President/Ninja thread, in fact I beleive it was you that killed Gerald. You bastard.

Chances are, if you are a reasonably well known escapist (which pretty much everyone in this thread is) you will be having a cameo at some point.

The problem is with people like Fire Daemon that don't have human-like avatars, as I will have to find ways to turn things like floating yellow heads, fractals and weird spiral shapes into human shaped beings, of course for Fire Daemon it will be slightly easier, since dragons wouldn't be that out of place.

If anyone has suggestions for how they would like their character represented, feel free to suggest them here.

Meh. Not really sure what's up with this whole new ninja fad to begin with. Didn't we already do this back in 1994? Like monkeys, pirates or Master Chief, ninjas are not inherently funny. Are you going to MAKE them funny, or is this going to turn into a "oOo00 l00k a n1nja!!1!" thing?

(Obviously I don't think the "drinks through his mask" thing is funny. Or the crab.)

I mean, not to crush your creative impulse or anything. But...

*crush*
I defy you and your warped opinion, Pirates and Monkeys are still funny. By this alone I have already written off your opinion as unimportant, as you obviously have no taste in humour.
And uh, If I may point to my avatar for a second, you may notice that it's a Ninja, hence my character in the comic is a Ninja.
Looking back through the comic, it appears that (other than the title and the end title), the word "Ninja" was said once. I'm not sure if you even read it, but it might have helped you to gauge a more accurate idea of what the comic was actually about. A quick check on my creative impulse reveals that it is very much uncrushed.

I wondered if that might happen, though so far the only common thing (as far as I can remember from watching Unforgotten Realms) is that it's set in a medieval countryside, and I beleive Iron Ninja said "what's wrong with Gerald?" Which after reading your post, I immediately read in the voice of the mage guy.

There is a huge difference in the art style I agree.
I'm thinking (just thinking at this point) of having a shorter comic like the first one made in between the longer ones, and they will have a setting much like the first one (ie. the "real" world) I think PurpleRain suggested that I do one of Ultrajoe doing something not so Ultra like ironing, so they would be things of that nature, and I would attempt a more "set up, set up, set up, puchline" sort of thing.

Ah, those were the days...

It's neither, just two angry crabs, Gerald wouldn't hurt Root, and I feel like a jackass for making that.

Unfortunately I have a bad feeling about Larry...
I was sort of hoping more people would recognise him, though I suppose the beard didn't help.
I've decided to be nice to him though, the poor man got trapped in /b/ for crying out loud, I thought he deserved a break, so I gave him a role where he wouldn't get killed so often.
Armitage Shanks said:
Oh and forgot to mention it before, but in the Gerald back-story, the pirate Travis Bickle, I think thats gotta get an award for most genius and obscure in-joke.
Once again, it seems that Armitage shanks is the only one to notice the little things.
I haven't done this in a while, and it's high time I started again, so here.
Have a cigar.

so, i'm NOT a child in this? this makes me much happier. the comic is brilliant
Any suggestions as to what you want to look like?
I'm going to be basing it on the picture of your avatar, but in that you don't have any armour/weapons or anything.
Also I'm not sure what I'll do to stormtrooper girl, but I guess It could easily translate from white, plastic armour to some kind of metallic plate armour and people would still recognise who it was supposed to be.

Wait? Why are they killing Root? He's so loveable and jolly.

Just to be the echo of everyone else, good job and I look forward to more.

As for a cameo, if you ever have need to put an arm (or electric razor. They have those in midevil fantasy worlds, right?) into one of the panels for any reason, you need look no further.

LOOK AT ME IM AWSUM XD
You know, this is probably supposed to be just for humor, but your writing could really use serious work. I do realize that writing for a professional publication can turn me into a huge prick, but seriously, I found the first comic made you look rather full of yourself, and the second just dragged on and on and on.

The drawing is pretty good though. How did you do it? It looks like it was drawn in MS Paint, but with either an incredibly steady hand or a waycum tablet.

The steady hand one, I have no idea what a waycum tablet is.

I wonder how I would make a cameo...

Something involving the Clock Tower Sandwich, maybe?

Anyway, keep up the good work, Fe. Ninja!

EDIT: Waitaminnit, THAT'S why they call you that!
