Adventures in Ninja cookery (discontinued)

[TheKnifeJuggler]

Out of sheer curiosity:

How are you drawing this?

MSPaint mostly, I have a cheap rip-off version of photoshop that came with my computer, but it can't do much other than make things look blury and put things into layers.
With the exception of the glowing effects in the dragon part, the last comic was done entirely in Paint.

Ah. I see.

And in order to make this not seem like a content unworthy post:

I'm satisfied with my portrayal as the rock in the 2nd comic.

 

[Labyrinth]

Ohhh. I can't wait to see the cameos, and in that line of thought, how is my ego going to be portrayed? I'm curious.

Also, this comic is still made of win. You should personify Chatspeak into something ghastly and horrible, then have the characters pitch battle upon it.

I haven't done this in a while, and it's high time I started again, so here.
Have a cigar.

Yes! My second Iron Ninja cigar.

Are you going to have a time schedule of when you will update the comic, or will it be updated whenever you get finished with the new strip?

The next long comic will be done within a week, the next short comic will probably be done in the next few days, I'll be posting them as soon as possible once I finish them.

To let you know when a new one has arrived, I'll change the thread title to say "3[sup]rd[/sup] Comic posted" or something.

The comics will be posted straight on, I won't edit them into the OP, but I will put links in the OP to all the comics as it goes on.

ah that's good, that way I'll know when the comic has been updated, and not just someone responding to the thread. (which isn't bad, but it gets confusing sometimes)

I'm not entirely sure myself.

Oh absolutely, I don't want to give away everything before I do it, but I have plans for defeating the disgrace to the english language known as Chatspeak.

Any plans to make any escapists permanent cast members? or will it just be a monster/buddy of the week type thing?

There will be a permanent group of people that builds up, so Cameos is probably not the right word.
In fact at some point I hope to remove the Iron Ninja from some of the comics and focus on one of the other members.
I also might split members into different groups and focus on them for a whole comic.
I don't want to list the definite cast members here, as:

1) I don't want other people to feel left out

2) I'm not entirely sure if I have decided on everyone yet

3) It will ruin the surprise.

But there are certain escapists which will undoubtedly make an appearance, and the inclusion of them will probably surprise no-one.

 

[jim_doki]

your answer satisfies me.

also, are you gonna host it anywhere other than here?

 

[The Iron Ninja]

Would you like me to? I don't really have anywhere other than here to put it.

 

[cainx10a]

I hope there is an antagonist who wants to eat Gerald!!! Can't wait to read the next chapter.

 

[Labyrinth]

I'm not entirely sure myself.

You could have a character who's shadow is a) unusually enormous and b) shaped like some sort of artistic tool.

your answer satisfies me.

Deviantart.

 

[CoziestPigeon]

many a thumbs up.

Deviantart.

Deviantart annoys me. Mainly because of the excessive and annoying ads, and the fact that my ex is obsessed with it.

But there are some good things that come out of it. For starters; my Avatar. And this guy:

http://jollyjack.deviantart.com/

I mean, some of his anthropomorphic artworks are downright wierd, but the are all extremely well made. Does this guy get paid for his works?

Oh, and read his 'How to Play' series. It's one of the few webcomics I enjoy, and they're worth the read.

 

[The Iron Ninja]

I have come to the conclusion that Deviantart scares me.
However once I have made a few more comics I may overcome my fear and put them there as well.

Of course, any non-escapist who sees it will be thinking, "What the hell?"

But then they'll have to join the escapist to enjoy them thus creating more members for this board.

An interesting concept, but it might attract more... undesirable elements of the Internet.

Nothing that the Mods can't handle, though.

Also, in this fashion, it makes me feel exclusive. A V.I.P., if you may.

DA is like the internet in miniature. A pyramid of quality. At the bottom you have a bunch of 11 year old naruto fans who cannot draw beyond shitty sketches on writing paper. At the top you have some of the most talented people I have ever seen, from many different mediums and the like.

Here are a few examples of that top slice:

Spoiler: Denim And Lace by sormerod

Spoiler: Patience by werol

Spoiler: Hobbit Box by back2root

Spoiler: Regurgitation by mashina

Spoiler: L'Ataraxie by decrepitude

So yeah. Seriously? Get one. It's an easier thing to backlog than a thread too, and the comment system is more convenient.

The problem is that it wouldn't make any sense to Deviant art people, they wouldn't get any of the references to the inner workings of our forum, they wouldn't know about people like PurpleRain or Ultrajoe so appearances by them would also have much less of an effect.

This was designed as a comic of the escapist forums themselves (it may not look that much like it at the moment, but it will get there), So although this may find it's way onto Deviant Art eventually, my plan is to keep it here for the most part.

 

[Aries_Split]

Woah just noticed this.


I hope to make a cameo, due to our long standing e-friendship. The comics are looking awesome as is, which is more than I can say for most webcomics.

If you do choose to include me, feel free to either go with my new fallout avatar or old Kevin Bacon one.
