hey man i really don't want to be offensive or whatever but have you seen how many sprite comics there are on DD.
Trust me unless you don't intend to get far, you should drop the sprite thing.

Well, I can't really draw all that well, so all I can do are sprites. Besides I love what I'm doing and I'm not stopping anytime soon.

You're comic's good, and the computer effects are nice, but like Puff_of_smoke emphasized, having a sonic sprite in your comic is generally frowned upon, because many, many comics already use sonic, pokemon, megaman. You already have sonic and pikachu in though, so I suppose the best thing to say would be to not put Megaman in the comic. I make a sprite comic of my own, RPJay, but my resilience to those sprites was so much that I created my own. This has it's own unique advantages, as you won't get flak from other users, but you also get less pageviews from not mentioning Nintendo and Sega. It may be beyond your level though, as it takes some art skills and you have admitted you don't have any.

Sorry, I seem to have rambled a bit, but overall, don't put Megaman in. Otherwise I'd say you're doing fine. Your spelling's good, the comic looks ok visually, and you haven't made yourself the main character.

Don't worry, Megaman will not appear in my comic. Pikachu will be in it, but his role won't be as important as Sonic or Mario. The only reason that Sonic is a main character is because he is the one who started the whole problem in the first place (which shall be revealed o_O). Also, I can sketch up new characters, which is how I created my own. I can draw them, I just can't draw much else.

Also just a question, I don't understand why making yourself the main character would be a problem, unless everybody else does that. I was wondering because I might make another comic with my alias as the main character. Anyway, thanks for the tips so far!

In the sprite comic world, putting yourself in the comic has been done to death (blame Bob and George for creating the whole concept and trend of author sprites, author powers, authorroni, etc.)

If you're able to sketch or concept original characters, you should be able to convert them into a sprite style.

Content-wise, what you have is decent for a more traditional sprite comic.

Well, I'm not gonna resay what everyone else already said.

On the story line, I'm a bit lost, but it's still starting out so don't let that stop you. Ummm.. it seems you try a bit too hard to fit in a joke every comic page, which for some works and for others doesn't...

If you enjoy what you're doing, then keep doing it and don't let us stop you, but like BlkKnight said, try turning your own concept characters into sprites. Can give it a really original feel. I would also recommend you to look through some more popular sprite comics on DD and on the web for some ideas on how to improve (if you need to, of course).

Updates Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday's (depends).

Don't, it was sarcasm.

To Puff_of_smoke:

To Priest_Revan: The storyline has yet to mature. This comic was purely made as a parody, I won't be using my own characters in n00btendo, but I might make a new comic where I will be using my own characters.
