Dilemma in the Mushroom Kingdom

Note: this is my first comic, so a lot of constrictive critism is needed. I think I've read through all the stickies that will help me, so here goes:

These comics are about Brendan, May and Wally being transported to the Mushroom Kingdom accidentally (well, it was wally's fault), and it causes Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and Peach to be transported to the Hoenn region.

Chapter 1

I like the idea of Wally as an idiot. Scince this is only the first comic, I only have one peice of advice: Don't use default paint colors on comics.

Wow, I thought I'd be bombarded with comments on how to improve loads Oo

Do you mean the last panel, where they get sucked into the warphole? That's meant to be dodgy, as brendan points out. But can you tell me how to access the non-default ones?

I'll be making Comic 2 soon. Comic 3 may be able to break the fourth wall.

To access custom paint colors, go up to the grey bar on top that says stuff like "open, edit, picture, Ect." Go to Colors and click. Select edit colors. There you go.

Thanks, I'll use them starting Episode 5. Episode 2 will be up later, and is revolving around what happens in the Mushroom Kingdom at the same time. Eps 3 and 4 will revolve around falling through the badly-made paint portals.

Great idea. But the beginning seemed a bit rushed. BUt its really to soon to judge anything about this comic. BUt it looks like your a person who should be able to make a good one. Just when the story sets in dont rush i ^_^

I was thinking of starting the warphole thing at Chapter 6, but at least 2 of the chapters would be nothingness, I couldn't really think up good ideas for the first few.

have a few chapters of them traveling through a strange Vortex. It would give you time to just fill it with humor and commentary without worrying about the story. I'd say 2-3 wormholeish chapters. It would let us see what kinda humor you can use.

Make them bigger. Like, scale them up to 200%, so you can see facial expressions.

I am. Before this, I did a few rough ones, and a few of them were humor comics, 3 of them are vortex eps.

It really isn't a good idea to put facial expressions on poke-faces in the first place, because they are only a few pixels wide. And I don't know how to scale pics up in paint not coming out sloppy.

And so I don't have to say it when the next comics are already posted, look for wormhole-like backgrounds at http://www.bghq.com.
Also, find someone in the fan sprites subforum who takes requests and ask them for Mario charachter's overworld sprites for when they are transported into Hoenn. Same for the poke-people. With mario-styled sprites, of course.

I know this seems hard, but it will save you a lot of trouble in the future.

Don't worry Bagonclaw, it's OK, it'll be a bt hard though, seeing as I used Superstar Saga sprites. I'll try making them myself first, posting them in fan sprites, then seeing how they are. I was planning on making someone turn the Mushroom Kingdom into the past version, so I could use the Super Mario World backgrounds and everything like that.

Puh-lease.

Here is what I use for Pokemon Neo. Plenty of expressions possible with 2x4 pixels.

Hey, it's good for start. You might want to add more frames into each comic, though don't make too much.
The people above said all the other things.

Most comics have 4 though, so it's enough.

Sorry for the delays, I'm having trouble uploading the next few comics.
