My Fist Fan Comic

Ok, before I let you read it, here are the rules:

1) I'm a BEGINNER!!! Please don't criticize me TOO much! I'm proud of my comic!
2) Emerald Cutscene sprites ripped by Sciz of the Spriters Resource
3) I KNOW there's an anime panel in there, and it's there on purpose!
4) Bashing me will get you reported
5) Compliments and constructive comments ONLY. I will not accept bad stuff like "Your comic sucks I don't like it at all U R such a prick go drown yourself". Suggestions and small hints appreciated ^^
6) I'm new with Adobe photoshop 3 so I still use MS paint most of the time
7) I draw WAY better on paper, but this'll have to do.

Here it is (I like it!)

This is very very confusing. You should make it clearer. Not to mention, when Groudon and Kyogre are swimming towards each other, they're not. Still, it's funny!

Thank you! I'm making a different, more sensical comic and it'll be up soon!

Well, I'm sorry to say that I will be critcizing it. Let's see... *reads comic*

Was it supposed to be funny? If it was I didn't understand... Unfortunately the paint tools do not really make good sprites (unless you use the smallest pixel size of course) and your backgrounds and effects come off as cheap and visually nauseating.

The Anime panel (and I know that it is mentioned in the disclaimer) really does not work.

I will give you credit for your post, because your wording shows me that you're not a braindead idiot who doesn't 'get' grammar, so I think that with some graphical improvements you might be able to create something worth while.

I remember this a while ago, I still don't get it.

How is Kyogre going straight down?

One panel is anime, it doesn't look right when the others are sprites.

There's not much going on. Is there any reason they're fighting?

Pretty darn bad. It has crappy default colours, used circle tool and the backgrounds DO NOT match the sprites.
 
You could have used overworld pokemon sprites and overworld maps for this comic, it would make it look much better. Your colour effects are not limited to your staring pallete. If you go to the colors tool, and go "edit colors", then go "define custom colors" you can get a much greater variety.
 
You could of made the Legendaries look more realistic for example how Kyroge was shooting down it look so weird.

It's not too bad, but the anime clip does seem out of place. As do the characters, mainly because the backgrounds are kind of unrealistic. So is this just a one-shot?

By the way, I reccomend you change the thread title, cause unless it's a fancomic about fists...

Thank you all for the support, I agree it does suck but I'm coming up with a comic that actually has a PLOT so don't fear!
P-Man, you bashed me, and next time please read the RULES!!!!
I found the Kyogre sprite on Google and I KNOW there are more than default colors to choose from, but I mainly use the eyedropper tool (but only for sprites).

I'm eager to see what you'll produce next.

Though I myself have had run-ins with P-Man, his comment was not bashing. He simply said it looked bad, and used the default colors of paint, which isn't necessarily untrue. You need to be careful with what you adress as flaming.

Yeah, You're right, Blueguy. I've never met him before.

Thats SPAM. Don't do it!

This comic looks as it can be improved. Like instead of drawing maps you could use the Ruby and Sapphire maps and overworld sprites. I hope your next comic improves.

Then somebody should close it! It sure needs it, anyways. Ember's Life, my other comic, is a lot better than this.

Actually, this is pretty good, for a first-timer. Don't give up, Emeraldrayquaza. My first comic, Sprite Village Adventires, was sorta like this, but now, after my third comic, I have Improved, and I am remaking my first two.
