Yo there!
What once began as a roleplay on this very forum, featuring the colelctive work and creative inspiration from several of our esteemed members has now become a comic adaptation as well, drawn by... myself! A lot of people in the chat will know of this, but for those that don't, well, this is the thread for it.
The first Chapter (0) is hosted on Deviant Art, including the cover and subsequent pages. It's hardly the most unqiue and personal of sites that I'd like, but it does the job, and leaves it open for comments. It's quick, free and fast for myself, so no problems there.
The excitement and adventure begins here:
Forest of the Future: Chapter 0
The pages have links within the descriptions that lead to the next pages.
Typically, a set of two pages is updated around every week, although this is open to variations.
So, why did I create this? Basically I thought the story that so many of us actively contributed to was just so fantastic, that I had to share it to other people, and a comic format would be a nice medium for it. That, and well I'm a comic buff and love doing things in that way, so there you go.
The contributers were, and are:
Tergonaut, Bentleee, Eclipse James, Shadow Lady, Mike1204, Tornadot, Dirk Amoeba, Rico, Seori, Froggy(series of numbers =O) and myself; hopefully I didn't miss anyone out. What was also surprising was that the creator of the RP; Black Gyser, only posted twice, yet the RP has expanded to such an incredible degree! (50+ pages)
So, feel free to look at the pages, comment on or ask questions or w/e, on what is perhaps one of the biggest MoFo comic projects? Or is it the first? XD
And--
--that's enough from me.
o.O
I was in this? I... don't remember it.

You were a unanthromotic wolf who talked and stuff.
I was? Musta been an RP that died for so long I forgot about it. o.o;
Naaaw, it was just an RP that had so many people join it and then we got split up and sent every which way and I think we forgot your character was there after a certain point.
Though ironically it's still alive today, even getting some new life. It's been nearly a year since it first started now, if I remember right! Or over a year even.
But on to the business at hand. Excellent artwork here, a wonderful cover and logo (inspired by the Final Fantasy series with the words and with something in the background representing the entire game/story), lots of details.
I especially like the little details that you sneak in - like the picture of the hedgehog in the bathing suit in Max's plane, the butterflies and rays of light on the 2nd and 3rd pages, and of course the wrinkles in the clothes that people wear and the features of their accessories.
I'm also pleased at the incredible variety that we've managed to accrue in the storyline. To think that we've been able to get all of these various characters togethers despite their backgrounds and current objectives! It's been one of the best RPing experiences I feel I've ever had, right up there along with participating with Evalc's RP.
Look forward to seeing how this develops, as well as helping in any way that I can, since this comic is based on an RP with many pages missing due to the EZhack last year.
Yep, Rico, your character was called Kenji.
Thanks for the great comments, Tergo. The variety of characters is great, I agree. It seems difficult that so many vastly different characters would be able to interact as well, but they have.
EzHack = EVIL

Yeah. I created it because we hadn't seen a Newbie RP since City Bound, and I thought we were overdue for one. I did want to join in, but I hit a creative drought, and I thought I should just drop out while I was still un-important to the story, instead of catching up with everyone and then holding them back by not posting.
Nice work on the logo, and indeed the comic.
Update! The first few pages of Chapter 1 have been added!

Oh... er, I totally have to come and comment o.o
All these promises I made if I were to get broadband- and now I have it I just seem to lurk around these days...
It seems I have a life now. Darn it
Hold that thought, I'll summon some energy to comment on each page in the near future. You're doing a really excellent job as of yet!
Bentleee, all that text AND and image in your sig makes it far too big. please reduce it.
This is Bentleee,
Anyway, I won't really be posting around the Mofo apart from the RP forum- where signatures appear to be disabled anyway.
My apologies anyway, for what it's worth on the signature front.
