Hi planeshifters,
after the very successfull art contest, we want to have one competition where everyone can participate. We had some time ago a comic strip drawn for PlaneShift, and the same artist will draw the one which wins the contest. ;D
The rules are simple:
- For the graphical part you can draw it with VERY simple sketches, or just describe it with text (like: a big enkidukai grins at the kran,...).
- For the text part, we require it to be pretty much final, with quotes and phrases present in each frame. Here you can say: frame 1 around the head of the Enki- "Here you go! Another rusty Xacha!", on the human: "mumble mumble", frame 2 ....
- The frames can be from 1 to 6.
- No bad language, no violence (except the one needed to kill a monster), no connections on real life religion, politics, people, states or whatever. It should be 100% planeshift related.
- You can submit more than one comic.
Current "extendable" deadline for submissions is Halloween! (Consider that in PS Halloween is not present :) at maximum they know what an undead is)
:devil:
-
interesting, can;'t say I'll get involved with this myself, I can only bring up ideas and do behind the scenes stuff, not much of an artist or writer :]
-
Hey, nice!
All you story-tellers, get over here!
-
Who knows where is the old PS comic?
it would be a good idea to keep the style and possibly continue the story ;P
-
That would be on the Comics (http://www.planeshift.it/download_comics.html) page :3
-
Eeeeh, might be an idea not to have actual characters in the comic...and no inside jokes.
Just a suggestion
-
Hey, nice!
All you story-tellers, get over here!
Sure Peacer at your service *starts imagining*
-
I would post something, but I don't think my humor comes for the asking.
-
Where do the submissions go to?
-
I would post something, but I don't think my humor comes for the asking.
Phinehas, do not hesitate to post what you think is humor. For all I know it's great and sarchasms are always appreciated. Try it out, you might be surprised ;)

:sweatdrop: :sweatdrop: :sweatdrop:
well... I'm not good at drawing so here is the text.
Frame1:
At some table in Kada'El tavern a male diaboli is surrounded by many folks.
He is grinning as he tells the joke and spreads his arms to the sides to show the length of the fish.
Diaboli: And I pulled the angling rod and I got a fish this big!
Dwarf with big red nose: Whoa!!!
Dermorian: Really?!
Klyros (at the next table): Not again!
Frame2:
At the next table - a menki and a klyros who is pretty annoyed to hear the same joke over and over.
Klyros: This is the third time he says the same joke...
Frame3:
The menki comes with a brilliant idea; wicked grin on his face.
Menki: I have an idea! Let's tie his hands!
Frame4:
So the menki and the klyros jump and tie his hands. The diaboli is very surprised.
Diaboli: $#!?WTH?
Dust cloud: *kick* *slap* *poke*
Frame5:
The diaboli sits back at his table and starts to tell the joke again.
The klyros waits...
Diaboli: And I pulled the fishing rod...
Klyros: I wonder what is he gonna say now...
Frame6:
The diaboli puts his fists together showing the size of the eye.
Diaboi: ... and I got a huge fish! It's eye was this big!!!
The kyros is completely puzzled.
Excessive smileys removed :} --Karyuu

I'm wondering if this comic is meant to be more for the players of Planeshift, or to attract new people. It's just that while reading the above concept I realized that although it was amusing, it really had nothing to do with PS whatsoever, however I also realized that if we make it too PS oriented, non-players may not "get it". So who's it aimed at/for?
-
1)
A red haired male [ Diaboli | Ynnwn ] awakens, rubs his eyes, and reads in the message box:
>Bored? Create a guild and advertize it on our forums, make a web page for it!
Suddenly he realises: "Good idea..." and imagines himself as next leader of the land.
2)
He swings the rock pick well, makes the nuggets fly, and sings:
"Let's make lots of money..."
3)
He stands on a socket at the plaza and shouts:
"All Diaboli and Ynnwn, come to me, join my guild to be founded soon!"
4)
Several hours later...
A small circle of just even 5 more or less matching candidates (poor noobs with unshaped bodies and basic clothing) meets at the ledge to the right of the entrance to the arena tunnel.
One of them asks: "How will we be called?"
Another smart guy (raised finger) reminds: "It must be a unique and impressive name, which already explains our goals..."
5)
He reads a scroll with the already used guild names:
...
Dark Brotherhood
Dark Empire
Dark Fangs
Dark Shadows
Dark Vigilants
Disciples of Darkness
...
6)
With a desperate expression, he wonders (cloudy thought bubble):
"Does this town already have 'Fire Fighters'?"
P.S.: Forgot any "dark" guild? PM me so I can add them before the deadline! :D

Oké... Here goes nothing:
Titel: The smartass-menki (named Socius \\o// )
Frame 1: You see an menki (I would love to see my name on it, but it doesn't have to :P ) digging, saying: "c'mon goldies!" but he has no luck. There are also other peoples digging, among them a Kran.
Frame 2: four hours later We see the menki still digging, still no luck. the menki curses : "!@%$^%!@$ Ohh my &^!%# Laanx and Talad, I hate you, you stupid piece of rock!" directed towards the rock he is digging in
Frame 3: You see the Kran turning his head away from tyhe digging to the menki saying: "What did you say!?"
Frame 4: The menkis stands before the Kran saying: "I said : "!@%$^%!@$ Ohh my &^!%# Laanx and Talad, I hate you you stupid piece of rock!" ... You got a problem with that?"
Frame 5: they are still standing face to face, the kran is getting real angry saying/shouting : "WHAT DID YOU SAY!? YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME? HUH?"
Frame 6: still standing face to face, the Kran still furious, the enki replies chuckling: "No sir, I don't need a piece of you. I want gold... and by the looks of it you only have coal in your skull" ... (that's like you can imageon yourself what happens next, like an open book ending, only this would by not a book but a kick-ass comic ^^)
Notes: -you can Ignore the line in () ^^ or not ^^ :lol:
- I hope you all get the joke... I my mind it's funny, I hope so here ::)
Péace out!
^^
Edit: I still don't know what the exact date to halloween is... so if I'm too late.. srry :-[
-
Drew something simple that shot through my head.

Socius, I'd say that was funny right up until the last scene. The idea of the Kran thinking the menki was talking to him was good, but the joke at the end was... bad.
-
:( Ohh so it wasn't that funny as i thought it was...
But hehe It ain't a joke, it's something like the comic of the dwarf and the menki, at the end I mean... You see the furious enki, but not what happens next, for all you know the enki could offer the dwarf a beer, or knock him down... ??? I don't know if this clear anything up... ???
Oh yeah, and there was a 6 frame limit, So a good-funny-story from my won't fit there, because always when I talk in english I talk for hours to explain what I can say in one line in dutch :-[
Untill you all can read my mind, you will have to settle with my crappy explainations :P
Péace out!
^^

I leave the drawing to artists :) I might try to sketch it if I find time and paper
only 1 set: the grass in front of Harnquist, seen from a dwarven perspective heads of tall races can't be seen. a tree trunk on left side with a dwarf sitting under it. in the backgrount the blacksmith house.
1:
The dwarf sits under a tree drinking beer (cliché) a kran stands in front of him, at the right side, his head can't be seen.
Kran: Hello
Dwarf: Hello kran.
Kran: Do you know how I can craft a weapon?
2:
Same characters, the dialogs filling the middle. the dwarf doesn't drink.
the dwarf makes a long explanation filling the whole picture. His dialogs covered by the kran's acknowledgements.
Dwarf: Crafting is an artform ...K:I see...You need patience and some knowledge in ...K:Ok... right materials ...K:Of course... temperature is important ...K:Clear... the desired shape ...K:Obvious... Then you will have to ...
up to the bottom of the picture.
3:
Same positions. dwarf drinks again
Kran: Thank you sir.
Dwarf: You're welcome
4:
Dwarf spits the beer with amazed face. The kran is not seen. in the background Harnquist's is filled with smoke and onomatopoeias: BLINK! PAF!! Wooosh!
5:
the kran stands in front of the dwarf
Kran: hmm...Are you interrested in buying a...
Kran: a finely crafted butterknife of rubber zigzag?
Dwarf looks at the reader...saying nothing.
edit: made a quick draw:

1)
A menki kneels before the statue of Laanx in the plaza in Hydlaa [view is from low over the shoulder of the menki where Laanx statue sits in the center of the frame stoic intimidating.] Menki prays, “Dear Laanx please do not destroy my crops again this year.”
Statue says “…” *
2)
Same Menki kneels outside of the Ojaveda gate off right his fields and home are clearly burning. Menki cries “why Laanx why?” The sky says “…”
3)
Same menki at the statue “Laanx I thank you for sparing me my good looks, and I know you have a plan. If I have offended you please forgive your humble servant.” Statue says, “…”
4)
[Three small frames focused on the menki kneeling as all his hair falls out in stages]
5)
top half of hairless skinny awkward menki one of his fangs falling out as he says “alright Laanx I see how you want to play it. I am gonna pray to Talad.” Statue (unseen) says “…”
6)
Bald menki has his back to the Laanx statue and prays toothlessly (a pile of teeth on the ground before him), “Dear Talwad pwease save me fwom Waanx.” Menki reaches hand toward sky. Statue says boomingly [connected speech bubble from statue’s face in bottom right corner of frame eyes glow red.], “Talad cannot hear you fool! I have trapped him in I-r-c!!!”
*this should be disconnected from the statue in each occurrence.
-
Heh heh heh. Both of those last two were pretty funny if you ask me. Although Hadfael's would probably be funniest for n00bs, etc.
-
Hopefully this is at least somewhat funny:
Panel 1:
A Klyros stands at the edge of a rocky cliff (no ground shown). Thought bubble: "Like the wind in the skies!"
Panel 2:
The Klyros jumps and starts to glide (still no ground shown, possibly a bird with a "?" over it's head). Thought bubble: "Over water, bushes and trees, like a feather!"
Panel 3:
Klyros lands with a big, satisfied grin at a sea-shore, amongst some as of yet nondescript bystanders of varying races.
Panel 4:
Bystanders' faces show rolling eyes, desparation or anger, speech bubble from outside the panel: "For the last time: you are supposed to practice..."
Panel 5:
View is zoomed out, showing a small rock (off which the Klyros obviously jumped) in a very small sea's shore, with some bystanders on top, an Ynnwn in the lake, and a Nolthrir with an unnerved expression; the Nolthrir is a grown-up, and all others (the Klyros and all other bystanders) are obviously kids. Speech bubble (coming from Nolthrir): "... SYNCHRONIZED DIVING!"

I hope you like this one!

Seytra... I guess you had to be there... I mean, I get the vague concept, but it doesn't seem all that hilarious to me...
Gyerfry: Although that was pretty darn funny, I'm not sure it's what we'd want as an "official" comic, if there is such a thing.
-
Oh well, atleast it's good for laughs.
-
Seytra I found yours really funny. Great job. I'd like to see that turned to a comic. :thumbup:
-
Is the contest ending now?
-
gyerfry talad has likely not had time to review what is here or has not noted anything yet as worth advancing, please contribute your idea
this is true for everyone keep them coming.
-
There, I submit mine for the heck of it. Enjoy this bit of complete randomness. Let me know if there's a problem with my wordage or setting.
(1) Kran Homeland. Kran (Gruxun) is standing on top of his own house, while Neighbor Kran is on ground level
Neighbor Kran: Hey there Gruxun! In Talad's name, why are you standing on top of your house?
Gruxun: My Lemur-friend Naily is visiting, and I'm going to share some diamonds with him. Our homeland doesn't get very many outsiders, so he needs a BIG Kran welcome!
(2) Close-up of Gruxun's face, beaming, looking off into distance
Neighbor Kran: Didn't know Lemurs like diamonds
Gruxun: Of course they do, because diamonds are tasty! Look, here he comes now!
(3) a wagon made for the affluent. Stonebreaker is holding reigns. Naily is riding as passenger, looks comfortable but very annoyed
Stonebreaker: We have arrived in the Kran Homeland, boss
Naily: Good, this had better be worth it, for I shall become the most affluent Lemur in Hydlaa. Dig for all the treasure you want, StoneBreaker, for this Kran will voluntarily GIVE me his diamonds!
(4) Naily and Stonebreaker standing outside of wagon. Stonebreaker is amazed, Naily looks like he wants to be elsewhere, gets money from purse
Stonebreaker: I wish I brought my pick-axe...for even the very houses these folk live in are mineable
Naily: Here, some circles for that long and BORING trip. Go buy yourself a new one. Now, for those diamonds--
(5) facing up from underneath Naily, you see smaller Naily looking straight up and bigger Gruxun in cannon-ball fashion closing in on Naily from directly above
Gruxun: HELLO, NAILY!
Naily: Wha--AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
(6) Naily is in crater in ground, Gruxun and Stonebreaker are standing outside looking down in crater
Gruxun: Wow Naily, you look so tired after that journey. You should come inside and rest on my bedrock
Naily (thought balloon): Kran are stupid
Stonebreaker: ...boss?
-
Ouch ... that hurts ...
And imagine, Gruxun insisted in Naily eating diamonds to get better afterwards.
-
I should be sleeping, yet here's my inspiration. (sketches may eventually come tomorrow or later)
STRIP:
Overall setting: A kran, the wisest Talad priest whose wisdom is exceptional and famous. And a male Ylian. In Hydla streets.
1) The weather is bad and very cloudy. The man was running desperately, when the wise kran, in a very confident way but curious interrupts him so that he's slightly turned.
Kran: "Where are you running at, childe?"
2)The man stopped and is talking to the wise one but very restlessly. Man: "At home, oh wise one! And quickly! Don't you see the weather? It's coming down a rainstorm!"
The Kran is looking up, keeping the confident smile of the one that knows everything.
3)Kran: "You are wrong." -pause- Kran: "No rainstorm is coming down. Infact..." The kran is raving, proud like a teacher to a disciple.
The man is listening, a bit deluded that he was wrong but reassured that there's no hurry. But also keep an eye on the clouds.
4)Kran: "... I am perfectly sure, from my metrics and meteorology degree, that there will be no rainstorm, instead..."
5) It's falling a HUGE quantity of water, expecially on the man, you can hardly see anything. "... a thunderstorm!" The kran is still very proud, assuming, as he says this, a satisfied pose. The man, now wet, doesn't say a word, because there's none to be said: -_-'
-
I loled.
But as a kran i am insulted by this disrespect to our .... intelectigance!
-
It's intaligence if you mind...
-
There are two kinds of people:
- Those who are intellectual.
- And those who don't even know what that means! :P
-
It's intaligence if you mind...
It's intelligence if you mind... :P

It's intaligence if you mind...
It's intaladgence if you mind...</subliminal messagore>

Oh how could I miss that @_@

Since this thread isn't closed yet, I'm going to submit a second entry.
Frame 1: A house in Ojaveda, an Enkidukai is looking at the window, seeing an obviously agitated crowd pass.
Frame 2: Curious, the Enkidukai walks after them, amongst more agitated Enkis, some armed with banners and signs. Visible snippets of them say things like "Freedom", "equal rights", "Octarch", "ban" etc..
Frame 3: Around a corner, a full-fledged demonstration takes place, with half of Ojaveda participating. In the back the city hall can be seen, surrounded by the protestants. The signs can be read now and say "Enkidukai have a right to live!", "The Octarch must be removed!", "No genocide!" etc.. Some are throwing rat eyes, moldy apples and other, similar things towards the entrance.
Frame 4: At the entrance of the city hall, a clearly scared government spokesman is standing in a pile of rat eyes, trying to calm the crowd down while avoiding the things that are being thrown at him, saying "I again assure you that this was a tragic misunderstanding! The mistake will be corrected immediately!". Behind him, two workers are busily removing a sign from the wall.
Frame 5: The sign in close view: "Keep Yliakum clean! Please don't litter!"
-
Oh bravo! I cracked up on that one.
-
Indeed. Very well played word.
-
Hmm... Native english speakers might understand it better.
I guess it is about "messing a place" vs. "using the tree"?
-
A "litter" is also the term for a group of young born to an animal, like a litter of kittens. Therefore "don't litter" can be seen as "stop the Enkidukai from multiplying."
-
After I read Karyuu's explanation I thought it was really funny!
Good job :thumbup:
-
That is brilliant XD
-
Hmm... Native english speakers might understand it better.
Ummmm, nope, Im English and it had me confused, I was thinking cat litter ;D
But after the explanation I get the joke and it is great ;)
