Title: Paranormal girl comics woo
Post by: ridingonemptytrains on 11 Dec 2008, 09:28
This is something that formed a few months ago on the anime and manga board of 4chan, some of you might recognize it. It involved people drawing what they thought the actual boards themselves would look like given human form. In one of the earlier threads I chipped in and drew the first thing that came to mind for the paranormal board 'avatar' (/x/), some people liked her, some people hated her. Either way I was having fun with it until I found a short story involving her on the paranormal board one night. The author called for one of the artists in the thread to make a comic out of the story, I didn't have anything else to do at the time so I figured I'd try my hand at it.

To clarify /x/ is a strange girl who dwells in the basement obsessed with all things paranormal, scared and fascinated at the same time. Frequently comments on imminent zombie apocalypse/alien invasion/whatever she's read about recently.

First six pages plus intermission, done entirely with mouse in MS Paint. I have no idea how many pages it'll keep going for, I just plan to draw until I run out of story.

not bad considering the source, though I have a soft spot for cute/creepy drawings

I have 2 problems with it:

1. I have never been to 4chan so i don't what each /-/ thingie is

2. Backrounds?(then again it is MS paint...)

Thanks for the feedback.

2. Backrounds?(then again it is MS paint...)

1: No worries, it's not really important.

2: In this case I deliberately kept the backgrounds plain as the comic's primary focus is supposed to be on the characters themselves rather than their surroundings. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Why did you put /b/ in the closet?

Oh that's not /b/ in the closet, that's /d/.

Though it is a 4chan production, aswell as a result of MS paint,  you have to congratulate the artists for doing it as well as they did.

Haha, I must give you well-deserved praise for the amusingly accurate portrayal of all the boards *coughcough/d/coughcough*

Oh man, I haven't been to /x/ in weeks, are they still fagging it up with badly written demon/vampire fanfic and 20 threads on how to summon a succubus?
