Well, with a little more time on my hands, I've started Volume 3 up and I've managed to mess up a few panels ^^; Ah, downtime...

Since old Uchuu is kind of dead, I'm going to suggest a new format (here)...I'm using it with the pirate extra story where I just draw the picture then we fit it into a panel system later. It'll give you freedom to pretty much set up the page as you want, MB, but it'll probably render our old dialogue system useless.

We'll just give it a shot for a while but it's much faster, especially when I get on a roll...

That sounds like a good way of doing it. I promise I'm good at that stuff. And I can always change it, since I'll keep the PSD file.

How will it render dialogue useless? Basically you have what the character says in dialogue, and I'll put in speech bubbles later. I think it will be much faster, too.

Lately our system has been rather inefficient because I managed to mess up two pages misreading dialogue @_@ It was amazing and I actually had to write on one of them 'this page needs a lot of help' ^^; I dunno, I suppose it'll still be fine and I was just having an off moment(s). Rolling Eyes

Yea, its looking pretty good...well, okay good. I've been reading over some of the old stuff and some things they do really don't make sense (some. lol) so I've been working on that too. Like, with the Jen part, he says he doesn't want anyone to see him here and wants to leave but for some reason says 'um...' after Tai says she wants to go to a market...so I decided to give Jen a minor whoreish part >.> All the other guys have had one...lol, I'm on a hype XD

Look at that monkey-butt go by!

Anyway, it seems hard to set up a webcomic and make it flow well. And make sense. I dunno. I'm not sure how to advise you, I guess keep the dialogue with you when you draw. What you should do is add actions beside the voices in dialogue so you remember how you had it playing out when you wrote it. I think I may have some time tonight to color. And with how fast it goes, I may finish the rest of the page. Here's to hoping.

Yay, Jen's a whore now too! Very Happy

We need to attract readers. Sex does that. Lol, have you seen how popular slightly-sexy webcomics are? Full frontal nudity and explicit sex only draws a small, horny crowd, but when it has hints of sexy it's really popular. (Not always, but a lot) That's what we need Razz
