Diddy asks DK a question

Oh crap! I think I get the joke! XD

[Ribbedebie]

I've actually been working on a little sprite comic of my own lately. I don't know where it's going yet, but we'll see. It's pretty silly already.

[Geno]

Dixie isn't the only one who can play Swanky's Dash, DK can too.

[Gaz]

You used my sprites and backgrounds, didn't you?

[Geno]

I used one of your screenshots. The DK I ripped from MK64 myself.

[Addie]

Well, this topic is pretty darn dead. Well, I'm still gonna show my stuff off. I make sprite comics in my spare time. I've made ones based on Sonic, Mario, and right now I'm even doing a crossover involving Kirby and Metroid. On the side I'm making a comic based on DKC, with some elements from the games, the old cartoon and some original ideas. I'm doing this mainly because theres a HORRIBLE lack of DK in the sprite comic community.



These are only a few pages, so you can read the rest of the comic here. Even the 8-bit retelling of the original DK! I guess ill pot more stuff here if people want. I'm just wrapping up the Perilous Prologue and going into the Boisterous Beginnings!

Welcome to the forums, Addie! Thanks for sharing your comic and your website with us! Here, take this banana as a reward.

[Qyzbud]

Very nice work, Addie; I'm enjoying your style, and the storytelling so far.

[Addie]

New Page:

[Super Luigi!]

And so the plot thickens! This comic is also well done, in my eyes. Keep creating greatness!

[sonosublime]

Really liking your comic so far Addie. Good banter between the Kongs, and it's nice to see a more involved story.

[Addie]

Alrighty, the real actual chapter 1. Lots of new characters!

[spaceman2028]

This is more of a poster/one-panel comic, but here it is:

Sorry about the bad message
Kids, crime doesn't pay

AAAAAHHHHH-*CRASH!* A kritter in a minecrart hits the corvette as the words "...for their actions!" is seen on screen.

ALTERNATE ENDING

>(wearing sunglasses)*rams into the corvette with the microblast car from TM4* "...for the good guys!"

[Addie]

Hii. I've made plenty more of these in the past few days.

[Addie]

[Qyzbud]

Wow, Addie; I love your style!

How would you feel about having your work hosted in our fan art gallery?

[Addie]

That would be pretty awesome. I'd be quite flattered and honored. c:

Also I decided to upload another page today because I was bored :I

[Super Luigi!]

I honestly don't have many additional words to say, Addie. Your comics are great, the background events are funny, and I love your storytelling style. Keep up the good work, and you'll earn much fame and banana fortune here on the Atlas, as well as in life too!

I'm flattered. I try to make the best comics I can.

Anyway, we finally meet everyone's favorite Crocodile...

Glad to hear it! I'll put some up soon.

One thing I noticed is that a previous strip you shared seems to have a continuity issue; in the first frame, DK's charging his right fist for a punch, but the following frame shows him punching with his left. Then we see him holding his right fist out, as though he punched with it:

Spoiler!

Perhaps the second frame ought to be tweaked to show DK punching with his right fist — unless of course you're trying to show that he hit the Zinger with a series of punches, but that's not the impression I get.

I think that's my only criticism so far; your comics have been wonderful to read and look at.

Another minor nit-pick; in your latest strip, K. Rool says

Alright krew [...]

in one frame, then

Alright men [...]

in the next; the second "Alright..." feels a bit repetitive and redundant to me. Oh, and "scurvey" should be spelled scurvy.

[Addie]

Yeah, I noticed those things too. Thing is, the sheet I'm using has only a handful of attacks for DK. The only pose of him charging up a punch has him revving up one hand, but the only punch pose I wanted to use had him punching with the other.

As for the krew thing, both panels were made at very different times and I kinda just slapped them together quickly after making the panels...sooo yeah.

Second page with our bad guys, and the first major change I've made to DKC lore.

[Super Luigi!]

Interesting. You wouldn't happen to be going the Way of Smurfette, are you? Or perhaps Dixie is a double agent? Regardless, I'm eager to see what happens next!

[Addie]

Looks like Cranky's got a ghost problem.

[Super Luigi!]

What, Diddy's not family? Oh well, I wonder what Cranky will show DK? And perhaps Wrinkly has something to do with Cranky's errand?

[Addie]

[Super Luigi!]

And then the last panel breaks everyone's expectations. For some reason, the environment used reminds me of Metal Slug. Also, I wonder what that contraption does?

[spaceman2028]

CAUSE IT IS
Also Addie i initially liked the old avatar you had, just sayin.

I assume that cranky/wrinkly refers to the treasure the kremlings are after?

[Addie]

Both this background and Cranky's shack were made from assets from Metal Slug. The waterfall in the background is from Primal Rage though.

Also, I'm afraid that's no contraption. More like a half-baked disguise.

[spaceman2028]

Explains the mess apart from the obviously suspicious swing-set just hanging there.

[spaceman2028]

Not trying to knock this topic off the shelves but where exactly is the rest of the art supposed to be?

I should make another sprite comic for old times sake

[spaceman2028]

Whoops, wrong subject, Bluetronic. I Apologise. I was referring to the comics, but know i know that they do in fact take time to produce(i'm still waiting for the responses i have for my reply to that comic involving the cars and crime does not pay thing).

What are you talking about?

[spaceman2028]

I was referring to a single panel comic from a while back. The comic showed donkey kong and diddy kong riding in a car in part of the minecart madness stage as King K rool passes by them in a corvette as the text on the comic says:
SOMETIMES, CRIME PAYS
Love that classic comic

[Addie]

What do you mean?

[spaceman2028]

Are you still making comics or are you busy? That is the minor question.

[Addie]

Are you still making comics or are you busy? That is the minor question.

I make comics whenever I feel like it, so that's why I update so randomly. Speaking of which, an update!



You can read them without having to search through the topic here.

Also, I've been thinking of creating a new topic for my comics specifically. Should I?

[BlueTronic]

But you're the only one who regularly makes comics. This thread would be dead

Exactly. I kinda don't want my thing to be padded with all the other pages from this topic :T

[Super Luigi!]

I say you could ask Qyzbud about it, but in the end, do what you want. Also, Addie, do you still want me to comment on your comics? I don't feel that I'm particularly helpful simply shouting, "Wow! Incredible!" with each new comic. But then again, maybe you just want some random guy to do that!

[Phyreburnz]

If it makes you feel any better, I pretty much totally took over the animation thread! You could just do the same thing, here!

I don't mind. As shallow as it is I enjoy the praise ^^

[Tonberry2000]

Where did these sprites come from? They're pretty great.

DK, Diddy, Cranky, Dixie, Wrinkly and Funky were all made by this guy:

Alsoooo, I made a new topic. Everything will be posted there from now on.

Can someone make a comic about Donkey Kong's reaction to Five Nights at Freddy's/Sonic.exe?

[Addie]

Can someone make a comic about Donkey Kong's reaction to Five Nights at Freddy's/Sonic.exe?

I did the latter.



I made this in like a minute, by the way.

[spaceman2028]

Was not expecting YOU to do it, Addie, but i like it nonetheless. Freddy's side of things, seeing the rumors, is probably going to spook them MUCH more, however.

Well she's the comic master here, who'd ya expect?

I've got an idea for my comic, but my emulator no longer supports layer customization
So I need a background snap of the Disco Train stage (no rails or sprites or floors)

[spaceman2028]

I once recently sped up my game too much and messed up the map graphics. Kong College turned into a blue screen! (not of death, but for making photoshops.)

What about ZSNES? You can hide different layers with that emulator.

also thanks for the compliment
