Thrive & Forums comics

Other Creativity
1
In the last weeks, I had been reading some Team Fortress comics, and they were fun to read. More precisely, they gave a story to each character from both Team Fortress 2 and Team Fortress Classic. That is exactly what makes them fun to read, whether they are realistic or completely absurd (see note 1).
What if we make comics about Thriveโ€™s development and/or about the story of the old and new forums? Wouldnโ€™t that be great? What would you all think about such a thing?

Note 1: teamfortress Website, Comics, TF Comics. http://www.teamfortress.com/comics.php
Look under the first heading.

Thrive already has a comic. Itโ€™s incomplete, but itโ€™s about an underwater civ uniting with the concept aliens to destroy Earth.

I mean, imagine how a comics telling metaphorically the story of both forums and all the stuff that happened.

Iโ€™d be willing to make a comic, but my digital art skills are minimal so it would be pretty low quality.

Edit: also school is being a massive thot so I wonโ€™t be able to do it anytimeโ€ฆ today

Donโ€™t worry. For my memes or my low quality images, I use GIMP. Though Iโ€™m not an expert, I try my best to make my memes/concepts understandable.

As for school on my part, well, it depends on what courses I have.

Fuck, now Iโ€™m hyped for this. Just give me a few scenarios you want in comics and Iโ€™ll do at least one of them sometime this week (screenshots would be nice so I could get a grip on the situation)

Suggestion: a bunch of philosophers discussing underwater civilizations (philosophers represent actual people on the forums).

On my part, Iโ€™m going to read about forums history and try to make some comics about it.

Actually, I once made a mock comic of the bots hypothetically returning to the forums in the future

What did you use to make that?

Adobe Animate (or Adobe Flash), the one program I use for profile pics, animation, and comics apparently

Is it easier to use than GIMP?

12

Iโ€™m not sure, Iโ€™ve never used gimp. You do have to pay for flash/animate though

Might just use corel painter because i already have it, or if im feeling even lazier I might just make it a pixel comic.

There was some software I used when I was in my 2nd year of high school, though I canโ€™t recall its name.

EDIT: AH YEAH, I remember now! Itโ€™s called Comic life, but itโ€™s commercial.
