Other than that, the white bg kinda sticks out too much, and the edges of his bubble have flaws, but I'm sure you were trying to figure a way make it looks right, so that's okay. Other than that, skills Ryu, this is an awesome piece.

None of the restrictions.

I did a google search and all I saw was Ptoing's c64 piece. Did he create it? ???
I personally think it is very well done, but I agree that the white background is pretty harsh, but I don't have too much experience with the c64 pallete so I'm not sure what colors are available.

Post by: Helm on September 26, 2006, 02:26:16 am: I'm honoured. This is a lovely rendition of the !yus! bird. But why such harsh selout?

Post by: Ryumaru on September 26, 2006, 02:48:58 am: @helm: yeah, i was thinking of redoing the entire speach bubble in the first place because it seems to be the only element that seems out of place to me, and your post has convinced me to do so. thanks, and im sure you'll get a kick out of the entire comic.

Post by: CrumbBread on September 26, 2006, 07:19:41 pm: It *is* lovely =) Doesn't have quite the rectangular beak of the original !yus! bird, iirc, though.

I'm still confused as to why this emoticon !yus! is related to the yus bird at all, though. :huh:

Post by: Ryumaru on September 26, 2006, 08:30:50 pm: @helm: omg are you serious, that would be totally awesome! !yus!
(yus is already my favorite word at school, and last year i got my art teacher saying it !)
@crumbbread: the emoticon was done by helm, it depicts the facial expression of the yus bird.

update: second panel: with, OMG another yus bird, that must mean they will hold conversations containing only the word yus and punctuation marks!
wip of course (http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/4546/ep1indeedqg3.png)

Post by: Ryumaru on September 26, 2006, 09:23:57 pm: 2 of the panels im not gonna show, these hold the joke, im just looking for comments and critique as everything will be done similairly to these panels.

Post by: Helm on September 26, 2006, 09:27:21 pm: Sure I have a few !yus! comics nobody has seen around here. Spreading the word around is a lovely thought :) Keep going at it.
