for one I don't get the idea of taking a sprite from a sprite sheet by itself with none of the background.

That's...Not exactly the hardest part of the procedure.


What are you planning to use to do this? Paint, photoshop or something else?

I'd recommend photoshop.

Is there a free version of photoshop on the internet?

Not...legally.

It is possible to make comics in paint. In fact, I made some rather funny ones in paint way back when. But it's hard as hell to edit.

Maybe GIMP? That's free. But I don't know how it handles animation.

Around... $600, I think, for the full version?

edit: $579.99 from amazon.com.

But buying photoshop for doing a sprite comic is a little like buying a semi to deliver pizza.

For that price, I shouldn't get an A on the project but for the year!

I thought it was going to be some old 20-30 software!

......Okay Excatly how complex is this project?

Cause if its simple I would really just use MS Paint...

*points to OOC Comic from a year ago, the on in the rp thread. Yeah the one that Drekal gave to DH and he should get off his ass and start making them again comics...* Pure Paint....

There used to be an image here telling you to vote, but then Photobucket, the image site made to allow you to do third party hosting, no longer allows third party hosting without throwing a shitload of money at them... and I can barely afford to eat. So no you get some text of me bitching about it, yaaay! Also, go vote.

Well, you can pick up an older version of photoshop, but still... seriously, the only reason you would need Photoshop (even an older version, which still run around $150) is if it was a serious, professional project... and maybe if you had other uses for it as well.

Just use Paint. If you learn the program rather than just tossing something sloppily together, it will do just fine.

What Mordy said.

Photoshop/Macromedia fireworks = Special effects + overkill

Paint = God.

So basically use Paint? What about that thing Mike suggested?

While it might be worth checking out because its free, it's still more than you're ever going to need.

Did I mention I'm one of those people who go completely overboard when doing stuff?

*shrug*

Then go overboard, but don't expect people to like it.

I want to stab someone every time I see a sprite comic with a lens flare.
