Well, for those that missed it, here's my latest project. See below for an explanation, and enjoy!

<!--QuoteBegin-From the Old Topic+--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (From the Old Topic)</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Just to let you all know, I am continuing to work on the Prophecy of Tears. My workspace is a little cluttered at the moment (house cleaning), but as soon as I get it organised, expect another part to be posted <img src="http://forums.saber-...DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />.

Anyway, recently I've been reading a few Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett, and felt inspired by his satirical views on life. Then, I re-read the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and felt almost compelled to do something random. Thus, armed with a bunch of bricks, a WIP radio transmitter, a camera, desk, lamp and a head full of ideas, I set about producing this comic.

I plan to update this comic whenever I have the time to, but until then, enjoy reading through the 'pilot episode'. There's a few sizing issues (I've been editing in PowerPoint Office, so I'm still working out the bugs), but I should have them sorted out soon enough.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Anyway, the comic can be found <a href="http://www.brickshel...y.cgi?f=308472" target="_blank">here</a> in Brickshelf form, but I'll also deeplink it here.

IMPORTANT

I found this on Brickshelf a week or two ago and was wondering if you were gonna post it...

Anyway, it's awesome and original. By the way did you make that planet in the beginning?

Gah! Brickshelf - the bane of my existence .
The planet at the start was, as I've mentioned before, an LDD image I found on Google .

In other news, I'll post the next part (the next completed one, that is) sometime this week, then update with one I haven't shown before.

Wow I feel really dumb...

[Silent-Sigfig]

Is my sign-up in?

[Maverick-Werewolf]

Awesome... I can't wait for more, as I said on TSSLF.
Soo, is Prophecy of Tears delayed for now, or...?

[J_A_W]

Great dialogue
Nicely built encampment
Funny situation and characters
All in all a good comic. Can't wait for more.

[Grombrindal]

Is my sign-up in?

That remains to be seen. I won't tell anyone if their sign-up is in - rather, they'll have to wait and see.

Check the topic to find out . At the moment, I'll be delaying it while I clean off my table (I need to find somewhere to put the Lego), so until then this will be my comic .

Thanks. I'll try to get more done soon-ish, but no promises.

[Grath]

good so far in my book can't wait for more.

[Rogue-Brigade]

Nice. I liked the R.A.N.D.O.Ms joke. Well... Back to re-posting.

[Iron Corsair]

Wow that was funny. I think I'd die of boredom out there but when you're not actually there it's funny.

[Halcyon]

Now this is a comic worth reading for updates. Heh. I like how you made random sound like something real, too. Just make more for plot development, for a more in depth review.

[Hawk]

Hmm....... I remember this.....

I like it, hopefully you wont randomly stop making it to continue Prophecy of Tears right? I hate not having an ending.

[INF3CT3DHAMPST3R]

That's pretty rad, I must admit.
Kinda reminds me of the scene in Forest Gump in Vietnam when the G.I.'s are partying.
I look foreward to the rest of this comic, I do suggest that you add surroundings to the set next time.

[Fortiest of all K's]

Hmm....... I remember this.....

Hey Hawk, wait until you see the NEXT bit...

[Darth Revan]

Well yeah as always Gorm, its great, a work of art, and so on. But please make an ending for this comic.

[Evil Eye Guy]

I really want to make a Lego comic right about now...

[The Indispensable Fred Red]

Haha! It's funny and random. Pretty good quality. Please continue making it.

[The Magic Tuba Pixie]

I saw "Terry Pratchet" and "Douglas Adams." What more would one need?

It's pretty amazing. This would be the kind of Army post I'd like to be at. I would fit right in!


Neat comic. Keep it up, man!

Well, after an unexpected absence, I'm back, so I'll reply a bit then post the next part (which has been in my Brickshelf for over a week ).

Nice. I liked the R.A.N.D.O.Ms joke. Well... Back to re-posting.

Wow that was funny. I think I'd die of boredom out there but when you're not actually there it's funny.

That's the kinda feel I was going for, but be forewarned - things will get interesting at Ghost Post .

Now this is a comic worth reading for updates. Heh. I like how you made random sound like something real, too. Just make more for plot development, for a more in depth review.

I won't. I thought you'd be worried about it going the OTHER way, though, Hawk .

I need to watch that movie (in full this time) .
There's surroundings, but I'm going for minimal Lego sets - I'll have buildings, etc, but I'm trying to avoid baseplates . I feel cramped by them.

Hey Hawk, wait until you see the NEXT bit...

Heheheheheh ...

Well yeah as always Gorm, its great, a work of art, and so on. But please make an ending for this comic.

Gorm ?
Don't worry, it'll have an end. It won't be THAT long, but it WILL have an end.

Haha! It's funny and random. Pretty good quality. Please continue making it.

Thanks. Fear not, children - it WILL be finished .

Yeah, well, that was my selling point .
Thanks .

Anyway, replies aside, I'll post the next part now. I'll also shrink down the images for my next updates/link it here, to avoid image resization.





























































More to come.
