Hinky the Pickle 08-02-2005, 06:42 AM Hey all! I apolgize if this is the wrong forum (I figured it was either this or the art forum), but I'd like to share with you a new sprite comic series I will be making. If this is the wrong forum, feel free to move it.
Anyways, this comic series is called "The Chronicles of Eureka", a comedic sprite comic focusing around Final Fantasy III (NES), which I feel is the best of the 3 NES games. Anyway, "The Chronicles of Eureka" is to Final Fantasy III what 8-Bit Theater is to Final Fantasy and what "Ah, The Power of Cheese" is to Final Fantasy IV. Basically, I'm going to stay true to the events that happen in the game but all the events will happen in some funny way, with quirky character personalities. But enough talk, let's get right to it shall we?

The first issue is mainly filler. The storyline will pick up soon, don't worry.
Anyways, C+C plz kthxbye.

Buster Sword Strike 08-02-2005, 06:59 AM To be honest I think it needs a little more criticising the game and pointing out dumb things in the game. As this is your first it's pretty good. I hope you aren't hoping for the fame that Necro achieved though.
Edit: I think it needs direct screen shots cause half (99% actually) haven't played it before.
dougicidal 08-02-2005, 08:08 AM I like!! I find it funny. But like BSS said you need a little more criticizing...
Hinky the Pickle 08-02-2005, 04:33 PM Well, in my defense the game hasn't even actually begun yet. XD Those who have played FF3 know the game starts out in the cave, but I thought I'd have a little pre-game storyline because the game never explains why they went to the cave.
UWAOOOOU 08-02-2005, 06:44 PM If its anything like the power of cheese Im certainly interested.
Hinky the Pickle 08-02-2005, 07:26 PM Here's ish 2. Remember, this is still kind of pre-game stuff, so it's just character development mostly. Enjoy.

Necronopticous 08-02-2005, 07:37 PM You should listen to the dialogue of the Final Fantasy III - Legend of the Eternal Wind soundtrack for inspiration. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.I hope you aren't hoping for the fame that Necro achieved though.Yeah, you know I've been having sex with like hundreds of young beautiful groupies every day and I can hardly even go out anymore without being approached in the mall or supermarket. Maybe you don't even want the fame I've gained, sometimes it can seem a bit invasive, although I am scheduled to appear on the Craig Kilborn show next week, that should be fun.
abrojtm 08-02-2005, 07:38 PM I'm really having trouble reading Danon's text. Also, I'm not particularly fond of the font. Otherwise keep on going ;).
Kawaii Ryűkishi 08-02-2005, 07:41 PM I don't think something needs to be original in order to be good, but the similarities to 8-Bit Theater here are pretty distracting.
Kittay 08-02-2005, 10:34 PM I don't think something needs to be original in order to be good, but the similarities to 8-Bit Theater here are pretty distracting.
Ditto. Still well made, however I would have created a new style instead of copying Brian Clevinger's.
Flying Mullet 08-02-2005, 10:43 PM I would recommend keeping the sprite colors consistent when you're using the battle sprites versus the overworld sprites (i.e. red versus pink). It makes it easier to tell who's who.

Well, I'm basically staying true to the game which actually had two red Onion Knights. XP It'll be less confusing when they change job classes anyway, so no worries.
DocFrance 08-03-2005, 03:27 AM I'll be frank. This is just 8-Bit Theater with slightly different characters and plot, and about a tenth of the wit. The format is the same, the jokes are the same, the backgrounds are the same, the dialogue is the same. It's not very funny, either.
Hinky the Pickle 08-03-2005, 07:55 PM And now here's number 3. The plot is moving right along now.

Destai 08-03-2005, 08:54 PM *claps* the comics should be longer though if you ask me. The first 3 could have been one.
Hinky the Pickle 08-03-2005, 09:01 PM *claps* the comics should be longer though if you ask me. The first 3 could have been one.
True. I was looking at the third one and thinking "only 6 panels"? I think I'll shrink the logo to make more room or even just get rid of if completely.

I do enjoy reading it though and Ive never played FFIII so Im interested. Please keep up the good work! (And I like Perry, Hes going places)
Buster Sword Strike 08-04-2005, 07:45 PM That last one was great!!
And Necro I meant like everyone here knows you 'cause of power of cheese.
Hinky the Pickle 08-12-2005, 01:44 AM What, you guys didn't think I was dead already did you? Pfft... you wish. Well, whether you like it or not the newest issue is here. Read and enjoy. Or not. It's up to you really.

dougicidal 08-12-2005, 02:06 AM Wow!! I find this comic really funny!! You should post it in a comic web...
Hinky the Pickle 08-12-2005, 02:17 AM Yeah, once I get this comic off the ground a little more I'll probably give it it's own site provided I can find some good hosting.
dougicidal 08-12-2005, 02:17 AM Yeah man it's kick ass...
Raven Nox 08-12-2005, 03:12 AM Well, I didn't like the first one, but the last 3 were pretty good, even if it does seem like 8-Bit Theater, but that's not really a bad thing. XD Well, it's ok so far, and I'm sure it could get better, keep it up. =D
dougicidal 08-12-2005, 03:20 AM What do you not like about the first one?? Just a question...
Raven Nox 08-12-2005, 03:29 AM What do you not like about the first one?? Just a question...
eh, it's ok, but the other 3 are a lot better.
dougicidal 08-12-2005, 03:51 AM True...
Hinky the Pickle 08-16-2005, 12:42 AM New issue! Eat it up! It's nutritious and delicious!
This also marks the end of the "introduction" so to speak, and now the game is actually going to begin.

Momiji 08-16-2005, 12:52 AM Although it has lots and lots of 8-Bit Theatre references, it is quite good, as FFIII is one of my favorites. Don't listen to the other people. Keep it up. ^_^
Behold the Void 08-16-2005, 06:53 AM The fact that it's just a blatant rip-off of Clevinger's style is something of a turn-off, I really wish you'd make it a bit more original.
dougicidal 08-16-2005, 07:06 AM I love it!!
MJN SEIFER 08-16-2005, 07:48 PM Brillant!
But what's wron wih Frends?
Hinky the Pickle 08-16-2005, 08:33 PM Well, I never really found Friends very funny. I saw this commercial on TV once that pissed me off. There was this fat, balding guy in a hockey jersey getting all excited in front of the TV, with his beer and his nachos close at hand. It turned out he was watching Friends instead of the hockey game. Seriously, no straight man should get that excited over an episode of Friends. For that matter, neither should a gay man. The whole point of that line was basically to emphasise the fact that Buck is a little bit confused about his gender. Because women predominantly like Friends. I know it's a little stereotypical, but hey, what are you gonna do?[/explanation]
Anywhoo, here's the newest issue, featuring blatant advertising! Wahoo!

dougicidal 08-16-2005, 09:26 PM Lol. Keep up the good work!!
Locke the Thief 08-17-2005, 02:47 AM These are funny! Keep em coming!
Rengori 08-17-2005, 03:36 AM While not a total ripoff of 8BT, you came up with a unique title. The best I came up for my sprite comic was "The Adventures of Megaman X and Frost Beast". If anyone wants to read it, PM me. I no longer have a website.
very funny, keep it up :D

k. That's you're opinion ten.But I (And most people) Have concidered Frinds for all veiwrs but That's me and my Friends (Pun not intended) and we conciderall show s for all viewers My Beliefs on't allow steriotical "Labling" But I can' Tell to change your opinion nor follow my "Religion" buI just wanted o get that of my chest.
On a positive note I think the rest of your comic is Excelant and I don't hink (Like others) ou hav ippd of 8bit thy look completlydifferentand yu are orional... so keeep it up!
Flying Mullet 08-17-2005, 08:53 PM Hey Mr. Hinky, are these kids in a pickle?
Rengori 08-17-2005, 09:52 PM Hey wait, those sprites aren't in proportion!
Hinky the Pickle 08-18-2005, 09:32 PM Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you... comic number the seventh.

Narf!
abrojtm 08-19-2005, 03:19 AM Mortal.....
Hinky the Pickle 08-19-2005, 03:56 AM Mortal.....
I mispelt that purposely, I'm not an idiot. It's a reference to a Flash movie I can't be bothered to remember the name of where the devil called everyone "mortels" instead of "mortals".
abrojtm 08-19-2005, 04:12 AM OK :)
Raven Nox 08-19-2005, 04:50 AM XD Ok... that one was hilarous.
dougicidal 08-19-2005, 04:53 AM That comic was awsome!! I've never seen such a thing!!
Hinky the Pickle 08-20-2005, 03:12 AM You can always count on these guys to make a big deal out of fighting a turtle. Heh heh, here's number 8. I promise, the plot will actually move soon.

Captain Maxx Power 08-20-2005, 03:00 PM The fact that it's just a blatant rip-off of Clevinger's style is something of a turn-off, I really wish you'd make it a bit more original.
You mean using sprites in a panel based comic? Yes, of course, Clevinger definately pioneered THAT style :rolleyes2
Seriously, not many of us could pull off a comic such as this anyway, and it's top quality. Stop being so bloody pedantic and enjoy it. I know I am ;)
Behold the Void 08-20-2005, 06:45 PM The earlier comics were written very much as Clevinger writes 8-Bit, although I am glad to see more original jokes have been used.

You mean using sprites in a panel based comic? Yes, of course, Clevinger definately pioneered THAT style :rolleyes2The style in which the dialogue is written is entirely a clear rip-off of Clevinger's. Clevinger isn't terribly funny to begin with, but at least he has originality going for him. This comic doesn't even have that.

How far did you read in 8-Bit Theater? He got much funnier around Garland's Castle.
Kawaii Ryűkishi 08-20-2005, 07:40 PM I've read 8-Bit Theater consistently since the beginning.
Chris 08-20-2005, 08:44 PM Do you know what? I think you've done an exceptional job. I really enjoyed reading through all of it.
Behold the Void 08-20-2005, 09:02 PM I've read 8-Bit Theater consistently since the beginning.
As have I, there are definite stylistic simularities.
dougicidal 08-22-2005, 02:31 AM I love 8 bit and I think its funny and all (At times) but it can do much better...
Hinky the Pickle 08-29-2005, 10:43 PM Finally, a new issue. Sorry about the delays, I've been busy with work and just enjoying the last of my summer. Anywhoo, here's issue 9 after a long, long wait. Thanks for being patient. :)
P.S. About the different fonts... I had to reformat my C:/ drive so the ones I was using are gone and I can't remember their names. I hope you like the new font though.
