Once Upon A Star; 230+ comic archive

Post by Lonestarnorth »

This is my second plug for my comic here. Only minimal interest last time, but I've since improved the site (somewhat; getting a much cooler layout in about a week), cleaned up some of the earlier comics, and produced about a year's worth of storyline.


Speaking of storyline, here it is: A boy is born under very mysterious (and explodey) circumstances. His people (the Norse) exile him (with a catapult) to avoid any bad luck and dirty diapers that he may bring. He is adopted by a reluctant and grumpy Polar Bear, who names him Binky. However, Binky is a stupid name and the boy calls himself Star. Star is also a stupid name, but meh. Meanwhile, the country is taken over by an army from Atlantis. After a few years (but only about a dozen comics) the boy has prematurely grown into an adult. Since he believes himself to be a polar bear, however, he doesn't think growing up in 3 years is strange. He leaves home in order to satisfy a desire to travel. He lands hip deep in dookie when his feeble attempts at disguising himself as a human are seen as a rebellion against the Atlanteans. Also, Star is a cowboy for some reason.

That's just the beginning, but I won't give anything else away plot-wise. Other facts about the comic include:

Original sprite comic (made em myself)
230+ comic archive
Miniseries comic on Saturdays
Extensive catalogue of places, people, and concepts from the story
Only one fart joke

You can see the art style in my sig, but here's another alternate banner anyway:

And now, in the hopes that I've gotten some attention (and maybe even interest), here are some links to certain points in the story.

The beginning.
Where it gets good.
The fart joke.

The first chapter of the comic just ended. The mainpage currently has a (very good) guest comic on display, so don't judge me based on that. Unless you think it's awesome.

So. Thanks for any positive feedback, and thanks as well for any constructive criticism.

Hehe, I like it so far (only at Northern Pride), and that's saying a lot 'cause I normally can't stand sprite comics. The jokes are funny without resorting to potty humor all the time, nor do you overly stress them into non-existence. The only thing I'd like to see is a little bit of shading and not totally flat color, especially with landscapes. Just a little more detail would take your art a long way.

And I really love the kraken.
