you can't change the default characters, they are part of the whole stripcreator experience, , besides it would mean that my (and im sure a lot of other strippers) parody strips about using them wouldnt work anymore (not that mine worked that well anyway)

humbug

What Id really like to see are some more backgrounds, not bothered what, maybe a pic of the houses of parliament, just to aid with the political strips, and maybe a slightly altered bedroom one to go with the original, cos sometimes I think it could improve the look of certain strips that use the bedroom one and could give it more pinache.
and a space one without the planet would be quite cool aswell.

So, speaking of backgrounds... I'd like to see a kitchen, livingroom, and office. There are lots of exterior possibilities, but once inside, locations are very limited.

Changing or randomizing the default characters is possible, but it would definitely be a big change. I personally like the asian girls as I find them both cute and creepy at the same time. I also think it's a nice blank starting comic because they're just staring curiously at the user.

And changing the default characters would make all the Stripcreator merchandise seem just strange.

And about art:

1. I'm more interested in improving the quality and diversity of the backgrounds than adding more characters at the moment. I'd like to retire some of the redundant or plain backgrounds and replace them with specific locations/sets that are a little more interesting or provocative. I think that would improve the diversity of comics more than more characters would.

2. I don't really want to add any more characters from other comic strips unless they're willing to stick them in the public domain or something along those lines. While I realize everyone likes the ones we have now, I'd personally be a happier and less troubled dude if I could get rid of them.

3. Stripcreator's traffic has been through the roof lately and I'm not in a hurry to add any more characters. When I add more art, bandwidth goes up -- forever. I have the unique webmaster issue that, if say the bandwidth gets out of control, I can't take characters offline without wrecking hundreds and hundreds of comics. I've been tossing around the idea of small subscriptions for more art for a couple of months now. I'm not sure if anything will come of that. If you have any thoughts on that, please let me know.

You're right! I can feel my creative block melting away already!

"And Wirthling isn't worth the paper he isn't printed on."

It doesn't now?

The what mentioned above is total fiction. Please don't take it seriously!

Hmmm. Wirthling's stick hookers have a certain desperate, crack-whore appeal to them.

On a changing backgrounds tip, could we get the bit of floor visible in Curtain3 (I think it's 3, anyway) changed from being wooden to a black and white zigzag tile pattern?

On that topic, who the hell thought up the idea to have SC on a thong????

Furthermore, I'd like to know which of you have bought one thus far(Spankling, you can refrain from answering..we all know you have a drawer full of 'em).

dcomposed:11-06-05: If I was a viking invading your village, you'd be the first to get raped.
Crabby: 10/5/06: i would love to feed you fresh fruit while bathing you.

It was ALL Brad's idea!

And he says only one has been sold so far.

No prizes for guessing who bought it...

I would love being able to use famous historical photos, like the saigon execution picture or the picture of elvis meeting nixon, etc.

So what are the requirements for submitting backgrounds? What size, and do you prefer gifs to jpgs?

About changing the default characters:

I'm against it. When a new person sees those first default characters, he says "wtf?" and it compels him to look and see what other depraved imagery is in the offering. Stick figures could well serve to quell any curiosity whatsoever from the start.

About subscription:

I'm of two minds about this. I would pay a small subscription fee to stay here, but I'd hate to lose some of the people who might not simply because of monetary concerns. Still, I'd hate for you to have to pull the project eventually because it's too costly.

Maybe you could do a donation drive a couple times a year, and offer a "friends of stripcreator" designation to people who offer so much, and other levels to people who donate so much more... etc. Then they'd get an image on their comics page that shows that they donate to help the site out. People are vain. They like that kind of thing.
