Too orangey for crows

How about a view from the front of a convertible car so when you pick your chars it looks like they are sitting in the car with a long windy road stretched out behind them. It would make for some good 'road' comics.

Street corner at night with a lampost/streetlight illuminating the pavement/sidewalk.

Sandy beach, sea in the background.

Bar/pub.

Dog-food canning factory (view from the staff rest-room area).

I think smamurai works in the dog food canning factory.

Also, I second the car idea, if anyone could do it, because, no matter how stupid they look facing each other in the car, I had some ideas for car comics that I couldn't make due to the lack of car background.

I third the car idea and also would enjoy a background that has a bunch of people in it, like a party or a club, that way, two folks could talk with a crowd around.

I think my character should be in the the party background, preferably unconscious.

I also think we should have a few more "annonymous room" backgrounds, similar to disel and background1/2.

But yes, I second all the other ones as well.

Okay, for the car background, how do you propose it would look like they're actually in a car? Most of the characters end up thigh-up or lower, so that would look bad. I could probably whip up a cartoony street corner at night. I have already submitted a sandy beach with sea in the backround, twice, two different backgrounds too. I think some of the more generic rooms serve well as a bar/pub, but I guess I could *try* to make a better one. As for a Dog-Food canning factory, that's up to you to make, as I've never been in one.

How about a background (or 2 or 3, for a little variety) of the car complete with the people already in it? We could use the height1/height2 characters for the dialogue. And you could put actual characters in front of the car and make it look like they're about to be hit...or uh, just a thought.

That could work... I could draw the background with the car, and pass it on over to Kaddar who could slap in a couple of characters. You know, screaming, look of terror in their eyes...

Or kaddar could make characters for a driving background like the news, with the car built in.

I had a really awsome bar graphic that was the perfect size for stripcreator characters, but it was a real image and I have no idea where I got it so brad wasn't sure he wanted to use some random 'pub off the net.

http://www.drigon.com/~ta/bar.jpg
http://www.drigon.com/~ta/airport1.jpg
http://www.drigon.com/~ta/dojo.jpg

same story with the airport and dojo, I'll be damned if I know where I found 'em. One thing the bar was missing was people in the background, but I thought it'd be weird having the same guy not moving in the background anyways.

I was working on an arcade a while ago too, but I had the character size ratios wrong for the kaddar/dexx characters (who I use to figure out if it's an ok size) so it looked crappy:

but there is one that I like that I've made recently.

Bull pit could probably be removed, because in retrospect, it's not all that useful.

Cool! I'd love an airport background, since funny stuff always happens at airports (Bong/Bomb word soundalike :P). i also like how super monkey ball and river city ransom are at the arcade.

The dojo and arcade are awesome.

I kinda thought the car view would be a nightmare to pull-off but the characters already in the car suggestion rocks, I think one guy (the driver) should look angry and the passenger should look vacant.

The dog-food canning thing was just a piss-take, I mean why show the restroom in a dog-food factory when it would look just like the restrooms in say, a cat-food factory? It was just my idea of irreverence I think.

Why not kill two pets with one stone and use the restroom at the Purina factory?

They have checkered urinals.

Ha, ha!

I was working on Sunday and happened to go to the toilet (as you do) and noticed a pubic hair lying in the urinal, it was disturbing as we have a skeleton staff on a Sunday and I knew the hair had to belong to one of two other guys working that morning.

What a great story.

In college, i had a red-headed roommate who had a red-headed girlfriend. one day, i discovered a short, curly red hair on my jacket. I looked at it and thought to myself, "i know what it is...the question is, which one did it come from?"

Nice background Kaddar. I'll work on some of the other suggestions tonight, or tomorrow night.

Very good arcade. Let's hope Brad puts it up.

Member Rated:

The dojo is super sweet, I'd be using this a *lot* if it was put up. The arcade's pretty good, but I think it could use a little decoration in the top half, having seen the pic with the characters in it. Maybe a "Change given here" sign in neon? The bar's very nice. The airport is a bit neutral looking and doesn't really say "I am an airport" to me.

But good work, kaddar.

By jove I have cracked it! The car. We put it into characters instead of backgrounds. Car-l and Car-r, when put together they form a whole car to use against any background you want. Put them reverse together and it looks like two cars side by side. Put one side in and a normal character and it will look like a pedestrian speaking to a guy sitting in a car.

No need to thank me now. btw I am just the ideas man not the something something.

The steering wheel may cause some cosmetic problems, but hey, just hide it or give them both steering wheels, it doesn't have to be super accurate.

Can someone just throw something together to show him how rediculous this would look. Who stands on the front seat to drive a car?
