Webcomic: Legendary

[ElfLad]

Here (http://legendary.comicgenesis.com) is a comic that I've been working on lately. I've been working out the storyline aspects for about a few months and I've started uploading the comics recently. I've been hesitant to link directly, but I've decided to bite the bullet. It's currently updating Mondays and Thursdays.

To give a little background, it's a console RPG parody, and the main character, Lionel Glenrose, is a recently graduated White Mage.

Any feedback on art, humor, plot, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

[Elbodo]

I just went and read all the comics on your site, and, well, I can definitely say you've gained one more loyal reader right here.

The art could probably use a little work (more backgrounds would be nice) but in the handful of episodes you've got up I can already see it improving.

Your sense of humor, meanwhile, is really fantastic. I don't know if you're familiar with Order of the Stick, but you do for console RPGs what that comic does for D&D. And considering the success of that odd little duck I think you'll go far.

And to tell the truth, in my two very favoritest webcomics (8-Bit and OotS) the writing is generally stronger than the art and you've got that going. So stick with it and keep 'em coming!

[ElfLad]

Hey, major news for Legendary: It has recently undergone a major art change, spanning the whole archives. Go check it out, and tell me what you think of the new style.

Also, it no longer updates M-Th, now it is M-W-F

[Fighter=Genius]

Not bad. It's alot like adventurers and rpgworld, but it's got it's own feel to it.

[Selfish]

I am absolutely charmed by your comic, ElfLad.

It is decently drawn, brightly coloured, has clear faces and expressions and a winning story line.
It is apparent that you wish a quality production; and this showcases you efforts.
AnotherOne is a satisfied customer. ;)


edit: went back to read it. The magic is growing; have recommended it to quite a few of my collegues at the complaints dept. One guy laughed while on a call! YOU WIN, ElfLad! :D

[Tiako]

That's pretty funny. I'm sure you are tired of being compared to Order of the Stick, but at this point it is obligatory.

[ElfLad]

Thanks, guys. I'm not really tired of being compared to OotS, it's a great webcomic, and I knew when I started drawing that I would be compared to it for better or for worse. I also knew the same would happen with Adv! and RPGWorld, which is why I tried so hard to keep a lot of my jokes about things not covered by them, like the game opening and obvious tutorials. I almost didn't include the "Times Are Tough" homage because of that, but I finally went through with it, and a lot of people told me that one was one of their favorites. And most people have told me that I have my own feel, which is really what I was going for.

And AO, I'd love to know which strip your co-worker laughed at.

[Mac]

A winner is you Elflad. I love the comic and regularly vote. the Designs and nice and detailed for being simple (not a bad thing) I like it.

Hey I mean, it ain't like anybody's got a patent on stick-art and nerd jokes.

Well okay, The Squidi thinks he does, so worry about that.

[Monstructor]

That strip's not even funny. And it looks like a ripoff of that other crappy webcomic, The Order of the Stick (which is horribly politically correct as well).

[ElfLad]

Rip-off? Right, because using the same art-style means that there is absolutely nothing original in the comic. The lay-person might be fooled by the different characters, different subject matter, different page layout, but alas, your keen eye has pierced through my web of deceit. And also, the horrible political correctness which is evident in every strip, especially when Lionel is referred to as a Caucasian Mage.

You know, I don't mind if you don't like my webcomic, as long as you provide good reasons. Or at least provide some support for your crappy reasons.

[Arlia Janet]

Ooooh. I like it. I mentioned your comic to John Cutting (http://www.fortunasaga.com/index.php), and I think he's going to link to you with his next update.

Heh, that could actually be a pretty good joke.

[ElfLad]

Heh, that could actually be a pretty good joke.

Oh, I plan to use that. Yee-he-he-hes.

The funny part is that 95% of what he makes fun of is true. Reminds me of Parodylicious.

Which reminds me of how ironic the world is.

[Selfish]

Oh Elflad!

That man quit the other day, going to a better position across town. I DID ask him which strip, and he never said.
T.T

Sorry, man.

MORE people are reading it here at work, though. Cracks me up almost every time.

Feed the soul, feed the masses.

:D

[ElfLad]

Hey, guys.

Happy Valentine's Day (http://legendary.comicgenesis.com/d/20070214.html), or something, I guess.

[Buddha Fett]

Since you told us about this one, I've become a regular reader.

I can't explain why, but I like it. Kudos, and keep up the good work, my man.

[Iyeru]

That feb.16th one was good (High Five!)

[ElfLad]

Well, I felt it was appropriate to bring this up again, because Legendary now has 25 gut-bustingly hilarious comics!

Also, there's 150 total. :)

[Mintaro]

Read the first 15 comics of yours. It was decently funny, on a consistent level. It'll probably get funnier the deeper I get sense a lot of it appears to be set up for jokes later down the road. And while your art could of course be improved, I've never put much weight on art. I mean, I don't draw much better really. So good luck, May haps I'll continue reading.

edit- #90 was great
