How about a nice hell background with screaming tortured souls? The current one is a little dull. It doesn't even have a karaoke machine!

A bar would be good too. Angled so there's a drawn-in bartender and the left character is sitting at the bar.

Or no bartender so we can add a floating head as the right character.

Yeah, the reverse fast food is a good idea too. We have reverse houses in various forms of interiors and open doors. Or a cash register that's not a fast food place. So Chicka can work the registers.

nice new backgrounds.

Also, brad, this isn't a new character..

---

Kaddar's characters are gonna go up eventually. That background's good except that characters on the left look like they're standing on the side of that videogame machine.

Somebody tell Kaddar! Sweet, Kad's been advocating those other characters since I got here.

I'm just pushing one new character. Me. How can you not add this? It has golf clubs!

I actually had sent in a bathroom (among other things) but he actually only accepted 3 BGs... (Understandably so... the bathroom sucked...lets face it) He only chose the absolutely most spectacular ones from my collection...

*waits very patiently to see what other goodies Kaddar gave to Brad to go up* I hope I get a new avatar... *drools*

I will rate you hard, and unendingly.

Background I made at Choad's request.

Poop.

oooh, the asian girls could talk gossip.

I just made this one tonight of an old western bar entrance. Hopefully Brad will see fit to use it, though it's no where near as kool looking at nooniepuu's

For those who have their obscenity filter on and can't see the graphic I posted up above (my server's domain name is devilfuck.com, heh), you can see the background pic I did here (url all nice n obscenity free)

I agree, no amount of new characters stopped my writers block but these new backgrounds inspired three new comics.

THREE!

Kajun fans around the world will be so excited...

Well, the novelty of being on the internet in a public library is wearing off, as is my pre-booked time. So, briefly:

1. Thanks Noonie, and Brad!
2. I might have a go at a bar background as well, if it's good enough I'll submit it.
3. Kajun you MagBas.

Please replace the handset, and try again.

Those were good comics.

I am in favor of as many different characters and backgrounds as possible. A limited amount of them may stimulate your creativity in some ways, but most of the time it simply forces you to settle for something that doesn't really fit what you're trying to do.

Legend, oh legend, the third wheel legend...always in the way.

In an RPG, that depends. If it's like Chrono Cross, then you can take your 40 characters and shove them. I want characters with real character and an actual story behind them.

You didn't like Suikoden? Aw.

Nope. In fact, it's probably one of the most dissapointing games I played on the PSX, next to Chrono Cross, and Vagrant Story. It got a lot of hype, and I found it totally unable to live up to its press. I was far more enamored of Persona, which was released at the same time as Suikoden.

I especially thought it was cheesy in Suikoden how you could, by game's end, undo the dramatic death scene halfway in... you know the one I'm talking about. Brrrr. Totally cheapened the whole moment. See, this is the thing I pointed to when all those whiny FF7 fanboys cried because of the death in that game, and wanted Square to include some kind of ressurection option for her.

Does nobody understand the beauty of a tragic scene?

At the same time though, the death scene in FF7 was completely non-believeable. I'm sorry, any game with such easy access to items and magic that allow someone to get up from 0HP quickly and easily cannot realistically portray a death-by-attack where the party is standing *right there* to do something about it.

With Chrono Cross, they did give you a lot of characters that you would never use. But with the Suikoden games (at least the third anyway, I never played the first two) you were still more or less forced to use at least half of the characters. Since the game had three main characters, which each having their own stories up until a point. Plus you'd always end up using them in the larger battle sequences.

A cop killed me in DopeWars.

Ah man I haven't played Dope Wars in ages. That game ruled. Have they updated it any in the past 3 or so years?

No, but the presence of the "River City Ransom" machine is of questionable legality.

A classroom background would be kind of cool, and I think it would fit the need of many of the "Conversation with person at school" strips that many people make.

I think, therefore I make comments on a forum.

it seems to fit some characters, though I'm sure the wider ones won't fit, which was pretty much impossible and have the arcade systems resemble an arcade at all whatsoever.

I removed the names of all the games to allow people to say that the games are any arcade game they want.

(note this image was made after I fixed the left arcade, it was slightly intersecting with some heads.

Oh, man, I LOVED Suikoden! I spent hours and hours and hours on that game. It's one of the perfect examples to me of a game where a great variety of characters enhanced the experience. I guess I just like recruiting people.

Made up a few new ones:

First a classrom as requested, and a farm.

And then just some random rooms, one original and the rest are just copies of the "disel" background.
