Actually, no! I have tried it though. MLW was made entirely in Artrage Studio, Illustrator and Photoshop. Recently I've been tinkering with Manga Studio 5, that's proving pretty good but I don't think I could use it for this comic.

Thanks very much for the feedback! I wish I could put stuff up more regularly. I hear scientists can pull images and video straight from the human brain now. Just need a perfected version of that in a commercial application and I can finally make comics as quick as everyone else seems to!

OOOOOOOOOH I WISH.XD

If it makes you feel better, I too struggle REALLY hard to crank out artworks. I'm actually working on one that's been in the workshop for MONTHS now. I HATE it when I do that. So don't feel bad, you're in good company when it comes to working at a snail's pace.

...Or as Chromia says: "Snails McYesterday!"XD

Haha! Well nice to know I'm not alone (although sorry you're feeling that frustration too) - I have nobody to blame but myself. I like doing the artwork, I just let myself get distracted too easily, and then I feel disappointed I didn't get any done (because I like doing it). Sigh.

I feel ya bro, I really do. The problem with me and my work is that at one stage of the project is a VERY taxing and time consuming method of drawing outlines.-_-; If it weren't for that, I'd be cranking out artworks in record time. But with having to draw ALL the lines with the paths tool in order to get the right curves, I end up taking a LOT of time and effort into it all. And that makes me not want to draw it any more...which leads to procrastinating... which then leads to distractions...

*sigh* I REALLY need to get my act together... Maybe the Adobe sisterhooves can help with that. here's hoping.

ParallaxMLP In reply to South-Williams [2014-07-16 17:53:50 +0000 UTC]

Definitely an effort/reward dynamic going on, isn't there! I don't like the early stages of laying down the characters (similar to outlines, except they're filled in with basic colour) or the background. It only gets satisfying when the image is starting to come together with all the shading and stuff

Adobe stuff is on my list.. somewhere, amongst the millions of other things, haha...

South-Williams In reply to ParallaxMLP [2014-07-16 22:41:25 +0000 UTC]

In that case, let me give you a some suggestions for if ever you get around to them. I view the adobe products as like the apple family, because there are SO MANY of them.XD But since Flash(and probably a few others) was not originally made by Adobe, I'd consider her an adopted family member, but they would still love her all the same.^^

Speaking of your list, do you happen to have Avast Antivirus and/or Add Block Plus on there? Reading your webcomic got me so inspired to create two characters of my own to add to your cast. Since the cast so far is full of girls, I figured one or two boys would add a little spice.

Captain Ahab(Avast): (Still figuring out his name...) A charismatic, boisterous, web sailor. He works as a virus hunter, sailing the internet in his ship to hunt down big bad bugs. The biggest and baddest that he encounters he keeps in his "treasure chest" as trophies. He's a very skilled swordsmane, and loves getting attention for his work...especially from the ladies.

Adam (Add Block Plus): A soft spoken, but very dependable young stallion. He took up his father's job as a pop-up blocker and earns his keep by keeping webpages clean of adds and pop-up windows. He's not much of a fighter, but his defensive skills in erecting barriers for protection is unmatched by any other pony online.

both these guys have their eyes set on one mare in particular; Pepsi. However, no matter how hard Adam tries to impress Pepsi with his blocker skills, he either manages to goof-up for being so shy, or ends up getting over shadowed by the Captain's theatrical swordplay and virus wrangling.

Blimey, you put a lot of thought into that!! Nice! Some interesting ideas

From memory, I think Avast is on the list, yeah. Adblock... it's been asked, I think, but I'm not sure I wanted to implement an Ad-blocking character (this is due to the way I want browser extensions to work in the story). 

Of course, none of it bloody matters if I can't get the comics done, haha. MORE DRAWING. I downloaded this time management thing which shames me into not wasting my evenings. So far so good

South-Williams In reply to ParallaxMLP [2014-07-17 23:18:50 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I love implementing stories to a character or plot device.^^ Its something I'm pretty good at.

I guess I'll need to think up something else to replace Adam, though its kinda hard to change what my mind is already set as when someone tells me "that's not how it works." Oh well, I'll think of something.

Captain: haHA, brilliant! NOW that majestic red maiden of the virtual sea is ALL mine!

Adam: H-Hey! You leave her alone! J-Just because I can't be Adblock doesn't mean I'm gonna get deleted!

Captain: hmmm... Quite right, young lad. I suppose it wouldn't be much of a challenge otherwise... Even if you ARE rather small in stature...

Adam: *grrrrrrr....*

Don't you worry about your comic mate, you'll get around to it. Rome wasn't built in a day, and very detailed and imaginative comic pages are no different.

This predates IE11, y'know? I think it was made during IE8, if not 7, when IE still was slow for a browser of the modern age

Not really suggesting anything, no... but a lot of people drew those conclusions from that image, which doesn't bother me. Make of it what you will!

Kindle and Chromia are also the first two to materialize in the next strip, so... 

I use Firefox, even though I've heard chrome is minutely faster.

And I really enjoyed these. Looking forward to the continuation of the series.

Thank you! I haven't seen those, though I've heard of them popping into existence it's a different format/medium though, can't compare them really, they're not intended to be like these comics, I'd imagine

lol we're not really about comics (although IE and Firefox sometimes do short stories). Honestly I'm more of a dA person myself, but I think that for the purposes of roleplaying as a browser pony, tumblr is a better place. (Btw my tumblr is ask-googlechrome.tumblr.com)

ParallaxMLP In reply to 10art1 [2013-06-20 18:42:02 +0000 UTC]

Groovy! Yeah I agree, Tumblr is a better place for that I think. Seems to be the forum of choice for roleplaying characters

To be honest I try to avoid other MLW-related stuff and things involving the browser ponies (except for artwork, though it's not exactly easy to find). I desperately want to see what's out there, I know there are Tumblrs and fictions etc, but I DO NOT want to be influenced in what I'm doing with Websurfers. So it's a horrible, lonely self-induced isolation for me haha.

For example, I *did* just take a peek at your tumblr, and I saw Chromia using her jewel as a sort of utility device. That's fucking awesome, I love that idea. But now I feel awkward that I've seen it and want to use the idea in the comics! (If I do, I'd have to credit you for that idea, it's great... already know where/why she might want to use that ability in the Websurfers story too)

10art1 In reply to ParallaxMLP [2013-06-20 21:20:07 +0000 UTC]

Absolutely you can use it lol. To be honest I only came up with that idea when my friend BowtieMod (the guy who does  ask-chrome-pony.tumblr.com/ told me that she was given that device by Google Co. as an identification device). I kinda agree dA is lonely because in my time on dA I only met 1 really good friend and it was through him that I met a bunch of new people. If it wasn't for him I'd still be forever alone. On tumblr however as soon as I started my tumblr (with BowtieMod's permission) I got to meet the mods of ask-firefox, ask-internetexplorer, ask-safaripony, ask-google-pony, and ask-skype-pony, so it was really fun. I know the dA websurfer ponies and tumblr browser ponies are different (for example on tumblr IE and Firefox both hate me, IE has a dirty mouth, and Safari is super nice and friendly) but it would be great if we can shoot some ideas around to make things better. Right now I really have nothing so I'm animating this  www.youtube.com/watch?v=airT-m... with Chrome as Abbott and IE as Costello :b

Haha, no worries, they're quite a bit smaller in the frames on DA then the 'full size' originals anyway. Think on DA the frames are 900 pixels wide but the original comic is 1024 pixels and the original artwork is up to 1920 pixels...

Hmm, I thought maybe you didn't spot the "Cutie Mark" because it's too small to see clearly in the comics... but I guess not!
