Part 4: You're looking at it




Just saying, there is a very, very, very small chance that some of you may be offended by panel 11, if that is the case, then, errr...... Sorry?

Now, with that out of the way, part 4! This was going to be a bit longer, but oh well...

That last panel, was such a chore.....

BB-K In reply to Photonicsoup [2012-05-10 12:15:09 +0000 UTC]

I don't know and I fear highly unlikely as there are tons of units to research, and worse, to model them up, look at the polygons on the models of the game itself, now those are pure qualify work and ponify the game, just don't work together.

Rarity's diamond cutie marks are the best shots and you picked the right faction for Sweetie.

Xeregon In reply to ??? [2012-05-10 08:08:02 +0000 UTC]

Wow, this...is amazing. The set-up, the randomness reminiscent of a Simpsons plot...just pure genius. And even the distribution of cutie marks makes sense: Applebloom's talent is construction, like Terrans, Sweetie Belle's talent is singing...okay, not as sensible, but pylons kinda act like magic gems, so close enough.

As for Scootaloo...there's a pun in here about her going viral, but I'm not sure where. I suppose with her small wings giving her speed on the scooter, she's kinda like an equine speedling ;3

Photonicsoup In reply to Xeregon [2012-05-10 08:23:33 +0000 UTC]

Something like that yeah. And thanks, I'm glad you liked it! The main reason for sweetie belle being protoss is just that they seem a bit more stylistic and aesthetically built up than the other races (Not in terms of character design, more just in terms of how their race seems to value appearance more than the others.) And sweetie belle's hair is sort of, more built up than the others, since it has the curls, rather than applebloom's, which is essentially just blobs, or scootaloo's which is sort of "zerg shaped".
Also, I couldn't really see her particularly liking the zerg. Or something

Xeregon In reply to Photonicsoup [2012-05-10 08:50:56 +0000 UTC]

Indeed. As that monk in that one obscure movie said: "Enlightenment is in the small things." (American Shaolin)
Little details like that feel like a reward to the person who spots them (like a lot of background silliness in the actual show), and I suspect people pointing them out makes the artist feel better because it feels like it's not an effort in vain. Definitely something to keep doing, if you have the time and energy for it.

Speaking of detail, muffins are balanced in Starcraft, as long as they don't rush into a Batterling Ram *shot for pun*

Photonicsoup In reply to Xeregon [2012-05-10 09:22:10 +0000 UTC]

I personally thought that pun was rather glorious!

And yeah, there is a lot of small things hidden in the comic, most of them are just minor edits in the screenshots, such as dublin having its own starcraft league, or the google equestria. But they are mostly just guff...

Oh, I remember it...

The installing, updating etc. was a pure nightmare and it nearly made me to strungle kitten, but after everything was done, it was worth it. Starcraft 2 is just AWESOME (after Civilization 2 my favourite game of all time)!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Photonicsoup In reply to GamesGremlin [2012-05-10 07:58:41 +0000 UTC]

the worst part was, I actually had to re download it to get some of the screenshots, and that whole "7 hours remaining" thing, TOTAL BULL!! It took me almost 18 hours. My internet is made of wood. On the good side, this gave me an opportunity to accurately recreate my facial expression when I realised for the first time that after the download and install, came the longest update process I had ever seen...
