This isn't what's advertised in my sig.

 

But, yeah, I started a new comic series. This one is based on a Fire Emblem VRMMORPG (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) that teleports its players to the Dark World, where dead people from Fire Emblem, Legend of Zelda, and a few other series reside. Thus begins the only-half-serious webcomic inspired by an excellent, if Shadamy, half-serious comic by some guy whose name I don't remember (I only found the page once... :().

 

These comics are twice as long as my old Pokémon Mystery Dung comics, weighing in at eight panels and a full 600 by 1200 pixels. Hence, if you have an 800x600 resolution, the whole comic cannot be displayed on screen at once. Dial-up connectors will need to beware the large size. Other than that, though, the fonts, background sources, et cetera are exactly the same as before. That also means that the image format, Portable Network Graphics or .png, is exactly the same, so if your browser doesn't support .png, get Firefox NAO.

 

This comic series is rated T, PG-13, et cetera for:

•sexual themes

•language

•animated blood

•fantasy violence

 

[spoiler=Season I: The Wrath of Valter]

[spoiler=Chapter I-1: Fire Emblem Simulation Program Spectacular]

[spoiler=Comic]

[spoiler=Comments]

1. Remember the überness of Feather Edges? IT'S BACK, if only for one panel.

2. There is exactly one original character in this comic.

3. Since there are going to be a ton of recolors anyway, I guess I ought to warn you that all the battle-style sprites will be, true to the game, recolors.

4. The above will hold true until an unspecified time at which I can a) do the edits for all the original characters and b) write in a non-promotion transformation.

 

 

 

 

[spoiler=Chapter I-2: Mysterious Grampappy]

[spoiler=Comic]

fedcomic002qa9.png

 

 

[spoiler=Comments]

1. The Feather Edges are FEATHERYER.

2. Expect to see the above in a comic if I have nothing better to do with the plot than break the Fourth Wall.

3. The off-screen character is not Davok's cameo. Now you know who it is.

 

 

 

 

[spoiler=Chapter I-3: Valter's Mêlée]

[spoiler=Comic]

fedcomic003mc5.png

 

 

[spoiler=Comments]

1. This is the first serious comic.

2. The damage and accuracy formulae are exactly the same as in-game.

3. Risa moved innocuously off-screen between comics; she obviously can't face a Level 13 Dragoknight.

 

 

 

 

[spoiler=Chapter 1-4: Critical Hit!]

[spoiler=Comic]

fedcomic004oh8.png

 

 

[spoiler=Comments]

1. This will be a running gag, so get used to it.

2. Critical hits will always be long and dramatic like that.

 

 

 

 

[spoiler=Chapter 1-5: Dead as a Doorknob]

[spoiler=Comic]

fedcomic005.png

 

 

[spoiler=Comments]

1. Yes, they are really in Asgard.

2. Renovations! Thus far, I've just changed the font from AnimeAce 2.0 BB to Lafayette Comic Pro.

3. All-caps is meant to reproduce the effect of bolded words in comic books, as there is now a difference between capital and lowercase lettering.

4. Soon, those custom sprites will be coming, along with face sprites.

5. Possible future renovations include outlines on speech bubbles (probably not; it's tedious enough as is) or FE-style speech bubbles (again, probably not).

6. Ah, and look forward to Leila, Frederick (Franz/Forde's father, for those who don't know), Davok/Calculant, Kyubi/Rae, and the FIRST ANIMATED COMIC!! in the next five installments.

 

 

 

 

[spoiler=Chapter I-6: Jeigan-B-Gone]

[spoiler=Comic]

fedcomic006.png

 

 

[spoiler=Comments]

1. The cameos are fighters whose provided names are the names with which they applied for the Fire Emblem Simulation Program Spectacular, which is apparently an electric chair.

2. The unnamed characters are Azura Kyubi/Rae Valentina, Queen of Spades; and Frederick Romage, father of Franz and Forde Romage and former Knight of Renaïs.

3. There is still dispute as to how Jeigan/Jagen should be spelled amongst the inhabitants of Asgard and Hylas, so expect to see lots of variants.

4. Depromotion can only happen once every five battles, and a thief has to spend their turn with no allies within three spaces of them in order to pull it off.

 

 

 

 

[spoiler=Chapter I-7: In Your Face! Part 1]

[spoiler=Comic]

fedcomic007.png

 

 

[spoiler=Comments]

1. Note that all mugshots will be, in some way, customized, with the exception of characters that were in-game to begin with.

2. Shana's mug is probably the least original I'll come up with; however, that's for a very good, plot-related reason.

3. Yes, they do have stats. Like I said before, battle is conducted as if this were an FE game.

4. If a level-up shows a stat +1, that means that one is added to the previous value. For example, Hector now has 8 STR and 6 SPD.

 

 

 

 

[spoiler=Chapter I-8: In Your Face! Part 2]

[spoiler=Comic]

fedcomic008.png

 

 

[spoiler=Comments]

1. Every level these guys have will be at least decent, except for crap people like Marcus.

2. I had intended to animate this, but I rely on layers too much for comic production; besides, it would be in a different file format.

3. Yes, all of the magic will be Slayers-based; incantations are either in Elfpanese or Latin, with Latin representing the stronger, Dark-magic spells.

4. IDK why I did Hell Blast in Elfpanese, now that I've said that.

5. I forgot to add blood. >.<

 

 

 

 

[spoiler=Chapter I-9: When Zombie n00bs RP...]

[spoiler=Comic]

fedcomic009.png

 

 

[spoiler=Comments]

1. Behold the wrath of the n00b Empire's second-in-command, lolperson78!

2. The n00b King, that soldier guy, is even stronger, FYI.

3. The FEATHER EDGES OF EPIC will be used whenever multiple people are shouting at once.

4. If your RPing characters are anything like lolperson78 with his OPd Stone equipped, please be aware of your n00bishness.

 

 

 

 

[spoiler=Chapter I-10: We All Fall Down]

[spoiler=Comic]

fedcomic010.png

 

 

[spoiler=Comments]

1. Using Slayers magic gave me a curious loophole I just had to exploit.

2. The FEATHER EDGES OF EPIC are making regular occurrences.

3. One guess as to the first support conversation.

4. I put this thing up post-completion in record time. O,x

 

 

 

 

[spoiler=Chapter I-11: Accidentally Perverse Per Murphy]

[spoiler=Comic]

fedcomic11.png

 

 

[spoiler=Comments]

1. Muahaha. You were saying, Kyub?

2. Huzzah for the Tent Of Merlinus.

3. Feather edges are as ubiquitous as curses in this comic, despite the many, many angry people. O,x

4. No, Frederick does not have a legitimate reason to use the commodes for ten minutes.

5. The main difference between Karel and Davok is that Davok is sadomasochistic, while Karel is just sadistic.

 

 

 

 

[spoiler=Chapter I-12: Patron Saint of Blue Behemoths]

[spoiler=Comic]

fedcomic12.png

 

 

[spoiler=Comments]

1. In the game, you will have the opportunity to control Durbans. He's like Wolf from FEI/FEIII/FEXI, except that he's a Berserker rather than a Ranger/Horseman/NomadicTrooper.

2. That said, in FEXI, make Wolf a General, please.

3. There are few coincidences in my comics. Even unconnected speech bubbles rampant in early issues serve purposes.

4. I did mention that I'm making FEDoomsday as a hack game, right?

5. FYI, that cave is really a bottomless abyss.

 

 

 

 

[spoiler=Chapter I-13: Tranquille X Shana, C Support]

[spoiler=Chapter]

fedcomic013.png

 

 

[spoiler=Comments]

1. The psychopath is in luuuuuuuuuurve. Diss at your own peril.

2. Davok is only nice for two reasons: conservation of resources, and Shana.

3. Two reps to anyone who can name every reference in that reenactment.

4. Notice: when feather edges are outlined, and then repeated, they become MOAR EPICZ. And, of course, FEATHERIER.

5. Despite that delectable innuendo, she's only talking about being able to clone herself. ...Thus far.

 

 

 

 

[spoiler=Chapter I-14: Jerme and the Jermidae]

[spoiler=Comic]

fedcomic014.png

 

 

[spoiler=Comments]

1. Frame seven is EPIC.

2. Feather edges aren't in this one. Phooey.

3. On the bright side, SFX Layer showed up! Happy day!

4. Major chara count: Two out of Eight Legends, three out of nine Lords, no Enladian or Magvellian Legends, and no one from Enladis (except a mention of Sangre, though he hasn't shown up yet).

5. Interpret panel one as you will; Lyn is supposed to say the last line, though.

6. This is a serious comic, although you should already know this.

 

 

 

 

[spoiler=Chapter I-15: They're Like Weeds]

[spoiler=Comic]

fedcomic015.png

 

 

[spoiler=Comments]

1. The "Cavalier" in the first panel should be capitalized.

2. It was too chaotic to add damage, so I cut it out. Blow-by-blow:

2a. Karla does 10 damage twice; Jermides Fighter dies.

2b. Hector does 32 damage; Jermides Cavalier dies.

2c. Davok does 15 damage twice; Jermides Cavalier does 9 damage and dies.

2d. Shana does 30 damage; Jermides Fighter dies.

2e. Karla does 30 damage; Jermides Fighter dies.

3. Davok's warning is not ironic, though he is the only one who is hurt this chapter; everyone else will be harmed at some point during the next chapter.

4. The Feather Edges has returned. But he says that the light coming from the treasure chest is so bright that if he turned the camera towards it, they will explode. I mean, really. It will literally explode. As for the sunglasses, I have no idea where they came from.

 

 

 

 

[spoiler=Chapter I-16: They're, Like, Losing]

[spoiler=Comic]

fedcomic16.png

 

 

[spoiler=Comments]

1. I have an excuse; I've been in Boston for the last week.

2. As a pilgrimager, mind, not a tourist.

3. The scrying glare was a pain in the ass; had to do two speech layers.

4. A friend and I are doing a much more serious, drawn webcomic soon. It'll be on my SmackJeeves account (Supreme Gamesmaster Yddisac, obviously) alongside this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[spoiler=Credits]

INSPIRATION

 

Seraphim Swordmaster -- For the Fire Emblem Online Comic, which served as inspiration.

The comic author mentioned above -- For the comic, which served as inspiration.

 

SPRITES

 

ulf2 and Gamenerd Advance -- For the Desert Palace Zone background used in Chapters I-1 through 1-4.

Skylights -- For the Angel Island Intro background used in Chapters I-6 through I-9, and for the Ice Cap Zone background used in Chapter I-11.

Enterbrain -- For the Hell Blast SFX.

Fire Emblem Planet -- For all uncredited sprites appearing in this comic.

 

SOFTWARE

 

Feather Edges Tool -- For making über things like thought bubbles and *LE GASPS!!* possible.

Path Tool -- For the ability to make slightly non-crappy speech bubbles.

GIMP 2.2 -- For being a free utility upon which layers can be accessed, and serving as a medium for comic production.

 

 

 

[spoiler=Cameos]

As in PMDung, I will take cameo appearances from YCM members. However, it's a bit different this time, as you have far less control over your cameo. For example, the personality, role, et cetera are entirely out of your hands. For these, you do the exact same thing as Shana in I-1: provide only the character name and class.

The personality of a cameo will be derived from the member who submits said cameo; for example, should ~Lord Davok~ apply, his character would be a Karel-esque psychopath, while if Eternal Zodiac were to submit a character, said character would be an irrational optimist who makes liberal use of hyperboles.

 

 

 

 

[spoiler=The Spreading Flame Mailing List]

If you like this comic and want to be alerted whenever a new issue comes out, you can apply for the Spreading Flame mailing list. This is quite possibly the best-organized publicity attempt I've ever orchestrated, so pay attention.

 

In order to join the Spreading Flame Mailing List, one must PM another member on this site who has neither posted on the thread nor voted in the poll, instruct said member to read and at least vote on the comic, and link said member here. Then, simply post which member you referred, and you will be added to the Spreading Flame.

[spoiler=Spreading Flame Members]

BE THE FIRST TO SPREAD THE FLAME AND RECEIVE +1 REPUTATION. :mrgreen:

ACK.

 

My file for Chapter I-5 got deleted, and it's a dialogue... It'll be up today, though.

 

EDIT: Chapter I-5 is U-P. I-6 might be up tonight if I feel like it.

My above message would be accurate if it were posted now.

 

Just as I was finishing the foreground, the GIMP froze, and now I've lost all my work. It'll still be up today, if not tomorrow (last Moon of the Ranger day, yayz!).

 

Also, bump.
