I am not sure if I mentioned this before, but I found a shadowrun comic during my internet travels. I found it very enjoyable, so here, share the joy that is my collected culture.
Page one (http://kitsune.rydia.net/comics/bulletproof/sr0101.html)
The first three comics are black and white, but they are awesome in color.
-
Where did that guy learn how to draw elves?? Our eards don't look like that! I think someone is overcompensating a bit. ;)
Gabriel
-
I think she learned to draw elves in her other two comics, here. (http://kitsune.rydia.net/comicsindex.html)
-
Well, my ears STILL don't look like that.
Gabriel
-
Maybe it's SURGE modified elves. . .
I mean Kitsune is a Fox shaman with a tail and fangs. . .
Failing that, they're foreigners. . . and they're taking your jorbs!
-
Uh, the comic has some heavy anime influence, so the girl has fox ears and tail.
Yeah, I read it for the last little bit before she stopped doing it, but it's great artwork. Her art these days (she still draws) is much better, but she said that she's not drawing characters she doesn't own the rights to anymore. So no more Shadowrun webcomic.
Does anyone know of any others?
-kv
-
I made it to page 8 and gave up...but it was pretty good...
-
You made it to page 8? The thing is only like 14 pages long total.
Bad Krazi. You go back and finish your webcomic!
-kv
-
It's 71 pages. And the fox thing is just the artist's thing. She does that in all her comics. Besides which, it's on the internet. Everything on the internet has anime influences.
Besides, wasn't there a chunck of flavor text in one of the SR manuals/sourcebooks that had an interview with a character undergoing SURGE. I think its year of the comet. They have cat people, nekos. So foxes, sure, why not?
-
Yeah, the girl went from being a bible-thumper to a porn star when she SURGE'd. You gotta love a woman with real claws... OUCH!
Gabriel
-
You know KV I was gonna go back and read the comic until Curris said it was 71 pages long...I don't know if I'd be entertained enough to stick through 71 pages...
-
I'm waiting for someone to do a non-anime SR comic, but I don't think it's going to happen. :(
Gabriel
-
Oooh! I have one of those too! Let me rack my brain!
-
I hate anime.
Maybe they are a poodle/ elf crossbreed she has going...
-
Uh... didn't I just say that I was thinking of doing a SR-webcomic? I have some anime influence, but it's more Akira than Escaflowne. A lot more. Or did I say that in the other thread?

Lead Salad (http://leadsalad.com/viewcomic.php?id=1)
This is black and white, but very cyberpunky, SRish. Manga influenced page layout with slanty boxes to hold the art, but no sweatdrops or other anime shtick. Very graphic at times. You'll enjoy.
And this is just to inform you that I can link you to any comic on the internet. . .
-
That was an awesome 15 minutes of reading.
Perhaps Wizids already had a Cease and Desist party, and didn't invite me?
-kv
-
Hey, any press is good press, right?
Gabriel
-
Short answer is no. But be happy being happy!
Ignorance is bliss and all that!!!
-kv
-
Ignorance is only bliss until it kills you.
Gabriel
-
Yeah, but then you're dead, and bliss doesn't matter.
-kv
-
So true...
-
You know, that's not exactly a good selling point for me.
Gabriel
-
I just wanted to say something that's all...but it sorta has a point, if ignorance is bliss, but then it gets you killed, then technically it wouldn't matter cuz you'd be dead...sorta makes sense...
-
If you say so, chummer. Personally, I'd rather have the long life than the very brief, blissfull idiocy. And since I am such a horrible speller, I think I already have enough idiocy. :-\
Gabriel
-
Long and healthy life outweighes the short lived blissful life any day in my book. I was simply agreeing that in an ironic fashion, it makes sense.
-
What you say is very logical, captain. . .
Ignorance is bliss,
but knowledge is power!
And the more you know,
the more you grow!
-
"Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker."
-Willy Wonka
-
NO! We are NOT starting that kind of Qutotation One-Upsmanship" in this thread. Bad, Kid_Vid! Bad!
Gabriel
-
Don't be jealous that I got to say it and you didn't. ;D
-kv
-
Sorry, chumer, but I don't really go around quoting Willie Wonka. Especially in public.
Gabriel
-
Why not? He's as likely to be viable as quoting Thoreau, Shakespeare, or Moore. Plus, you get to say "Dandy."
Don't be hatin'.
-kv
-
Dandy. That certainly sums you up, chummer. ;)
Gabriel
-
Only one of us is a little poncy elf, omae.
-kv
-
Do I need to make some popcorn while I watch this grown up version of the seventh grade diss contest?
-
You think this is good, you should have seen Ruski and me getting into the "your momma..." jokes. They were inspired!
Gabriel
-
Grown men with nothing better to do...I LOVE IT!
-
Ah... It was a sight to read. Damn I miss Ruski.... :'(
Gabriel
-
Does he not have any free time anymore to post?
-
He left the place he was working when they found out he was planning to quit and go into the CHP, so he was doing side work, and then some temp stuff, and finally got a job that took pretty good care of him doing tech support calls for a computer part manufacturing company.
It doesn't really matter- he goes into the CHP Academy on April 1st.
-kv
-
Sweet...I'd like to have a job like that. Maybe one day.
-
Uhhh... the tech support job he has is going to be open as of April 1st. So if you really want it, I'd reccommend sending your resume to Ruski.
If you want to email him, let me know and I'll PM you his gmail address.
-kv
-
As much as I'd love too...you live way to far away for me to be able to take it. But thank you for keeping an eye out for me.
-
I'm waiting for someone to do a non-anime SR comic, but I don't think it's going to happen. :(
Gabriel
ive been trying to get one started, but I blame both my ADD and my lack of faith in myself
heh
-
Well that sucks, chummer. I say put it out anyway and bugger the consequences. Besides, with so much content on the matrix, if you don't like what you produce, it can be lost in the datascape. So, no wories.
Gabriel
-
Well, all of the comics I read have one thing in common- people kept doing them. So if I start a comic, it's going to be a long-time thing. And the more you draw, the better your drawings get (after two years of drawing every morning, I was a pretty decent hand, and now, after five years without picking up the pencil except occaisonally, I suck again)
But I'm going to do it.
-kv
-
Just hang in there...
-
Yeah, and put me in the comic. ;)
Gabriel
-
I don't even want to draw the things you would do. ;D
-kv
-
LOL, touche'.
Gabriel
-
Wait I want in the comic!
-
NO! I called it first! So neener-neener-neener!!
Gabriel
-
Oh c'mon!
-
Uhhh.. before you all get too excited to be in the comic, I should let you know that the idea behind the comic is to make fun of all the dumb things runners do (as told by our main characters, the game version of KV and Archy, the generic rigger).
I'll basically be recapping every horrible stupid thing my group has ever done.
I can include you, if you really want... but it won't be in a flattering light.
-kv
-
I fully support Gabe's bid o be in the comic. Posssibly BornKrazy's too.

Gee, thanks. You flatscan. Of course, a sense of humor is a damn good thing in this world, so I say go for it, Kid_Vid. I can laugh at myself. Of course, it's hard to hear it when so many others are too. :-\
Gabriel
-
I could swallow my pride for a few kicks, I mean I'm constantly raggin on Gabe, so I guess everyone can rag on me from time to time.
-
Hmmm... I know what Gabe's character looks like, but what does yours look like, Krazi?
I'll draw you into the background of one of the first strips- you two will be talking about how having a cyberarm cuts into your masterbation time. ;D
-kv
-
LOL!!!! Now THAT'S appropriate.
Gabriel
-
yea really.....LOL
-
Hey anyone can do drama, but comedy is hard. If you offer to let someone be laughed at in public, you are offering them immortal fame. That's more than free promotion, that's showbiz!
-
Hey now, you better watch it, Nike, or you may end up in that discussion as well. ;)
Gabriel
-
lol, thanks for the advice..... ;)
-
nha nike and zone would be the pin up girls
-
There we go!
-
Who's the token comic relief? And the reocurring villain who just won't quit?
-
No reoccuring villian- this is just two main characters (roommates) who have bad run after bad run.
Kid_Vid used to be a joke character in our games- he would show up all the time, trying to work straight jobs to pay the rent, and always had runners messing his life up.
Now that inside joke means that I have a main character and all sorts of plot stuff, and I can make a funny shadowrun comic.
-kv
-
Sounds good!
-
nha nike and zone would be the pin up girls
He only says that because he knows he can flatten most of my drones before any serious damage is done to him. I wonder if I can attach a rail gun to a dobie...
-
Jinxed Comic (http://getjinxed.net/) is another good infiltration/bountyhunting comic. Some shadowrunny elements to it and the art is enjoyable.

Now Zone, don't you realize that even a troll can be taken down if you hit him with some nanites? Or you could even use a dozen drones carrying some Neurostun X or Green Ring 8. Tsk, tsk, tsk, you , my dear rigger, are losing your touch. :P
Gabriel
-
Not so. I like big drama, and nanites et al are so underplayed. Railguns much more cinamagraphic
-
Yeah... no one goes "OOOooohhh!" if you hit someone with a nanite. But if you hit them with a railgun, you get the appropriate response.
-kv
-
A railgun would be a bit painful I think!
-
Not at all, good sir. If aimed right, you wouldn't feel a thing. . .
Passerbys might though, so keep your collateral damage restricted to strangers you don't know or care about. . .
-
That's how I wanna go out, painless and quick!
