Thou Shall Not Pass
Oh autumn, you crazy gal. Do you guys prefer the lighter or darker talk bubbles for Autumn? Here’s an example of the lighter. I can’t decide, let me know what YOU think. :]

i see no broken add in chrome.also, lighter.
Nor do I. Isn’t Chrome wonderful? :)I like the lighter bubble color, too.
It’s not a browser specific problem or anything. What happens is a skycraper ad is loading in the leader board space… which means the ad shows up over the comic every so often. I only use chrome too and I get it about half the time I come to my site. :/ Glad though that you two aren’t getting it. Maybe the ad company just hates me specifically. hahaIs there any particular reason you like the lighter talk bubbles?
I’ve never seen that ad.
I found it and got rid of it… thank god.
look better. andit fits the overall theme. everyone else as light colors, so if autumn didn’t she’d stand out…you know…more than she does.
You can go either path and it doesn’t really come down to what we want but what you want to express. The lighter bubbles appear much the same way as the standard characters and it gives her a feel as if she were one of the regulars. This is fine if she is going to become a standard character. The darker bubbles differentiate her from the others; they give her added emphasis for an otherwise temporary character. I don’t know your plans for this gal but I do believe that lighter equates to permanence and darker to the temporary.
It’s interesting, you aren’t the only person who brought up that same point. I wouldn’t have thought of it that way on my own. Since more than one person has brought this up to my attention I guess I’m gonna have to take it into consideration. Thanks for voicing your opinion on the matter. :]Btw, the hammerspace also has darker bubbles… I did that since he sort of has evil intent.. Autumn isn’t evil, but she’s sort of on the darker side of the stories spectrum as well. Hence my turmoil over it. Both Autumn and Hammerspace are long term characters…. so I’m wondering if the color in the long run will matter if I just stick with one way or the other?
…probably just over thinking it. haha
I like that the darker bubbles are easier to distinguish from the background. Most of the colors you use tend to be on a similar scale, but the darker bubbles pop out more. Though that might not be a good thing. I’m not sure yet.The sloths are sooooooooooooo… adorable.
Let me know if your opinion changes… I’m sorta leaning towards the darker bubbles… cos i sorta feel like it fits her more? Also, MUCH easier to read (at least for me).
I prefer the lighter bubble. The dark one seems a bit too contrasted and as such jumps out from the page. Also for whatever reason, to me it appears she is yelling with the dark bubble.
Interesting point (the fact that it makes you feel like she’s yelling). I agree with the contrast.. but thats actually why I’m playing with the darker bubbles… i feel like the like colored bubbles make it a bit harder to read… as if what she’s saying is just blending in too much. Maybe I’m wrong, but on my eyes its far easier to read what she’s saying with the dark bubbles.Thanks for your thoughts. :]
I see that the color of the box is the same color as her jacket (well, similar), but I also feel that the darkness of the box and perceived yelling also give off an appearance of darkness or malevolence in the character’s personality. However, the way you have portrayed her leads me to think that she is just bold and is expressing her quirky and individualistic persona. As such, for me the dark bubble seems to not really fit the character for generic conversation. Perhaps that could be her “pissed off” bubble color or something along those lines.Also, if I may be so bold. Have you considered having character (or mood) specific fonts? Fonts can be suggestive when properly used. In this last comic, Cadence’s “uhhhhh I’ll pass” line looks great with that font, while I think that more neutral and/or frustrated conversation (the first box she’s complaining about the cost) don’t flow as well with the haphazard, irregularly shaped (and goofy/laid back) font -as I would describe it-
whelp, sorry about the monologue but you know how us whales get when you get us talking
I think I’ll try to play with the current lighter color for her normal talking, but during fight scenes do the darker one while shes casting magic stuff.I’ve been playing here and there with changing the fonts… it’s just not something i ALWAYS think about, heh.
Don’t sweat it, I appreciate you taking the time to voice your opinion. :]
magic?! SPOILER ALERT : DFlying whales 1 : Artist 0
OH HAI DER!I prefer lighter too. That way it’s not overprowering Cadence text.
What do you think of a tone in between? As to not over power the other character… but also to make her talk bubbles a bit easier to read? her bubbles in the softer color are the hardest (for me anyway) to read, and that’s why I’m considering changing them.
lol suit yourself that was funny the crunch part made me wince tho
hahaha, yup, did the same for me when I thought of the joke. Cadence’s reaction is sort of the way I feel about it every time i look at it. like “durp, wut?”
I like the darker. It sets her apart, but only a little, and it seems to be more of an in-character thing. The dark bubbles seem to display that she’s an exceptionally dark-minded character and a spaz even by LAWLS standards.
I completely agree with you, this was one of the main reasons I was thinking of changing it… that and it’s easier to read because of the contrast.
Aww, Autumn was being nice. When watching you draw this, I thought she was brandishing the cookie wang in her face threateningly.Had Cadence accepted the share, that would be slightly odd, being that it wasn’t long ago that they were trying to kill each other, only to end up walking down the street sharing a giant cookie dick.
This is how Autumn tries to make friends, with penises.
I’ve tried making friends using my penis, it doesn’t work, I just end up being a dick to everybody.
lol
It’s a good thing that penis isn’t real; otherwise, “CRUNCH” would be followed by some pretty agonizing screams.
And a big mess, lots and lots of mess =_=
D:
not to mention a guys worst case scenario for the rest of his life D:
SERIOUSLY!
Careful she’s a biter!
Not the good kind of biting either! D:
Well that explains why Joseph isn’t in this one, he clearly fainted after seeing Autumn bite that cookie.
Hahaha… what guy wouldn’t with that sort of imagery running thru their head.
Odd…Today’s Sheldon actually spoofed the LOTR scene in question.
Bwwhhaaa?
I prefer the Darker ones.
Mr. Dark Heart,I see you prefer the darker side of things in general. Especially with a name like that. I like the way you think, sir.
Thanks for your thoughts. :]
I wish we were all like sloths. there would be no wars, or anything really. We’d all just sit around ans be lazy. Of course nothing would get done and society would collapse, but we’d be so chill we wouldn’t care.also, i like the darker bubbles, they fit Autumn nicely. however, if you stick with the dark, I would suggest lightening the text just a tad.
How bought i lighten the bubbles a little bit?
the lighter works better. despite how well it really does fit her characters persona, the lighter color fits the consistency of everyone else’s speach bubbles.
I’m starting to agree.. but I’m still torn.
“…I’m still torn.” Sounds like someone had a good time. :)
…or a really bad time?
Mr Joey sir will you do me a faocr and check outhttp://egestacomics.com/its an indy anny spoof comic that i think is up your allyhumor wise
Thanks for the link, I’ll check it out. You know in the comment section where it asks for a URL if you put your sites name there your name becomes a hyper link for your site. It’s a casual advertisement that way. :]
Aaaactually, Lazy J was being very kind and recommending our site. For which we thanks him greatly. The upshot is that I have now found yours.See kids? Just like Sesame Street said, sharing is good for everyone!
penis cake wheres the vagoo?
is a vagoo like a vagina?
While I prefer the color of the lighter bubble, I find the darker one slightly easier to read, and it also seems to fit the scenes she’s in better.Perhaps use alternate bubble colors depending on tone and inflection?
Yeah… i feel like I’m gonna do the darker during fight scenes.. lighter when she’s normally talking.
Oh, sweet mother of god. I can now imagine her chomping down on a man’s third leg. Ow.I don’t even have a penis and that’s scary.
Also, I agree with Warrior. Lighter bubbles for speech like this, where there isn’t really much to do with fighting and furry slaying, and darker bubbles for when she gets murderous.
I think that’s how I’m gonna do it from here on out then. :] Thanks for your opinion.
That kind of hurt me… :[
I think that would be a normal reaction for any guy. :]
