Author Topic: I want to die a blockhead - comic based off blockland  (Read 2255 times)


What is this?
This is a comic I making, it is based off before the shadows and shaders update BUT it is a complete made up story. I want the reader to put themselves into a blocklander and his tale before the shadows and shaders update, the story involves war and I will make it sad. If I can ever finish this then I will make the ending sad

what software/editor are you using to make this?
As of now I am using MS paint, if you want me to use a different program you can suggest that by replying to the topic. Effects are being done by using emitters in blockland, all scenes you will see are made by me (Not the addons and bricks, the builds) and are being made within blockland. They are being made in mini empires style, if you don't like mini empires or you don't like the style I am making in it then I can't really do anything about that but I will make interesting builds so it doesn't bore you or anything

what is the Plot of the story?
A blocklander that goes by the username Skull bone has been playing blockland since 2009 but then the shadows and shaders update preview has been posted in the development board, after everyone hears about this all hell brakes loose and riots start in the maps and it turns into an all big civil war involving groups and players. Skull bone then tells the tale and it shows you what Skull bone has to go through during the war and he eventually is enlisted into the Terrain army because they randomly picked a huge amount of people to fight in the war.

Characters
Important characters:

(fictional character) Skull bone -  The main portaganist of the story, skull bone brought blockland on august 25th in 2009. He is not a popular blocklander but enjoys everything the game has to offer.

Kompressor - The main antagonist of the story, Kompressor started his army "The dark lords of the outline" and starts a huge amount of chaos in the bedroom, slopes, kitchen and nearly all maps in blockland except from slate maps.

Kalphiter - The main Betrayer of the story, Kalphiter hosts the "blocklandishorrible" army and betrays many groups in war causing them to get killed, jailed, captured, etc.

Heerichardalking - heerichardalking is leader of the terrain army, his main goal is to completely wipe out kompressor and his army of men in order to keep terrain and maps from vanishing

(fictional character) Baston bright - Baston is the leader of the Pirate army, he also betrays many people and steals goods from people. His army is related to the Somalian pirates and has invaded over 1,500 islands in all of blockland, Baston is wanted by all groups because of this

(fictional character) Madabrey nikabob - As big as his name is, Nikabob is the leader of the African-blockland connection. Nikabob is from Nigeria the african-blockland connections main enemy is the Pirate army and have gotten in to many clashes with Kompressors army.

(fictional character) Mr Icenburg - the leader of the slope army, this man is the most deadliest leader out of all groups he has too much money and power. He defends the slopes at all costs if you dare to kill him it will be nearly impossible, especially while you're in the snow...

Gaben - since blockland was in steam greenlight, Gaben wants to spectate the war and interfere with it

Groups/armies/factions of the story

The innocent civilians - these are the people who get killed by all groups, they want to stop the war

The rioters - these people riot in all city's of blockland their main objective is to steal as much stuff as possible and kill innocents

"Dark lords of the outline" the shading shadow army - Kompressors army, they will kill any innocent civilians in Maps and sometimes slate. They want to make sure that the shadow update is achieved

"Map boy rebellion" the terrain army - heerichardalkings army he wants the maps kept and wants to stop the shadow army from achieving the shadows and shaders update

Defenses of the slopes - mr icenburg's army, this is one of the most dangerous army's since it is the biggest and has a huge amount of money. They will do anything to defend the slopes from being terminated and have no relations to the terrain army

"island keepers" Blocklandian pirates - baston's pirates, they want to conquer all maps and take over blockland. They steal and kill, this makes them dangerous as well since they sell their stolen items online.

The african - blockland connection - Nikabob's army, their aim is to smuggle weapons and items into blockland. They are low targets and the strongest army out of all. Their mainly from Nigeria and Ivory coast.

"blocklandishorrible" terror group - kalphiters group they want blockland and badspot out. They are mainly terrorists as the kill anyone including the africans and slopes army.

Torrent group - these are people who have pirated blockland and given out hundreds of free keys during the war, they want to completely destroy the game. Not much is known about them

Steam - This is the Most dangerous of them all, Steam is Gaben's army since blockland is involved with steam greenlight, they are spectators of the war and interfere within it.


Can I see some work of the comic?
Of course you can:













The pics above where all Tests and samples so you can see what the comic will look like. The samples will change over time

Can I help?
I need help with addons, at the moment I need more mini empire guys (skin colors, and appearance) and their idle pose and I need some vehicles.
I can make the builds so I don't need help with that
I want to make this comic on my own because it will be difficult for me to work with someone else on this comic, sorry about that

Just going to leave one last sample here:



Yes please
Thanks.

and also does this belong in community projects or creativity because they can be confusing at some times

I'm pretty sure this would fit in Community Projects, so you're good to go :).

I'll work on this some more, later. Thanks for the feedback Naked human

Holy stuff yes

Loving this so far


Oops, accidentally hit the no option in the poll. I actually think you should keep up the good work.

Do you want me to use MS paint, or paint.net? I prefer ms paint better since I know how to use it very well and when I use pant.net it is really complicated. The reason why? because I want to add effects, such as shooting, blood, explosions, etc. Some of the effects will be done from in game emitters but some effects will needed to be added in via editor.

Can you incorporate players?

Can you incorporate players?
I am most definitely going to add badspot, kompressor, ephialtes, kalphiter and heerichardalking. If you want me to add players sure I'll add more people cause I only have a few characters. Tomorrow I'll update OP and everything as well.

Right now I need help with who is going to be the leaders of the terrain and some over groups, I am going to add Jerk groups (such as tumblur's Blocklandishorrible group) and I may add myself in this.

And in most books and comics there is always a quote from a famous person at the start. Give me a quote that I could add in to do with war or change, just something that sounds good for this type of project

entire op updated. More stuff to come but I really need more people to be interested in this

Okay so now I need help with addons really, does anyone know where I can find more mini empire stuff? Such as planes and animals? I want to try and add some more details in this, because I like how this is going. And I need different skin typed mini empire dudes, who made these again?

here are some more samples before I start the project. I really need some more people interested in this otherwise I don't think I will do this :(





The last 2 where in first person, I am testing that as well.

Comics/Action good, building skill is better and not as lazy as mine, grammar is okay but could be better.
