Should they be insured? What if the Big Thumb accidentally squashes them? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

The EmoticonS are rethinking their concert with the Big Thumb, at least until some safety issues can be worked out. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :yes

the hull is more or less done. i only need to add the half deck bannister, stairs, the second half of the skeg, bowsprit and stern outrigger mounts, belaying racks, the steps for the fore and mizzen, the rudder, and a low bannister for the fore deck. also, i might have to redesign the bulwarks. right now, the main shrouds could get in the way of the midship's oars and guns. you don't have a clue what i'm talking about, do you? also, the step of the main mast is a bit more flimsy than i'd like. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> i think the stays and shrouds should fix that though. that's what they're for, after all.

I hope it doesn't blow up at testing when it's finished. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

blow up? huh? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> it's a ship! my cannon's already long done. there should be a topic with pictures of the thing floating around. just check my profile. however, i do think that this thing, with a little work, could float. right now it's a leaky is a seive, but i can fix that. it's a whole lot lighter than the santa maria. thing is, i'll have to extend the hull below the waterline. otherwise it'll just sit way too low in the water. it doesn't look too bad for a hull built from scratch.

the list of webcomics just goes on and on and on. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/8q.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=" :8q

" border="0" alt="8q.gif" /> found another one! this one's already finished, being more than 750 pages long. in terms of art, it's coloured and looks exactly like one of the higher-end disney films. truly amazingly done, despite some anatomical flaws here and there once in a while. the stroy is one of those classical heroes' tales, but no real clichÃ©'s. it feels like a completely new kind of story. interested?

i could help it out a little. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/happy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="^_^" border="0" alt="happy.gif" />

here's the first episode:
<a href="http://inverloch.seraph-inn.com/viewcomic.php" target="_blank">http://inverloch.seraph-inn.com/viewcomic.php</a>

this is certainly not the biggest. Megatokyo clocks in at more than 1100 and's still counting. this one has a pretty interesting tale. one of the later main characters looks almost exactly like Iya, funnily enough. that was a surprise. the artist has started a second comic, but i haven't looked at it yet. i think that if i keep on following all these comics my mind will go into knots with all those different storylines. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

By the way has anyone watched some of Angry Video Game Nerd's videos yet? There's some pretty darned funny stuff.

well, megatokyo isn't coloured, of course. that makes a lot of difference. besides, it's a commercial product. the episodes on the internet are the pencil drawings of the actual buyable, coloured version.

i've taken a look at the second comic. it seems like it's taking place at least 700 years after the first one, because there are some references. this one has a victorian setting. even the way some of the people speak fits exactly in the timeframe, and firearms excist now. the art has improved even further. a lot of research has gone into making it in terms of clothing and architecture.

here. i hope the site supports linking, because this is an excellent example.
