so in the irc a bunch of us decided we wanted to make another comic story project. we sort of tried this a million years ago and it was going pretty well before it crashed, but tba's a pretty different place now so i'm down to give it a shot again
1. the idea/guidelines:
* "collaborative" tba comic
* we're going to do a "main" plot, which will be passed around from person to person, and people can also make their own branch plots whenever they want. that way, people who don't want to wait for their turn can expand the story, and people who don't want to commit to making their own stories alone can join in on the passaround. anything goes
* you can take this as seriously as you want to and have fun with it, but just use a few rules as guidelines:
- the challenge here is to keep the plot going forward. you can tell the passaround story (and obviously any other stories you make) however you want, but the minimum level of seriousness we should have is just "don't derail the plot". otherwise have fun son
- the deadline for each pass for the passaround comic is currently 3 days. that means from the time the person before you finishes and you accept the pass, you have 3 days to get it done. deadline extensions could be acceptable but let's try to not do that too much without good reason
- people can work together on their parts as long as they stay within the other rules. so artists and writers can team up in any way they want
- for the most part if you're gonna make a character, at least try to contribute to the comic somehow as either an artist or a writer
2. theme:
* EDIT: basic setting we decided on (how all of the characters know each other) is going to be a support group "for the gifted". this doesn't mean the comic has to always take place there, because that would be really boring. (spoilers: the support group is actually run by some rich assholes who want to eradicate people with aforementioned powers/gifts before they get in control of their powers and realize they could take over the world)
* people can have "powers (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StockSuperpowers)" or just general aptitudes/skill themes. try to pick at least one or the other
* generally, we decided that characters are going to be somewhat based on our tba personas. take that however you want
3. SIGNUPS:
--include some background info on your character (name etc), their power/aptitude/whatever and a basic drawing of their design. if you don't draw, ask around and see if someone else wants to! (if not we'll figure something out.)

True story
(https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thebackalleys.com%2Fdump%2Ffiles%2F304%2F468J4h_tbacomshida.JPG&hash=03d59e9636a24c49f149e1a37643ac14100c0b0c)
This is "Shida" (real name unimportant). She is a tea-addict who has a bit of a snarky streak about her. She likes to play tricks using her powers, and gets flustered when asked about age and weight (like most women). Quite booksmart and isn't afraid to show it.
She first realised she had powers when she kept short-circuiting electronic devices. At first she continually had a static charge that lead to such short circuiting and accidentally shocking people she came into contact with. As her powers have grown she can now keep the static charge under order (unless highly stressed) and manipulate electricity (lightning powers pew pew) and magnetic fields (think metallic objects levitating and whatnot). She also suspects she can alter gravity/the gravitational pull of objects, and is currently trying to develop that.

her name is ink and she is tired all the time because she can't control when the ink comes out of her mouth :c
the little ink monsters (inklings) run around causing mischief and she can't control them (yet)
She likes cats and bunnies, tea, sweet pastries, and drawing!

Dilly can use her singing to manipulate people into doing whatever she is singing about, whether she means to or not, she tending to sing all the time
She can also control the pitch and frequency in her voice to create sonic booms. This also allows her to stun enemies by causing them discomfort due to such high frequencies and have the ability to shatter glass.
She likes coffee, but too much milk can ruin her vocal chords, thus paralyzing her ability for a brief moment.
also i'm willing to draw and write and be in the pass and stuff!

name: stu/sader or stusader
powers: he has superhuman agility and reflexes i guess. i'll probably add something else to him during my turn.
i don't want him to be able to run ridiculously fast or anything so let's say a weakness of his is that he gets tired very easily.

i think we're past the phase where making fun of someone who's an established prick is "feeding the trolls". and put isn't even a troll, he's just a really agressively rude manbabby.

As already done, I'd like to help out as a writer since I can't help out visually
Name: SHADOW FOX II
Abilities: Frequency, Stealth, Vehicles, Karate
Weaknesses: No supernatural abilities, bad music, being without headphones
I rather enjoy seeing what people think of me and how I look, like G3no's, but for a tl;dr desciption
[spoiler]
* afro
* vest, headphones, scarf, sunglasses (be creative tbh)
* always color coordinated with clothes
- uses frequency manipulation to his advantage, whether it's small quakes and shockwaves to chair massages and washing dishes
- sonic booms and waves and the like are a few of his frequency based attacks
- stealth; naturally quick and quiet, but with the use of his headphones, he can negate sound and the like
- since he has no supernatural abilities, he gets around by being good with vehicles n tech, land, air and sea (see: Batman)
- all those old Jackie Chan and martial arts movies resulted in him being good with karate and shiz; another way to remedy not having superpowers
So far we got (https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thebackalleys.com%2Fdump%2Ffiles%2F304%2F884jU8_swagofox2.JPG&hash=63d9936cf38b39e4d6b15eec0c9d3cde875f4c99) and (https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thebackalleys.com%2Fdump%2Ffiles%2F1876%2F333a0C_YOUNG%2520SHA.jpg&hash=2ff376f47c7dab55d1c4d9597aab6d77a6b2eb53)

MY understanding is that it starts out in a school so that our characters have a superficial reason to already know each other.
That said, it could be EASILY changed to something like a community group (oh my gosh a support group for people learning to handle their powers omg)
sev lets do the support group!!!
I'll be that one background character everyone ignores.
I will join this and be something very funny!
i like the support group idea!

yeah i kind of just assumed it would branch out from the school like sev kind of said in the first post.
also i think super powers just make things more interesting, that's all. even if it is totally cliche i don't think this will end up being the most serious comic ever anyway.
I think it might make it awkward to have it as teachers and students in that case. I think a support group puts everyone at the same level (more fun to mess around with others when they can just as easily mess you back up).
Also reposting to alert people that my placeholder for Shida has finally been filled.
I shall edit mine to fit such updates

little does armon know that im drawing him as a fat stupid ass in my comic! we'll see who gets the last laugh!!
I'm in, its been a while since I've participated in something like this.
Question: Are there still teachers/mentors? Or is it going to be set to where everyone is on the same 'level' and still learning about their respective powers and such? Because I would like to make a teacher/mentor type character, but if everyone is still supposed to be learning about what they can do then I will change it as such.

Hi, I'm a friend of Psi's from another side of the internet, and I'm also really into writing and comic book writing and all that, so I would like to sign up for this very much so, but let me get this straight,
For each of the writer's in the project there has to be a character? So for each of us we can have our own character to call our own, or something?
Anyway, if I have this right, I think I'll call my character William Mookjai, cause that's Thai and i was just learning about thai history, and his ability is a psychic ability to cause people to hear the most beautiful music their mind can create, sometimes so beautiful it's almost debilitating, thus why he would be in the support group..
I think he would feel guilty to fucking up the minds of the people he's shared his gift with, almost getting them addicted to the music like a drug, but also tense because he wants to share his gift, like any talented person, and have people listen to the beautiful music he can awaken within them.
So am I god so far, is this how this works?
Edit: and yeah, lets say it fucks people up beacuse like people who are fans of music and all that, when they're effected by his musical psychic waves, all the other music they hear isn't as good and they feel weak, or unfulfilled without hearing it.

boss as hell i love it :roadrunner:
I notice no one is drawing Chad he is a very good character
i was going to but i'd just finished drawing chicken so i didn't wanna draw a muscly dude again
i will draw him eventually though mark my words
Okay i actually worked on some sort of shitty design while sketching at work and here's what i've got. This is based off of the sketches of myself i did a few months ago that chicken posted. Notable features are the half moon hair shape on the forehead, cotton balls on the heels, colored underwear, cape, and various patches over the chest shirt thingy
btw, just like me, all of his muscle is fake. It's pretty damn well defined but it's weak as shit
Name: Fluff, fluffkomix
Powers: Telekinesis
Backstory: One day he woke up and found out he had cool as shit glowing white eyes. "This shit be crunk" he thought to himself, and immediately went to reach for his camera. But before he grabbed it, it zoomed into his hand at high speeds, breaking three of his fingers! "FO SHIZZLE MAH NIZZLE" He yelled in surprise. It seemed these glowing white eyes gave him the powers of telekinesis, albeit not very easily controlled
He told his mom and she made him a shitty ass costume.
Bottom left is the back without the cape

i am very excited about this! take all the time you need chicken :3
why is chicken a duck
why is chicken a duck
why is duck a chicken
I actually thought chicken might be a pheonix-man thing cause he has a mix of bird features from different birds...

neat idea. she seems very mischievous.
also i should mention the whole blowing up the planet thing was an idea suggested by sev where my character would have one ridiculously overpowered thing that she'd never actually use cuz it would just kill everyone.
that's right it was all me
dilly's depiction of me is the most accurate, stus shidas and iiinnnkks are all very cute, this thread is turning out ok i think
phew. steady lads. we are ok

(https://thebackalleys.com/dump/files/1813/3415rM_sev.png)
screwing around with my design
his name is sev (?!?!??!). his power is KIND OF COMPLICATED, basically being the ability to infuse his very being with water molecules and collectively control bodies of water like puppets. by infusing his being with said water, he can give it "commands", which changes its molecular structure. despite having powers throughout his entire life, he's seemingly extremely inexperienced and finds really roundabout ways to use his powers for some unknown reason and is always coming up with new (occasionally stupid, sometimes clever) uses for his abilities. sev is apparently from a school called "hentai high", and dropped out for reasons he prefers not to talk about. after failing to ever get laid at said school, he's decided to come to the story's support group, hoping to meet girls with low self esteem to try and score with. he's really moody and argumentative and kind of a dick.
strengths:
- has a really useful power with a lot of versatility and possibilities, mainly in areas with a lot of water
weaknesses:
- very physically weak
- his abilities (including all steps of infusing his energy with the water, keeping control over the water and especially changing the structure of the water) each cost energy, collectively taking quite a toll on him.
- he can only use water from his surroundings and has no way of creating it, so his material source is limited. additionally, if he changes the structure of any water, it automatically evaporates after use, further limiting his water supply.
- has less control over water if it's diluted with another substance, or in another form than liquid (solid, gas), and is thus weak to extreme temperatures, especially extreme heat.

best art in thread so far
Guess it's too late to add a character at this point? I'd add just one.
It's never too late, worst case scenario is you might not make it in the first few passes...
If the first few passes ever actually occur :I
oh noooo

AHHHHHHHAHAHAHA. I think we oughta give someone else the starting chapter.

i would volunteer but i have absolutely no ideas and would rather just wait to expand on someone else's

but i still dont want to quit on this so lets make a deal: if i dont deliver my part before may 15th, you can consider me out
you can ask someone else to start i guess but then youll have two beginnings! please bear with me here D:

also, blordow makes a few cameos throughout the comic. can you find them all?!?!?!?
also also, theres still room for more characters so submit yours here
ash is the best character. all the other characters can go home

blordows actually my favorite
the TBA account will also have side comics as well as this main arc such as The Pizza Alleys (http://www.drunkduck.com/TBA_Presents_The_Pizza_Alleys/5394131/) and The Allan Saga (http://www.drunkduck.com/TBA_Presents_The_Allan_Saga/5394114/) (which will be broken up into issues/parts/etc)
right now, the continuation of the arc is still up in the air.
and now, a tba comic file dump
the original layout of concepts for tammy and sev, as well as an ash concept and a thor concept (http://www.thebackalleys.com/dump/files/71/717lW_tba%20comic%204.png)
concepts of sheepy, terry, allie-tan, and the rest of the tans (http://www.thebackalleys.com/dump/files/71/380f4W_tba%205.png)
this is the original idea for the "MY EYES/i'm sexy and i know it" picture (http://www.thebackalleys.com/dump/files/71/94dQ7_fluff%20asks%20a%20question.png)
this was the first concept of the pizza alleys (http://www.thebackalleys.com/dump/files/71/225fY4_original%20pizza%20alleys.png) instead of starting off like it did, it has them ordering the pizza. also it's the only time i've ever drawn ink awake for more than one panel
aw yea (http://www.thebackalleys.com/dump/files/71/3967Ye_tba%20girl%20club.png)
and that's it for now!
the first tba comic doujin! lookin mighty kawaii dilly ^______________^
dilly! i love these!
i wanna draw those new characters too
thank you both!
and doooo iiiiiit
I will do some stuff for this soon!!! Weeeh.
Exams finish on wednesday but I'll be 'gone' (by that I mean drunk/hungover) till the following Monday.
After that its britland and tbacomic!!
YESSSSS
chicken I think you need to tag someone or something
ok I tag sev
jake youre up get to it
We've been waiting for someone to get TAGGED all this time???

yeah you dance with dat shit
rip tba comic 2.0
Welp, it looks like someone who has an idea and will continue where we left off should just go ahead and do it
This shouldnt've stopped any side stories that were planned
maybe we could have each person do a single page and continue the story from there instead of an entire chapter? i think that would open up more opportunities. i'm guessing most people just don't have time to do an entire chapter. and i'd like to see it continue
^yes
I'd draw a terrible page
terribly funny?
Wait I have to continue the story or just draw a page with the story already figured out?
you dont have to do anything. either is fine i guess
At this point, somebody just do something
Gimme a story and I will draw it up in mspaint.
if you want a preexisting story, why not continue the story of chapter one?
i think theres enough shit to fuck around with there
he said the f word
i agree with chicken. if someone wants to pick it up where he left off, just say you're doing it and make the damn page. i would right now but i have too much work to do at the moment. but if nobody else does in a week or two then i'll hit it off
I wouldn't feel comfortable creating a story because I'm not super involved in the community and I don't understand a lot of these SUPER HILARIOUS inside jokes.
Sorry guys I deflected to Britland which takes up all my free time

lmfao actually yeah what chicken said would work really well
okay then flee claims the first page!
carry on my wayward son
sorry i dropped the ball on this one, guys. i had 6 pages ready with storyboard and layout but i really just didn't have an idea so i hated what i came up with it (spoilers: it was a dumb ecchi joke) and i just never got on it, then i got all swarmed with work and went through some artblock shit and i dunno it's just an endless list of dumb excuses but bottom line it's my fault. if i didn't have an idea in the first place i should have just not accepted it but i did and i played my hand like garbage
many other times ive tried to mess with trying to do really ambitious things with this userbase ive been shut down because i was a dumb kid and this forum used to be filled with shitty miserable people that were incapable of doing anything but sitting around trying to upset each other all day, but this stage in tba is by far the most accepting and well-intentioned iteration of this community and i feel like a huge shithead for not delivering to you guys.
i'm not gonna go on and on about it because i don't want to gaybabify this thread but i wanted to own up to this. good luck on keeping it going, i'd love to put in a page if i have a good idea! thanks for not getting too frustrated with me about this.
