#36300542043 02/07/2009 17:49:50 Dulux: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Matrix

FOREWORD: Thought it was about time i finally gave in and posted my comic. I started this last year, round January/February due to the fact that i was looking for something creative to do and i was no good at writing stories and Fraps didn't seem to work on my computer so i couldn't make a movie, plus i my faction leader made comics that i rather enjoyed and wanted to do something similar.

So basically i had the idea to do a comic but no idea what to do it about, so like my faction leader i decided to do an origin story (seemed pretty straight forward) and basically used the silly RPish background i had in my details as a jumping off point. And that was about all i had, i basically started taking screenshots for this with no real story, no real ideas and certainly no dialogue, so if it's a bit all over the place you can see why (Basically i just nicked alot of scenes from The Matrix and put a Dulux slant on it, so it's not really much of a story, more a collection of scenes).

It should also be noted that i have Vista so some of the screens the faces look all shadowy and although i got Tsusai's fix around about Halloween, i'd basically finished taking the screens at the end of Feb so didn't want to go back and redo alot of them (also you may notice some shots get repeated more than once for pretty much the same reason...i hadn't shot enough for some scenes and i couldn't be bothered going back and re-creating it all how ever many months later).

And finally i should say, that while i started this a year ago, it in no way took me that long to do, you'll see it's a tad shoddy with bad grammer and spelling and nowhere near as cool as some of the stuff i seen on here, just i got a short attention span and kept leaving it and coming back to it

Anyways, without any further rambling here it is, hope you enjoy and feel free to criticise...

*DISCLAIMER: If you like your Matrix stories, dark, serious and ultra realistic please look away now!*

#36300544625 02/17/2009 12:56:13 Re:Dulux: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Matrix

That was awesome, Dulux! You need to tone down the humor a bit though, I laughed so hard, my stomach still hurts from the first time I read it! 

#36300545138 02/18/2009 13:18:45 Re:Dulux: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Matrix

4th and final part is up, hope everyone enjoyed it   Although it's not perfect and did take ages to make (though that was entirely my own fault) it was alot of fun to make.

You never know, maybe i'll make another one some time.

(Also i'll just say here that the 4th part deviated alot from what it was gonna be. Was meant to have alot more faction stuff in there, but unfortunatly i left that particular faction while still in the process of taking the screenies (One of the reasons i added the last page) so that whole part might seem a little messier than is should.)

#36300545166 02/18/2009 14:10:20 Re:Dulux: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Matrix

That's awesome Dulux!! Really good story and screenshot's. I actually think they look better then our B/W movies we had.
