I think these are funnier, and they definitely attack the average RockMan sprite comic maker. Since, you know. Not everyone is like me, and some people go as far as to think Bob and George wasn't a flaming pile of crap.

Best. Guide. Ever.

I read it (along with Crash 'n Bass's Guide) a while ago.

Where do you get your backgrounds from?

In specific, I'm looking for a torture chamber/dungeon

[Forte]

Check the backgrounds section on my site. They're all Lyrea's but she has a dungeon or something. If not, look in the links section for Background HQ

Why don't we put actual personal advice?

I've said it before, this is not for everyone.  It may seem cool and all, but if you don't have the artistic ability, it will be crud.

[Forte]

Only kind of. If you don't have the ability to make other sprites, I suggest 8 bit comic or recurring characters. A lot of recurring characters.

Forte's Personal Advice 1 - Writers block

It happens. Get used to it. It's never a reason to give up, it's just a reason to think a little harder. It's also the prime reason I don't get comics up too often.

Writer's Block - Actual Advice

Yeah, writer's block happens.  It's either because

A)  You weren't originally actually concerned with the work and did not think out a storyline
B)  You're too lazy
C)  You just suck
D)  You've thought too far ahead of the story, and are too bored to tell it to yourself
E)  Your creativity needs to be channeled into another medium or story for a while

How do I know these things?  I've written more than probably most of you ever will.  I'm a good writer, and I've got the skillz to prove it.  That and you can go right now and see that D and E have happened to -EPIC-.

[Forte]

I refuse to believe that I'm any of those. I'm example R.

R) You've thought about the story ahead of now, yet can't think of what's going on now.
