Homestuck animated episode for ending of act 4. Word epic to used properly on internet. - General

[highlight]READ BEFORE VIEWING[/highlight] [b]This is an animated episode of internet comics [url=http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6]Homestuck from mspaintandventures.com[/url] I have to warn you that what you see in this animation won't make sense for you, if you don't follow Homestuck. The whole Homestuck story now consists of [highlight]3840[/highlight] "steps" and is running for over a year, in form of simple images with varying amount of text and flash animations like this), I urge you to to watch this animated episode just for the style of the animation itself if you aren't interested into reading the whole story.[/B] [url=http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003840]There is the link for the animation itself.[/url] I must say, that without exaggeration, the whole story can already be called epic (within the original meaning of the word). The animation itself is just amazing. The soundtrack is great and fitting. The pacing of the video is memorable. The only thing I didn't like was the Squiddles part. It just didn't fit in, it was just terribly distracting. I think it shouldn't really been there. For those who get what's all about: How do you thing the story is going to continue? [sp]I am really interested into more interaction with the "Trolls". Also all the questions that still have to be answered... What will happen with the "Bro"? What does Jack Noire really do, and why?[/sp] Damnit I love this series so much. By the way, Isn't there somewhere a general thread about Homestuck somewhere? I was trying to find one but it's though without Search working.

I just watched this. People who don't read Homestuck won't understand a thing. :frown:

Yeah but the animation is awesome no matter if you get it or not. Or I don't know. Isn't it?

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;22377491]Yeah but the animation is awesome no matter if you get it or not. Or I don't know. Isn't it?[/QUOTE] I think it's totally fucking amazing. Actually, his animation is kind of sparse, but the drawing IN the animation is without a doubt incredible.

[S] Jack: Ascend. That one is my favorite but damn this isn't very far away. [editline]11:59PM[/editline] [img]http://www.shrani.si/f/1G/g1/2t4B0bVL/s-descend.png[/img] I think this sums it up pretty well.

holy fucking god, that is an amazing picture. There are so many of them in quick succession that you don't realise how good they are until you take them out as frames. Also, the music is beautiful. Seriously.

is that in paint!? really?! :psyboom: but yeah, i don't follow this comic so i had no idea what was going on, awesome artwork non the less

I've been following this since day one. I still don't know what the fuck is going on.

[QUOTE=A Glitch;22378164]is that in paint!? really?! :psyboom: but yeah, i don't follow this comic so i had no idea what was going on, awesome artwork non the less[/QUOTE] The first frame of Problem Sleuth was made in Paint. After that, Photoshop. In Paint mode.

[QUOTE=Cluckyx;22378269]I've been following this since day one. I still don't know what the fuck is going on.[/QUOTE] I began to lose it after all the [sp]time travelling troll bullshit[/sp]. I mean, Problem Sleuth was kind of confusing at certain points, but this is just a whole new level of stuff my brain cannot comprehend.

[QUOTE=A Glitch;22378164]is that in paint!? really?! :psyboom: but yeah, i don't follow this comic so i had no idea what was going on, awesome artwork non the less[/QUOTE] It isn't paint anymore. The first comics were, but he stopped using it because the quality was shit and it was too slow to produce. If I remember right, he is using Photoshop and Flash. He however still keeps this "minimalistic" art style. [editline]10:14PM[/editline] [QUOTE=BaconDioxide;22378327]I began to lose it after all the [sp]time travelling troll bullshit[/sp].

You have just to settle with that they make contacts in non-linear matter. It's not obvious why are they doing so and what situation exactly are they. What buggers me more are the Jack Noir's motives. [/sp]

The pester logs are way too long, and I kind of got lost, after not reading them for a bit. I need to restart.

I'm going to watch that again and try and screen cap as many things that would make awesome avatars as possible.

Well, it makes me feel better that you're not properly supposed to understand yet. Also, I'm not comfortable with [sp]the whole time travel thing in general, plus all the alternate timelines and clones and dream selves and stuff.[/sp] I think [sp]Jack Noir is just out for blood, also his mind is probably corrupted by the ring.[/sp] [editline]11:20PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Communist Cake;22378414]The pester logs are way too long, and I kind of got lost, after not reading them for a bit.

[QUOTE=Lucinice;22378424]I'm going to watch that again and try and screen cap as many things that would make awesome avatars as possible.[/QUOTE] Just got one out of it for myself. [editline]10:39PM[/editline] [sp] Something tells me that Bec (the supernatural dog character) is either high above all that happened yet, or, somewhat shady and not actually truly on the kids side, or both.[/sp] [editline]10:41PM[/editline] [img] http://filesmelt.com/dl/rosekicksass.png[/img] Those scenes are just surreal. [editline]10:42PM[/editline] I wonder what this guy does for living.

In problem Sleuth it just felt like random shit was happening but it homestuck everything feels like it has a purpose. Also which one of these would make a better avatar?

So is Jade's dream-self. . . Dead?

All the awesomeness of Jack, Dave or Bro can hardly fit into 80x80. I mean it's 2010. People should be able to handle 120x120 10KB image. I would go with this Bro one. [editline]11:13PM[/editline] [sp]Also, screw Jade, I hope Bro is OK. He is the most badass character in the whole thing. Or more like the most badass character of all of them.[/sp]

I wish the pictures didn't look like shit when I use them as avatars.

SQUIDDLES! /caps

Very nice soundtrack

I wish someone would upload this to youtube, there's a lot of good spots to make animated avatars but it would be hard to request them because there is no way to specify from what points you want it.

Something about this guy's animations give me chills every time I see them. I think hollywood could learn a lot from the composition of his little movies. They may be a bit disjointed and confusing at times, but the camera work and scenes are fucking incredible.

Jade's dream-self must of lived. I forget she was wearing the White Queen's ring.

[QUOTE=pod;22390364]Jade's dream-self must of lived. I forget she was wearing the White Queen's ring.[/QUOTE] [sp] In the last scene before impact, you can see that she has the ring no more. She might have passed it to dream John, or something.[/sp]
