The First Small Steps: a KSP Manga/Comic

[Qeztotz]

All Updates will be in the first post. (note to self: put on imgur for ease of reading)

I apologise for the poor quality of the first two pages or so, they will be revisited.

Upon completion of this project i will make a PDF suitable for printing, other formats will be made available if people ask for them.

Thank you for reading.

An example of the art:

[OtherDalfite]

I really like that art. I'm not too hip on the whole Cartoon/Manga thing though. Perhaps if you could do a piece for say some modern events on Kerbin? I think that would be pretty neat.

[sytaline]

I like the artwork!

[RogueMason]

Is that a Gladius I spy, docked to the station? Macey would be quite happy with that

[Qeztotz]

ah, an astute one.

Yes, that is indeed a gladius, i will not be using them in the manga without his permission though.

[Qeztotz]

Here's another piece of example artwork, i liked the other one so much i just had to do another.

[Rockcoole]

Looks intersting. I can't wait to see were this will go.

[Qeztotz]

The third and final example picture, this time with humans in.

I will not be drawing any more like this until the start of the summer hols (unless you ask nicely and you're very persuasive)

[Canopus]

No pressure suits?

[OtherDalfite]

I like the new one with the crater base, but they should really have pressure suits. Maybe some less loose clothing. The sleeve on the arm of the woman to the right leads you to believe she has some sort of huge arm.

[Rockcoole]

Maybe there on Laythe? Therefor lack of pressure suit.

[OtherDalfite]

Maybe there on Laythe? Therefor lack of pressure suit.

Possibly. But Laythe is still freezing cold. It's oceans are supposedly made of liquid ammonia (Industrial chemical to keep things in deep freeze). So unless you like frostbite, you'd probably still want a protective suit or some sort of extreme temeperature protection.

[JakeGrey]

It could also be a partially-terraformed (kerbiformed?) Duna.

[joedude69]

Not to mention the radiation a planet such as Laythe due to its closeness to Jool, But never the less the look quite good.

[LaydeeDem]

Maybe there on Laythe? Therefor lack of pressure suit.

Uhh no. It's too cold, Laythe's atmosphere is too thin, and the radiation from Jool's radiation belts is far too deadly.

[OrbitusII]

Uhh no. It's too cold, Laythe's atmosphere is too thin, and the radiation from Jool's radiation belts is far too deadly.

Send a data probe to Laythe, during the daytime all you'd need is a winter coat and possibly some respiratory augmentation (assuming you have a way to survive the radiation).

[Mekan1k]

Laythe is in the 'Pulled zone' in Jool's gravitational field, meaning that the core would be kept molten by it's own orbit, allowing for a strong magnetic field. Possibly strong enough to keep the surface safe from the rad-belt around Jool.

However, sunscreen and respirators are recommended.

[Qeztotz]

It was really just an example drawing, I have no idea where it is.

Thanks for pointing out the arm thing BTW, I'll fix it eventually.

[Qeztotz]

I have updated the drive doc with a revised plot section

[Qeztotz]

Google document update

the plot is now filled out, and is ready to go, you can expect it to come out in about 4 weeks time, because going on holiday is apparently a thing in my family, (how was i supposed to know i was going to Peru?)

submissions for ships and other craft files are now open, but aren't necessary, trying to make things look as cool as possible is the name of the game here.

Thanks for reading, i will see you when ive no longer got altitude sickness

[IWantSumCrusha]

...because going on holiday is apparently a thing in my family, (how was i supposed to know i was going to Peru?)

Haha, i feel ya. I wanted to get a flash game i started making at school done; along with starting my kerbalised film posters AND to finish graphics work. But suprise suprise, holdiay! Dont get me wrong i like it here; but i solely depend on my computer i think im Going to start suffering withdrawal symptoms..

[Qeztotz]

Thoughts and criticisms are appreciated

[ninjakids]
