Should I make a webcomic?

[RedDwarfIV]

For the past day I\'ve been thinking about making a webcomic. I\'ve done some artwork, too. I need to improve on it, but hey, XKCD is stickmen and look how popular it is.

I wanted to name it something along the lines of \'IMPACT\', but I couldn\'t seem to come up with a good name based on it. Then I thought of \'RankAmateur\'. The name, somehow, hadn\'t been taken already.

Any artworks I post here may be modified later on. Feel free to point out any proportions I\'ve got wrong or things that don\'t look right - IE, the size of Renaza\'s head [too small] and the direction her right eye is pointing [makes it look as if her iris is at the very edge of her head.] By the way, Renaza is the Haikovan Mission Controller on the left. The one on the right is an engineer, and I don\'t have a name for her.

Here\'s the start of a possible sketch. In this one, Renaza\'s left arm is too thin.

And here\'s the context.

The storyline is set around a HSD ship. The Mission Controller is Renaza Talinar. The ship is sent on an unimpressive mission to sort out a bar fight on a Pleasure Cruiser. The ship suffers some damage on the way there, including the loss of several engineers. Luckily, however, they come across a short-range but interstellar skiff with an engineer on board.

That\'s where the luck ends - the engineer is suffering from mental trauma, having been forced to use a transporter [like the ones from Star Trek.] The transporter itself didn\'t cause the engineer to have the breakdown, rather that along with a large number of people she is of the belief that when transporters take someone apart and put them back together somewhere else, the original is dead. The person now wandering around is just a copy. Having that belief and then being that copy can cause severe cases of personality dissassociation. In the storyline, its a well documented condition.

So, they have an engineer who doesn\'t want to believe that they are who they would seem to be. Problem is, the original was working on very important research, which could have dire consequences for a large section of the galaxy. And because of the engineer\'s condition, she isn\'t in a state to be conveying that information to anyone.

Renaza\'s mundane mission to sort out a bar fight ends up as a race to save trillions of lives, and everything rests on a mentally unstable woman who won\'t come to terms with her own existance. And, of course, a lot of interstellar shenanigans happen along the way.

I dunno. Needs some work on drawing skills. Other than that, yeah go for it.

You think the name\'s good then?

[technoguy33]

Sure, as good as any.

By the way, the engineer is standing on a stool because Haikovans are tall, not because she\'s unusually short.
