~The lands of Fu Bai~
~The lands of Fu Bai~
Now that BSR is (FINALLY after 2+ years!!) finishing up, with only the last chapter to go, I can FINALLY start my comic.... Fu Bai!
Of course, NO story announcement would be complete without a map, and so I have made one.
Call me a sucker for all things map-related... or just bored with Photoshop. heh heh.
I'll be developing the formal pages and comics starting this month - should finish BSR this week~
Fu Bai: The Sands of the Red Dragon
NOTE: One possible issue, which I have to confess is a bit embarrassing for a Mod to talk about... this story will be a mixture of Lego figs and Oxford Clone figs, mostly because my beloved Lego sets are back in the US while I am here in China, and the Lego here is... well, let's just call it "marked up"
This is why the lands are called "Fu Bai" - it means "rotten" or "corrupt" in Chinese. Which is what I think the custom taxes may be here on Lego, and the motive for clones as well.

Re: ~The lands of Fu Bai~
Chapter one of the comic is complete!
Looking back, I have to say that I find making comics to be QUITE fun!
But it can be VERY hard too... because you can't cut corners! When I wrote stories like The Tomes of Chiron and the Black Scroll of Ragnok, I could write the hard scenes, and show pics of the easier stuff.
But here... everything needs a picture!
Chapter One: Sandstones of Fu Bai
NOTE!!! There is no fighting or killing in this first chapter... go easy on me! I need to set up some kind of plot first!

Awesome start to your comic. You got me hooked. Looking forward to your updates.

Re: ~The lands of Fu Bai~
Glad you enjoyed it!
Chapter two is well underway, with the pictures taken. I'm having a bit of trouble because there is a night scene, and I have no idea how to make a picture look "night".
But I'll keep the thread updated! It's quite fun to be writing a comic!

Re: ~The lands of Fu Bai~
Chapter 2 of my comic experiment has arrived!
Part 2
I had some fun with ninja attacks at night and a desert ambush, but I probably could have spent a bit more time photoshopping the pictures... someday when I get that book deal I'll consider it!
Recap, chapter 1 Part 1

Re: ~The lands of Fu Bai~
"Die Oxford Garbage!" That cracked me up, good job with this.
Re: ~The lands of Fu Bai~
heh heh heh... glad you liked that line... I wasn't sure if anyone would "get" that or not, but I couldn't help but to throw it in.
I might be stuck with the rip-offs, but I don't have to be happy about it! Glad you like the story so far~

Re: ~The lands of Fu Bai~
Chapter three has reared it's ugly head!
Full of action, adventure and general clone nonsense! Now is the time to laugh, sing, dance!
Or just click here to enjoy the next chapter!

Re: ~The lands of Fu Bai~
I may be dragging up an old post, but now LCC has moved, I can see the trees for the wood.
Though not massively keen on the use of Oxford figures (though I guess you have to work with what you've got, and one of my best/favourite custom figures has a Oxford helmet) I LOVE the yellow hat (custom? or Oxford) and the back sheath for 3 swords!

Re: ~The lands of Fu Bai~
Thanks Andhe - I appreciate the feedback - no matter what the timing.
The pieces are all oxford - from an oxford Chinese set. When I finally move back to the US I'll merge the story into the LEGO sets in a way that I think will be quite interesting.
Thanks for reading!

Re: ~The lands of Fu Bai~
Sorry for the double post... I was just reading chapter 3 again and got to thinking that maybe it's a bit confusing... to me it makes sense but to someone who is outside of my "Story bubble" i wonder if it seems confusing?
NOTE: POST #3,000! Woo hoo!!!

Re: ~The lands of Fu Bai~
Chapter 4 of 6 from the Sandstones of FuBai is now online!
Chapter 4
Chapter 3 leads up to the action in Chapter 4 where the Yellow Wizard Mu Biao takes action at last. This will of course fill chapter 5 and 6 will all sort of chaos as a result!
Chapter 2 and Chapter 1 are here as well.
