This s really great comic! The artwork reminds me of a similar style I used when I was making comics...though, I was about 9 years old then, and it doesn't even compare to yours.....

An offering to the god Taeshi. da da da daaaaaaaaaaah
(that would work, wouldn't it? Taeshi was an Egyptian word, Egyptians have gods and stuff)
I'd aim for a larger demographic target than one person. If you want to appeal to everyone on the BCB forum, draw cats doin' it.
Haha! I make the big jokes today

I've just realised how much I like cross, a forgive me for assuming that he has a so called 'British' accent (Mostly due to his semi-polite nature)

That's actually a good call on Cross' character. Although not much dialogue has been going on between Rick and Cross. His nature is meant to be a sort of Sportsman type. Which makes the whole "I don't feel like insta-killing you with my gun so lets fistfight" kinda thing a lot more sensible. I'll probably keep in mind to make a noticeable accent to his speech in the future. I won't be too off the wall on the accent don't worry.

Yes! Chibi Blobs!
Although chibi is not the exact term for this style, it's like an american chibi
because although my drawing style is heavily influenced by manga art, (Mainly since the first drawing book I picked up would be How to Draw Manga, go figure)I picked up this style from a friend of mine who is an amazing artist, example:
Suffice to say, many of my peers have sensational talent, but luckily even if I'm not that good yet I know how to make things humorous and entertaining!

hey, are you going to draw a page or two relating to the star trek "the trouble with tribbles"? that would be funny
you know what, your nickname is going to be tribble from now on
it suits you.

Never fear! Friday is my last day of school before winter break! I should be able to put up the new page after school and continue from there! And since I don't have a tablet yet, I'm going to concentrate on putting more details in my traditional art. Expect things to look much better.

Bwahahaahaha!! I'm updating this topic how shocking! And on the day I said I would! 
First off. I made a Bio of the main cast!
Not too shabby eh? Ehhh?
And of course, here is the NEW PAGE OF THE COMIC
Lol what
----And no, the whole thing where Cross suddenly knowing Rick this whole time was not thought up on the fly. I had the idea in mind for some time, so there.

Rick isn't actually surprised at seeing Cross, he's just amazed at how he keeps his hair like that while wearing a helmet.
Why draw the boxes so close to each other? Why not just have them touching?
But now I "get serious". The first panel should be two panels. The first with Callie kicking, and then the second with them conversing. She wouldn't tell her not to look down there while keeping her leg up in the air, right?

You raise good points there. The panels are pretty bad since I didn't take my time with them. If you recall most of the panels I did in the past sort of just went from left to right and were always stuck together from top to bottom. So I wanted to split it up a bit more. This time around it was kind of bad but I'm getting the hang of it with the next page where it's not all congregated save a few panels if need be. And if I could, I would probably try changing that first panel into two like you said. I still like how most of it turned out this time around at least
And yes, anyone should be shocked Cross can overcome the adversity of helmet hair so damn easily.

Sorry, but I just want to know. Did my comment about cross have an influence on his accent or was he always going to be 'British' anyway?
Oh and if I may be so bold; Shotgun Cross' voice in any animated adaptation made

I would say that you did have some influence on it bit I kind of had it in mind to make his speech more diverse earlier what you said before was really just a way to remind me. And I think it's better the readers decide just how exactly the character sounds. Granted I take the privilege of tweaking their speech now and then.
---Also, I wouldn't necessarily say that Cross is British. I'd think that his accent is more of a refined Irish. Another reason is because Cross may not even be from the planet earth if the comic is about travels in space then you shouldn't have to guess if there are colonies on other planets or not

Well the panels are fine.
Will you redraw that first scene into two panels? All I recommend is to move the speech from that first panel into another new panel, separate the banter from the bashing.
I keep assuming you're able to digitally edit it. Can you?

@BarbedFire Hey hey I said I'd think that it's Irish sort of like the accent Sean Devlin has from the Saboteur. And if I ever find myself animating these comics somehow I'd definitely be willing to hear your version of Cross' voice.
@skmojo I couldn't digitally edit it without trying to edit everything else
I'm really not all that skilled in using my editing program for that. At least not until I have a tablet. So sorry it's just going to have to stay like that.

I did some fanart of Cross here
I didn't post it here as I thought that it would be rude to post my art on your thread.
Colours for hair and eyes was assumed from the black and white picture

I'm pretty sure I didn't draw them like that this time
Also the pencil smudges aren't that dark on the actual paper but they came out thicker in the scan I guess
Buuuut I'm already 4 ales and half a glass of malt liquor in right now soooo I'm just gonna leave it as is
Merry Christmas!

Heeeey guys, been a little bit since I updated huh? Unfortunately this was the best I came up with right now. I'm sort of in the midst of planning where else star captain rick is going on it's next adventure. And I currently have made a tumblr account. Although as it is I don't want to post anything like the earlier comics of star captain rick on their if I put the whole thing up. Which means I either decide RE-DRAW EVERY PAGE UP TO THE SPACE PIRATE ARC
OR I make a new comic for the tumblr one and obviously a new topic on here. Does not mean I won't draw Star Captain Rick anymore.
Now, along with that some may be wondering who Kirby Krackle is from the sketch. They're this awesome Nerd Rock band that I feel in love listening to. This is a video from their popular and catchy song: Up Up Down Down
And for anyone not into love songs, here's one about the green lantern
okay that about does it. Fun stuff huh?
OH SHIT THAT'S RIGHT THE TUMBLR LINK: thatlousyartist.tumblr.com

Sure is! It's also one of those few times I can draw myself doing things!
---And it's all something that really happened! including that part about Elise, her first design had her shorts leave even LESS to the imagination. So I had to slightly cover that up
And the things my friend Nate will tell me about his sex life. Oh God

your comic inspired me to continue working on mine ( it was like 3 small panels ) and once the first page is done i will hopefully be able to upload it, my scanner doesnt like my drawings most of the time, so they end up being Half-scanned.
but, please seriously keep it up.
cuz its one of those comic that is pretty easy to draw, but amazingly fun to read.
and when i say its easy to draw, i dont mean i can do better, cuz i probably can't.
the hardest part in drawing a comic is the situation/story.
but ideas can easily be found around the internet, browse around a bit, surely you'll find something.
also, for every pair of well-drawn boobs, a comic get 15% more awesome.

You should let me know when you start posting your comic so I can have a look. But don't worry I never keep it too simple so the art still looks good. Anyways thanks for telling me I've been doing a good job

Then all my appreciation towards Dancing Swords for making it even if it was a back up, I know I'll keep questioning myself on who was supposed to do it originally and I did know I got the short end of the stick but just seeing something turn out finally is comforting.

This is it....
I'M MAKING A STAR CAPTAIN RICK FILM
My close friend and I were talking today and I mentioned I wanted to make a short film before I graduate high school. He said I should make an adaptation of Star Captain Rick for it. I liked the idea and we kept going on it, who we know in our circle that we can try casting, settings, feature length. So It's turned into a serious thing and I believe that all the people who like to read my comic should know. Now before you go thinking I'm a complete hack, I've been taking courses in film since freshman year and I have access to good cameras, tripods, green screens, and editing programs. We're talking Final Cut Pro and Vegas Pro 8 programs. So believe me I know how to go about that stuff. I'm not saying this will be a pure masterpiece, but I'm going to try my damn hardest to impress. And since I know a lot of good people here would have great suggestions to it I'm willing to hear them so don't be shy. As things progress I'll start posting who will play who and how far things are. This is a big step for me since I'm combining some of my two biggest hobbies and career interest so please support what I'm doing. Thank you all.
