A Vote for Goblins!

[BuildsLegos]

Worst. Loose clothing. Ever. It reminds me of the time I forgot to leave a roll of pennies in the car, so they were in the weird zipper-pocket of my swimming trunks. Swimwear is NOT built to hold the weight of 50 pennies, but at least the elastic waistband *tried* to hug my waist.

[Brings Cupcakes]

Worst. Loose clothing. Ever.

Exactly. What the heck is that even supposed to be? How does it not get in her way?

Don't get me wrong, I'm excited to meet the new character, but the outfit is more than a bit silly.

[Simon]

I wonder who or what she is. Possibly a dungeon guide like Noe? Or a past adventurer?

Also, I posted this in another thread, but as YardMeat mentioned, there's going to be several threads discussing the same topic, so I'll post it here instead.

From the image, she looks a little bit mismatch. Like, her armour seems to be different (her shoes maybe different to each other) and different tattoos... tattooed on her. Even her face looks like it could be in multiple parts, with the lines crossing it. The eyes maybe different, they seem to show a different expression, but that could just be the angle or whatever. Maybe she's related to the colour-changing light. It could 'sample' the people entering the dungeon and create some sort of hybrid guide. Or it could be something entirely different

[Lurks_In_Shadows]

I suspect she is a spell caster and the little pockets are for spell ingredients. I believe that there was a mention in one of the threads about Thunt introducing a new spell caster in the near future. By the way, there is a new sneak peak up. Looks pretty intense.

For those who might not like the new character's costume: nothing can be worse for us, than Thaco's loincloth was for the GAP.

Also, Thaco could have looked like panel 5 in the last several books.

Finally, I leave this assurance. More than half of the main protagonists have seen some sort of costume change since their introduction. (Bonus points for anyone who knows how many Vorpal has had.)

[Wolfie]

Is that a face in the middle of the .... belt pouch?

I don't know what the etiquette is about discussing the votes of other comics, (so I'll spoiler this) but

► Show Spoiler

does anyone else find Twokinds' stats a tad odd? I mean, there doesn't seem to be a massive difference in votes between each individual comic and the one above/below it until you get to the twokinds one. And the stats for it are weird, every couple seconds to a minute someone votes. I mean, I'm not saying they couldn't have a large number of fans but that the numbers are weird. A single fan can supposedly only vote once per day, but there's roughly one vote per minute (or even more). So that's 60 votes an hour or 1440 votes a day so 1440 fans are voting per day. I'm not saying that's unrealistic or weird (because I don't know), but for them all to 'apparently' vote one after the other like that is quite suspicious.

I'm only noticing it because when I went to vote, I noticed that twokinds' votes seem to have shot up from 40,000 and something to 60,000 in the past couple days.

[Krulle]

I saw the increase too.
But then, two kinds does have a massive base.
And Goblins was up in the 70k votes back then.....

I don't find it that weird... And it is plausible.

Most professional webcomicmakers stop TWC vote incentives at a certain time, and even stop promoting voting, and they drop out of top-100

[Krulle]

Apparently THunt will do more vote incentives now.
Exposure is what's needed to get ad income up to track.....

Click the vote button under the title to see the 1st #Goblins I drew (in 2003). They looked VERY different at first! http://www.goblinscomic.org

For folks who missed it earlier today, I've got something neato under the vote button. Prototype #Goblins from 2003 http://www.goblinscomic.org

Scroll down to the blog, if you're interested in some details about that vote button thingy.

EDIT! I just want to quickly mention the vote button located at the top of the site (IÔÇÖm not sure if IÔÇÖm allowed to place a copy of that button here in the blog, otherwise I would), under the Goblins title. YouÔÇÖre allowed one vote per IP address, every 24 hours. And yes, the rules of TopWebComics specifically say that youÔÇÖre allowed to vote from home, then vote again at school/work, if you like. IÔÇÖll be hiding neato Goblins stuff ÔÇ£underÔÇØ the vote button every 1 or 2 days. Simply clicking on it, will show you that dayÔÇÖs secret Goblin thingy. Right now, the VERY first goblins I ever drew are tucked in there. I drew them back in 2003 and they look REALLY different! So what does voting actually do? It moves the Goblins banner up that list. The higher it is, the more exposure Goblins gets. DonÔÇÖt forget that you can also vote once a day on ANY of the other comics as well. So if you see something in that list that you like, give them a vote! It takes like, 2 seconds and it makes our day. Trust me.

only because it's not on TWC anymore...Go vote because you looked at it now!

Need vote buttons? Quote me and copy the link/image you want from [ur l=... to .../url]

[RocketScientist]

Seems like he's having fun with TWC again.

[Krulle]

Hey! We're number one again!!!
*party*

A scwillion, bazillion, shabillion weapons and shields are now under the vote button at goblinscomic.org #Goblins

[Guus]

Number one? Holy Moley, that's pretty cool!

[RocketScientist]

The Dark Fandom is indeed powerful. Once fed with updates, it can build up great momentum to utterly demolish any tests or comment sections put before it.

But beware - it can unleash a wrath so terrible that even the mighty Thunt cannot fully control it. And ye, are we not forbidden from speaking that poor, unfortunate's name?

[Simon]

Wooh, number one

[Krulle]

Edited in for those who missed it. Now go vote as you got it now.

There's a new secret image under the vote button on the site. Did you catch this hard to notice detail in #Goblins? http://www.goblinscomic.org

► Show Spoiler

You saw it now. So please go and vote now.

Edit: edited in link to detail...

[Glemp]

I saw it. Honestly, I think it was worded the wrong way though - changing the world to suit your ideals is neither good nor bad, it's the ideals and the means you use to enforce them that are important. But, yes, it is a very nice visual parallel.


EDIT:A better way to put it would be how they handle evidence that contradicts their worldview: Ruby destroys it without considering its validity, while Minmax accepts it and updates his views accordingly.

[LooksClosely]

This new vote incentive showing the parallel between two scenes is pretty cool. I like the insight it provides into THunt's storytelling/planning.

[Krulle]

Forgath gets patched up by Kliks in the next #Goblins and ends up... different. Vote at http://www.goblinscomic.org to get a peek at him.

► Show Spoiler

That Forgath looks like he has at least two replacement parts received from different kliks.
And I thought replacing body parts is frowned upon in the klik civilisation?
Or did Junior have to be different, as he had manipulators (being a replacement for a hand) and as such had more necessity to be able to think as what is wanted?

[Knucklekraken]

Sweet and/or Holy Frosted Whizbangs, Batman.

[Krulle]

Yes, indeed. Looks like a new avatar to me...

Maybe those are actually full Kliks, not replacement parts. They can change shape, so why not into bandages/armor?

[BuildsLegos]

That would make more sense to cover an eye than replace it when it's going to make a full recovery anyway.

[Moroser]

I hope Forgath won't be that colourful in the further comic. First the beard, now all these patches - that's too much.

[YardMeat]

Plus, like I mentioned in the other thread, Dies' replacement part shared his soul and even seemed to share his IME. That doesn't seem to be the case with Forgath's mismatched patches. I think you are right about the shape changing/bandage idea.
