WNxH: Face Problem

28th November 2010's comic strip is out!


Yup, this Sunday's strip is out. Xiiao asks Faelry to make him immortal after he recalled about Faelry thanks to the news about "Secrets to Being Immortal."

WNx Homestay: Face Problem

You probably realized that there is something about the colour scheme for Xiiao and Faelry that you probably had seen it somewhere before. Yup, you're right, Xiiao has Hamtaro's colours and Faelry has Bubbles' colours.



Love,
Nicholas.

WNxH: Secrets of Being Immortal

Again, this Sunday's comic strip is out!


I know how Rail has been able to resurrect himself and even change the sides he's facing and stuff like that. In WNxH, objects simply have the ability to change wherever they face because they actually have no expression. They are given "life" through magic.

WNxH: Consequences

The comic strip? Is out??


For those of you who visited my blog these few weeks on every Sunday, you must have noticed that the strips are actually not released on Sunday! Why the hell is it here suddenly?

Well...lately, I've been working on a 2D coloured animation project, so I am quite busy actually. I only realized that I haven't draw my comic strips when it's midnight, so I stay up late and draw them, and post them up as Sunday's post. If I couldn't finish drawing, then I would post them up on Monday and apologize...well you get the idea!

WNx Homestay: Consequences

Here's a simple strip with some moral values? in the story...although it might not sound like a moral value, but it's true I guess. We should learn from it.




Love,
Nicholas.

WNxH: Movie Scam

Comic strip is out!


This strip is about how Eggy's movie (which contained of only one swordfight scene) went...

WNxH: Fund-Raising Movie

Sunday's strip is out.


Yeah, I was late in posting this strip because I went for a dinner at my cousin's wedding. Anyways, here is the strip.

WNx Homestay: Fund-Raising Movie

Yup, it's coloured now because I have a tablet. I'll draw comics using tablet now, and it may be coloured or black-and-white depending on my mood / how I want it to be.



Love,
Nicholas.

WNxH: Freakish Anger

Today's strip is out!


Freakzero gets angry over Lulu for a while. He doesn't get angry for long though... >_<

Love,
Nicholas.

WNxH: FFUU

Sorry for publishing the comic strip late again. This is for last Sunday.


I apologize for always publishing the comic strip late. I have a lot of work in college recently, so it really takes away my time.

This is about Freakzero trying to get revenge on Lulu who fired a laser on him last time.

WNx Homestay: FFUU

Love,
Nicholas.

WNxH: Awesomeness

Again, it's Sunday! WNx Homestay strip is out.


Lulu's out with his awesomeness again. Enjoy.

WNxH: Imma Firin' Mah Lazer

This comic strip is for last Sunday's. I didn't publish a strip last Sunday.



Alright, this strip is inspired by Evo. He googled "imma chargin" and Google suggested "imma chargin malaysia." Malaysia sounds pretty much like MAH LAZER so he suggested this idea for this strip! Enjoy.

WNxH: Vomit Lag

It's Sunday and it's time for WNx Homestay!


I apologize for not giving much attention to my cute little comic strip series, so here is it. This strip is about my L4D Map Project in which I had a problem with Boomer's vomit. Every time he vomits, there is this annoying lag. Only some players experience this though, most other players do not.

WNx Homestay: Vomit Lag

That's all folks! My map is near completion! A lot of bugs and leaks have been removed. The annoying vomit lag is still there, and there are leaks in my Weapon System which I have no idea how to fix them. Will be releasing the map soon enough. Stay tuned.



Love,
Nicholas.

WNxH: Not Food

It's Sunday and this week's comic strip is out.



Alright, I know some readers have trouble identifying Kit the Kit-kat Bar because he doesn't really look like one. Some even thought it is a Wii controller. So here goes.

This is a video done by me, using pencil-drawn images to create an animation as close as Bleach's 12th Opening. As it is pencil-drawn, the sketchy-papery feeling is maintained and it will be black and white.

Inspired by Teh777's Maple Bleach [Opening 12] video. This short animation clip is done using my own pencil drawings/sketches and photoshopped images only. I don't have a tablet, so I drew on paper and scanned them in. It was really tedious that way, but oh well. The whole animation was done by myself with the help of the following items.



Materials:
Pencil
Compass
Ruler
Paper
Eraser
Canon Pixma MP150 (Scanner)


Software:
Adobe Photoshop CS5
Adobe Flash CS5
SonyVegas (thanks to Teh777)


Others:
NagelSeries' Clouds Photoshop Brushes [Free]





Time Taken To Complete: 2 weeks+
Animation Speed: 12 FPS
Total Animation Frames: 1101
Actual Pencil Drawn Frames: 235






WNx Homestay is a comic created by me. All characters designed in the comic are based on real-life characters who played CabalSEA who are in the WarriorNation guild a couple of years back. Character designs may have similarity to other people's designs as they were all very simple shapes which can be learned almost anywhere. WNx stands for WarriorNation. Please go to this link for more information about the comic.

WNx Homestay Characters

Alright, the characters of the comic.



I know some characters have been appearing in the comic lately, and some of you may not even know their names. You can give a visit here to see the list of characters.



The list is not complete yet, but it helps you to know which character is which. No comic strip for today as I'm working on some animation that'll be finished in a couple of days.




Love,
Nicholas.

WNxH: Food Moustache

This week's Homestay strip.



Alright, welcome back for another WNx Homestay comic strip for this Sunday!

WNx Homestay: Food Moustache

Doesn't it look like a moustache? It has always bothered me.

WNx Homestay's Plot

What the hell was WNx Homestay about anyway?



Alright, I'm currently in my hometown, Ipoh, so I couldn't put up a comic strip for this Sunday. So...for those readers who had no idea about the whole WNx Homestay thing, here's something about it.




Overview
WNx Homestay is based on real-life characters. Each member of the WarriorNation guild (a guild in the game, Cabal) would have their own character with their own personalities. The characters in the comic are either humans, food, objects, animals, insects or even magical entities.





Plot
The comic revolves around Mashi, a 12-year-old orphan girl, adopted by Wallyba, a beautiful young lady who owns the Homestay. These two live along with another person called Hoi Meng who rents a place there. Mashi has the ability to communicate with the objects, animals and so on at home. She is able to hear out thoughts and rants of non-living entities which seem to have thoughts of their own. Due to her unique abilities, other entities outside try to get closer to her as well to communicate with her.


Basically, Mashi solves day-to-day problems that these entities face. Apart from Mashi's efforts of solving problems, the comic also tells about the day-to-day interactions among the entities.




Love,
Nicholas.

WNxH: Befriend

This week's comic strip is out!


Alright, the fight's never-ending if they do not declare peace. So Eggy decided to share places to stay instead of fighting for it! Oh, and since I saw the Bleach plagiarism fail in Evo's blog...I decided to make this one like that too, just for fun...only for this strip.

Behold, the new Nick Simmons, ME!! Nick Wongmons! For this strip at least.

WNx Homestay: Befriend

And this is the Bleach part I "plagiarized" for fun from...

Bleach 404 - Deicide 6, Page 10.

Enjoy!

WNxH: New Pets

WNxH: Cosplay Attraction

Another WNx Homestay strip is out for this week!


Alright, this strip is about Mashi cosplaying as Nanami Madobe (the official anime mascot for Windows 7) and it is attracting more entities to move in to WNx Homestay! So I guess you know what that means? *new characters coming soon* That's right.

WNx Homestay: Cosplay Attraction

Cheers.

Just wanted to give a Shakespeare feel, heh. So this is how Lulu and Aldane start off.
