What are your guys opinions on me doing a web comic using WoW Models (this is not to make any money and I'll stop immediatly if anything legal comes up so that's not an issue).

I'm sick of trying to draw my characters in 8-Bit fashion so I'm going to use the WoW model viewer.

I'm asking first because I don't want to offend anybody and if this might actually sound like a good idea.

...There may or may not be tieflings...mostly because of lack of model...and lack of kobolds and goblins hurts to...and lack of necromancer bunnies...

eh, I think it would be alright. You'd prolly be better off asking Blizzard, though.

As long as it doesn't break the law and is an enjoyable read, I'm all for it.

I'm 99.99% sure it's not going to break the law because I'm not profiting at all from it...now to wait for the model viewer to get fixed and to find a way to freely host it...

Yuck. I always disliked that style, myself. OotS FTW.

You could try Poser, kin of pricey though. Otherwise a pencil, paper and paint?

It is a legal concern. You don't have to be making money on it - you're using their intellectual property without permission. They might not care to make an issue of it, but you'd better ask them first to avoid trouble down the road.

Regarding the legality of this: Have you taken a look at the ammount of WoW Machinima?

There are kobolds and goblins in WoW. They aren't in model viewer?

But they look different.

And I scraped the idea because I figgured out how to draw hoods finally...so ya...I just need a free way to host it and get around to doing it. And change the name of the Raven Queen...and other D&D stuff...

Drunk Duck is a fairly good, free comic hoster. Atleast, I think they're still free. My comic is still up, anyway...

Thanks for that. And I'm using sprites of my characters and MS Paint 'cause I'm a cheap /b/tard.

Now to change refrences to the Raven Queen and Illithi to other stuff...

So, is each comic going to take over 9000 hours in MS Paint? :P

I'm drawing sprites for each character (different ones per each teir of play), then generic monster sprites and generic NPC sprites. Then copy-pasta ftw.
