Apart from that I just want to know if its a nice idea to use minecraft backgrounds for the webcomic, Thanks for reading

I'm just not sure the sprites and the 3D worlds will mesh so well. Still, I guess we'd have to wait and see what the end result is. I say fiddle around with it a bit and see what looks best.

As long as the minecraft pictures were more of a flat look along similar lines with the sprites, or a sort of isometric view may possibly work. Terraria is a 2D "minecraft-ish" game. I don't know what sprite databases you're looking at, but there are some that have build your own backgrounds. There's also quite a lot of those within the Sonic games section that I know of.

I never thought of making my own backgrounds THAT way, The thing is I want to have better angles for my comics, And also I want them to look more real other then been sprite, I don't really want sprite backgrounds because there just flat, But I guess (Since minecraft backgrounds don't seem to work very good) I'm going to have to just go back to using the normal sprite backgrounds. Oh well.

My opinion on the mincraft background is maybe try to edit them somehow. just incase if you don't want them blocky. if not, then you should just leave them as is, and use minecraft backgrounds for your comic.

The thing is, he also had dark sprites that went with them and they fit with them. So long as you have a good texture pack to go with it and sprites that fit, I don't see why not. .......why did I never think about that...? Minecraft backgrounds for sprite comics....I may have to...burrow, that idea. Edited by VlaDDrakkeN, Jul 10 2012, 01:33 AM.
