Super Mario Bros. X Forums

Hey guys, it's been a while, huh? I've given this comic series a shot several times, but never did the stars align as they have now. In the past, Cloud's Forum Adventures (which is also known as DreamBound) has suffered from many problems: lackluster characters without personality, storylines that progress too fast, "empty" dialogue that lacks meaning", and the like. I've had months and months to think things through, and now, I have corrected all of these problems. Characters now have defined personalities, the story now is deeper than ever and progresses at a nicer rate, and the dialogue is now much more indicative of a character's personality. CFA is also known for its unique and clean art style, which I am sure to keep up with this new saga. Before we start with the episodes, we're going to go over some general series information - if you want to cut right to the episodes, scroll to the end of this post instead.

Basic Series Outline:
Cloud's Forum Adventures has been running since 2014, with over 120 episodes available, and is unique in that each of its characters are loosely based on forum users. They all have vastly different personalities, and live in an original world that's been in my head since early 2012. To make things a bit simpler to draw, most of the characters take the appearance of kirbies (they can't fly, inhale, swallow, or use copy abilities - it's just an aesthetic "base" that makes things easier for me), but other than that, all of the characters, places, and story events are completely original. The main three protagonists live in a ball-shaped Observatory that orbits a planet called Estrella. They aren't really cut out for fighting or defending their world at all, as you'll learn, but when a dark army led by a maniacal child reveals its plan to awaken an ancient evil, the Observatarians are forced into action. In the series, you can expect bad puns, villains that are actually likable, battles that are a bit too intense (but usually end up in a curbstomp), and "deep lore". Now then, let's go over the main characters.

Characters: Alright, with all that out of the way, it's time for the good stuff: episodes! I try to roll them out as often as I possibly can, but they take a long time to make. Between working out the complex storyline, getting each line of dialogue just right, and drawing each panel and expression perfectly, creating each episode definitely requires a lot of effort. Comments are much appreciated, and might even help to shorten the gap between new episodes, etc...now, without further ado, here are the episodes!

Episode 1: Home Sweet Home Episode 2: Another Day at the Dojo Episode 3: Megar's Cool House Episode 4: Hide and Seek Episode 5: A Walk in the Park Episode 6: A Spectral Situation Episode 7: Megar's Cool Airplane Episode 8: The Sky's the Limit NEW - Episode 9: Riding the Wind

These are fantastic. The graphics are very well-polished and the story is light and enjoyable. Hope to see more of this!

Love the character design, they look as cute as Kirby!

After a grueling few weeks of work, Episode 9 is finally here! This was by far the most difficult episode I've ever made, and I hope you all enjoy it. Episode 10 will be out in around a week, if all goes well.
