At our last TAG meeting, I wanted to demonstrate how to make digital comics using Pixton. Here was the sample comic I created, portraying a PURELY HYPOTHETICAL conversation between a patron and a librarian!

How are you? Is everything fine? It has been a long time since we talked, we had exams that's why I didn’t post for 2 weeks I think. Whatever, the exams were not that much good. But I didn’t study for them that much :)
So today I will present to you another assignment for my final exam. This time our teacher asked us to create a digital story. This assignment was a little bit weird for me, I never thought that we would write a story and then create the characters of it.
We wrote the story in Word first. Then we designed the characters using the website Pixton. Finally, we used the VN edit app to mix the photos with the voiceover after recording it and adding some background music.
There were 3 different characters, a boy called Robin, a teacher called Mandala, and a girl called Quinn. The story was about a boy who wanted to learn about his grades and went to the teacher’s office, but unfortunately, he failed the exam, so he asked his teacher to help him find a solution or he would lose his scholarship. The teacher asked him to find chemicals for her experiment. That's where the story begins.
I don’t want to give so many spoilers from the story, I want you to watch it and give me your opinions in the comments.
By the way, I created the story with 2 of my close friends, Elif and Bade. You can check the story in their blogs too.
For years, I used a website called Pixton to create various webcomics under the name Manoman. Pixton was eventually rebranded from a comic creating website to an educational tool, and all the old comics have been deleted. I and a few others have saved a lot of our old works, but I still miss those days.
My proudest work on Pixton was a webcomic called True Fist, something that started as a parody of Dragon Ball, but quickly grew into its own thing. I had a few fans, and one of them, someone on youtube called SturdyWaffle made some AMVs based on them. The one above was made unavailable by youtube, but I saved it a long time ago, so I thought I'd put it back on the internet in some way or form.
Here are a few of her AMVs featuring my comic that are still online though:

We started this comic during our last Teen Advisory Group meeting. Everything was smooth sailing until the end, because a teen suggested incorporating a shark into the final panel. So we ended up using Pixabay and Canva to create that final background, and gave that shark some fishy friends!

Esta entrada fue creada durante la tercera semana de #easpmooc13 en la que descubrimos las potentes “armas de construcción masiva” distribuidas en la red global de aprendizaje colectivo en forma de “artefactos digitales” y su impacto en el enriquecimiento de nuestro PLE-PLN.
El concepto de artefactos digitales nos sitúa en la dimensión, siempre activa del aprendizaje y en un tipo de producto…
In 2013, I created my first rendition of a humanized Commander Video. When I was in high school, when Pixton still had its "for fun" site, I created my second rendition. A couple years ago, I created my proper third and now current rendition.
I guess you can say I grew up with BIT.TRIP. The series still holds a fond place in my heart... And playing through RERUNNER has reignited that spark.
A friend of mine invited me to a bedrock realm; you are a bedrock dude, who is the go to for bedrock farms and such? Is there anything I should know for the transition?
My man Silentwisperer is the best for that kinda stuff
My main advice also would be "do not play win10 minecraft full screen", it will shut down every time you alt-tab, if you do!
Also pixton quasi-connectivity doesn't exist, so redstone actually makes sense lol
There's much more to it, but I believe most of the fun of Bedrock Edition is experiencing a great game in new light, so have at it!
