Author Topic: [art] MotK Comic Compo: Touhou Exquisite Corpse [Creation Phase]  (Read 22750 times)

So, here's the deal:

A Comic Compo is a form of exquisite corpse: it is a comic book, created by multiple artists who each do a single page, with nothing to go on except the previous page. (This is the important part.) Guaranteed to get all kinds of surreal!

I'm going to say that the image files should be 850x1100, and PNG, GIF, or JPG format, and don't make them too huge filesize-wise. I will be handling the creation of the first page (I'll do it in create.swf), as well as getting each page to each next-artist. Each page must be sent direclty to me, and no one else! The number of pages will, of course, depend on the number of people who sign up for this; let's say 10-20 or so. Don't do anything illegal, don't do anything we wouldn't be allowed to host on this server (so no porn), and the page you contribute must actually follow from the previous I give you to the best of your ability. And, of course, this is gonna be Touhou themed.

So, yeah, this is the first time I've done something like this. Who is sure they'd be able to contribute a page to this? :3

Count me in! It's not like I use my spare time for homework and such anyways, so I'll have plenty of time.

Oh look, I got an image in my signature. Finally.

Oh right, before I forget: it would behoove whoever does the last couple of pages to wrap things up and bring them to a close, kinda thing. But that's probably a bit too obvious, I dunno.

Hmm ... 7 is kind of a low number to do this kind of thing, expecially since I'm one of them, but I guess I might as well get ready to close the signups and start making the first page. Last call for signups!

7 pages seems like fun. Still, I think we should leave signup for more 5 days or something.

Heh, the last Comic Compo I saw was over 100 pages long, but we don't even have that many artists here. XD

Fair enough, though.

No need for uber art skills! I was going to use create.swf to do it.

If there's still room, I wouldn't mind doing a page.

Is 4koma acceptable?

Yeah, if you can get it to fit as a followup of the previous page.

Also I am a nineball: the correct term for what I'm specifically doing is "comic compo." Whee~

Okay, signups are now closed. Here is the order that the pages will be in:

1. KimikoMuffin
2. Erebus
3. Himiko
4. The Strongest
5. SockHyren
6. Patorikku
7. Aizo
8. Colossusketch
9. HakureiSM

Any objections?

Anyway, here's the process:

1. I work on page 1.
2. I send this page to the next person on the list.
3. They send me back a confirmation that they're going to start working on it.
4. They make the next page.
5. They then send it back to me, AND NOBODY ELSE.
6. Repeat steps 2-5 until we are done.
7. I will then release them in order.

Now, this is probably going to be less surreal than a lot of Comic Compos, since we're dealing with established and readily-recognizable characters and locations (so we're not going to go from an MIB infiltrating a skyscraper to a little boy running around in a world inside his own head in three pages, with both appearing to be the same character due to a vague artstyle). But don't let that stop you from inserting your own interpretations thereof. Nor should you worry about getting the context wrong -- that's all part of the fun!

Again, the only rules for content are "Don't do anything illegal, don't do anything we wouldn't be allowed to host on this server (so no porn), and the page you contribute must actually follow from the previous I give you to the best of your ability." The only rules for file format is it must be PNG, GIF, or JPG of 850x1100 and not too heavy on the file-size. And, of course, I'm the only one allowed to see ANY pages created until the end! I'd also prefer it if you didn't spend too much time on each page, but I know people have their own lives and work at different paces, so I'm not going to give any hard deadlines. Just "three days after I get your confirmation" as a soft limit, and after a week I'm going to start to get annoyed. I would prefer, however, to get the confirmation less than 24 hours after I send you the page, and the new page 24 hours after that.

I will now begin work on page 1. where doing it, man. where MAKING THIS HAPEN.

Thanks for the update. I thought things were held up, and I was all like, "I'm never going to even start this page, am I?"
