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

*raises a hand*
-
Oh plz yes I'm in
-
Count me in! It's not like I use my spare time for homework and such anyways, so I'll have plenty of time.
-
I guess I could give this a shot.
-
One Page? Not a problem! I'm in.
-
i'll join. the more, the merrier
-
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.
-
If this doesn't require uber ultra art skills, I'm in.

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.
If this doesn't require uber ultra art skills, I'm in.
No need for uber art skills! I was going to use create.swf to do it.
-
Was?
Also holy shit, 100 pages
-
If there's still room, I wouldn't mind doing a page.
Is 4koma acceptable?
-
Well yeah, I think so.
-
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.
-
bump :<
Waa I get the last page.
Pressure.
-
Yeah, Erebus has been kind of ... noncommunicative after I gave him the page. >.>
-
He's on the IRC fairly often if ya wanna catch em~
-
Yeah, I'm this close to bumping him off the list at this point. >.> hurr, durr, disregard this.
-
For the record, we are almost halfway through, and I am about to send The Strongest's page to SockHyren.
-
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?"
-
Heh, yeah, I'll be a bit more open about updates from here on.
EDIT: For instance I have got Sock's confirmation about working on it
-
Oh cool this is still going
-
Yeah, I'm still eventually going to ask you to make a page. ;)
-
Working on it. Sorry It's taking so long, but I've had some issues with college and housing to sort out.
-
I got my business cleared up, I'll be sending the next page out tomorrow!
I feel like a huge ass for taking so long with this...
-
Ah, no worries! I'd just been going to poke you about it, but RL comes first.
-
Weee I get the last page~
Wait that means the pressure of a great conclusion is on me
Aw shitfuck
-
Doesn't need to be particularly great. I mean it's not like some kind of epic conclusion thing.
-
Making all his conclusions epic is part of what makes a true man.

Haha think I swooned a bit Haku XD Well now your gonna have to live up to it~
-
Okay, I finally have SockHyren's comic! On to Patorikku!
-

-
So, er, after I got Patorikku's, I forgot to send it along to Aizo until just now. |3
-
orz
-
the success of this entire comic rests in your hands, hakureiSM!
-
Um, no. It's not with me yet.
-
you think haku's got it bad?
I got to setup the epic ending, and then get overshadowed by haku's even more glorious ending!
ah well
-
And I have now sent it to you! :3
-
Ooh bby :3
I screwedz
-
I shall have to make it truely epic, now.
SHIT GOT REAL
While listening to this, even. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v25MaXwopNI)
Haku, be sure to end it well when it comes to you!
-
Absolutely no pressure. None at all~
;-;
-
Etch mentioned on IRC that he's working on it.
-
Cool
-
Etch is still apparently working on it ... :V
-
I was about to ask. :/
-
Final Inking is a go.
Hopefully, I can get it up tonight...
-
Don't worry, I'll be sure to put pressure on you on IRC :3
-
UPLOADAN
Haku... I have done all that I can do...
IT IS UP TO YOU

-
And there it goes! The last page has been sent to HakureiSM!

-
Agh
This is like
The hardest thing ever
I'll start tomorrow, my head is floating somwhere
-
Agh

Don't float too far now. It'll take forever to get back if you do!
-
how far along are you, Haku?
The final product's completion is killing me with anticipation!
-
Agh it's in progress, it's in progress
-
PMs:
Anything resembling progress on the comic, or should we just declare mission-faileo? :V
Nonono I was just about to PM ya.
It's just that RL hit me and I have a gigantic mass of college crap up mine :s
But I'll do it, I promise, and I haven't forgotten.
-
Sorry, guys :s
-
typical lazy miko
-
so, uh.
-
Let me apologize, really.
I haven't forgotten, I swear. I've been thinking about this all week, and have a solid idea on what to make, but if my mother catches me drawing these days I'm fried.
Seriously, sorry. As soon as my last 2 exams are past, which is this week, I'll finish up.
-
Kay.
-
Seriously, sorry. :ohdear:
I'm not making this up.
-
Kay.
-
Kay.
uninterested?
-
uninterested?
More like calling BS I think =p
-
Yeah but it's not :<
I'm working on it.
-
Yeah but it's not :<
I'm working on it.
Keep it up amigo. Ive seen what ya can do, so im lookin forward to the finished result.
-
I just noticed, a week from today will be exactly two months after
tomorrow
so I'm going to release this on that day whether or not I have an entry from HakureiSM by then. I've got it all ready and everything! :P
-
No seriously, I'll do it today.
I'm really sorry about this, I fucked up so bad
It's in progress~
-
Um, fine.
EDIT: Going for exactly two months, a little under 22 hours left.
-
k, so, finished. :V
(http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w88/KimikoMuffin/th_ComicCompo1-01.jpg) Here is link, to my site, I guess. (http://dizzy.pestermom.com/?p=art-comiccompo)
-
... fuck I'm working on it right now.
But yeah, this is all my fault so
edit: Still, you didn't have to do that, you know.
You ignored my PMs on purpose(yeah, those about taking my mother to the hospital and all, those little things), pretended I didn't do anything until the end, and then put that 'no last page because HakureiSM is a lazy dick' on your goddamn website.
That was just cheap.
-
I lol'd at hard at the comic, going from nue in hakugyokurou to gensokyo's president
kinda wish you made the ending yourself though, having a large blank page isn't as fun :P
-
I didn't ignore it, I just didn't get a chance to respond. I'd just assumed that the two days following your previous PM would be enough for you to finish it. Sorry to hear about your mom, but you still took two months to complete something with a three-day deadline.
And don't put insults in my mouth either. I simply stated that you didn't complete it.
-
Oh no, you didn't put a big white image with centered black text on your red website. You just 'said I didn't complete it', that's all you did.
You were completely mature about it, yes.
Oh, and you didn't get a chance to respond my messages. Right. You didn't have 10 seconds to click reply and say "got it", nevermind that they meant I had to spend 3 days taking care of my mother who couldn't goddamn walk.
You're such an honest person, right?
-
Okay, look, I'm sorry about that, and I've removed the image. Calm down. Raging never helps.
-
Haha come on Haku, id be a bit miffed at ya too =p No reason to get upset.
That aside, it was pretty interesting, though what Nue was doing in the netherworld in the firstplace is still lost to me XD Great job guys.
-
I completely lost it at "Eyes of Warrihurr Perception". :3
-
No one needs to get mad at anyone, I think.
Also, I'm still kind of laughing at the whole comic. I'd start one myself, but I don't have a website to put it up on, and DA would be too much of a hassle.
