The Rules.
Each panel must be square (I measured mine at 5 inches by 5 inches, but choose whatever is comfortable), and easily reproducible in black and white. The finished panels will be presented as 3 inches by 3 inches, or 250 pixels by 250 pixels. Keep this in mind when making little details or type. Each participant will be given the entire story before his panels, and can take the story in any direction in which he/she feels. However, I ask that you respect the work previous to yours and try and play off of it in some way, as opposed to going off on an entirely different direction. This is only a suggestion, and whatever you choose to draw will be accepted. While I would prefer there to be a common element to the comic, namely Barbelith (the big glowing sphere, not the website), and have included it in my panels to start, it is not a necessity. However, if you think it is a good idea, feel free to reintroduce Barbelith in whatever form you desire back into the narrative.
I'm also going to draw another 3 panels to start up a different story line. The main reason for doing this is so that if one story line gets stalled, the other one will hopefully still be chugging along. I am feeling incredibly guilty about all the people who are patiently waiting for a crack at this and hoping to give it a go sometime before 2012. As a side note, there will be separate waiting lists for each project, but, if you have already worked on one, than you'll have to wait until everyone else has had at least one shot on either before you can do the other.
Please don’t dally. Each person will have 3 weeks to draw up their panels and get them sent to me, by computer or by post. If this seems like too little time, please keep in mind that I am not asking for professional work. This is meant to be a fun, dopey, international comic jam. Draw stick figures. If it's good for Matt Feazell, it's good for you. Now, some of the people on here have lives. If your name comes up, and you're in a sticky wicket at that time, it's OK to temporarily decline. We'll fit you right back in the roster when things sort out for you. But please, when you make the commitment, make it concrete. If you fail to make the 3 week deadline the next person will take your spot. Whether or not you're almost finished.
Make sure the email address in your profile is accurate. If you don't have your current address listed, either change it or email me your new one.
The order of the participants will be determined by the first list placed on the previous incarnation of this board. No shoving. If your name is not on the list, and you are interested, put your name in now.
When we have enough material then the entire kaboodle will be packaged in a print zine, and also put online for all to enjoy. If we run out of contributors we'll simply start the cycle anew, or end the saga and start a new story. Every person involved will receive a copy of the zine and will be allowed to reproduce it for their own amusement.
Please don't show anyone else your work or the work of the person previous to you. They'll all see it eventually.
And lastly, any questions can be directed to me at giant_ants@hotmail.com, or on this thread. If you are sending your work to me, please send it to giant_ant1@hotmail.com.
Most of all, go poptastic!
The List.
Moriarty, Hui Neng, Fool, Grant, Patricky, Clive, Rizla, Zenith, Biologic K-9, krew.
New contributors always welcome.
