AnimeOTK Summer Art Contest 2008!

[RobM]

It's that time now, ladies and gents. The summer art contest is here~!

Now, in the absense of Elmantonegro I'll be running my own in a VERY different format from usual.

Those artists taking part will be jointly creating a short manga comic in their own style...
Which means, each artist will be drawing ONE PAGE from basic storyboard I'll be providing without them knowing what the other artists have drawn.

IF you want to take part in this competition I'd like you to PM me or contact my MSN if you have it and I'll provide you with two drawings. One is a reference of the two characters that I've drawn (and each artist will have the same one) and the other is what you need to draw... a simple lineart storyboard of one of the pages (chosen at random from the comic). Each page is one or two panels, maybe one or two bits of dialogue. Not that different from Elmantonegro's original comic style, with the difference that each page will be different, rather than the same.

So, what's the big idea?
Well, at the end of the competition when all the artists have supplied their finished drawings to me, I'll be posting and each artist can actually see just what the others have done!
Since each artist will be drawing the comic page blind without any idea what the story is or what the other pages look like the results will look very interesting~

* Artists who are interested, PM me~

* Ideally, I'm looking for about 10 artists to do one page each, more if required.

* Comic will be F/F, semi-cons with two girls in their twenties.

*Drawings can be on computer, or hand-drawn.

* You'll have about two weeks to the drawing, the person who submits theirs last or takes too long will be in trooouble~

* The prize is... neglible, I'm afraid. But who does it for stuff anyway?

Hm, trying to think of possible prizes...Perhaps you could write a short story of the winner's choice, Robbie ^^ Hehe. This makes me want to start my own contest (with, of course, the completion of this one, first). How does one go about starting one, anyhow? Can anyone do it?

[RobM]

You're right, I could easily write a short story for the winner, if thats what they're interested in~

[Kira_Wolf_Cub]

Well I'm in now that exams are over

[Pastel]

count me in as i finally have a scanner!

[Macha]

Wouldn't it be better to have some variety? So far, all contests were F/F(or maybe slightly X/F, in theory). All manto ones, this one. Why not have F/M or M/M one for a change

Oh well. But yeah, I agree, you should write a story for the top 3 people. It's not a contest if there's no rewards. ^^ Otherwise it's just a "look, I got a story here, please illustrate" given official support.
While nice, it's just not really a proper contest.

I'd like at least one more, maybe two~


The base comic is scripted. All artists will get TWO PAGES to draw. One spanking and one plot/talking page. The characters are sketched and the Artists who want to take part will have thier pages eMailed and/or PMed to them on MONDAY. These pages are secret and they are *not* to share them with each other. It's a blind challenge, you will have no idea whether the page you're drawing is at the start or end of the comic, who each character is or even WHY it's happening~
You'll all get the dialogue and you can choose any font, size and style you like to add it.

You'll have two weeks from the Monday to do the pages (Obviously, if you finish quicker send 'em to me and we may be done within a few days) and we vote on the best drawn as well as the coolest as always~

As stated, pages go out on Monday, if you want to take part post here in the thread and quick~

[RobM]

All artists now supplied with their storyboards.
Share them and die, art-slaves~

Now, go for the prize, check your eMails and get going.
You have two weeks.

Have fun~
