Since this involves drawing, to believe this goes in the art thread. Correct me if I'm wrong, plz.
Posting this on DA and FA, too.
This is how it works. I'll draw the first page of a comic, and the next person continues the story. There's no set direction, people just get to make it up as they go along. It's an improv! Pretty simple, eh?
All I need right now is for people to sign up, just so there's no confusion of who goes when, or two people don't end up drawing the same page.
You can join any time, you'll just be placed last in the list. Once we get to the last person, it'll circle back to me. Let's see how long we can keep this up before people get bored or we run out of ideas.
If I get enough people(more than two) then I'll start by posting the first comic tonight.
So, sign up! First come, first serve.
Signed up(this is also the order of who's going when)-
Complete list is here. Lemme know if you're not on it! (http://zinacat.deviantart.com/journal/12900610/)
Umm... sure, what the heck. It'll give me a reason to art again.
I'm in.
Awesome, I'll start making a list. And checking it twice.
Question, though. When it comes our turn, how long of a window do we have to do the pic? Just in case I, or another artist, has a few days of work in a row.
Whenever it can get done. Just don't make us wait too long. If you feel you wont be able to get it done anytime soon, you can always opt to be skipped, and the person after you will go.
So there isn't any set format either? (ie. 4 panels horizontal or 4 panels veritical)
Nope, whatever you want. It can be anything from ten panels or just one big picture.
All I want is a comic that continues, in some way, from the comic before it, and allows the person after you to continue the comic.
So, no going off and suddenly starting a completely different story and characters, and no blowing up the universe and killing everyone off. Unless you do it in such a way that the person after you can keep it going somehow.
I'm not really looking for masterpieces or anything. Just something that's fun.
Alrighty then. Now that those are out of the way, I have but one more question to add to this:
Will the comic have a rating to it, or perhaps if you do multiple comics, each will have a different rating?
I personally shouldn't be going too far into an extreme rating past maybe Rebma or so, but at least in terms of what's cool in dialogue and, if need be, fight scenes.
I'd say don't go beyond the rating of the forum. I was kind of hoping it'd stay lighthearted and fun, but you want to give it a dramatic twist, it's only fair to give people a bit of a warning before they click on it. Otherwise, if there's a bit of blood or a lot of cursing, just put a little warning up. I'm going to have faith that a lot of people can handle such things.
... *shyly* I guess I'll try my hand at it then.
I'd assume the comics are linked to this thread for the time being as well right? I'm not really much of an artist and got finals coming up next week, but yea I am interested.
Awesome, I'll add you both.
I went ahead and posted this on FA and DA, just because. After talking about it with a friend, I decided I wanted to get as many people as I can to join. That and it wont be as much work as I initially thought, since I only have to worry about one artist at a time. :B
Sure, why not. Put me on the list, please.
I might join, depending on how many others participate.
21 people have joined so far. If you wanna get in on this, I suggest joining as soon as you can. XD
Getting the ball rolling....

You're up, Kenji!

Now I know why staring at the sun can make you go blind.

Not joining, but...
"I'm going back inside." Bwahaha. XD
Matter of fact, I like that whole panel. Great expression.
I'll participate but it will have to be later in the week. I have a busy schedule.
Uh. I have over 40 people signed up. I think you'll be waiting longer than a week.
40 peoples, eh? Count me in, then.

Yeah, but this'll only work if everyone actually does it or keeps me updated on their progress, instead of the SS, where some people just dissappear on me all together.

Added, lolz.
State on the opener that people have three days to respond, and must have the update in by the end of the week, or they get skipped and it moves to the next person?
Just an idea....
Jeez ya people are fast... I havent collected my thoughts yet.

I was planning on just dropping a meteor... but meteors dont knock.
Hahah, awesome. XD I'll post it and tap Penny tomorrow. I need sleep now.
And yeah, I think no response in 4 or so days=skipped. I know a lot of people are having finals around now, so I'm not going to be very strict about it right now.
Hmm. Whose rack is he supposed to get? ;-]
Could've gone with a meteor delivery. X3
*snickers* Blasted spaniards. Always busting into peoples' houses.
Hehe nice. I think the rack he's refering to is a torture device. Not sure whether thats a good or bad thing. >:3
But it could be a dish rack. Or Fa' Lina's...
Dont talk about the back straighter!
Um... the next part! :blush Zina, I'll upload it to DA and / or FA tonight once I get home.

Sorry about the microscopic font in the word bubbles. I didn't expect that to happen when I scanned it. So here is what the dialogue in each panel should look like:
Panel 1
Zina:Ok, I don't know why our here, but honestly....Yeah I'm gonna tear you apart. Any last words fool?
Spanish Friar Dude:Not again... Guess I'll have to do God's work this time alone....
Kenji:This is too much...My head is starting to ache...he..
Panel 2
Spanish Friar Dude:As a matter of fact, I do....DIE!!!
Panel 3
Zina:Argh!! What did you do to me?!
Spanish Friar Dude:I just gave you a lethal dose of the church's most potent holy water, Serenity. It's so powerful that it causes bizarre hallucinations in its victim, with death 3 hours upon exposure. May God have mercy on your soul!!
Zina:Yeah....it's on now....
Kenji:Hahaha!! Oh god, I need an aspirin!! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Panel 4
Spanish Friar Dude:Aiee! I'm burninating!! With my last breath I curse ZOIDBERG!!
Zina:Meh...They all burn the same....
Kenji:Ugh....I think you gave me a black eye...Whoa!! Overkill much?
Panel 5
Zina:Oops....
Kenji:Hehe....he...
Panel 6
*One minute Later*
Kenji:Eh its just a house...don't worry about it. Either way, we should go get you help Zina.
Zina:Yeah......I'm having trouble seeing straight...damn spaniards.......
Kenji:K, hang on for one sec...I need to get my Harley.
Zina:Alright.
Panel 7
Kenji:Be right back!
Zina's train of thought:I'll be ok....I just need to keep it together........I must not fear.....Fear is the mind killer...
Panel 8
Zina's train of thought:I'll just lie down for a minute to clear my head....yeah.....ah geez......someone is coming.....this isn't real....it can't be....
Panel 9
Zina:Gah!! Back away! This isn't real! You're not real!!
Kenji:K, I'm back Zina! Zina?
Panel 10
Kenji:Well I can't find my bike....I think someone stole it....Zina you need to calm down, there is no one else out here besides us..
Zina:Ok so thats not really Master Chief behind you then right?! Christ!!!
Kenji:Wait....what?
Oh boy...Dont look now long ears
QUE!?
I had a Harley?!
And someone stole it before I even knew!? There shall be a hanging for this!
Not to be rude, but Who is next?
:erk
PBH
C-rex. I talked to him a few days or so ago, and have yet to hear back. If I don't hear anything soon, I'm just gonna say screw it, and skip him.
Thanks ZC.. I would just like to see this keep going...
PBH
Indeed. I want a turn again. :3
yesh... its gonna be months before weze get our turns again.
to heck with it by the time it's my turn no one will be taking the improv seriously, and about 30 artists will peter out.
You mean someone is taking it seriously now? ;-]
I am :3 >:3
