Keenspace Haunted House Idea

Faith is what credulity becomes when it finally achieves escape velocity from the constraints of terrestrial discourse- reasonableness, internal coherence, civility, and candor. Thus, the men who commited the atrocities of September 11 were neither cowards nor lunatics of any sort, but Men of Faith- perfect faith- and this, it must finally be acknowleged, is a terrible thing to be.

I like inflicting pain and work on others for my own amusement. *whip crack*JexKerome wrote:No why did you have to go and do THAT, Jim?! Now I've got no pretext to slouch around while you guys do all the hard work!! Yeesh, some people are just so inconsiderate nyo...

Existence is a series of catastrophes through which everything barely but continually survives.
Since Jim gave me no choice, I'll force down your throat a couple of sketches. The first is my idea on the event logo. The second and third are an attempt on our tour guide. Looking at it, it seems pretty obvious to me we won't be able to agree on a specific design for him. So we should just agree on a couple of features (one more besides the missing jaw), and then let everyone render it as he/she wishes.

Feel free to borrow from here for your own ideas.

A hat, maybe?
Or an old-style lantern?
We could change the outfit to fit into both each of our individual styles as well as our comics' settings but keep the jawlessness and other couple of features intact, definitely.
(I thought of the guide as a Day of the Dead candy skull, but that's just to Mexican-centric

Actually I am liking what Luprand or Coyotzin have going on there. It keeps in touch with the actuall humor in the comic and less horror thriller/slasher.
Now what about other characters in the house/mansion. (me thinks mansion, more plot devices) Is everyone going to be dressed normally, or in costume? And if costume should that characters creator decide on the costume, or just whoever draws him/her first? Personally I would prefer we each make a costume for out characters before hand. (less confusion) And try to make it simple enough for everyone to draw of course. (we dont want to spend a full day on one panel after all)
And how are we making this funny? There must be a plot of some sort. Is it going to be some wierd mystery involving revenge and murdure haunting the mansion? Or just a fun romp involving lots of pranks and harmless pinching?
I am thinking Luprand's guide is better suited for the fun pranks and humor, but Coyotzin or Jim's for mystery and grim, tortured past.

Who de wha? As far as anything had been discussed, each person was just going to draw their own room of the haunted house with the tour guide being the only common element. Where'd we suddenly get a plot from?

Yeah, It's just halloween pin-ups, with the tour guide to bring them together. I think Crossfire is right, though; the guide should be goofy-looking and harmless mostly, though the fanged nemesis of Jim should fit in well with his Dark Dungeons spoof (just don't have anyone say "I shoot magic missile...at the darkness, Jim. Please.)
On a related note, we still need names. I just tought of another one, tough it's a total rip-off: The Keenspace Horror Picture Show.
And on an unrelated note, Coyotzin's sketch makes me fairly certain I'm the worst artist over at WEE; but that's okay. I know who they are and where they live nyo...

Wow! I haven't been online for awhile, sorry I haven't contributed much. For what it is worth, here is my two cents:
I like JexKerome's 'Keenspace Horror Picture Show', I like the double meaning, a play on 'Rocky', and the fact it is a real picture show.
I like Coyotzin's guide, because of the toonish quality of it, although Jim North's character deserves an honorable mention!
Sorry about my comment earlier about JexKerome's font idea, I do like the idea. I have a bad habit of 'painting the devil on the wall' meaning I start worrying about negative reactions that are not there. Again I like the idea, if anybody doesn't they can speak up for themselves. I hope I'm not sounding like a flip-flopper. LOL
Like I wrote before, I have never participated much in the Keenspace Community, so my next question, who is going to host the start page?
I don't know how this is usually decided, but I suggest either the person who contributed the most (which sure isn't me) or the haunted house cartoonist with the most readership (again, which sure isn't me). LOL

I missed Luprand's picture the first time I read this forum. His guide is pretty cool. I like the cartoon look of that.
I still think I like Coyotzin's guide. I think Coyotzin's guide can be made to be spookier than Luprand's, and more toonish than Jim North's. I'm in favor of Coyotzin's guide, although I could live with any of the three guides.
