Prowling for guest artists

Reinder · Post by **Reinder** » Thu Feb 01, 2001 12:25 pm

Ooooo-kay....So, having put together the bits of meat and organs, strapped the creation to a bench and zapped it with 100,000 Volts of ball lightning, I now have to come to terms with it lurching down the nearby village to decimate the nearby Kindergarten. I'm on the case. Give me some time to fill myself with coffee, and then I'll answer questions.[.........................]First of all, everyone's submission is accepted. That also means that we have submissions to spare so if one of you doesn't make it, that will be quite all right, and if I've got too many, I'll just speed up the schedule for ROCR and feature some submissions later.Second, I'm feeling very well-loved right now. All those submissions, a thank-you note from one artist on my new spotlight, and a new pageview record after what was a lacklustre week. Bliss is here...Howard, I'd be honoured as well to have you on the guest spot. As to your question: whatever you want! I can write some material for you or any other guest, or let you go nuts, with only one arbitrary restriction which puts me in a slightly uncomfortable position because it's at the same time a niggling detail and such a big secret that I daren't even mention it in public. I will just have to wait and see if anyone gives it away.Scrubbbo, I'd love to see people join forces to write a mini-storyline. Go for it if you can organise it.That's it for now. Rosy glows to all of you (and eerie green glows in the Clwydian forest today).

I can because I've got 14 signups <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif"> I will think about guest art for people who take part, and read the strips I don't know yet, but I won't do it on a strict 'quid pro quo' basis. If I get a good idea for a guest strip, I'll be in touch; if not then that doesn't mean I've 'rejected' you - just that I couldn't think of something that would work. It happens. A lot.I'd like finished strips to be less than 600 pixels wide, and less than 50K for B&W strips, less than 70 for color. If you don't know how to do that, send your working files to me and I'll do it. Of course, in exceptional cases I can - uh - make exceptions.------------------

Hey Reindeer, sorry would have offered my services awhile back, but I hardly ever troll the forums.*grin*Well, 18 submissions huh? Wow, if you want that to go up to 19. Give me a yes, I'll warn you now though, I'm not the best at drawing humans.------------------

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>18! They keep coming in. I've also already got one guest piece emailed to me. I will post it on my own forum shortly.4 of you (actually, 3 of you and one cartoonist who contacted me offline) asked for scripts, so I've written a script in 4 parts <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif"> I'll wait a few days to see if I get more script requests; then I'll polish it up and send it.------------------

I'll talk to Scott about it first, if he's not up for it I'll probably want a script.*grin* There is a very good reason I don't write, I'm certain I'm funny... very few people agree with me.

And by all means draw them as animals if you must! That could be fun. I would really like to see as wide a range of approaches as possible. Incidentally, I know at least one major European print comic that made the switch from animals to humans after a few issues (The humorous Western Chick Bill by Tibet).I'm really curious about how far I can take this guest artist thing. It looks like it's gonna be great fun while allowing me to stay on schedule while I prepare for my next epic.
And I'm learning to write for a wide range of styles. Would you like a script or would you rather go it alone (or with Scott)?------------------

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>I'd like that but it isn't required. I've got two very nice colored things in but also a good black and white piece. Since I work in black and white, I don't think I could demand color strips from anyone else.------------------
