Veena needs you ( with guest art and comics )

Eric Theriault · Post by **Eric Theriault** » Wed Oct 11, 2006 5:23 am

As said in the title, I need guest art, and comics, one page or more. It just need to be about the Veena webcomic and it's various characters and situation. I would post that on the first page as part of the regular updates, your site (if you have one) would be linked and the art would eventually be in the art archives.
I'm especially interrested in "manga"interpretations of my characters, or in any very different styles, for that matter.

The main reason for all this is that I won't have time to work on new pages for a good while. I have freelance work to do : i'm hired to do a story for an upcoming issue of "Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". And it just happens as I have no more new pages to update after this month. I want to keep the page alive.

***

After that, i'm unsure about what to do...
The story going on right now has about 15 pages to go before the end. But since i'm working on a lot of other stuff, I won't really be able to put a lot of time on it.

Would you be pissed off if I rebooted to the beginning while I finish the story ? Then at least, new visitors would have something to read on a regular basis instead of feeling that this webcomic is dead.

Your comments are appreciated !

Wait, I can do that. Let's see...one of your characters, and now let's transfer that to, for example, 'Dragonball' style...

I guess I should have picked a different character...

Uh, can I get back to you on this? Is there a deadline?

I'm afraid your stuff is too good...I'd scare away readers.

I concur with the "too good" comment.

And wow, taking time off from an online comic to do freelance comic work for the Ninja Turtles. Such are things some of us can only dream of.

I'll see what I can cook up.

That's pretty sweet, working for the TMNT. I've wanted to do that since I was a kid.

Jackhass, cortland,

Come on, i've seen your comics ! I'll add a banner in the link section to change your mind ! Is that a nice trade ?

Nervous Spy,
I have pages to finish this month. Then, i'll post a message about what will happen, and then guest art if I have any. So early next month (november).
Please have fun with Paul Dixon ! I don't really know DragonBall that much (just read one book) but that's not your art ? Funny, you put a mustache on and it work for anything. See here:

Your site is really cool.

Oh, it is my art - just not my normal style. However, after I finished it, I couldn't help feeling it was a bit...uh, politically incorrect.

But since you've got time, I'll see what I can come up with.

It's your art ? Great !!
I'd like to see what you can come up with, but we could use it too.

Wait...It's got the same belt and pant ?? Did you do it that quickly or not ? Did you re-use some old art ?
I'm confused. I thought you recycled some old DragonBall art...

Oh, that thing about the pants is quite simple:

In fact, I think it might have been Dixon's orange uniform that gave me the idea for the X-over with Dragonball. The only thing I recycled is the background, that was originally done for another fanart.

This is really great !! I want to use it !
I'll write to you privately in a day or 2 (week end stuff to do...).

Jackhass · Post by **Jackhass** » Wed Oct 18, 2006 4:03 am

Here's a Veena for ya'...

I'll probably ink it if I have the time, but I thought I'd put it up now incase I don't.

Eric Theriault · Post by **Eric Theriault** » Wed Oct 18, 2006 5:14 am

Wow !! This is a really great piece ! I love it !
You recognised the bitchy aspect of Veena, but pushed it a bit further than I did so far ! Even the panties are in character !

***
To all:

So far, I have 4 artists who already sent very nice work or will do very soon. I'm still open to others, I still have 2 weeks of comics before the guest art.

Haha...yeah, it wouldn't be proper fanart if the panties were out-of-character!

I think I would like to but I definitely CAN'T do Manga style. I also need a few days to get a better feel for your comic. Sound ok?

Jackhass · Post by **Jackhass** » Thu Oct 19, 2006 2:28 am

Finished colour-tastic version of my previous fanart...

Eric Theriault · Post by **Eric Theriault** » Thu Oct 19, 2006 3:22 pm

PPeeeeeeeeeeeeeerfect !!
I'm writing you privately !

Very okay.
I only asked that because I was curious to see how that would turn out, but so that everyone would feel welcome to try, even if my personnal style is not the most in fashion right now.

Write me privately and i'll get you to references and everything you might be curious to know.

I'm very happy ! I got great art by Glarryg, Justin,
Nervous Spy and Jackhass ready to go soon ! Tomorrow, i'll probably update with a message for the readers and then i'll begin to post that great guest art.
