PostSubject: 24-Hour Comic Day   Fri Oct 01, 2010 10:33 pm

Hey everyone! Are you ready for 24-Hour Comic Day? What is 24-Hour Comic Day, you ask? Well, just scroll down a little, this will explain all:

Quote:

THE DARE:

To create a complete 24 page comic book in 24 continuous hours.

That means everything: Story, finished art, lettering, colors (if you want 'em), paste-up, everything! Once pen hits paper, the clock starts ticking. 24 hours later, the pen lifts off the paper, never to descend again. Even proofreading has to occur in the 24 hour period. [Computer-generated comics are fine of course, same principles apply]

A clarification: a true 24 hour comic is done by one person in 24 hours. The point of a 24 hour comics event is that each person is trying to complete a 24 page comic. Working side by side is a matter of mutual support, not mutual effort.

That being said, if you and some collaborators really want to work together in a marathon of comic creation, 24 Hour Comics Day seems a great day to do it!

No sketches, designs, plot summaries or any other kind of direct preparation can precede the 24 hour period. Indirect preparation such as assembling tools, reference materials, food, music etc. is fine.

Your pages can be any size, any material. Carve 'em in stone; print 'em with rubber stamps; draw 'em on your kitchen walls with a magic marker. Anything.

The 24 hours are continuous. You can take a nap if you like but the clock will continue to tick! If you get to 24 hours and you're not done, either end it there ("the Gaiman Variation") or keep going until you're done ("the Eastman Variation"). I consider both of these the Noble Failure Variants and true 24 hour comics in spirit; but you must sincerely intend to do the 24 pages in 24 hours at the outset.



24-Hour Comic Day will take place 12:00 PM tomorrow (Saturday) until 12:00 PM Sunday. If you take the challenge, post your comic here! (In a spoiler tag.) Everyone who participates will receive the very first Super Marathon Bros forum badge, the 24-Hour Comic Badge!

EDIT: 24-Hour Comic Day is over, but that doesn't mean you can't make a 24-Hour Comic. If you make one at anytime and post it here, you can still win the badge!

I decided to take Katie Tiedrich's approach to the 24 hour comic.. except I can't draw nearly as well, so here's some stick figures! Very Happy
Hours 1-3:
 

Hours 4-5:
 

Hours 6-8:
 

Hours 9-11:
 

Hours 12-14:
 

Hours 15-17:
 

Hours 18-24:
 

Hours 25-26:
 

And that's all of them! I had a lot of fun doing this, and I ended up going over 24 because I counted the hours before the challenge started. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
