[ul]
[li]One panel Strip [/li][li]Three to Four Panel Strips[/li][li]Comic Book [/li][li]Storyboards (NEW!)[/li][/ul]Think of it of a club within the forum for people who WANT to do comics.

GENERAL RULES:
[ul]
[li]Every Wednesday night a new week long thread will be posted on the CGTalk Daily Sketch Forum called:[color=darkorange]Wednesday Night Comic Creators Club XXX: MONTH YEAR [/li]

This will be the CORE thread, created by the moderator, (that would be me)

[ul]
[li]Best Writing [/li][li]Best Story [/li][li]Best Art[/li][li]Most Updates[/li][li]Most Views (IE Highest ratings: I want to keep track on who has been getting the highest number of hits on the WIP thread for the comic…more on this later[/li][/ul]Keep this in mind.
A monthly comic book has 24 pages. And in order to have enough material for a graphic novel you should need to do 6 issues of a comic.

24 * 6 = 144 pages

This is why most pros do a at least a page a day.

And please if you do comic book, do it in multiple of 2.

My advice, KEEP IT SIMPLE

If you think you can’t to a full comic book, do a 3 - 4 panel
newspaper strip. 5 - 10 updates a month are more than enough in my book.
And if you are going to do a comic book, do short stories first , since they usually have
4 to 6 pages. Think Twilight Zone, Tales from the Crypt or Amazing Stories for inspiration.
Good luck

Here’s another Doof comic :slight_smile:

Ep06 - Doof catches a lift

I’m not that happy with this one. I’m thinking I could come up with a more readable/clearer/funnier conclusion. If there are any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.

That was great!

I like the format of your comics…But have you considered maybe using Illustrator to ink and color them?

I bet that at the rate you are going, in no time, you could have enough comics for a collection.

Yet another panel emerges from my morbid brain :smiley:

#5

LOL! Jelo and Windmill, awesome and both hilarious!!!

@Windmill, I got to panel 5 and then saw 8 below it (and didn’t see anything else) and almost choked I laughed so hard. I think for me, the idea that perhaps all Doof had to do was eat the extra weight and everything was solved was funny enough.

#6

@Windmill again: So, if you replaced panel 4 with 5 and moved panels 7 & 8 to 5 & 6 spots (dumping panels 4, 6 & 9), the whole thing would flow and impact fast and still say the same thing.

@Roberto: Thanks, I have considered vectorizing and colour. I’m not sure, something about the scribbly lines and lack of colour I find charming :slight_smile:

I dunno, I may vectorize them at one point in the future. If I were to colour them I would choose a very muted, watercolourish palette.

@FRENZIEDmind: Thanks, I might do what you suggested. I was originally planning the joke to be Doof’s burp released so much gas that it decreased the weight but I don’t think that’s clear or funny at all. I agree, the simple fact that Doof consuming the man releasing the weight is funnier, clearer and more concise. The physical impossibility also adds to the humour.

And here’s one more :smiley:

#9

Funny stuff Jelo! I like those candle holders. Nice looking teeth too! Awesome surface textures and coloring!

This is all I have so far. Been struggling with several ideas (and trying to end the Pair-of-Dummies arc), attempting to make something entertaining while keeping myself interested as well. I’ve been toying with “The Habanero” concept for several years. I think I found a happy place for it finally. :slight_smile:
