UPDATE:We have successfully obtained 11 artists. Sorry for those of you who didn't make it or were unable to make it due to problems, however, I say good luck to you next time. If this is successful as I hope it shall be, then there will be a Open Comics Volume 2, 3, 4 etc, depending on popularity.
So don't worry, you'll get another shot!
In the meantime, you'll notice that we've started our first collaborative effort, and that is designing a logo. Note to artists, once your letter is finished, post them and I'll order them, then later they'll be used as one image to represent the book when it is finished.
Are you a bleeding heart and or artist? Then congratulations! We want you!
Open Comic Book Casting Call, or OCBCC for short, is a project designed to self publish a graphic novel made by us, the artists of the Blockland Forums. The basic premise is simple, and done before, but it could very well be worth it. Once enough artists have been collected, we'll all meet and sketch a rough story plot together, then draw numbers. The person who gets number 1 starts the story with a page or so. When they're done, artist 2 takes over and draws the next few pages, and so on and so on.
The plot is the only thing concrete, the rest is up to the artist with control of the pages. For instance, if one artist introduces a new character, the next one has now that character to use, or that setting, or whatever. It's all up to who controls the story at one point.
If you're interesting in this self published endeavor, then post something to show us your artistic skill, as well as something that shows your ability to tell a story, or even just the ability to improvise.
All rules such as time limits or page limits and story will be fleshed out when we have accumulated enough artists.
For any questions or ideas, contact myself or Worm, for we are the curators of this event.
Good luck with the "audition" fellows!
