Fysh

Yep, open to anyone who wants to send me stuff. Other than the theme, there's no restrictions.

I have a little something being built in photoshop and manga studio, it's so rough you wouldn't believe it! I've never ever used either programme before, and I've never done any sort of picture on my comp before - I might submit it if I can get it in on time Woo!

Does it matter if its kinda a rough pic? basically its just line work, a very small amount of colour and no shading.

Fysh

Whatever you want to send in is fine, I'm not imposing any level of draughtmanship on people - it's all just a bit of fun

Jonesy3110

Kewl thanks Is the end of next week too late? Ill probably have it before then - but I might not, and also, How do I get it to you and in what format is best?

Fysh

End of next week is fine, I generally seem to skate close to the deadline myself Email your entry to me at fyshbowlcomics @ gmail dot com, JPG or PNG seem to be the most common formats but anything I can open in Photoshop is fine. The higher the resolution the better, I can always scale down the size if I need to.

Jonesy3110

I got my entry finished sooner than I thought! I emailed it onto you I actually completely changed my original idea and made a whole new one and got it finished in about an hour! Yay !

Jonesy3110

..and my Undead army grows! It's too easy to lure people with free pie.

Fysh

Excellent! I've just had a look at Jonesy3110's entry and I quite like it

Should have mine finished tonight or tomorrow sometime (bloody thing ended up at 9 pages long), look forward to seeing what you've got for us this time Ms. Ninja.

Now...did someone say pie?

Jack B. Badd

Pie linky! \o/

Hey I just read through the thread. Is there gonna be a poll? I might just start to hyperventilate at the thought of such a high pressure situation. no ones voting for me no ones voting for me *gasp* etc. No Im kidding :P Is there a poll?

Oh and I just looked at thumbninjas profile ..... your birthday is the day after mine! Weird....

Hoovers

Just sent you my entry Fysh- hope it gets to you in one piece! Can't wait to see the other entries for this one!!!

Fysh

Yep, got your entry Hoovers and must say I really liked it. I'll put up the entries in the next day or two for all to see

Jonesy3110

What kind of stuff do u have in mind for round 9? I would try and come up with a suggestion but I'm in work so all I can think of is debt collection and personal injury claims :P

Briony Noh

Is that a suggestion? Cos I kinda like 'Debt Collection'.

Jonesy3110

Uh yeah sure! Actually debt collection could be kewl lol Oops an accidental suggestion!

Briony Noh

The best ones usually are.

Of course, if it turns out you already have a 24 page comic done on that subject, well, then, we'll all know just how 'accidental' it was, won't we?:p

Jonesy3110

Lol of course I dont! ...... not 24 pages anyway :P

Fysh

I wouldn't be too sure on that matter, my entry for round 8 ended up being 9 pages long and I had it finished by Monday even though I only started drawing it Wednesday last week. You'd be amazed how much you can get drawn when you decide that things like getting enough food or enough sleep are secondary concerns...

Jonesy3110

I know what you mean, I didn't sleep for a week when I was doing my debt collection comic Oh and my next entry is going to be totally hand drawn, I've learned that my digital camera does an awesome scanner impression. Totally believable.

Briony Noh

I used to be able to do that, but then I tried some pie and ... brain ... what brain??

Jonesy3110

Gaargh ha ha :P

Jonesy3110

How many entries were there this round anyway?

Fysh

Five entries in total, which seems to be about the average. Much as I'd like to, I can't get established comic folks to take part, because chaps like Bob Byrne and his ilk say that paying comics work has to take precedence (an understandable perspective) and chaps like Adam from Drastic or Ger from Neko The Kitty just ignore me when I harangue them to take part. Gits.

Update should be tonight sometime, I promise

Tis a pain but paying gigs do have to take a front seat I do keep meaning to try and do something for you hon but every time the deadline comes round I seem to have an illustration deadline that has to come first.........I miss drawing for fun....I had a life drawing session last night and it was so nice to just draw for me and no one else, came home on a buzz meaning to get some comic work done but feel asleep

Fysh

In fairness if I was spending 8-9 hours a day working in an animation studio I'm fairly sure I'd be far less keen on then spending another 2-3 hours working on comics. (I know I definitely hate getting asked for help with sticky computer problems after a long day at work...)

At the same time, I kind of like the "open mic night" vibe that the challenge has ended up with as a result, so all is good.

Hmm...I like the idea of "Debt" or "debt collector" as a theme, any other suggestions?

Fysh

Entries are online here. From my side it looks like everything's working, but then again it always does...

Let me know if anythings b0rked and I'll fix it as soon as I can...

Jonesy3110

OMG! Mines a pile of poo next to all yours! I'll try harder next round :P Oh and the link worked fine for me

lol fysh man ever time you do the crotch cam thing "he had no willy" kept popping into my head!!!

Jonesy3110

Lol I thought crotch cam was from the willys point of view :P
