23 hour 50 minutes Challenge!
I some how managed to avoid the pub last friday night and do the Comikaze 24 hr Challenge. I woke up early saturday morning and got all ready to go. The words that needed to be inserted into the story were - FLY, DANCE, and BOMB. They could be drawn in or part of the dialog or whatever they just had to be in there.
I learned a couple valuable lessons on doing a 24 hr comic, so next year I'll be coming loaded for bear, packin' heat and blah blah blah. More about this later.
This is my 8 pg entry, entitled "Fight Fight Fight".
This page Fighty says dance.
Got the word, 'fly', on this page.
It was this page that killed my Copic marker. Not much greys after this.
Got, 'bomb' in here. Twice. This is also where I fell asleep with a marker in my hand. See in the last panel all that blood on Grizzly's lower back and under his arm? I drew that while I was asleep. I'm that good.
So that's it. It took me 23 hrs and 50 mins to finish it. I think it's alright.
Here's what I learned from the experience:
1- Don't bother fucking around trying to write a story before you start drawing. I did and it almost fucked me. I was about four hours in before I started doing the pencils for the first page. Start drawing right from the get go. The story will come as you go along. Or isn't at all important, as some people showed, and their entries were fuckin' awesome too. So there.
2- Get two of everything you'll be using. My Copic marker shat itself, and having another would've been magic. Also stock up on cigs and whatever else. 24 hours is a long bastard time.
3- Doing finished inked art isn't important at all. Next year I'm gonna be all "fuck ink" an' shit. Just get it on page. And if you're scanning your pages you can adjust the darkness and all that crazy crap with PhotoShop or whatever you use. Nuts to you.
There's probably about ten million other dos and don'ts but I can't think of them right now. Or maybe I can. Maybe I just don't want to tell so you wont know what they are and I will and you'll fuck up next year and I wont. How's that grab ya.
To sum it up, it was tiring, and at points boring as Hell. But like Fighty said, you better fucking believe it was worth it.
I really don't think I have a chance of winning or even placing, but fuck me it was fun.
Here's all the other entrys. I think you need to be a member of the Pulp Faction forums to see the Mature entries, so suck it.

The mature entries weren't mature at all. Hmm.
