Webcomic Secret Santa!

[Squark]

Rules: Submit your name here, after the 15th I'll assign everyone who joined a webcomic to draw a guest comic for, with the exception of the worst webcomic on the boards (a.k.a. mine). Please do the geust comic in you own style, so if Jason's computer is in one piece in time, he'd do just stick figures, for instance. However, since next to all of us do oots style, the only real difference will be detail.. (I.E. Banjo's uber detailed style vs. Almighty Salmon's almost indistinguishable from Oots Style). The geust comic will be non-canon, and will be posted on Christmas.


Any Takers?

[Almighty Salmon]

Sounds like fun, you can count Failing Saves in.

[Serpentine]

I has no webcomic :smallfrown:

[Nameless]

Although I do not fully understand what I will to do for a guesst comic, A Story Of Death is in.

[banjo1985]

Go on then, I'll submit Whitefeather, though since when have I ever been uber detailed? I'd say I'm just overly complicated! :smallamused:

[BRC]

Even though I went on a random hiatus, I really should submit Rob vs Jack.

[Sneak]

Damn, makes me wish I still had my comic.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Remember signing on

[Nameless]

Does it have to be Oots or can I make it a nother comic style? :smallamused:

[Ichneumon]

Does anyone remember Opening?

I would like to submit that one.

[banjo1985]

Does anyone remember Opening?

Very much so! I've still got my Opening-style Banjo somewhere. That would be a nice one to have, dress up a pawn as Santa!

[onasuma]

In with Cktm (http://www.cktm.thewebcomic.com). Looks like fun. (Prays some people would understand warhammer enough to make a decent joke)

[Ichneumon]

Also, because I am not sure if anyone remembers Opening, after a few pages I started posting it on another site: Opening (http://jleuven.net/)

[ElanROCKS]

Er.....I don't have a comic but have been looking to start one. It's gonna be called, Twins-An OOTS style webcomic

[Pirate Phane]

Imma got no webcomic.
Am I still eligible?

[Squark]

Ok, List:


Failing Saves- by Almighty Salmon and Undertaker
A Story of Death- by Nameless
Remember- by Lyinginbedmon
Whitefeater- by Banjo1985
Rob vs. Jack- by BloodyRedCommie
Opening- by Ichneumon
Cktm- by Onasuma
Twins- by ElanROCKS (If he can get it up in time, he's in, otherwise, we can't have someone do a proper guest comic)

Coordinated by- Squark, Author of Tales of Squark

@Nameless: A guest comic is basicly a non-canon strip done by a different artist, typically while the artist is at a convention.

[Bryn]

Add En Guard (http://enguard.smackjeeves.com/comics/) to the list please. :smallsmile:

[[Insert Neat Username Here]]

I'll submit the Generica Chronicles. (I really need to get back to updating now that all my huge projects are done)

[Mr_Saturn]

So we are drawing guest comics for other comics?

Ring V is up for it. :smallbiggrin:

[onasuma]

Add En Guard (http://enguard.smackjeeves.com/comics/) to the list please. :smallsmile:

You actually gonna use the guest strip this time round? :smallbiggrin:

[Mr_Saturn]

@Nameless: A guest comic is basicly a non-canon strip done by a different artist, typically while the artist is at a convention.

So its best if the webcomic has been made because we will have no idea who your characters are and what they are like so we can make a proper stereotype. :smalltongue:

@Nameless: Seeing as you don't have which webcomic you're doing, that's understandable. :smallbiggrin:

[Nameless]

It's time to use that... thing... in head... thingy...:smallsigh: ...

LOOK! A Goose! *chaces*

[Squark]

Any other takers?

[ElanROCKS]

Ok peoples, I got my comic up! http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3643315#post3643315

[JasonDoomsblade]

I'll submit The Adventures of Popcorn Man.

[JMobius]

A neat idea. My comic hasn't been running long enough to be sufficiently well developed for this, but if you do this again next year, I'm in. :)

Most of these comics are about half as long as yours so far. Some are even shorter.

[Squark]

Closed. I'l pm as soon as I finish with modifying some miniatures...

[Squark]

PMs sent. Now... Guidelines:

1. If possible, familliarize yourself with the comic's running jokes, if it has some. I.E. the Ring V Line "You (verb)-ed my (Same verb)ies!" (More funny in context)
2. Try not to post a strip that would be out-of-date.
3. PM me if you have any questions. DO NOT tell the person you have that you have them, it ruins the surprise.
4. If the comic is off-sight, PM the url for the comic to the person on Christmas Eve so they can post it on their site on Christmas. For On-sight comics, just make a post in the apropriate Thread


@Elanrocks: Because you didn't get a comic up in time, I couldn't expect anyone to do a guest comic. Sorry, Maybe Next Year.


Oh, and this will be an anual thing, so be sure to come back next year. Also, I think I'll give responsibility for assigning comics to someone else next year. If there are any volunteers, that is.

[Mr_Saturn]

I wish we could do this more than once a year. Doesn't have to be called "secret santa" though.

[Almighty Salmon]

I got an awesome webcomic chosen for me :smallamused:

Kekeke! *Goes off to plot*

[Lyinginbedmon]

I have a good idea for a comic for mine, it involves blood and siblings :smallwink:

[Ichneumon]

Difficult, but nice. Is it alright if I start with this next week? I have more time then, when does this have to be finished?

[Szilard]

By the 24th I guess.

[Szilard]

By the 24th I guess.

[Squark]

Correct. It should be posted on the 25th, either in the thread if its a on-site comic, or pmed to the author on the 24th if the comic is off-site.

[Szilard]

Maybe every three months or so, there could be a guest strip exchange like this.

[JasonDoomsblade]

Oh joy. What fun this will be!

[Lyinginbedmon]

Maybe every three months or so, there could be a guest strip exchange like this.

Kind of a "guest comic initiative"? Sounds interesting :smallsmile:

[Bryn]

Ooh, interesting series to draw a guest comic for. :smallamused:

I just realised that I will have to post my guest comic a bit early. Specifically on the 21st because I will be going to my cottage for 2 weeks then. I don't have a computer or internet connection there so there's my reason why.

[Nameless]

I have a vague idea but it might not be funny...

I MUST EXPAND!

[Squark]

I just realised that I will have to post my guest comic a bit early. Specifically on the 21st because I will be going to my cottage for 2 weeks then. I don't have a computer or internet connection there so there's my reason why.

PM me with the URL.

[Lyinginbedmon]

Okay, proving once again that I'm fully capable of making a page-a-day webcomic, I've finished my Secret Santa submission, and now await only the date



...but I've finished it over a week in advance...

[JasonDoomsblade]

My guest comic is done. I'll PM the URL to Squark tomorrow.

[Vondre]

Dang! I totally missed it.

Meh. I'll submit Digital Ampersand next year.

[banjo1985]

Oh dear....this may take me some time :smalleek:

I too shall have to submit my comic early, on the 22nd, after that I will be away until the 27th. That's if I can get it done....I have an idea though.....

[banjo1985]

Apologies for the double post...

I've just realised I've commited a faux-paus with my Secret Santa comic. Reading Squarks opening post it said to interpret the comic in your own style, but I've kind of recreated the artists style in my submission, as my own would have taken me weeks!

Hopefully they'll still like it though, it's looking okay at the minute...

I'll PM it to Squark when it's done, and I'll post it in their comic thread probably on the 22nd, as its the last time I'll be online before Christmas. I'm sorry Squark but I want to post it myself then, because I want to see what reaction it gets! :smallbiggrin:

[Ichneumon]

Wait... in what style does it has to be? In your own comic's style or that of the original artist's comic?

[Lyinginbedmon]

Your style

[Almighty Salmon]

Ichneumon:


Please do the geust comic in you own style, so if Jason's computer is in one piece in time, he'd do just stick figures, for instance. However, since next to all of us do oots style, the only real difference will be detail.. (I.E. Banjo's uber detailed style vs. Almighty Salmon's almost indistinguishable from Oots Style).

EDIT: Oh ho ho, Ninja'd by Lying.

[Ichneumon]

Oh alright, so Opening pawns it is...

[Lyinginbedmon]

Oh alright, so Opening pawns it is...

Now that should be interesting...:smallbiggrin:

[Ichneumon]

Also, because the Opening site doesn't have a forum anymore, I would like to ask Squark if the person could also post their Opening Christmas comic here as I think he/she will want to read some reactions. It seems a bit unfair if they don't get any other reactions at all.

I will of course also post the comic on my site.

[Mr_Saturn]

It would be interesting to see opening pawns are oots-style characters too. Technically, what is a shade? :smallconfused:

[Ichneumon]

Hard to say, I originally pictured them (read when I drew the very first page) as these classical greec shade (e.g. dark cloaks and all), but that soon changed to more of a zombie like being. Grey skin, thin.

[Bryn]

I've just finished redrawing one of the characters from my chosen webcomic, and I think it is my most detailed character yet. Perhaps after the Secret Santa I'll offer it up as an avatar to anyone who wants it. :smallcool:

Now i'm really hoping that you got Failing Saves :smallamused:

[Mr_Saturn]

hmmmm, which webcomic has really detailed characters? Or did z-axis spice it up alot? Hmmmm.....

[Ichneumon]

I am so going to laugh when he has Opening....

[Mr_Saturn]

That would be hilarious.


Man, i love webcomic secret santa... :smallredface:

[Bayar]

well...it could become a monthly thing...with a month theme...for example: january: snow theme, june: summer/beach theme...something in the lines...

[Ichneumon]

well...it could become a monthly thing...with a month theme...for example: january: snow theme, june: summer/beach theme...something in the lines...

That would be rather much, it would take to much time from me that I would use for making my actual comics.

[Mr_Saturn]

For it to be an organized event, it would take too much time. A quarter-yearly event is fine though.

If it happened so often, it would lose it's charm you know?

ah, yes, you are right...so, will see alter a quarter year the next theme then :smallbiggrin:

[banjo1985]

*collapses into thread with huge bags under eyes*

I've got one panel left and I'm done. I've been on it all day, and did the character models yesterday. This is fun but damn hard work! I've never had to do a 12 panel comic before :smalleek:

[Lyinginbedmon]

12 panels? Putting aside the fact I've done that before (Though nowhere near as detailed as your style), no-one told you to do 12 panels. I'm sure your recipient will be quite happy :smallbiggrin:

[Szilard]

ah, yes, you are right...so, will see alter a quarter year the next theme then :smallbiggrin:

Then we could do one for Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autum, but its different for the poeple in the southern hemisphere...

[Lyinginbedmon]

Well, there are 12 comics participating (Assuming we count Twins), giving an 8.3% chance of accurately guessing any one. I'm not going to try :smallsmile:

They'd better be...:smallamused:

I had to do twelve panels to get something approaching a story into it. Plus I've mimiced the style of the recipient rather than using my own...that would have taken until next Christmas!

[Mr_Saturn]

Yeah, im doing a double length strip. Its gonna be crazy. I'm cramming for my own christmas filler too.

[Bryn]

Both the characters I need to do are done. The second is also one of the most detailed characters I've drawn.

Now to put them into the actual comic :smallbiggrin:

[onasuma]

Well, there are 12 comics participating (Assuming we count Twins), giving an 8.3% chance of accurately guessing any one. I'm not going to try :smallsmile:

We're not. Squak disallowed it.

[Ichneumon]

I've finished mine, it is 8 panels long. I really missed the pawns. Great to draw them again.

[Bryn]

Santa received; it will appear automatically at 0:00 GMT on Christmas.

As for my own Santa, I'm making good progress (drawing detailed cities in perspective is hard), and will be finished and sent off tomorrow. :smallsmile:

[Squark]

Also, Post them here tomorrow, if at all possible.

[Bryn]

My comic's finished, and sent away to its recipient. It's possibly the best-looking comic I've ever made.

Be warned that it's a fairly large image, over a megabyte in size.

I've said it before, but thanks, Ichneumon, for a fantastic guest comic.

I've edited my comic into my post above, and it's also posted in the main Rob vs Jack thread.

[Ne0]

Z-Axis, that comic is so much awesome, I can't describe it. You deserve an official interwebnet. :smallbiggrin:

Is your Rob also avaliable for adoption?

[Ichneumon]

Have we already seen all the comics? I somehow get the feeling we are missing some.

Err. yeah I'd forgotten this existed until Z-Axis sent me his, and then I was at my grandparents house and therefore away from inkscape!
Fortunetally I have absolutally nothing planned tommorow, so I'll try my best to get it done.

A lot of them were posted on the main thread for their comics. Here are a couple I happen to know where to find:

Yes, mine for Failing Saves is up on that thread. Salmons also stickied it on page 1. I'd link to it or post it here, but my computers being temperamental at the moment.

So...who got Whitefeather? I've had nothing so far, and nothings posted on the thread :smallconfused:

[Bryn]

Bloddyredcommie mentioned that he was away from Inkscape at the time of the Santa and thus unable to do a comic - maybe he got Failing Saves?

That is true with most of his comics. They would be great, much better, if the colours were chosen better.

It is a great comic, but the colours are just badly picked. You should do something about it, this is just postive critisism. Your comics could be epic, if you would change the colours.

Hrm, could you be more specific, are the colors too dark? too monotonous? too purple?

It is to bright, not to light or dark, just to bright.
