"Art" "jam"--Who's interested?

[BenitoCereno]

So Exiter's post of the page Matt and he did for the first combined effort comic story (back before they were called "art jams" because art jams were something else entirely), I started to get the urge to do another one. I know other people have tried this to no avail, but I just want to see if maybe we can generate some interest on this one. If people are interested, I will write a script for it.

However, I am more than familiar with the fate of this type of thing: it gets started and never finished. I seriously want to finish one, even if that means it has to be black and white, or some people do multiple pages, if it's two pages long, whatever.

So let me know if you're interested, and further, what kind of story you'd be interested in. I don't know what kind of story I might do yet, but I'm open to suggestions.

I expect to see replies from Chris, Doom, Deforge, Matty, Randy, anyone else who considers me a friend, and artists who are good and aren't currently working on a more pressing (i.e., to be published) assignment.

Thanks. I look forward to your replies, even if I have to stick this thread to get them.

[Chris Piers]

I'll pencil a page. Just keep it at 6-8 pages if you can, these things are hard to organize beyond that. And make it something you like so that it's interesting, like a few of the Technet busting someone out of a penal colony or robbing a space bank.

Do whatever but as far as your question goes, "yeah, I'd be interested in doing pencils on a page of an art jam."

[DeForgeo]

I'll pencil and ink a page if you want, but it'll take a bajillion years.

So you've been warned.

[penciljack]

I'll consider doing a page, once I see the script ;)

I feel badly that the last attempt at this never seemed to get off the ground. So let's start out simple. Benito's writing the script, so let's just deal with pencils right now. Once we have all the pages pencilled, then we'll recruit inkers, etc. I think that could end up maximizing the participation...

[InkDrop]

I'll pencil a page.

PEACE,
Drop

[penciljack]

And I've just finished reading the Hellboy tpb, the Right Hand of Doom, and it occurred to me how cool it is. Let's do a Hellboy story, or if nothing else, a story in that genre.

[Chris Piers]

Heartily seconded as I've also been reading through the Hellboy TPBs lately (and there's a lot more of them than I realized... my poor wallet).

[Exiter]

if you do hellboy I'll be happy to pencil a page


uhhh sometime at the end of october

[BenitoCereno]

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeet. I can definitely do something in the Hellboy genre. Werewolves, vampires, ghosts, something of that nature. As for Hellboy himself, well, I've only read Seed of Destruction and Third Wish, so I'll see how much justice I can do him.

Damn. I didn't expect to get Terry and Kevin. Yeah, this will rule.

So I'll be busting out my Encyclopedia of Ghosts and Spirits to find something good.

In the meantime, I'll save the Kylun story I dreamed up earlier tonight for some other time.

heck, i think i was just scared of committing to that whole 6 or 7 page story...i think i would be able to handle a page...and if it's hellboy, i'd definitely like to get involved!!!

i guess i could pencil a page (i don't do that enough, do i?) :)

[red7ine]

hell, throw my name in too... I'll do a page of pencils and offer to ink a page of someone else's....


vaught

[Chris Piers]

That may be a full crew right there then, depending on the script legnth.

[shinolahead]

If we can start by next week, and if there's still room, i'm in for a page.

[BenitoCereno]

OH EM GEE


Okay, it's on now. These are the pencilers I will take, and I will write a story 8 pages long, as there are eight pencilers.

For the record, the pencilers are (as of today, but potentially subject to change):

1) Deforge
2) Chris Piers
3) Penciljack
4) Inkdrop
5) Exiter (whom I doubt would be the only one finishing at the end of October)
6) Steampunk
7) red7ine
8) shinolahead

I'm going to try my damnedest to write a Hellboy story.

And Matt, I almost considered using kappas in the story, just because they're funny and cool. But I think I'll go with something else.

[shinolahead]

Heh - Yessir, kappa seem very cool. I was reading about them in my big book of mythology and that quote just stuck out as funny.

"BLAAAAAH! We are kappa. We come from the dark water to drink your BLOOD! AAAHHHHHHH...what's that? you got cucumbers?
Well, consider yourself safe...........................for now."

Just sounded so Monty Python.

[Chris Piers]

Frolic in brine
monsters be thine

[DrVictorVonDoom]

I'll pencil a page, or if you've already got enough people to do that, I'll ink.
I was supposed to ink the other art jam...oh well, hopefully this'll fare better.

[DEVin]

I wanted to pencil damnit.....













((DEVin!))

[Chris Piers]

Frolic in brine

[MrDowntown]

Yeah I was gonna jump in too, if some sucka jumps out I'll fill a place. . . after Devin, Doom etc

[misfitX]

did xadrian ever finish his art-jam? i kind of lost sight of that one

[Chris Piers]

I could be mistaken but I think it migrated to harveyturnbolt.com

[misfitX]

no thats a different one...wonder what happened to this one...


speaking of the one at turnbolt...you guys should check it out, its pretty cool

[Steampunk]

here's hoping my page will be mostly backgroundless ;)

[Spidey]

DUDE! You gotsta let me in this one PLEEZ!
I'll gladly pencil a page. I could even ink and color one if its neccessary.

Add me to the list man, I've been itchinf for an ArtJam for a while now.

BTW, when can we expect the script?
And is 8 pages enough to capture a gripping hellboy story? <--(thats me just trying to squeeze in more pencilers)

[BenitoCereno]

Grr. Okay. How about I write two scripts, and we'll have two going simultaneously? I'm currently working on Hellboy (no kappas, but there should be plenty of zombies), and I'll send it to the first group of folks as soon as it's finished.

But I also have an idea for a somewhat wackier story involving Kylun and Widget, which would have dimension-hopping, weird looking aliens, and sword-fighting. If those of you who didn't get in the first round want a crack at that, say so. I'd really like to work with some of you guys who've piped up since the first list.

Keep in mind, I'm going to need inkers, colorists, and letterers too, eventually.

[Joel Harris]

I'll..... eventually..... color a few pages if you'd like.

[Chris Piers]

I can letter as many pages as you would like.

[penciljack]

Benito, these things don't have a very high completion rate. Let's try to do one at a time. Anyone who didn't get in on this one can get involved in the next one, or can be listed as "alternates" in case one or some of us can't finish a page, etc. Anyway, I think we'll have better luck if we approach it one at a time. And probably a better finished product, too.

[Spidey]

I agree, if you cant get us in the first one for penciliers we'll just wait for the second (in which we get dibs on pencils right?).

Since I wont be penciling you can put me down as a colorist.

[BenitoCereno]

For the record, a draft of the script is completed. It's currently being proofread, and once any and all necessary changes have been made, I'll send each artist the page I would like them to draw.

[erikk22]

put me down as an alternate. I'll get in on the next one for sure.

[xadrian]

I'd like to comment on the art jam that fell apart, we had a script and the characters and I never got one page from anyone. After a while I stopped getting responses from people via email. The last post was actually CWMax's rendition of the characters.

I wish this jam the best of luck, it looks like it may have more star power than the last one.

And no, the one we had didn't end up on HT.com, we're still trying to flesh out a new one, although it looks fun if we can get it going. Had I seen this one earlier I'd have tried to jump on it.

Something like that, yes.


I've rewritten a bunch of the dialogue, and I'm just waiting on a little more feedback before sending out a final version.

[BenitoCereno]

All proofers heard from at this point, and their points taken into consideration.

All artists should have their assignment in their PM boxes.

[von]

i'm not so sure about the hellboy thing but i'll give it a shot. i'm down for 2-3 pages. if you'll have me.

[red7ine]

coolio... should we all decide on what Hellboy is wearing or anything? trenchcoat, pants, guns whatever?


vaught

[Chris Piers]

I put him in his traditional trenchcoat with his belt that holds his gun and has 3 or 4 pouches. That's pretty much what he always wears.

[penciljack]

Yeah. Standard issue Hellboy

[erikk22]

I want a hellboy page! please

[Chris Piers]

I think you're going to have to wait for the next one, dude. The pages have already been sent out and are being worked on.

[Steampunk]

blah, can't he lose the coat by my page? ;) i've drawn a pretty decent figure with back muscley bits and whatnot, and they unfortunatley have to be covered by a trenchcoat...stupid mignola and his stupid costume designs ;) hehe

[Chris Piers]

Hey if you can find a way for him to take it off and put it back on within whatever you have to tell... ha ha.

[BenitoCereno]

New update:

Chris Piers is faster than you all. I just got his page, and it is GREAT.

Can't wait to see the other pages.

[Steampunk]

damn!!

well, send chris to school from 10 till 7 30, then we'll talk ;)

and i suppose we have to wait till the end to see it, right? daaammn!!

anyhoo, what's the plan for inks? do we choose an inker whenever each page is done? or in a whole phase when every page is complete?

also, if we're having trouble with panels or something, should they not be posted on PJ for help? or what? hmmm

[anim82000]

Hey All,

I just noticed this thread, and I was hoping I could contribute as a colorist.

So, yeah. When the time comes, uh... yeah.

[BenitoCereno]

Randy--

Hopefully we can get some people to volunteer as inkers. If we can get 8, I'll pair them all up, and send each inker his or her page as the pencils are completed.

As it is, it looks like Doom is going to be the only inker.


anim8--

Hell yeah, you're in.

[Exiter]

I'll ink my page and someone else's if need be
Im going to ink my page regardless

[BenitoCereno]

Yeah, that's another thing I forgot to mention--any penciler who wants to ink his own page, please feel free to do so, but let me know, so I don't give your page to someone else. Also, send me the pencils when they're finished anyway.

[DeForgeo]

I want to ink my own page, because

1), my scanner doesn't pick up pencil well and
2), my pencils are always really sketchy

[Steampunk]

i could always ink my page (might eventually, no matter what), but i'd rather see someone else do it!! i think that captures the spirit of *the jam* more ;)

i'd be interested to see what deforge would do with it (go canada!!)...but really, anyone deemed fit (and interested) should go ahead ;)

(oh yeah, since benito is almost like an editor as well, maybe he could just pick inkers whose styles match the pages as they come in...wh oknows :P )

[Chris Piers]

Well, I don't really want to mail my actual page away, so how were you planning on having inkers do their pages, Benito? Are there any inkers capable of printing pencils out on bristol boards or something? I mean, inking on a piece of printing paper doesn't work so well.

I mean, I can ink my page if need be. What are the options? Let me know so that if I am to ink my page I can start soon.

[Spidey]

I think he was leaning more towards digital inking, right?
Thats pretty much why I bowed out of the inking list, I haven't yet mastered the digi-inkin' yet.
But I'm still lookin fer a page to color if you want Benito, but I guess you'll arange the coloring jobs after all the inks are in.

[BenitoCereno]

Don't worry, Chris. Your page is covered.

[Chris Piers]

Ok, so long as you're sure.

[jacon]

yo, i down for inking anybody's page no matter what

[Chris Piers]

Frolic in brine
Monsters be thine

[Spidey]

So Benito are you giving these guys a dealine or do they have "Joe Mad" priveledges?

[BenitoCereno]

I'm afraid with some of these guys, if I imposed a deadline, they'd have to drop out. I have some names here I don't want to lose, so I'll let them do it at their leisure, but taunt them as pages by other people come in before theirs.

Just a reminder, Chris Piers comes in way ahead of the pack, having already finished his page.

Anybody else close?

[Steampunk]

Originally posted by BenitoCereno

well, closer than i've ever been before ;)

i've got most of two panels drawn, just have to tighten them up a bit...and then the other panels exist loosely in my sketchbook, so a little translation to the bristol board is needed

i won't jinx my progress by making any predictions as to when i'll be done ;)

[BenitoCereno]

That's good, Randy, since you have, arguably, the easiest page of them all.

Not that I doubt your ability--either to draw or to finish an assignment*--but because you asked for an easy page.







































*just kidding. I do have doubts about that one.

[Spidey]

Say... you know what this jam needs?

A cover!
I'd glady show you a Hellboy cover on tuesday for approval today.

PM if you wanna consider it or if you just wanna stick with the main pages.

[DeForgeo]

I'm just starting my page. Hopefully, I'll have it done by Monday.

[muthmaniac]

I'll do some digital inks on a page...if you still need an inker.

-John

[Ra Havok]

Benito, and everyone else that's involved:

I'll be happy to contribute to this art jam by coloring a page.... if that's okay with you guys, of course...

[Ra Havok]

So and, in the end, what's gonna become of it ? The 'art-jam' that is. It'll be printed or is it really just for making something with a lot of people. Gonna be on a website??

I'm completely new to the concept of an 'art-jam'...

[Spidey]

I think its just gonna bep posted on some website later for others to view.

[Chris Piers]

Yeah, it's all for fun.

[Exiter]

augh! between this, and the tournament final round and some paying gigs.... IT'S JUST LIKE BEING BACK AT THE KUBERT SCHOOL!!

gimme a few... or several ... days


vaught

[Chris Piers]

I want to see this complete, I know you guys can do it. There's so much talent here, but c'mon, it's just a single page.

I say no one poops until you finish the page, isn't that fair?

[DeForgeo]

My page is finished, I just can't post it yet.

Gimme a day or two. . .

[Chris Piers]

And I know there's two more that will be finished by tonight or thereabouts.

[BenitoCereno]

Don't post it. IM it or e-mail it to me.

[shinolahead]

I'm done. I'll send it tomorrow evening.

[BenitoCereno]

a) Matt is a better human being than any of the rest of you except Chris and possibly DeForge.

b) Matt is on a Karate Kid kick.*























*specifically, the Crane

[jacon]

so do i get to do anything in this or what? i said i would ink anybody's shiz... and/or if this gets as far as the coloring stage... i'll try that too.

[BenitoCereno]

Ah, I thought Matty told you. I have you lined up to ink someone's page. The problem is waiting for that person to submit their page.

[Exiter]

my page will no doubt be done this weekend

I was wanting Loston to ink but his scheduling may not allow
If anyone else would like to go for it throw your hat into the ring

[Steampunk]

well, i'm four fifths of the way done my page...that is, i've got 4 complete panels and need to finish off the last one

i'm *hoping* to get it done tonight...or else i won't really have time to work on it again until like next week...but no promises, this panel has been giving me A LOT of trouble...the sketch looked marvelous, but i just can't reproduce it on the bristol board :P damn...

anyhoo, after a quick break, i'll keep at it :cool:

[Spidey]

Originally posted by Steampunk

I know what you mean. Its like sometimes I get lucky with the sketches. Or maybe its cuz its less stressful when your sketching and when you actually have to produce the final piece you just dont feel as loose.

[Steampunk]

yeah, it's probably pretty common...and it's sooo ohard to redraw something that you got right the first time :P

anyhoo, i finished up last night...i'm not last! BBOOOYAH!!!

take that, zombie twins!!

[DrVictorVonDoom]

Originally posted by Steampunk

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

It's so true.


And so sad that I can't say the same thing, because I haven't done all my inking yet.

[BenitoCereno]

I just got DeForge's page, and it's penciled, inked, AND colored.

Although he didn't do it all himself, nonetheless, he may do the superior dance in your general directions.

[Chris Piers]

I would have done that if I knew that I could.

[BenitoCereno]

Sorry, Chris. I didn't know you wanted to ink or color your page. DeForge didn't actually ink or color his own, but that's just how he turned it in to me.

Don't worry, though, I have more stuff lined up for you to do.

[Chris Piers]

I hope it's as a letterer.

[Steampunk]

Originally posted by Chris Piers

actually chris, it doesn't even have anything to do with this hellboy story...if i were you, i'd back away slowly while you have the chance ;)

so we've got at least half the pages pencilled then? and inks and colours done on another? yay :D

it was kind of let out to me who was inking my page, but is that generally a secret? are all those slots filled? (or only for the pencils that have been turned in so far?)

this project is damn exciting...DAMN exciting indeed :)

[Joel Harris]

Just shoot me the file to color via e-mail at joel@xenografix.com when you've got one.

[jacon]

i still need the top half of randy's page :(

[BenitoCereno]

Originally posted by jacob_phatty

Which you will have as soon as they turn the internet back on at my place.

[Steampunk]

hey jacob (and other inkers), are you planning on printing out a blue line, lightboxing, or what?

just curious...i suppose you *could* start lightboxing the half you have if that's the route you're going :( otherwise, wait until benito can help you out (or, if you catch me online, get me to send it...it'll take quite a while, but better than nothing, right? ;) )

[BenitoCereno]

A couple of guys are inking themselves. Those who expressly said they weren't have been attached to inkers. I still need to hear from some artists on whether or not they need inkers.

And Chris, yes. Yes, it is.

[Spidey]

I just finished inking mine last night. I might ask Joel if he wants to color it. I'll get you the inks as soon as I scan and host my page Benito.

[BenitoCereno]

Speaking of hosting--

I was planning on putting all the pages on my art-community page, but I think we all know that's not going to happen. I don't have another site at the moment. Does anyone want to host them somewhere?

If not, I can probably find someone--


ONCE THESE BASTARDS TURN MY CONNECTION BACK ON

Thursday:

"Oh, sure, Mr Benito. Your connection should be back on first thing in the morning.

Monday:

"No, the guy never told me anything about it. Your connection should be back on first thing in the morning."


Also, Matt's pencils are done. Try to catch up, Slowy McPokertons.

[MC Fumunda]

i could probably host if you need me to. just get back to me when everyone is done.

yeah, same deal...i'm sharing a website with a buddy, but i'm sure he wouldn't mind 8 pages of comic stuff ;) (that would be the case if i put the finished result up...if there's a *need* to have all of the in progress bits and pieces, i still *might* be able to do it, but no promises)

[Spidey]

I couldnt find any hostsites so I just e-mailed mine.

[BenitoCereno]

Originally posted by Spidey

Yep. And I got it. Yet another person who is better than the other persons who have not yet finished.

[BenitoCereno]

For the record, here's what's done.

Spidey's page is penciled and inked and in the hands of the colorist.

DeForge's page is penciled, inked, colored, and lettered. Finished, in other words. It looks great. I hope all the pages look this good.

Chris's page is penciled and in the hands of the inker.

Last I knew, Inkdrop's page was in the layout stages. Any updates? Also, do you need an inker, or are you inking yourself?

Penciljack's page is going to be an excused tardy. I believe he's inking himself, but I can line someone up if not.

Steampunk's page is penciled, and the inker has half, and now that I'm back online, I can send the other half as soon as the inker or the inker's wacky friend contacts me.

red7ine's page is. . . I have no idea.

Shinolahead's page is penciled, and I think he is inking it himself.

Exiter's page has been laid out, but I think Kevin's been scratching himself since that point. I believe he's working on providing his own inker.

For people I haven't heard from, I need to hear from you so I know how many more inkers I need to line up, and how many colorists I need.

[jacon]

i have steampunk's top half... no problems here!

sorry to keep you in the dark buddy. I have one panel left to draw, the big one at the bottom. I would say I am 80% there. Sorry for the delay, but I've been working on my tourney entry also. You WILL have it by this weekend, this ... I SWEAR!

Hmm. Let's see if I can do this off the top of my head.

DeForge's page: done done and done.

Spidey's page is penciled and inked and now colored.

Chris's page is penciled and still in the hands of the inker.

Inkdrop's page is penciled, inked, and colored, and as soon as I get a high res version, it's going on to be lettered.

Penciljack's page is going to be an excused tardy.

Steampunk's page is penciled, and in the hands of the inker.

red7ine's page is being penciled.

Shinolahead's page is penciled, and I think he is inking it himself.

Exiter's page is lost?

[anim82000]

Uh... hey.

Can I be the next dude to color something?

If not, that's O.K. I mean, it's not like I don't have anything better to do.

(Really, I don't.)

[BenitoCereno]

Yes.

I'm waiting on two inked pages. As soon as I get them, I'm sending them both to you.

:confused:

[BenitoCereno]

Sorry. I'll try to be more internally consistent.


The first one goes to you. The next one goes to anim8.

Bwah wah.


P.S. Inkdrop's page is now completely finished.

This project is one fourth done! Or something like that.

[BenitoCereno]

red7ine's page now pencilled and ready for inks.








P.S. Anyone want to ink a page that won't take a month to do it?

::cough::other inkers::cough::

[Chris Piers]

Yeah, someone's had about twenty days to ink my page which should probably only take between 2 and 4 hours tops.

[Spidey]

I inked mine in 2-4 hours. :)

[Steampunk]

chris, i'm not sure how you can say a page *shouldn't* take more than 2-4 hours...obviously i haven't seen the page, but not everybody is super speedy...

unless the page is 7/8ths white space, then it would probably take me a couple hours just to lightbox a page onto my bristol, let alone ink it after that...

as for the other pages needing to be inked...argh, i'd like to take a crack at it, but i hate doing the whole lightbox thing...i wouldn't mind experimenting with printing blue lines onto a sheet of bristol board, but i'm not sure how well that would work either...

is there any chance i can see the page needing inks before i agree? to be clear, i'm heading into midterms, so i doubt i'll be able to whip it up in a day or two, let alone a few hours...actual drawing/painting projects and trying to catch up on the first month of school that i didn't have textbooks will certainly get in my way, but i'll be as speedy as can be...if i think i could do anything with the page anyways ;)

[Chris Piers]

You've got a point, Randy, if there are more steps involved. I was thinking of inking off the actual board which of course the inker doesn't have access to. I had made a point of keeping the linework as clean as possible for my inker. I still don't think it should take three full weeks though.

[BenitoCereno]

Chris' page is now inked and being sent to the colorist.

Matt's page is "almost done being inked."

[Steampunk]

it seems i'll be inking vaught's page, if all goes well at kinko's

also, the thought crossed my mind that *painting* a page (because, i'm photoshop stupid) would be interesting...if i'm uncharacteristically fast (which this whole blueline dealie might help) with my inks, and there's still pages to be coloured, i might volunteer for some watercoloury goodness :) (or at least an attempt...perhaps a backup would be smart hehe)

[Ra Havok]

Half way done with the coloring.

I sure hope Chris and DrVvD will like it...

[BenitoCereno]

Update:

Matt's page is now completely done.

Penciled, inked, colored and lettered.

For the record, Matt did all but the lettering himself.

I hope that makes those of you who haven't finished one aspect of your page yet feel like slackasses*. That is all.




























*except Terry

[Ra Havok]

DONE!! Ahead of schedule! :)

[Chris Piers]

4 pages out of 8 are 100% complete.

something must have happened with benito's original response, that's what he meant to say ;)

[jacon]

no problem guys... i have one more panel to go... if i don't screw up.

[MC Fumunda]

i was over at his place today, and i can say he's doin' a gorgous job.

[jacon]

and oh yeah, jacob's doing well on the inking as well ;)

[jacon]

:confused:

[Spidey]

Just finalized the cover. Its pretty. ;onei;

[Steampunk]

well, yesterday after i finished my psych midterm (yes, that's right, rather than go home and relax after such a stressful {har} situation, i got straight to work on this little jam, aren't you proud? ;) )

so yeah, i spent about an hour waiting for the guy to print this stupid file...it's not like they were busy, i walked straight in and he started on my printing, but for whatever reason, it took him forever...first off, it was showing up too light on the screen, and he adjusted it so that it would show up better, but he made it so dark that some of the areas were almost black (partly my fault, i really didn't do the conversion to blue lines properly AT ALL :'( )

also, he apparently couldn't print onto my bristol board, so we used paper from the store, which, feeling right now, is EXACTLY the same thickness...argh! the only difference is how smooth this paper is, but i guess it's taking the ink well...however, brushes simply DO NOT work on the blue ink...damnit!!!

whatever, i finished about a quarter of the page last night, and will get my ass in gear again tonight, hopefully finish off another panel :)

sooooo, is it possible for me to colour a page, or are those all taken? terry's will be a while, so by the time it gets to the colouring stage, my plate should be cleared...how 'bout it? huh? HUH?

[MC Fumunda]

no.

[anim82000]

You 'bout done there, _phatty?...

I'm just curious. :)

Yeah, that page is done and ready for you. If you don't have it already, PM me your e-mail address and I'll send it to you.

[penciljack]

I'm back in town, obviously, but I'm trying to get on top of other priorities at the moment. When I get some of these things whittled down, I'll get my page a'workin. I'll probably ink it myself.

[BenitoCereno]

Cool deal. In the meantime, I'm closing this thread. It's a monster.
