Gauging interest in a Sequential-only league

[NickRocks]

So this was birthed in the DA chatroom about a Sequential League, sort of a spin-off to PUMMEL. what would the interest be?

im thinking that we would start off with a script, so instead of the "pick your topic for the month" both artists would be drawing from a script of one page. theyd put it up for vote, and whatever page wins is used, and collected at the end of the voting period, and put together to be a complete(ish) looking comic.

Im thinking that it could be a good way to get something like the PJU done, if the scripts were handed out, and itd be quicker and more effective than FUSION JAM.

count me in, u know it

Well, you know my thoughts... You'd get more done if it were run as a jam... Because its a waste of time to have 2 artists working on the same page in a draw off, when one could just be working on another page so that more pages get done.

I can see how the competition would motivate some to contribute though.

I am all in support of the spirit of this idea. However, I would like a concrete plan on how it would work. There's way too many holes in which this could fall through.

[NickRocks]

well, ask quesions, and ill answer them!

I'd love a sequential only league... definitely need to practice that over pinups. it'd be great portfolio building material.

my only concern is scripts. will the top ranked person need to come up with a script/scenario?

I don't think scripts would be a problem. There are lots of writers that would like to work with the artists on the boards.

There could be an ongoing sequential story created.

The PJU would be a good place to start ... but Dave is right ... having the SAME page duplicated would be a waste of time. How about alternating episodes between artists?? Not that I could add much to this though.

I like the idea. Though I think it would drain some of the participation from Pummel.

I also think that certain artists would have an advantage over other artists. In my case, I'd have to do this entirely digitally, since I simply don't have the space in my apartment for an art table and all the measuring equipment. Whereas someone who does things in a traditional method would have an upperhand.

However like I said, I like the idea.

[NickRocks]

well im thinking less of having it be an ongoing thing like pummel and more of just taking say, a full on 20 or so page script, allow people to sign up, throw their names in a hat and draw them for matchups, then give each pair a page and have them draw it.

I don't have the measuring equipments either and i've done lots of sequentials. Don't tihnk they are necessary.

[Ugga Bugga]

Yes, it might draw from pummel, but pummell is a pin-up showcase for the most part. There is a natural graduation from pin-up to sequentials, that this forum should foster.

So will there be weight divisions? Perhaps the higher weight class gets the more challenging script?

[NickRocks]

i want to avoid the weight class stuff, i dont want to copy pummel in that regard.
