P.O.W.! Challenge 3
Deadline: February 19, 2008, 11:59 pm anywhere in the world.

Topic: True Love.

Let's see what you can do with a cliche as a topic...heeheehee... Interpret any way you wish. Any media. B&W or Color.
Due to generally revolting by the competitors and numerous death threats, you can NOW present your solution as a minimum of TWO to a maximum of SIX pages which adhere to standard comic specs as below...

Standard Comic Book Size:

--Trim size: 6 5/8" x 10 1/4"
--Live art area: 6" x 9"
--Bleed size before trimming: 6 7/8" x 10 1/2" (1/8" in all directions)

This thread will be the place you ask questions on this challenge, trash talk, post WIPs and your final art. See the READ THIS FIRST thread for all specs.

Good luck.

P.O.W.! Challenge 4 will be posted before Tuesday Midnight, February 12, 2008.

True Love & The Side Effects Of Eating Tainted Meat

.

[Ilaekae]

Just remember that WIP does NOT mean "wanking in public..."

...and my idea just hit me as I was posting that... You're all dead... :P

[Ryuartyi]

Alright, new P.O.W.!! I think I already have an idea for this topic. Be ready for my wip soon enough.

[Grief]

more like "topic: use this comic as a valentine's gift you cheap art nerd"

well crap, if i'm getting called 'emo' for dirty-talk comics, who knows what new word they'll have to invent for me when i deal with love.

[insert comic here]

[JonZ_]

The new rules RULES :) It have more flexibility. This will allow to those late people to round their pages if in past midway they realize they wont have enough time, and will give enough space to those people who cannot compress a bible into a stamp http://www.p1x44r.com/smiles/bigthumb.gif

I might give this one a try. After having fleched my muscle on the first POW, I desperately need to explore something different. I haven't done a comic for a decade and I was mentally prepared for POW once it was announced. It kinda revived the fire inside me, and was a bit sad when I finished my first POW. I don't plan to go nuts on this one because I'm very busy at work.

If I win the first POW, don't consider my entry for this one.

[Ilaekae]

Bullshit. You post a comic, it's in.

I don't like martyrs...I do like people who beat the shit out of themselves to get better :P

[Sundance]

WIP does NOT mean "wanking in public..."

But it does mean true (self) love.:drinkup:

[Ilaekae]

That theory breaks down every time I look in the mirror... :P

[skorpi]

New Topic, I'll try this one. I just need an idea.

[Hideyoshi]

hope this won't get too cheesy :P
new page count is awesome!

[arttorney]

I'm lactose intolerant.

Sundance! I thought we'd lost you.:wtf: for old times sake.

[JonZ_]

Hideyoshi is in. He will create a godlike 6 pages comic in one day.:yayca:

[Hideyoshi]

haha, who said that? :P
I didn't even say I was in... ;)

but we shall see what we shall see...

looking forward to yours, Jon!

[Arish]

Ilaekae - I dare you to pick "wanking in public" as the next topic. I daaaaaaaaare you.

Anyway, thanks for the new rules about the page counts! I love them... truly.

[JonZ_]

haha, who said that? :P
I didn't even say I was in... ;)

but we shall see what we shall see...

looking forward to yours, Jon!

Well, actually, I was looking forward to you! I saw the other challenges you participated in and... you pwn man. I just bow to your supernatural photographic memory you have to be able to do these envos without references in just few hours. When I do a simple sport car I can spend month on it and still working the details :\... I'd wish to have a mentor of your caliber.

[Verastegui]

I'm in. I should be able to post some breakdowns soon.

[LORD M]

I don't know why, but some sick necrophilia story popped up in my mind when I read this topic. :wtf:

[Ilaekae]

Good. Then I'll have something to read over breakfast...

[skorpi]

Rough drawing from my first page :)

[funfetus]

Looks nice, Skorpi. Good drawing and page flow. One suggestion -- in the last panel, the fortune teller is facing the opposite direction than she was on the rest of the page. It makes it look like she's physically turned to the other side. I'd flip her.

[Whitevillage]

Damn, I really want to join this POW since I got a cool idea for it, but I don't have the time or programs to create it with at the moment. I will make the comic neverless what I had in mind sometime.

Looking forward to others vision of True Love in comic form and to POW 4. I really like this Community Activity forum and it's results. :)

[skorpi]

@funfetus: Thank you, you're right wth the last panel. I'll fix that.

@Whitevillage: Why a program? Draw traditional ;)

[Whitevillage]

@funfetus: Thank you, you're right wth the last panel. I'll fix that.

@Whitevillage: Why a program? Draw traditional ;)

It's because I need to scan the image, the programs are missing, to hook and install my scanner as well since I messed up some things with my working computer which is'nt 100% steady (but it's now free from viruses and spyware). Unless people like photographed comic pages....... And I have no time thanks to my internship at the moment with the deadline this close. :)

Good luck with the POW Skorpi, thanks for your concern.

[JonZ_]

I'm still running. I however don't know if I'm going to make it on time. I spanned on 6 pages but I can suppress the 2 firsts If I see I am not going to make it. So much going on my life right now, not terrible but it can be a curse.

[llothcat]

I'll be in...annnnnd i'll actually make the deadline this time:D

[Verastegui]

Here are the breakdowns for the first three pages.

It's pretty much going to be a five-six pager.

[skorpi]

@Whitevillage: Ok, I see, thats a problem.

@Verastegui: Looks good, nice posing :)
Pherharps you could make the pannels more interesting, if you use different focuses.

Edit:

Pages 2 and 3

[Hannes]

I'll give this one a go too. I'm getting my engine started soon and then I can do some real impros. I'm must warn though, there might be bunnys..

[JonZ_]

This challenge made me realize something cool about my Widescreen 24" monitor and my Wacom, so I may have a tip for those who draw directly on their Wacom. Since we work in a wide stood up box area, my 24" have the ability to rotate verticaly and my graphic card have the ability to rotate the display as well. The most amazing thing is, the Wacom area is rotated 90 degrees as well :)

The results is you are working on a much larger zoomed canvas than when you draw on the standard 4:3/16:9 format, unless you clutter the surface with tools :)

[FlipMcgee]

Updated (http://conceptart.org/forums/showpost.php?p=1634542&postcount=2)with thumbs.

[skorpi]

Its finished, I hope there aren't to many mistakes in the dialogue.

Pink,kitschy, and shojo manga, what else for "true love"? :)

[Hannes]

This is my final.

[Ilaekae]

"is it okay to have an opening and ending full-page panel, and 2 (maybe 3) regular paneled pages in between?"

That would be fine, iyami.

[FlipMcgee]

Updated (http://conceptart.org/forums/showpost.php?p=1634542&postcount=2) with another round of wippage. But I'll be posting the finished pages late again tomorrow night Ilaekae.

[llothcat]

mine will be a little late too....lots o OT at work on top of a graveyard shift.

[Ilaekae]

That's okay. I'm in a hassle over my Erotic Comic Forum right now...the damn servers are totally fucked up and many of our members can't get in. It's been driving me nuts for three days.

[FlipMcgee]

My 6 pages of teen lust now up (http://conceptart.org/forums/showpost.php?p=1634542&postcount=2).

[llothcat]

as much as i could do this time:P

inconsistant as heck and it was meant to be 3 pages with a lot more text.

[funfetus]

Llothcat -- nice work. The perspective in page 1, panel 4 seems off, though. It looks like the tiles are receding as they come TOWARD us. It makes it look like she's actually coming out of the floor.

[JonZ_]

I had to give up. To much things going on in my life, got promoted and searching for a new house to live. I got only a page completed but will not show. It have potential to be re-used in future POW.
