24-Hour Comics Day

Anime Punk Joey's picture
News Anime Punk Joey - Saturday, September 16, 2006 - 02:13

It's already mid-September which means that this year's 24-Hour Comics Day is right around the corner!

http://24hourcomics.com/

For those of you that don't know, it's a day that happens once a year when artists from around the world take on the challenge of creating a 24-page comic (drawing, scripting, inking, toning, the whole enchalada) in just 24 hours. Sound easy? Sound hard? Who's willing to take the challenge this October 7th?

Note that the best submissions to the official site get published in a neat collection for all eyes to see. :)

Yes, it wouldn't make much

Anime Punk Joey; Saturday, September 16, 2006 - 02:54

Yes, it wouldn't make much sense to make it on a weekday; no one would participate.

So I guess this means we can expect Killi to try her hand at it? :)

NO! I want to participate

Reiko Kitsune; Sunday, September 17, 2006 - 02:17

NO! I want to participate so bad, I even found a participating store close enough so my dad will drive me.

BUT ITS ON THANKSGIVING!!! We always go to my grandparents on Thanksgiving.

I wanna draw. . .

*cries in corner*

P.S. I know you can draw at home and still submit it, but its just not the same as staying up 24 hours in a random store and drawing.

Well...

I won't be doing that. I can't draw. I tried to write a story in 24 hours, but it was so bad I threw it away. v_v

Yep!

killijoy; Monday, September 18, 2006 - 23:48

Killi will be attempting to write and draw a comic in 24 hours. I'll probably only bang out like, ten pages, but I can work towards the goal of 24!! Maybe I'll even put it up so you can laugh at my horrendous work.

It's not on Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is always the third Thursday of November. This is the 7th of October.

What's it about anyway? All I know is that my friend who lives in the U.S sends me e-cards with random turkeys on it...

Yeah, we have pretty much

Reiko Kitsune; Tuesday, September 19, 2006 - 20:58

Yeah, we have pretty much every holiday you guys have, except we don't have fourth of July, we have our independent day on the 2 of July.

I also think you guys have a founding fathers day or something to that extent, we have Queen Victoria day.

I think thats about the jist of the differences, if anyone knows any others I'd be happy to know about them.

Anime Punk Joey; Sunday, October 21, 2007 - 06:22

I did 24 Hour Comics Day on the 19th. I'm still tired.

I only got to page 6 (not only do I draw slowly, but I was drawing with about 50 other people in the sequential arts building at school... it turned into a party).

I didn't sign up fast enough, hopefully next year there will be more places near me doing it.

There was one store even close enough for me to consider and it was still all the way across town.
