Speed dating has been added to the list of possible ideas!
which of course could lead to the situation of meeting the folks!
Gah, I'm not suppose to suggest situations! that's your guy's job! -

Wonder if I could get paid not to draw those...an anti-commission piece...oh wait, that's blackmail! darn! Nevermind.

First Sailor Scouts, now Yaoi, don't think I won't do it! If you want your male toons in sailor scout outfits making out with each other, just let me know, I'll start that thread!

No one is out or in at the moment, good thing about laundrymats, I can put lots of people in there, coming and going. -
Okay I think heroes at a laundromat is gonna be the first one! I'm also leaning toward heroes a a county fair, but that is still up in the air.
Now who will be at the laundromat....and what will they be washing...
Now I'll need some lines, for people in the background and for people who will be featured. since you don't know who will be there that should make it even more interesting!
Remember it's only one page, so no novels! -
Congrats, Celtic Bolt!!! Nice Piece of Art there!

that's a great one, can you imagine a group of heroes and villains playing that game where you shoot the waterguns to inflate a balloon! -
Please, no character specific situations
Capn Jack, yours would be: Bugging someone while they are working on something to save the world" -
So we have:
Trying to sell an apartment
Playing Chess in the Park
Picking nose in public
Keep them coming! -
You guys are getting the gist, so for Yellow Wolf, his situation would be "Trying to sell an apartment", for Black Magistrar, it would be "Chess game in the park."
So don't put your character in a situation, rather give me a situation: getting caught goofing off at work, shopping for groceries, I'm going to be choosing a situation and then putting characters in that situation. -
Page a Week November!
This is pretty ambitious of me, so I might fall on my face, but nothing ventured, nothing gained.
I'm going to do a comic book page(penciled most likely on the comptuer) a week! Each page will be a self-contained story of sorts! But instead of featuring just one character per page, I'd like to do two, three, maybe four, five is pushing it and six is most likely way out, but never say never.
With that I need from you teams, of two, three, four, you get the idea. I NEED good screenshots, front, back, side, and closeup of face, and short bio and powers. If that info is easily found in your sig, cool, if not please post them.
Now for the wacky part, I'll need situations, now I don't mind battles and such, but I would prefer normal situations or even wacky ones. Something like shopping for shoes, or making a sandwich or home improvement. Battling Lord Recluse over city is cool too, I likes to draw me battle scenes, but give me something odd or crazy. Keep the situation general, nothing like my toon racing all the fast toons on Virtue!
I will also need lines of dialogue. Battle cries, smart alecky remarks, those all work, once again, I want you to go crazy, so something like: "Monkeys are stealing my underwear!" would work! No obscenities or lewd remarks(unless they are so clever you can argue that they are not lewd and the moderators won't come after me with a wet herring!)
Fun part, I take your characters, choose at random a situation and then put in the dialogue, of course I'll add my own dialogue as well, having everyone shout "We are the knights of who say neee" over and over is funny, but only once.. or maybe twice.
So post your teams, your situations, and your dialogue! I'll randomly pick teams or put together individuals who post, but keep on posting situations and dialogue. If this works, and I hope it does, I can try to keep it going past November!
If you guys have any suggestions to improve this idea, which I thought up over dinner last night, by all means let me know! -

here's the blog post with the settings that he uses and some good advice about how to achieve nice smooth lines, I've been trying to draw more with my arm and I'm noticing sweeter lines!
It will take lots of practice! And you don't even need custom brushes!

Yeah I long for the day I can afford a gigantic wacom with a gigantic monitor and a gigantic table to put it all on....
-
The new intuos3 also have spiffy buttons and scroll thingy on the two sides and there are no longer macros on the top! You can set side buttons for hot keys like space bar and ctrl and such. nice idea but I find myself using the keyboard and the scroll pad is a nice idea too but I turned it off after my hand kept on scrolling by accident.
I do notice the sensitivity difference, at work I use a 9x12 which I love, but my intuos 2 works pretty dern good as well. I got to play with a cintiq at Comic Con which is uber sweet but waaaaaaaaay too expensive... -

Get the biggest one you can barely afford! Just as you would want a pallete as big as your canvas, when feasible, you really want a tablet as big as your monitor. I work on a 6x8 intuos 2, I wouldn't want to work on anything smaller. I'm dreaming of the 12x19 but I'll probably have to settle for a 9x12 in the future.
A bigger tablet means you can draw with your arm vs just wrist flicks and when you watch Gabe's video you can see the advantage of that Inking with Photoshop
As for price if you're a student you get a discount if you're not find one or a teacher and convince them to let you use their discount!
A big tablet is soooo worth it. Also check out Wacom's refurbed link: refurbs
