title:ONE SHOTthe Comic Collab
-note: Not a web comic, but a PRINTED comic-
Basically this book will be about 30 pages long, and my goal is to collect 25 artist or so to fill in those pages. Each artist has their own page to do whatever they want on (one page not meaning front and back, just one side of a page). In the back pages of the comic I'll add an index with the Authors name, age, sex, location, and maybe a comment from the author about his drawing or anything at all.
Many aspects of this project resemble the NG sketchbook tour, but this will be printed on actual traditional comic book. Another difference is the fact that a comic or a strip or any resemblance of a panel-to-panel short story telling is extremely encouraged, not mandatory, but really really encouraged.
Keep in mind that a full short story from begining to end isn't manditory, it can be an extract of a hypothetical comic book, action sequence, simple dialouge sequence even a bunch of sequencial panels setting an enviornment with even the smallest narrative element.
Anyone can apply but not everyone will be selected. Anyone interested should send me an email to
DISTRIBUTION DETAILS
I will be in charge of paying for the prints. The artists will receive their own free copy. Each comic will cost $5.00 each. There will be 2 ways of comic distribution:
1. There will be a store available on my site (which is currently under construction and will be done late november) where comics wll be purchasable through paypal. I figured this would work better for people interested outside of the United States.
2. Comics will be available in random stores in the San Francisco Bay area, and Albuquerque, New Mexico
3. I'll be at Comic Con 2008, hopefully i'll be not only selling those, but also other comics there.
COMIC DETAILS
-Standard Comic (6.625x10.25 inches)
-Color pages
-28 pages
WHAT I'LL NEED FROM YOU
-real name (first and last)
and/or
-nick name (a.k.a. on newgrounds)
-age
-sex
-location
-comments
-example illustrated artwork (preferably not animated)
I would prefer if you turn in your art work already in it's 6.625"x10.25" proportions, if you're having too much trouble we can talk about it and I'll just resize it myself. All finished work should be emailed to oddhvh@hotmail.com. make the subject of your email:
"(name)-DONE"
There is no defnite due date yet since the project is at a very early stage. Also, I want to give the artists time to really create the best artwork they can possibly make. The final date will most likely land somwhere between April and May but the artwork would just make things easier for me (the sooner the better).

HEADS UP:
My web site (HaVaHa) is currently being remade and the ODD Comics section is becomming somthing very special. Atomic Noodle and I are talking about designing a Comic portal where people can submit short comic strips and be voted on, very similar to the NG flash portal, it is currently dubbed "Brick Wall".
The 6 weekly winners will be on the "TOP PAGE" and the seasonal winners will have the chance to develope their comic into a full issue. So be aware when you submit a strip or page pitching your idea, just in case you win, that idea needs to be somthing than can be applied to a full issue.
This will help push the creativity of the artists. Submiters must have a clear idea in their head to later on expand onto an issue if winning. I feel that this is becomming somthing very exciting, already loads of talent is applying to the ONE SHOT cloab project. I wonder what somthing like the Brick Wall (BW) will recieve.

Actually, I'd say you're starting to become pretty well known about these parts, man. While your Halo short annoyed me, as did aspects of your Animation Invasion, I a have honestly been impressed by some of your work, including Valentine '29, which was a pretty unique and quality collab for the most part. You've also proven yourself quite the capable animator.
But the humility is very appreciated, and earns you respect.
The project sounds very interesting and, while I don't have the time (or any ideas) for a part, I look forward to following it and seeing where it goes.

well thanks for the support. What exactly annoyed you about the Halo short? and what exactly do you mean "the humility is very appreciated"? just curiouse. But it's too bad you don't have time, your stuff is really interesting to me. Maybe next time i guess. :/
