[size=6]Entry Format:[/size] [size=6]One page of a webcomic of your design.[/size] To qualify, it must be at least 3 panels long. Avoid going for an epic - I prefer quality over quantity. I recommend a setup -> punchline format. It can be one page from a longer story, but the action must make sense. NO PRE-EXISTING WEB COMICS. For example, Gobi would not be able to post MoreLikeBlue. [size=6]Due Date:[/size] All entries must be in by May 31st 2008, Midnight EST. [size=6]Advice:[/size] Pay attention to your frames - the way you arrange them will tell the reader how to read your page. You need not use square, conventional frames either. Do away with frames all together if it suits you! Sketch the whole page before you draw - how the frames fit together as a whole is just as important as the action that takes place on each individual frame. Use tone, color, and saturation as ways of leading your viewer's eye to the action. [size=6]Examples:[/size] VGCats Perry Bible Fellowship Lackadaisy MoreLikeBlue xkcd Stargazed Base17 (Suggest more in the thread to put here!) [size=6]Materials:[/size] Comic Layout Tutorial (.rar) [size=6]Fabulous Prizes!![/size] The winner will recieve an awesome banner signature by Humbleego. With each competition you win, you move up successively in level. Rank 1 - The Pencil Rank 2 - The Pen Rank 3 - The Brush Rank 4 - The Non-Photo Blue Pencil and the grandaddy of them all... Rank 5 - The Wacom Stylus [size=6]Make Us Proud! :bing:[/size]

To clarify: "Punchline" in comic slang doesn't necessarily mean the payoff in a joke - just payoff in general. It can be a very sad punchline.

PELICAAAAAN Posts: 2,869 Group: Global Mod Member #1,110 Joined: April 14, 2005	It's cool. The forum runs through cycles, and recently the WDA has been filling the role of illustration competitions. Maybe it's time to retire the IC's (At least for a while). Or maybe this is a sign to step up on the animation competions. Perhaps make it a bi-yearly thing? I'll be unposting this illustration comp for now, no winner declared. Feel free to keep posting (like Christ muffin did) if you just want to do the activities for the hell of it. Heck, check out the archives and do one of them. Some of the early illustration competitions were really cookin'. Over and out.

I'll post a late entry later.. but they're probably not gonna be as good as the one Mr. Comlock did. Oh and those doctor related webcomics are hilarious by the way.
