Round Robin Comic! All Welcome!
All right!
After someone by the name of Somfunambulist started one of these on the MSPA forums, I thought I'd make one for the GitP crowd. I encourage everyone to participate, regardless of artistic style and/or ability. Heck, I can barely draw myself!
Before we can get started, I need y'all to read the following:
RULES
( paraphrased from Somfunambulist's )Spoiler
- Call dibs on the next panel(s) by commenting. You have 6 hours to draw and post your update. If you don't make your deadline, your slot goes to the next taker in line.
- Respect other people's storyline decisions. Don't go hogging or derailing the plot, all right? This is a collaborative effort!
- Don't subvert the storyline for the lulz. As Somfunambulist put it, don't throw a fire-breathing cow or terminal illness into the comic at an inappropriate time just to be silly/melodramatic. You CAN be funny or dramatic so long as it's reasonable. If your panel(s) are ridiculous, the comic will continue as though they never happened.
- You may inform everybody of 1 fact regarding your submission whenever you post (a) panel(s). This is often un-illustrated background information important for other contributors to know.
- 1. When you're about to introduce a new character, consider if any of the existing characters can already suit your purpose. Round robins tend to produce Loads and Loads of Half-Formed Characters, which can kill a comic pretty quick.
- Your update may contain anywhere from 1-5 panels. Any more and you're hogging the stage. Any less, and... well, you're probably lurking.
- Keep it PG-13! Nothing explicit/grotesque by way of sex or violence.
- All updates must remain accurate to any previously established facts, with 100% accuracy. Any update which violates this rule will be retconned out of existence.
- You can't pre-reserve your slot.
- As your mod, I reserve the right to retcon updates which violate any of the abovementioned rules.
THE STORY SO FAR
( here for your lurking convenience! )Spoiler
There now. Without further ado, I present your opening panel:

Have fun!Last edited by Giovedi; 2011-06-18 at 01:19 PM.

Oh snap! I asked for the original topic to be moved. Is there a duplicate floating around?

Re: Round Robin Comic! All Welcome!
This is very similar to Avatar Battle Royale... except it's one panel at the time instead, and more ordered in the succession of comics.
I assume that's only a coincidence?

Re: Round Robin Comic! All Welcome!
A mere coincidence. I already said I'd lifted the idea from the MSPA forums. ;D

Re: Round Robin Comic! All Welcome!
I... don't quite get what person A is saying in p1. >_>
(Generally interested in participating, especially since this doesn't have the baggage of ABR.)

Re: Round Robin Comic! All Welcome!
I think it's starting in the middle of a story, and previous events will be explained as the comic progresses.
Edit: After I post a panel, how many must I wait before I can post a new one?Last edited by fizzybobnewt; 2011-04-03 at 12:02 PM.

Re: Round Robin Comic! All Welcome!
Actually its nothing like ABR hun...
In this comic you post a single panel and you run with the characters that it already has...
Whereas in ABR we post a comic then await another comic with other peoples characters in to reply.
In ABR we say NO to godmodding another persons characters. but in this as its a general comic that your not putting your own characters into or anything, your using the characters that are in it already, you can do anything you want!
Also I may take part in this, put me up for doing a panel! ^^ but not yet. I need to get those two drawn first :P
Basically (from what i gather)
Person A has taken a "missing scroll" from person B who obviously had it all along.
Person B now has to explain to Person A why he had said scroll that Person A had obviously lost.Last edited by Fay Graydon; 2011-04-03 at 12:30 PM.

Re: Round Robin Comic! All Welcome!
I'm going to register my interest with this, ABR is on a go slow at the moment.

Re: Round Robin Comic! All Welcome!
From what I understand of the scene, the genral pose and expression (anger with person A, nervosity on person B) let me think that person A is accusing person B of having stollen the scroll. The 'but with you' meaning that in person A opinion, person B would be the best suspect, and he just saw his suspicion confirmed.

Re: Round Robin Comic! All Welcome!
Actually the grammer is fine.
It just makes Character A seem posh.
THIS IS NOW CANNON!

Re: Round Robin Comic! All Welcome!
In no particular order...
- I like making comics but lack time/ attention span in the long term, so this seems like a fun idea
- I've looked into ABR and came out with the conclusion that things were too established/complex for me to join in any time soon and additionally that anything but OotSesque stickfigure vector based comics are frowned upon in ABR although not 100% banned. I don't enjoy working with vectors and my preferred drawing style's not especially stick figure or OotSey so I don't think I'll be joining ABR...
- Am I right in thinking that all art styles (except ones that somehow go against forum rules) are acceptable in this round robin?
-Has anybody called the first "dibs" yet and do dibs need to include the word "dibs" in them?
- Person A should be posh, IMO. That's what I automatically assumed when I read the speech bubbles
- Where did the art for the first panel come from? Did Giovedi draw it themself, is it a stock image of some description..? I ask because a mostly online project I got involved in a little while ago seemed like a bright and innovative idea but it turned out that all the artwork but mine was torn without credits from various corners of the net. I wasn't happy having my name connected to that, so I'm carefully prodding this with a metaphorical stick. (The question arose because limited drawing abilities were mentioned but the first image has confident linework at the very least which doesn't strike me particularly as the work of someone who "can barely draw" if we were going to take things really literally.)

Re: Round Robin Comic! All Welcome!
1. All styles are indeed acceptable.
2. You don't have to say 'dibs' explicitly, but you have to make the fact you're claiming the panel explicit. I guess saying 'dibs' would make it easiest to tell who's claimed what, tho.
3. Yes, I drew it myself. I'm just obnoxiously self-deprecating sometimes. :-P~ all welcome ~

Re: Round Robin Comic! All Welcome!
Dibs.
I'm too late now, but my idea for the first panel was something like:
B: Er... ninjas?
A: Strike one.

Re: Round Robin Comic! All Welcome!
As far as I can see, you could still do that for panel 3.
I tried to make it very open but wanted to put a few "ideas" out there. Made very quickly and not exactly to my highest "standards". My dad got hold of my laptop so... hum.

Re: Round Robin Comic! All Welcome!
Thanks. It's probably relatively obvious that I don't know what I'm doing with colourwork/shading either, but I'm trying to teach myself so... Posted it and saw about six brand new weird "art errors" but the ball is rolling now which is summat!
Will check back in on the thread in the morning!
(Your composition in the first panel's very strong. I struggle with placing things and blame it on dyslexia, myself... )

Re: Round Robin Comic! All Welcome!
Dibs on p3, so the previously mentioned joke can be set up for p4.

Re: Round Robin Comic! All Welcome!
I believe it's all up to us. But they do use scrolls...
Edit: Nevermind also, then.
Edit again: darn, I can't work on it for like 15 minutes. The below script will represent my panel, so you guys continue and I'll replace it with a real one soon.
B: Uh... It was the ninjas! They framed me!
A: Strike one.Last edited by fizzybobnewt; 2011-04-03 at 09:58 PM.

Can a crappy artist like me have the honor of drawing the next frame ?

Re: Round Robin Comic! All Welcome!
ABR has both complex plots, short-lived gags with so little established that it makes sense that a foxgirl in a gasmask blows it up and the only thing about art styles we object to is incomprehensibleness and extremely bad spelling.
I draw my comics with a tablet in OpenCanvas (hugs to the awesome Domochevsky for telling me about that) and people seem to like my horrible doodles.
Anyway, I don't have time right now but I will probably draw something for this at some point.
