OT: Wordless Comic contest

[Petersen]

This is a little strange, so bear with me...

An artist friend of mine was visiting from CA this week. Saturday while I was working he sat at my desk and made a silly 4 panel comic strip in photoshop.

He is thinking about doing a comic for a con (more of a sketch book really) where there are no words and each strip is only 4-8 panels. The book would come with word baloon stickers....a do-it-yourself comic strip..

we think it's a very funny idea, and to get the ball rolling, he asked that I post this here...and I am making it a contest! come up with your best/funniest dialouge to this here strip, and I will send you a piece of original Hellboy artwork.
entries will be judged by my friend, who doesn't know any of you and canot play 'favorites'

here it is:

[Otto66]

Nifty. Have to give it a think.

[Hawk_Eyes_324]

{//:Interesting idea...I'll give it s try if I can..:\\}

[Catlin]

Cool, reminds me of the 'nuff said month at Marvel, where there were no word bubbles ot description boxes allowed.

Very clever comic, I think I already wrote my own word bubbles :)

"Oh yeah!"

**sits back and waits for the offers to roll in**

"Ha, ha....hahahahahahahahahahaha." :rolleyes:

I have a higher resolution copy if your friend just doesn't know any better and picks mine.

[Jelly Meets Jam]

Well mine certainly isn't the best, but this is just a fun thread so I'll post it

Okay Rick's is fantastic but Petriacce gets extra points for the manipulation of a word balloon to create two scenes for the knight. Bravo! Pushing the limits of graphic storytelling.

I'm sure I get no points for saying I was thinking of doing that too...but I didn't. :)

That's my pick for the best yet Rick, I'm working on my seconed really soon.

my votes on rick.

[Hellsaint]

Kaoz!... The ideas are interesting. Keep it up folks! :)

[Hells Orc]

Cute, really very cute...I remember something like this in a comic I used to read, had to fill in the comic bubbles, send it in, and if yours was picked as one of the better ones you'd win some original art I think.

[hellboyone]

Can you tell I REALLY wanna win some new art? :)

I just like making these little things.

[Jelly Meets Jam]

Ya, that stuff is crazy, I had to go on a website to learn how to do it, all these kids and their counterstrike talk is crazy, that's why I'm making fun of it I guess, hopefully ICBM doesn't come round now and go midevil on me, cuz I know he's fluent in "1337"

Good submissions everyone... although I must say I'm partial to Patrick's one.

I really had fun with this, thanks Petersen. If I had more time I would play around with the word balloons a bit to help the pacing. Otherwise, I think it turned out okay.

Cheers,

HBMOMMA's Entry:

Thanks hon! :)

[gary bolt]

I did a couple last night but couldn't post them 'cause me and computers are not one. I'm new to Photoshop and trying things out. I downloaded the wordless comic by right clicking the image and pressing Save picture as... I made my changes in Photoshop and saved them. When I tried to upload one in a post I got a message saying that the limit for this filetype is 19.5 KB and my image was a whopping big 936.8 KB. The only thing I could think to do was go back to Photoshop and use Image Size and change the dimensions. I got it as small as 43.7 KB (still too big) but by this time it was less than 1cm (1/4" in the US). Any suggestions? I'd appreciate any help I can get.

[Petersen]

make sure you are saving it as a .jpg
and do a lower quality save setting

[gary bolt]

Thanks, Petersen!

Here goes... Now, if only they were funny. :o

[zefo]

i was thinking about my bird when i made this

[Maija]

HAR!!

There are some good 'uns here.

Hellgirl's is so dark... but I laughed.

Sir Edward, you are so delightfully random. I do believe that's probably the first time ever the word "bolus" has appeared in a comic strip.

[Petersen]

one hour to go...ruta? JT? jnapper? Fitz? Athena? any more takers?

[hellgirl1886]

Sir edwards sound like something Martha Stewert would say, from her jail cell, ha ha, I am so mean. And Mine was inspired a recent review of Resident Evil,yeah September 10th. :D , jumping with glee, giggling like a school girl.

That's really good Petriacce. How do you make word bubbles?

My first go...be gentle ;)

Cheers,

[hellboyone]

Petriacce, Ta2....funny stuff!

[Petersen]

While thinkiing about Ricks entry this time, I heard Stones on the drive in and had to do this...sorry to rip your idea buddy, but I'm ineligible, so who cares?

[hellboyone]

Ha! Hilarious! I don't think I'm elligible either. But the idea popped in my head and I couldn't stop myself. It'll happen again.

R.

[petriacce]

That's really good Petriacce. How do you make word bubbles?Thanks. I pull the .jpg image into a freeware vector program. I usually type out the text first so I know how large of an oval I'll need. Then I draw the oval and attached triangle. I then create a larger one in black and set it behind the white one. I think they're easier to make in photoshop, but I haven't really go to play with that program very much.

[Petersen]

In photoshop it's very similar..
add the type..
make a new layer for the baloons (behind the text), use the oval marquis tool and make a baloon around the words. add a tail with the angled seletion tool or the freehand version..fill white.

Then add a stroke around the baloon. (photoshop 5, you have to have all the baloons done then apply it all at once to the layer, photoshop 7 it's a dynamic effect you add to a layer.)

[hellboyone]

There's also the good old-fashioned way: doing it by hand on paper and pasting it on the printed artwork.

R.

[Ken O]

here is mine!

[hellboyone]

TA2: A drama in just a few panels. It says love is simple but it still needs to be expressed. Good. ;)

HB1: I don't see why you shouldn't be eligible. Funny! I'll try the manual approach on the next one; no really I will. It'll only look digital because of the scan. uh-huh.

TW(0): The red pills and the while pills are NOT to be taken on the same day!

[Petersen]

[gary bolt]

Morna helped me figure out how to do word balloons tonight. Thanks Morna.

Here's my attempt.

[Maija]

HAHAHAHA! These are all hilarious. Great job, Gary. That dumb mammal Timmy.

And now I have the theme from Welcome Back, Kotter stuck in my head. Thanks a lot.

[gary bolt]

Thanks to petriacce, Petersen and Rick for posting replies to my question earlier about making word balloons. :) I would still like to try the old fashioned paper and scissors approach.

[petriacce]

Morna helped me figure out how to do word balloons tonight. Thanks Morna.

"...dumb mammal Timmy." HA, great line.

And now I have the theme from Welcome Back, Kotter stuck in my head.Up your nose with a rubber hose!

[gary bolt]

Here's another one. This time I tried Rick's suggestion and did the cut and paste thing with actual scissors and paper. It was fun in an arts and crafts kind of way. Thanks to Morna for doing the lettering.

[morna]

the prize: (10" x 14")
This is a piece I did for the exchange last year. Didn't like it then. It has sat in my garrage for over a year. This week I began destroying it... cutting it out, guing it down, polyurithane, torches, etc. and now...I like it.

I hope this gets more folks enter the contest!

[gary bolt]

Petriacce, your entry is great. You've really gotten good with the word bubbles.

Crossstreetartist, you've accomplished the impossible... you've taken the comic provided and not made it about fart bubbles! Well done! :)

[Petersen]

Ends tomorrow Folks...2 good entries...but come'on...!!

[petriacce]

Petriacce, your entry is great. You've really gotten good with the word bubbles.Thanks Gary. Sometimes I'll start to add the text while thinking of the balloon layout and it becomes very confusing and difficult. I usually stop and let it sit for a while. This one literally just fell together. It's similar to solving cryptoquips.

Crossstreetartist, you've accomplished the impossible... you've taken the comic provided and not made it about fart bubbles! Well done! :)Hey mister. You stuck the flatulence theme in my brain before I even started. It's beans for you sir. :p

[Petersen]

I must say I am disapointed in the lack of entries.

with that said, it only made the judging harder...Mike Davis, the artist of these comics, called me last night and the winner is.

Sorry, Petersen. I would put the lack of participation up to the time of year. I know I barely have time to read the board right now never mind come up with novel turtle fart gags.:)

[Ken O]

Actually I wasn't going to go with flatulance. Middle Age UnMutated Swimming Turtles all named after Dada artists. Duchamp, Dali, and Ernst.

you could still put it up for fun T.

Mike also wanted me to make special mention for CrossStreetArtist's contribution. As a runner-up prize, he'll send the original drawing for this contest to CrossStreet Artist

I didn't even thing about how busy folks are this time of year. I think we'll take a break from the wordless contests untill 05.

[Petersen]

Patrick,
no worries. Your entry was chose because the joke was good, it read well and was beautifly presented. The turtle prints won Mike over I think

All sorts of nusty ass.

And petriacce: EEEEeeeeeeww!

But I guess I sort of set myself up for that one. :rolleyes:

I am referring to the peeing in a cup and not the turtle prints all over everything although the latter is kinda gross too. Turtles carry salmonella you know.

[Tad]

I don't know any salmon named ella but if she stayed in the water where she belongs, the turtles wouldn't have to carry her.

Thanks for the thought, T-Wyrm, but I'm actually mostly snot free now. Huzzah! Oh the unspeakable joy of unblocked nostrils!!

[Petersen]

thought I'd riff off the T-Wyrm/Ruta conversation....

"Cream of Pigeon"? EEEEeeuuuuwww!

I watch what those dirty birds do on my neighbor's roof all day. :p

[Petersen]

Tomorrow is the cut off and I will be offended if more people don't enter!!!

Tad? Ruta? Morna? KidC? Patrick? Rick? JohnT? Anyone & Everyone?

[Maija]

Hey man, I've been sick!

Yes, sir. Sorry, sir. I'll try to have something done by tomorrow, sir.

[Adamantium_Chromus]

AwEsOmE Guys!!!

[Tad]

Have I ever entered these? I find it too daunting. Somehow having the pictures done shuts down the creative side of my brain.

Ok, ok, petersen! Yeesh! Take it easy. Stop throwin' your weight around, already.

(Maybe you could extend the deadline)

Tad? Ruta? Morna? KidC? Patrick? Rick? JohnT? Anyone & Everyone?I suppose you do hold the power of Mouse Guard. Hey, my wife is even submiting an entry; although, she isn't registering with the forum.

[gary bolt]

Looks like your surly attitude paid off, I just made another humourless comic.

I guess I'm just a chickenshit, you intimidating guy, you.

[Tad]

Petriacce! Love the ceiling fan one and the new avatar!

[Petersen]

Tad: I guess it never dawned on me that you hadn't entered before....
Gary: Throwing my weight? is that a 'fat' shot?

It's wonderful to see more entries!!! I can extend the deadline...

DEADLINE EXTENDED TILL 6-19 @ midnight (est)

now I have to figure out who to judge it...

[petriacce]

Petriacce! Love the ceiling fan one and the new avatar!Thanks Tad, I love "Hellboy: Nature of the Beast".

[Mike Cross]

My pathetic attempt...

[Maija]

There are many difficult acts to follow here, so I submit this mainly to keep David from pestering me!!

[Petersen]

Winner:
Sir Edward for "Chicken S***"
(I'll get that off in the mail to you this week Gary.)

[gary bolt]

Thank you, thank you very much. Woo hoo! I can't wait to get my prize. :)

[gary bolt]

Yesterday was one of those days for me. I had gone to the mainland on business and while I was there BC ferries had a small disaster that shut down one of the two terminals that the ships use to get people back and forth between the mainland and Vancouver Island. My usual 2 or 3 hour trip took over 10 hours (mostly just sitting in my car waiting to board). I got home after midnight and crashed. This morning Morna presented me with a package that had arrived while I was away. It's my wordless comic prize. Thanks, David. It's a beaut. I like the packing method you used, too.

[kid cthulhu]

Congrats, Sir Edward!

Hope it took some of the sting out of that gawd awful 10 hours. That's a beauty of a piece!

[petriacce]

Apparently life has been hectic. I forgot all about this.

Congratulations Sir E! Nice prize and much needed after that day you described. Yikes.

Cheers!!!

Skinnymikec send it my way brother

[ADamUnRama]

Does it have to be original??? Or can I say . . . use the Mario Brothers?


Ah hell screw it, I'll enter, and it will probably only be funny to me. But i'll enjoy it!

[Petersen]

...um Adam, the whole point is to make up words that fit into the comic I posted above to make a funny comic strip. (Take a look at the rest of the thread)

[ADamUnRama]

Peterson, sorry, now that I re-read that it came out wrong. Are we allowed to add other characters? Use . . . nevermind. I'll keep it simple. Forget I asked

[Ming]

can we use words like"hardcore forking"and "DP spooning"?? :confused:

[Petersen]

you add words and word balloons ;)

Ming, use whatever words you think won't get you in trouble with jonell

[ADamUnRama]

Its hard not to use like "Go Fork Yourself" but I will try to restrain

[Ming]

spoon says-"this fork he's into triple DP forking"

then the knife goes-"i'll show you triple dp forking!!"

something like that you can tell i watch too much online forking videos.... :(
