CONTESTS

[Dashman]

The joke, if it's a funny comic contest, would be the important thing. After all, I don't judge a game for the graphics either. I prefer Super Mario Bros than Mario Sunshine. It's not the same saving the princes from a fire breathing dragon-dinosaur-turtle than, what's that? Ink...

why do they have to be humor comics... why not action?
i'd be into a comic contest, but the contest shouldn't be just humor

[shadus]

I was thinking of makeing a forum game where some posts a Sprite comic that has to do with the last one.They could use char sets or if they had a sprite or whatever.The comic whould have to be for pannles long.

Well I don't know. Let's just say best comic. Whether the people prefer punchlines or really cool action things is up to them.


How does that sound?

[shadus]

One word,"Good."

Ive read alot of Sprite Comics and woun't mind being a juage if you'd like.

[Drace]

Shadus try putting a space after a dot.

We could have an award for funniest comic, and an award for best drawn comic, etc.

[SaiKar]

Okay, so comics it is.

[Dashman]

Comics contests are ok. But I would not like to see a "Best comic contest" as for some people would prefer comedy, but others action.  Maybe different gender of comics, as mentioned before. Personally, I preffer comedy, but action is not bad either. Or maybe awards to "best humorous comic", "best action comic", etc..

[Razor]

Like I said, the people vote for what appeals to them the most.


OK people, so we have a contest now. We will consult this thread in the future, after this current contest is over.


Speaking of contests, I won't be doing much for over a month. School Exams!

So is it gonna only cg comic or can i make a hand drawn one.

And if so does it have to be original characters or could you make like a mini fan comic.

[SaiKar]

Here's roughly what I'm thinking of right now:

* some sort of size requirement (only to make sure people don't go totally overboard and make like 300 panels)
* probably two weeks to submit entries from when I start it
* hand drawn or computer done, your choice.
* original characters or Charas characters only. You can only 1 character from a video game or some other media in your comic. This is a Charas contest.
* you can submit your comic as either "action" or "humor".

Judging criteria:

* Quality of the art. This doesn't mean it needs to be super fancy. Simple art can be quality if it's drawn well.
* Origionality of concept. Try to think of your own situations and jokes instead of stealing the easy ones.
* For humor comics: how good the joke is.
* For action comics: how cool the action is.
* Overall presentation: name, character design, etc.

Timeline:

Contest begins
* Judges can sign up
* Entries can be received
Two weeks after contest begins, no more entries or judges will be accepted and the judging begins.
* The judges will vote on their favorites in both action and humor categories and narrow it down to four comics, two humor, two action.
* The public will vote on both an action and a humor comic.
After some time (5 days?) all the votes are tallied. The winners get medals and maybe some cool prize. The runners-up also get medals but probably no prizes.

Anyone, regardless of time on Charas, can enter.
Judges can enter their own comics.
No one, including judges, can vote for themselves.


Sound good?

[Razor]

It does now, that I've got a comic in mind!

But don't start it too soon

This week: Must do English stuff
Next week: Three exams
Third week: Finish art stuff
Last week: More art things!
Fifth week: No more school, so I [STRIKE]wet myself[/STRIKE] celebrate.

[Drace]

Yes, sounds good.

I would say 2 catergories: Hand drawn and sprite comics. Then in ahnd drawn there could be best drawn and funniest. In sprites it could be best quality and best punchline. Just throwing stuff out.
