Also, take a gander at this Penny Arcade animation for the new Prince of Persia.
It's just about everything this project embodies.

What? Days? Hell no, im kicking ass with my new tablet i just got right now! Heres a way too small cropped wip, just to prove im working, but not revealing the entire product ;)

Btw thats some small pictures you ordered us to paint Renaenae, when i had to paint the stuff underneath the white linen, i couldent even zoom in further oO

...if you think the space is too small, maybe you need to re-think the art you're doing. Try a different angle, minimize the content, or split it up into two or more images. As the illustrator, it's your challenge to tell the author's story from a visual perspective. If it's something crucial to the plot, then find a way to make it apparent. Otherwise, what's the point of having illustrations at all. As Tim Gunn would say "Make it work, people." ;)

I'm gonna try to update the lists today, so if I miss any, let me know if your story should be moved to the 'taken' category. Thanks :P

Oh, I just remembered. I have a poem I can submit. It was selected for some anthology (a celebration of poets) for gr 10-12 last year. I'll put that on my page. Click here to read it.

Eye candy to keep interest, we wouldent want this to end like the Metropolis Disaster collab.

Quality rape

Bleh...i wanna join cause i love collabs but i dont think im good enough *Sniffle

Whirlguy's started illustrating Little Chickadee's. It will be awesome.
But I have serious doubts that we'll finish by 25th Jan.

I think a push back of the due date was mentioned briefly, but I do not know what the final answer was.

Happy new year everyone! Can't wait to see this project really take off in 09!

So, I'm doing the art for Fish in the Shoe and, since I'm too lazy to go through the whole thread, I was wondering if anyone could direct me to a book template or something, because I really don' t want to do framed drawing and I need some reference for the page size.

Also, how do we send the finished 'pages' to ReNaeNae afterwards? Do we send the .fla with with each page being a symbol or what?

We don't actually have any completed templates yet :( If you want to make your own paper, you can! The pages (left and right) in the book I made are 295 x 396 (px). If you want the file (in its nonworking state) I can post it somewhere... pm me!

If you plan on sending stuff to me in flash, yes, please put each page in it's own movielcip (Page01, Page02, etc.). If you're making it in some other app. (photoshop), you can send it as a layered/unflattened file (one page per layer, common paper), or as individual jpgs (one per page).

With the holidays and all, I've sort of let this fall to the wayside, and I apologize!! If it looks like we're going to need more time, I'm okay with extending the deadline. Another option (think I may have mentioned it before), is to just submit as they get done (instead of everyone shooting for the same day). What do you guys think?

submitting when we get done might work for me and fitin, i've been busy as hell with school and holidays, on top of just being incredibly lazy. I still need to finish writing the story, and i know fitin hasn't gotten a chance to start playing around with that sketch i gave him cause of school to.

What's the deadline again? Just wondering if i think we'll make it or not

I think scrapping the deadline entirely would be a bad thing. Sometimes deadlines are the only things that makes sure that the things that need to get done do indeed get done. I'd call for a deadline extension. I'm only aware of progress made by two illustrators for my stories. I'd like a casual due date to be set, so that the majority of us can get done in time, but as long as it's not rush rush rush rush, I'll be happy.
So far, it looks like two, maybe three of my stories will get done; Butcher of Krankhafte and the Delusion Duology parts 1 and 2. There may be someone else doing End of the Line, but really, I don't know. If those three get done, I'll be stoked, and if any latecomer would like to jump in, I wrote Firebird specifically for this project, so that would be nice (hint hint), and going off a 1 picture per stanza quota, you'd be looking at about 16 picures, as opposed to Delusion Duology 1, which whirlguy is looking at 42/43 pictures.

Oh... fiddlesticks.

4-1-09: RNNR finally fucking finishes fhe fcript.

Also:

I am a writer but i don't currently have a scanner so do i have to do the artwork for mine? pm me

no, post your story on your user page, then post a link to it here. I will add it to the list (sorry for slacking! I'll try to get that updated today sometime). Then, if an artist is interested, they will contact you.

As for deadlines, what do people think would work? I don't want to bump into Valentine's Day. March is empty... but is that too far?

Slacking? Pfft, I'm the one who has been slacking his ass off here! Gah, that's the reason I hate holidays!

March... hmm... Well, how far is everyone with their submissions? First draft of the script is done here, so the elements are in place with some revisions to be made so that it perfectly fits everything, that shouldn't take too long. However with the art, flashwork and sound to be done the 25th does seem awfully close...

March might be overdoing it, but it does allow more potential submissions. I've gathered someone's interested in my other story submission as well, so...
Can't say I like stressing out to meet a deadline, not with something as creative as this, so if March is the only option, I say go for it. Might give poor sucho more time too.

pwease overlord Naenae, give poor sucho more time. @.@

I haven't posted here in forever, which I apologize for, but I don't think anyone is going to be up to doing the artwork for my stories. Probably because the stories that I did make up might be hard to make artwork for. So if nobody makes anything for my stories just scrap them that's completely fine. I won't be upset at all. I will still help this collab out in anyway possible so if there is anything that I can do just tell me.

This sounds like a great idea. I have my story half finished right now, so just to clarify, we post the story on our own page and place the link to it here right?

Oh I forgot to ask, when is the due date for this stuff? Either way I'll burn the mid night oil to get my story done. Actually there's another question right there! Do you still need more stories for this collab?
