Well, I wanted to blog the 24 hour comic day process as it happened, but alas our internet connection wasn't working.
Here's a little behind the scenes for you.
The challengers:
Me
Ryan T.Y.
Start time: 7pm Friday, April 22nd.
Ryan started with a title page - "The Adventures of..." but ran out of room, so he could only fit "The Advent". He tried to make this title work, but eventually had to redo the cover. Precious moments lost !
At one point I needed a picture reference for fire, so Ryan set his kitchen on fire.
Ryan drew and inked his entire comic by 12pm Saturday. With 7 hours to spare! He did a great job, but has doubts about attempting another 24 hour comic.
I basically worked non-stop for the entire 24 hours. I didn't really start to feel tired until 6pm on saturday. My head did feel like it needed to come off my neck, though.
I had decided to download pictures from my camera phone and create the second half of the comic in photoshop. Serious technical difficulties delayed my efforts.
When the clock struck 7pm on Saturday, I was not done. I had only completed 16 out of 24 pages, barely more than half. After 24 hours of intense focus, it really was a bitter disappointment.
Here is my incomplete version, and I plan on creating a 'redux' finished version as well.
As a person who needs deadlines to function, I like the idea of committing 24 hours on banging out a project. I may try this with script outlines and other projects. Would I try it again ? Yes. I think with more people and a less ambitious process it could be fun.
