This is kind of a community project...

UPDATE: Due to overwhelmingly positive response to this concept (although not really in this forum…) I have decided to turn this concept into a full-fledged comic strip. Thomas Meade is currently my only co-author, but making this into more of a group project would be neat.

Oh yes. And the title is Homerun Garden. Learn it, know it, live it.


Guys. I've been working on a sort of a comic/game in the vein of Whispered Apologies and Exploding Dog. The concept: Readers draw up just one panel of a comic strip, and I try to craft an entire strip around it, duplicating art style, lettering, and even image quality, in the case of low-end jpegs.

Here are a few examples:

I recieved the following from a Karl Spurzam:



From which I created this:



I then recieved this panel from one Thomas Meade:



From which I derived THIS:



Should any of you want to participate, just post a panel on this thread, and I'll see what I can do with it! BE WARNED, though. By submitting panels here, you are giving me the right to use them as I choose, and to post them on whatever website I please. I would advise against including your own characters, as you wouldn't want me putting words in their mouths and pasting them all over the internets. You will be credited for your contribution, and should you want, I can link to your website and stuff.

No sprites or photos, please, because there's just no way I can duplicate that stuff.

Also: I am thinking of turning this into a full-scale comic, but I don't really think I can keep it going myself without Too Far taking a hit from it. If anybody else would like to be a part of this project, just let me know, and we can maybe make it a group effort?

I'm going to post this on my main page newspost wednesday, so hopefully you will get some more comic panels to work with. :) I think this is a neat idea.

You have a somewhat unsettling ability to perfectly duplicate people's styles. Crazy.

Latest panel, from someone I know only as "Venndiagram":

Becomes:


(This one was only difficult because I wasn't sure what the black spotted blob was. I translated it as a thought bubble containing a MEMORY.)

Jolly good show that.

Yes, I do say.

Shall we head down to the local for a pint and a prawn cocktail?

Oh, Go on then.

Is there a website where you are posting this stuff maybe? It would be nice to see the ones you have done form other forums too. :)

Edit so I don't triple post:

There is no website up yet, although it is in the works. It won't work here on the duck, I'm afraid, because it's gotta be set up just so…

But I am getting the majority of these from THIS FORUM.

(By the way, thank you for the nice panels!)

Hey guys. I may have gained another co-author for this project. I know him only as Horus. He's done up two of your panels. (Though I shun his use of copy/paste!)



This one is pretty sad!



And this one is pretty gross.
