P.O.W.! Challenge 41
Deadline: Sunday, May 16, 2010, 11:59 pm anywhere in the world.
Topic: Shark(s)...
I thought we should have a bit of fun, so I'm throwing tis up in the air to see where it lands. There are about a thousand ways to interpret the word "shark," from the litteral big fish that wants to eat you like in JAWS, to those types of people who display the attributes (real or imagined) of that fish. Cold-blooded, voraceous, spooky, untrustworthy, unethical, greedy, dangerous, and all that good stuff. This is a chance to get spooky/scarey/or even with your ex-GF/wife...
You can interpret the art any way you wish, and the more creatively, the better. Any media. B&W or Color. We're also going to stick with the (almost) three-week Challenge period for a while because it seems to be giving people a bit more time to play.
You can present your solution as a minimum of TWO to a TENTATIVE maximum of SIX pages which adhere to standard comic specs as below...and, yes, you can have the first or last (or both) as a splash page if you want. You can go to additional pages without asking if you have a decent idea that requires it--just don't get too extreme on page counts.
REMEMBER: You don't have to have a complete comic to qualify for polling--if you're idea requires six pages or so, go for it, but if you realize you're running out of time, try to get at least TWO finished by the deadline. That's all you need to qualify.
Standard Comic Book Size:
--Trim size: 6 5/8" x 10 1/4"
--Live art area: 6" x 9"
--Bleed size before trimming: 6 7/8" x 10 1/2" (1/8" in all directions)
This thread will be the place you ask questions on this challenge, trash talk, post WIPs and post your final art. See the READ THIS FIRST thread for all specs.
Good luck.
Again, this one is three weeks rather than the usual two weeks to see if it will allow more participation or just cause a lot more procrastination.
P.O.W.! Challenge 42 will be posted on Sunday Midnight, May 16, 2010.
