SequAnthology

Here are some of the details for the SequA comic book.

SequA COMIC:

1)Theme comic: Various artists get a designated amount of pages (4-5 depending on number of entries) in the comic book to tell a story fitting to a theme. For example, the theme could be about the "Little Red Riding Hood" story, and from that we would see a bunch of different takes of that story.

Here are the sections that will be broken down for the next few meeting weeks:

(There is plenty of room for modification)
Concept/Roughs
In this stage the theme of the book would be revealed and an active workshop could be conducted to help members get ideas down, and help structure ways to manage time needed to get the pages done. Also, members can begin developing rough layouts and pages in the meeting and be provided with active feedback.

Line Art/Lettering
At this stage of the production, roughs should be ready to turn into sparkly clean lineart. Also those fancy lettering techniques can be taught/applied to help finish off the pages.

Pre-Press
At this stage, everything should be done and be readied to scan in, or is just done and nothing more. From here the comic order will be determined, contact sheets filled out for the end. Yadda Yadda, and the pages will be sent to KABLAM or some other print service to get a finished issue. If we can't get printing done then the interweb is always an valid option.



Currently we are still looking for a theme. So if you have theme ideas, post them on this thread from there we will hold a vote next meeting to decide the theme for the first SequA comic. Please, if you have any questions, feel free to post them in the thread or email me at nisori[at]gmail[dot]com.

We should do AI versus Argosy. We could be like JLA and argosy would be the legion of doom. Just kidding. Wizard of Oz would be cool. Any classic fairy tale would also be awesome to do.

I was thinking Rumpelstiltskin or Hansel and Gretel. Those brothers grimm are some sick puppies. Here's a link to those and a few more www.eastoftheweb.com/short-stories/Collections/ClasFair.shtml

Or to broden it, just say The Brothers Grim tales?

[Mike Winger]

sounds cool to me.

Some thoughts about the anthology theme/title:

Call it LAUNCH, because that implies strong beginnings, taking flight, starting a journey...

Or following the myth/fairy tale line, perhaps just LEGENDS... (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/legends)

or in that same vein, but illustrating our own journey as artists/writers as well, something from the Heroes Journey, THE CALL, or CALL TO ADVENTURE, or simply TO ADVENTURE! (a prerogative)

or we could each do 1 page at a time, with each artist continuing the story that the artist from the previous page started in his our her own way. we did that as a writing assignment in my english class in high school. or we could at least write it that way, if we didnt do a fairy tale.
