Fanart Prompt Challenge Discussion

Figured I'd give another quick reminder that there's only a few more days before the deadline for the Crossover prompt. I know that @RainbowFaceProtege and @StardustSoldier , both of you are looking to participate in this. How's it coming along?

I worked on it today. Three days to get it done should be plenty!

Great! Looking forward to it!

@Flathead770: I'm sorry to make this request again, but could I have an extension please? Just to May 7th or 8th would be fine. I had wanted to get my drawing done sooner, but the past few weeks were rather stressful.

I will make an effort to start my next prompt sooner.

Flathead770 · **Reply #264 on:** April 29, 2020, 10:36:56 PM

I can probably give you a week extension, yeah. Trying to cut back on over extending deadlines so don't want to go beyond that.

Good luck!

Okay, I finally finished my entry for this prompt. Who do I send the link to so I can be added to the masterlist/voting?

Flathead770 · **Reply #266 on:** May 01, 2020, 12:26:38 AM

Oh! You just need to specify which drawing is for your prompt on the post itself (so you can't retroactively use older drawings as a submission). I generally check the fanart section frequently so I'll catch it and add it to the list!

If that feels to sketchy then you can always send me a PM or something to let me know

Well we ended up dropping the voting part of it and it's now just for participation. But yeah, if you want to add a background to it that would be fine. May 7 is the current extended deadline and won't go passed that. The fanart prompts have a history of deadline extensions (and I will admit I was late a good amount of times myself) but I'm trying to slowly reel that back to follow the schedule better

RainbowFaceProtege · **Reply #269 on:** May 01, 2020, 12:07:23 PM

Oh, okay. Voting or not, I would've been in for the participation points alone to begin with.

Thanks for the quick response, I'll have a new and improved pic by May 7!

Flathead770 · **Reply #270 on:** May 01, 2020, 12:18:43 PM

Yeah, participation was low and the idea was brought up that choosing what art is the best (even if it was stated to be based on creativity and not technical skill) was a deterrent for people joining in. Could be a coincidence but there has been more activity with the prompts since we dropped it.

Looking forward to your updated drawing then!

Hm, that's kind of surprising to me.

I don't know what makes it different than the fanfiction vote myself...guess the fanfic people must not mind it as much somehow.

Flathead770 · **Reply #272 on:** May 02, 2020, 11:08:18 AM

Whoops, forgot to mention that the new fanart prompt is now up!

May/June: Comic: Create a short comic/graphic novel strip to depict a scene or short story, whether it's your own re-imagining from the movies, a part from a fanfic (make sure to get permission first), or your own custom story! (within the LBT universe of course

)

This one could potentially be a lot of work, but it's something that I've wanted to try out for a while now. Might be a good idea to keep each individual frame more on the simple side to make things easier. I might also recommend starting early and with a rough storyboard to plan things out. I'm looking forward to seeing what people can come up with!

Sneak · **Reply #273 on:** May 02, 2020, 01:06:30 PM

whoa.

THAT is interesting.

questions:
1) how many comic frames and pages should be?
2) Does scene, pictured in comic, should be completed (well, beginning and its logial conclusion before next scene starts), or it can be ended in the middle of action?

Flathead770 · **Reply #274 on:** May 02, 2020, 01:13:42 PM

I would say as many as you want to tell whatever story you're doing, but I think there will need to be at least a few frames, otherwise it would just be a regular drawing. Don't need to go overboard though. If someone wants they could potentially end it on a cliffhanger and do a "To Be Continued" type of thing, which could be neat.

Ducky123 · **Reply #275 on:** May 04, 2020, 04:33:42 AM

I think at least a page with at least 4 panels is what I'd consider the minimum to consider it a comic.

At least I know that Mangas usually don't go below 4 panels per page unless it's some specific detail-rich scene or whatever

Mumbling · **Reply #276 on:** May 04, 2020, 07:06:39 AM

I don't think that should be a hard requirement. Most comics I read in the newspaper for example tend to have 3 panels, which works well enough.

Excited to see what everyone will come up with!

Flathead770 · **Reply #277 on:** May 04, 2020, 12:45:31 PM

It all depends on what you want to go for. If you want to go for a more newspaper comic strip style then by all means go for it! Something like this would be acceptable in my opinion.

Good to see you're interested in joining in on this one as well Rainbow! No need to feel too rushed however as you do have around 2 months to finish it.
