Here's the idea. We're to create a team of characters for a RPG type story. The theme of the story will be based on the character designs. We're all going to work together on each character.
- But Bomu - that's crazy! How could it work?
We don't work literally at the same time. Person A Will start off by drawing the head. Person B Will then draw the body. Person C will draw the arms. Person D will draw the legs/feet. Then Person E Will draw the character's weapon and Person F will draw the character' special item/acessory. * See below.
Now to get things in proportion I propose Person A Posts his contribution first, then Person B Prints it off, and adds his/her contribution below, after that, it's scanned, posted. Now Person B prints off the next version and adds to it etc. etc. until the whole drawing is complete!  SO, what we need is:
- People that will be willing to take part
- People that will take no longer than 3 days on their part of each character.
- People that can come up with cool ideas, which is what it's all about
- People who can work as a team. I don't want anyone saying, "Hey Bomu you messed up the character, you suck!" etc.
- People that can ink their work, since we need a continuity and a good solid medium to use though-out.
- People that will put effort into this. You don't have to be a pro artist, as long as you try hard, get things in proportion and have fun
- People that know how to scan in their work at a high res and clean it up * See OM tips section for advice
The amount of characters in the team depends on how many people wanna take part and how much work each OM member wants to be responcible for. Maybe we could have several characters on the go at the same time?
Anyone who wants in, just add your name on this thread within the week, then next week, we'll get started. Anyone who wants to join after next week, let me know and I'll try to fit you in ^_^
Any questions, just ask

G.i.A.m - great! It'll be easy once we get going.tuigi - No problem, it's not starting for another week anyway. This week's just to recruit participants. Keith - Thanks, I'm sure it'll go down well at my next job interview as my star portfolio piece! sinmaster7 - Great. Never seen anyone try something like this before, but should be fun! Shirai - heh, ok. If we do more characters, you maybe you could do something like a B, C and E (one for each?). We'll see  the metalman - Yeah it's something like that At the end of the day it's mainly just for fun at to keep us entertained, but I know we'll all gain more from it too. Bugsy - Umm, I'd say shoulders would be best as the body, but maybe it could be changed for arms, depending if clothing or armor extends to the shoulders or not?
Don't worry about the printer thing - I realise after the same image has been printed and scanned several times that it will loose quality, so as ya say, an edit can be made at the end

Hmm as far as I understood Bomu it goes like this.1.Team makes some brainstorming about character. 2. Person A starts drawing his part on paper.
He ink his part, scans it and touch it up on the computer, so that he has a nice black line.
When he is finished he post a highquality(300dpi) and a resized version (so everyone can see what he made so far) on the work in progress section. 3. Person B downloads the HQ version and prints it out.
He draws his own part on the print out, he also ink it and scans it in.
If his printer sucks, he can add the hq download and atach his new part to it.
Then he makes a resized verion of it and post both back into the forum. 4. Repeat step3 till the whole character is drawn 5. Everyone can make a color version of the finished lineart.

Random_Task, Cool, ya on the team
As far as colour goes, we'll wait and see afterwards. It's just gonna be line art for now, since some of us might not be able to gain access to some CG software and if Person A decides to 'cel style CG' their head, person B might not know how to cel-style CG, then we could have problems.
I propose we wit 'till the character is designed and completed, then if anyone wnts to try colouring the lot thier own way, they can. What do you think?Keith, Since the arms may well be the most difficult and boring, let's try to think of ways to make them un-boring! Fancy wrist gaurds, guns on the end of each finger, magical energy pulsing from the palms, deformed mutant baby heads oozing from open wounds?!  But try to keep things in the same theme as the rest of the pic. I think we'll play it by ear as far as shoulders and other joins go. I'm sure it'll go fine. Random_Task- Great idea about the teams thing. Maybe few characters per team? Then we'll have a big RPG battle royal at the end of it with our characters ...or not Hellangel, Doesn't have to be freehand on a computer. We're each gonna print out the 'character so far' pic, add to it, upload it, then the next person will take over- Basically what Giam said just above. ?But if you can do good job with a tablet or computer or whatever, then go for it! So, do ya fncy giving it go? G.i.A.m.- Ya got it in one, Even down to the "highquality(300dpi) and a resized version" bit sounds good

KDM, Great! Ok, we'll commence later this week.
Out of curiosity, does anyone NOT have access to the internet over the weekend? Jackel, cool idea. Let's hope you can get your scanner sorted for that next one then, eh? tuigi, I'll be sure to summarize anything important in the previous posts in the 'starter' thead, when the drawing will commence Hellangel, good to have you on board Scanning shouldn't be problem, as long as you can get it scanned within three days. I imagine most body parts weont take more than few hours, but everyone can have the 3 days, just incase something comes up inbetween or whatnot.

...btw bomu, do we all contribute to a black and white version and then each of us have goes at colouring it? or do we only colour our own parts...because i would be keen to see different peoples perspectives on the colouring job..
