APRIL ART COMP - THREE-PANEL GAG STRIPS

CrazyFoxMachine · 02 April, 2015, 06:09:39 AM

From March's winner James Newell:

QuoteInspired by "The Daily Zarjaz", create 3 panel strip of 2000 AD character or series, gag strip or 3 panel adventure (one strip = 3 panels).

As the man says - premiere 2000 AD fanzine Zarjaz is currently running a daily newspaper-style three-panel strip and this month we'd like the art comp to be in tribute to that and the medium generally.

Although ideally a self-contained three paneller is the desired result here - no sagas!

(also - I would be remiss not to mention Kerrin's "Stick it to the Man" thread from 2010 which featured many ~~terrifying~~ good examples of the form in action)

There will be a prize for the winner, and one for Tharg's Choice - ! All entries will be featured on our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/2000adartcomp) where they are admired by our 523 followers! There will also be a bonafide 2000 AD droid judging their favourite entry for Droid's Choice....!

Rules for the art comp are these:

- You can enter as many times as you like but bear in mind it will split your vote so it may not be worth it.
- All entries have to be constructed specifically for this competition - so nothing you've done for anything else.

YOU HAVE UNTIL THE 26th OF APRIL WHEN WE SHALL STRUM THE VOTING HARP

This is an oldie, but still worth dragging out...

stuartcatley · 02 April, 2015, 11:30:47 AM

A great idea, looking forward to what spews forth on this one!

And I'm glad you did, read that about half a dozen times now. Might be an oldie but never gets old.

Another old one- but one of my faves.

I have a script, but no drawing talent, so if any artist out there needs some inspiration, please get in touch.

Andy Lambert · 05 April, 2015, 01:37:19 PM

Okay, here's my attempt. Sorry it's not the best quality - I'm currently living out of a suitcase and I don't have my computer and scanner with me so I've just had to take a photograph of it.

stuartcatley · 05 April, 2015, 11:03:13 PM

Andy, that's awesome. A high benchmark set already...

Buttonman · 05 April, 2015, 11:54:27 PM

Good to see this topic back - not easy to tell a story in 3 panels as this non-entry historical testifies :

Or indeed this trouble starting commentary when Tharg suggested we were treading thin ice!

Nice to see Alvin Stardust making Cheif Judge there Buttonman
