Panels and Workshops / Creating Your Graphic Novels vs. How to Make a Webcomic in 1 Hour
May 24, 2011, 04:16:07 PM
Panel descriptions:
Creating Your Graphic Novels: Learn how to create, and distribute your own graphic novel without any artistic ability, or experience.
How to Make a Webcomic in 1 hr: (OR LESS!) Follow along as Scott Aleric demonstrates making his webcomic Hell Has Found Me in 1 hour or less* with quick, easy-to-follow steps. Learn fast Corel Painter and Photoshop techniques, inserting word bubbles, and prepping for web publication! *Some preparation required.
I'm a wannabe manga writer without any artistic ability (I collaborate with or commission artists). The Graphic Novels panel obviously seems more aligned with my interests but the description is vague/unbelievable, is it seriously possible to teach how to create a graphic novel in 1 hr, unless by "create" the author is referring to the publishing/printing process (instead of the creative one)?
On the other hand, the webcomic panel could teach me how to create my name as fast as possible (to pass on to potential artists), as right now I draw them at snail pace.
If anyone has any insight or advice, that would be super appreciated!!
Edit: These 2 panels are unfortunately same time same day (Sunday @ 2PM), if going to both were an option I would!

Ideas and Suggestions / Egyptian Ratscrew Tourney
May 23, 2011, 04:52:08 PM
I think this would be easy to organize, fun and relatively fast, as well as give most people a chance to participate (i.e. you don't have to be godly to really enjoy). There would just need to be standardized rules and decorated card decks or just glory for prizes.
For those unfamiliar with Egyptian Ratscrew / Ratslap / War / etc, it's basically one of those games where everyone takes turns placing cards down and you slap the pile as fast as you can when certain conditions are met (two cards of the same face value are placed consecutively, the joker is played, etc). But if a special card (Ace, K, Q, J) is placed, the next person has some number of "chances" (card draws) to also place down a special card. So it's part luck (how many special cards you have, mainly), part skill (reaction speed).
