Guest Comics?!

AndreaC

on May 9, 2010

Sorry some of the writing is a little messy, I kinda threw this together quickly. I'll reiterate everything down here anyway.

So as the picture above says, I'm now asking for guest comics for Acting Out. This was actually something I was planning to do later on when the comic got more recognition, but I'm in desperate need for a break and I'd hate to have another hiatus right in the middle of a plot. So to avoid that, I figure that I can post comics by guest artists as well as make pages for the plot.

Now since you guys are doing a favor for me, I'm also offering a couple of benefits to anyone who would like to make a guest comic. If you make a comic, I'll post a link to it here in my author's comment along with your guest comic, giving your comic more exposure. If you don't make a web comic, I'll post any link you'd like such as your homepage or anything like that. In addition to that, I'll also make you a piece of fanart of any character of your choice, whether it's an original character, fan character, etc. Colored, shaded, and a background of your choice as well. ^^

So here is what you have to do, as posted above and added on to a little:

1. Comment below or send me a private message/e-mail telling me that you're interested in making a guest comic (wherever you know you can contact me, smackjeeves, deviantart, drunkduck, or right below in the comments, just go right ahead and give me a little RSVP. :) My e-mail is accasperberry3000@hotmail.com )

2. Create a comic in any medium of your choice (photoshop, pen and paper, etc.) with at least ONE main Acting Out character. Original characters are accepted, and you can go outside the AO world. (So yes, you CAN include your own characters in the comic as well! By main characters, I mean the reoccurring ones, not just the background characters or anything dumb like that. And you don't have to have your comic trapped in the setting Acting Out takes place in; you can take the characters to any setting you choose!)

Just so you don't get too crazy, here are a couple of easy-to-follow guidelines:

-You don't have to draw in the same style I draw Acting Out in. I actually prefer seeing the characters in many different styles than a bunch of imitations.

-Skill level or anything like that is unimportant as well. Just do your best! C:

-You can submit the comic to your own web comic or any other site, so long as you credit me for my characters.

-One more thing: It has to be kept rated G. 'Nuff said…

3. So after your comic is done, send me another message or comment with your comic's URL attached. If you're not sure how to do this or are having trouble, I can walk you through the process. (I usually use www.imageshack.us for my image hosting. I prefer direct links, but as long as I can figure out my way to the image, that's fine.)

So as you can see, this is pretty lenient stuff. :) There is no deadline for comics or anything like that, but I'll post when I'll no longer be asking for any more guest comics, which probably won't be for a while. I'm looking forward to seeing what comics you guys make. ^.^ And if you have any questions, feel free to post them below!
