Comic Remix v2.0
If anyone is still paying attention to this thread…
I just had some thoughts after reading through all of the archives of the previous remix, and so I thought I'd put it out there, so… just take it in the spirit it was intended, just a thought.
Something that I noticed in the "remixes", was that quite often the remix artist aimed at more or less reproducing the original page, not just textually, but in terms of panels, layout, character poses, etc.
So what the finished project turned out to be was a version of the original page done in the remix artists' style.
But occasionally you saw something different, and that was what I found most interesting. That was when the remix artist pushed the envelope, and while remaining true to the text (except for a few cases), really re-visioned the entire page, giving the exact same text an entirely new slant or perspective, or, in some cases, an entirely new meaning altogether.
So… I just wanted to put it out to everyone dong a remix this time around… consider really doing something wild, ya know? Think about the parameters of the project: all you have to do is keep the text. It says nothing about being true to the spirit of the original, or respecting the original's main point, or even using the same characters. You can literally do anything as long as you keep the text. That's it.
Seems to me a great opportunity to see different people's imaginations really running wild. And isn't that at least part of what this kind of thing is about?
thanks for listening.
I went visited all the pages of the people who said they would participate this round in hopes of finding out how was remixing my comic, but came up empty handed. But while I was going around, I noticed that ALOT of people haven't updated their own comics in a long time.
With this in mind, how many of us shouldn't expect a remix?
I wouldn't be pessimistic. Maybe they are lagging because they are making other projects ;) Besides, there were not too many who dropped out of the first one, and there is a good list of those up for double duty should the need arise. I'd be confident to claim everyone will get a remix.
Right, kingofsnake? :)
I'm only waiting on eight remixes now, and most of them are from people I'd call reprutable. I'll probably know if I need any last minute work done in the next couple days.
Rydel, you shouldn't be trying to ruin the surprise for yourself anyway. You only have a little while left to wait before the comic remix site is updated with EVERYONE'S remix.
A couple people have been jumping the gun and posting them on their own sites *cough* not that it's a big deal, and I'm totally cool with people doing whatever they want with them AFTER the release date, but before, well, it kinda ruins the surprise.
Like how christmas day is way less fun if on christmas eve you peak into all your presents.
