Since all pages will be sent to ironhand and me, we could just make them accessible to the other artists and send the links via PQ.

I agree with abt - if there are artists who wish to see the other pages, please do contact us and we will show you. I understand that others also will not want to and can enjoy the pages as they are updated. So if you are interested, send me a PQ
Abt - when shall i send you these completed pages?

Posted at 10:12AM, Dec. 1, 2012

Best send them to me as soon as you get them :-)

I'm looking for more of a self editorial approach. I think cdmalcolm has the right idea when it comes to sharing a Dropbox folder. I really don't want to rely on the PQ system here since it is such complete shit. We can all still send pages to ironhand or Abt_Nihil as they're completed, but he can put them on Dropbox for those of us who are nosey to see.

I've gone ahead and set-up a Dropbox folder and invited Abt_Nihil and ironhand to it.

Anyone else who wants access to the Dropbox folder can just post there email here or send us a PQ with their email and we can invite them.

On the topic of cross collaboration, I think this could help artists keep more consistency between pages/artist changes. Artists who don't care about that sort of thing don't have to request invites, it's completely optional.

I just put my page up on Dropbox. If anyone needs help with digital inking, colors or lettering, I have a little free time.

Just seen the page, Brad, and it really is incredible work! Very good job, man! I would love to work with you again sometime on a project, that was really nicely done.

Page 16 is up.

Awesome page!

Are the ninjas supposed to be wearing white or red?

Posted at 8:12PM, Dec. 6, 2012

Oh… weren't they all black (with the Baku) and white (from Matsumuro) ninjas? I can correct the colors if I just totally got that wrong.

Posted at 9:12PM, Dec. 6, 2012

They're red on page 32 and on page 5 panel 5 it says: "The main interest is the corridor as one ninja (who looks slightly different, this time in a white robe rather than the typical dark red or black)" – but I could be wrong.. I've only skimmed the script, I haven't sat down and read it all because I wanted to see the pages. :)

Posted at 9:12AM, Dec. 7, 2012

Thanks, Brad! Yeah, I dunno how I totally read that wrong… I've edited the white ninja to dark red.

Just seen the page, fuku! That's an incredible job, love that first panel especially with all the different powers being clearly shown! Very good job!

Pages are rolling in. Fukujinzuke just posted another awesome page. I just updated the color on mine to work more seemlessly with fukujinzuke's sky style. Has anyone had any trouble using Dropbox? When is this issue expected to start updating?

Posted at 10:01PM, Jan. 7, 2013

fuku - I've just seen the latest page - incredible job, man! The action flows seamlessly, it's very good stuff! I'm very excited about this issue now.
Brad - I'd say we start updating when roughly half of the pages (possibly more) are completed. The last thing I want to do is rush people for their pages. I'm currently colouring page 2 - I should have that ready relatively soon - then I will get to work on my other pages.

Brad, so cool to see your bg and color change in the Dropbox's working pages folder!

Posted at 11:01AM, Jan. 18, 2013

Should probably start posting next week before the comic ends up taking a 1-month hiatus. Maybe a teaser, at least… like a spoof "Heroes vs Ninjas" poster, but maybe not as blunt.

Posted at 3:01PM, Jan. 18, 2013

The character sheets of Bujin etc could be posted up to at least keep the comic alive for now? I don't want to rush any artists involved though.

Posted at 9:01PM, Jan. 18, 2013

Hahaha, then you might end up waiting until summer.

Posted at 12:01PM, Jan. 19, 2013

A teaser of sorts would be cool! I thought I could get something done over the christmas holidays, but it didn't work out. I'd really like to post a RISE teaser. I think PIT_FACE is gonna draw something up, and I'll do my best to get something done as well.

Posted at 1:01PM, Jan. 19, 2013

I just wanted to say that I am still going to do my second page. Life has just decided to make things interesting for me lately. But teasers sound like a good idea. I really like some of the previous teasers that have been done. Sure, my chapter didn't have any, but it really has proven the exception.

Posted at 6:01AM, Jan. 21, 2013

If anyone drops out I can pick up a page.

Posted at 1:01AM, Jan. 22, 2013

genejoke: I'll let you know. So far, noone has dropped out so I'll let you know if anybody does. I think I'll complete page 4 by the end of the week…after this has been completed, I think we should be okay to start uploading the issue, probably every monday and thursday. I'll whip up some teasers too, just in case

indeed i am workin on a little somethin-somethin! i'm hoping to have it too you in the next two days.

Due to personal issues, acts is not able to complete all his 3 pages and will now only be assigned page 7. That means pages 9 and 10 are now free - if any artist wants to step in and draw those pages that's fine. Just comment here :-)
I also think that Shinobi is all set to start updating now. Perhaps start at a weekly update and convert it to monday/thursday when more pages have been entered. I don't want people to wait any longer.

Posted at 11:01AM, Jan. 31, 2013

All right! HA #8 is going to start next Thursday.
