This is an idea that Pitface came up with!
We explain it in this Quackcast vid here: https://youtu.be/ADSESnKYcp0
WATCH it!
1. So the idea is that you sign up here to be part of this and submit your ONE or TWO page comic scene with your MAIN character in it (that's already drawn and been published on DD or somewhere else).
2. THEN we'll assign you someone else's scene.
3. Then you redraw that whole scene but with YOUR character replacing the original main character.
The exercise is for you to work out how your character would handle that unfamiliar sort of situation if they were facing it as well as adapting their outfit and hair to fit the setting so they fit in with it correctly: like if they were a time traveller and didn't want to look out of place.
DON'T make them go "Hey, where am I? what am I doing here?". NO None of that fish out of water crap.
They have to act as if they ARE the natural main character in this new setting, as if they have always been there.

Assignments:
Irevenant - Usedbooks
Ashtree House - Ozoneocean
CZweig - KimLuster
You guys will swap scenes to put your own characters in.
This order was achieved by random. I had myself in there even though the number was odd, but Ironically my number never came up :(
-edit-
Bravo has dropped out so I'm up!
Start publishing on
DD Comics!
Character and Scene Swapping fun!
I love this idea all the much!
What sort of timeframe are we looking at? I'm going to have to get a couple of pages up in order to participate. >_>
EDIT: Actually my first couple of pages are probably too slow moving to be useful for this anyway. :/ Still interested tho, if possible.
The single page could be the set up for a situation. Like beaming aboard a star ship or turning into a blind alley or any other easily adaptable situation a character could find his or her self in.
You could almost consider it like one of a scene improv piece like Second City or Whose Line is it Anyway?
Another example to use a recent page from Typical Strange: your character walks into the video store he/she works in and discovers it is closing what do they do?
Yeah.
My thinking is that In order to make it fun and doable that would don't fork over too much work onto people- redrawing one page isn't so hard. They could take on more if they wanted.
OK, I'll pair people off tomorrow!
Tonight I'm ill with a cold and too tried to think cleverly.
Hmm, we can do that next time. I though of that but then I wanted to know how a straight swap switcheroo would work so the viewer can directly compare how things change, you know?
Bravo dropped out and graciously gave me a space so it's me Vs Ashtree now.
And we can always mix this up and have multiple shots at the idea if we're inclined. Especially if it's just one page scenes- they're already plotted out and drawn so it's way less effort to draw them than it is to create from scratch.

Yup, we'll all post theme here. :D
Due any time within the next two weeks so that people have enough time to fit this new thing within our existing projects.

There's no penalty for breaking any deadlines here. It's just an arbitrary number to encourage people to start :)
