Create a comic for SMBHQ's 10th Anniversary - VGF

**Sean P Kelly** · 03-07-2007, 06:04 PM

I put up a mini-contest for people to make comix for SMBHQ's 10th Anniversay.

The response so for has been slim (and ignored my requirements), so I thought I would post it here.

The requirements are as specified:

Each frame should be a separate image of GIF or PNG format.
Each frame should be approx 380x224 pixels
Dialogue should be Bold using Arial font, and a text size of 8
For simplicity reasons, all comix should be no more than 50 frames
The plot can be anything, as long as it deals with the 10th Anniversary

The comix should be submitted to smbhqmail@gmail.com with the subject "SMBHQ 10th - Comix"

Hm maybe I'll try this out. First I need some ideas. About the characters... Can they be anyone or do they have to be NC characters? (I read on the site about this and I believe it said it had to be NC related.)

Spritedude · 03-07-2007, 06:30 PM

Hm, sounds cool. I'm entering this. Is there a due date?

Irby · 03-07-2007, 06:41 PM

This may be a retarded question but I have to know: How can we tell how big our frames are? I honestly have no idea.

I made a comic just in case, but it's probably too adult, and it might offend Sean and a few other people (they're a part of the jokes).

Not per se, but the 10th Anniversary is August 1, so I would say by mid-July would be best.

Lord Kenny · 03-08-2007, 10:00 PM

Hmm...I'll make a comic.

Dude, do you just want to start a flame war or somthing?

Irby might not be the best comic maker in the world, but that dosn't mean he shouldn't be able to make a fan comic. Your not that great, either, but you dont hear me saying "For the love of God, don't take SephirothKirby's."

And Irby, please don't respond to this guy. Lets just get back on topic, everyone.

**Crazyswordsman** · 03-09-2007, 12:02 AM

I started mine tonight. It should take me a few months to do (I'll probably make a frame every time I have nothing to do). I hope you don't mind a few things, Sean:

1. Do you mind if I use some (one) of my original characters along with the NCs?
2. 380x224 pixels is pretty tiny for a frame.
3. What rating should it get? I'm trying to go for a PG-13, somewhere in between the Homestar Runner and Family Guy range.

I put that because it's the average size for NC comix

Try for something not that different than what you read in NC.

Ok thanks. Also does our characters have to be NCs or can they be other Mario chars?

YOU ARE MY FRIENDS · 03-09-2007, 10:05 PM

If some of CSM's characters can be in it, I'm sure anybody else can be in it.

Irby · 03-09-2007, 10:31 PM

Um ok... Expect a comic from me soon. First I need some ideas...
