Yeah Thought Bubble always has a great atmosphere. Plus it's always nice to visit my hometown of Leeds

James, I think you would need to be there, though I may be wrong. Usually you take your entry to the 2000ad table for them to look over and then, if you are shortlisted, the winner is usually revealed the following day.

Hi all

In case some of you weren't aware, Thought Bubble have recently released details of this years writing/art comps

http://thoughtbubblefestival.com/events/2000ad-competitions/

Anyone going to give it a go? I will be having a stab at the sample script

Dan

Hi guys. Anyone entering this year's portfolio comp? The script is now up:

Good luck if you're going to give it a go!

Hey Steven,

Thanks for the feedback mate, much appreciated! You are so right about the sofa... its massive! How did I not see that?! Thanks very much I'll make improvements based on your suggestions

I think your page is wicked, I prefer this to your PF attempt actually, If you don't mind me saying. The story telling is really clear and I like that you really stuck to the script in terms of angles where many people, myself included, have deviated. (I just couldn't get that last panel right).

Nice one, lets see page 2 and beyond!

I really enjoyed your work Steven, I think PF is a really tricky one to draw after giving it a bash myself. All the advice you received will no doubt make it better. Well done... let us know when you get a reply!

So I thought I would give Cycle of Violence another go. Sorry if you guys are sick of seeing this story! I was just really unhappy with my last stab at it so wanted to give it another go. After a long period of self doubt about if I can draw or not I'm slowly building in confidence so hopefully this is a bit better than my last try.

These are just sketchy pencils at the mo, but if anyone has any crits/feedback to offer I would be very grateful.

Thanks very much!
Dan

ah, thanks Jon! I hope we get to see his pages, he's got a lovely style. Well done to Will!

Did you get through as a finalist Jon? I hope so, those pages are bloody fantastic!

Wow, everyone has submitted some amazing work for this, well done everyone!

I didnt get to go on the Sunday so don't know who won, does anyone know where we can see the winning entry?

Saturday was great. It was really interesting seeing how everyone had tackled the script and given their own spin on it. Peter Doherty was really generous with his time and spoke to a bunch of us for a while, giving us tips which was brilliant. Matt gave me some really constructive advice which was much appreciated.

I wasn't totally happy with my submission but I did learn a lot by doing it so it was a really positive experience, I hope they do a comp next year.

Anyway, here's the first page of my entry. I hope everyone else posts their stuff too, I saw some amazing work at TB!
Cheers
Dan
