Title: The 2012 2000AD Advent Calendar SIGN UP Thread!
Post by: Pete Wells on 01 November, 2012, 01:49:16 PM
Oooooh, it's November 1st which means it's time to sign up for the annual 2000AD Messageboard Advent Calendar!!! Every year these have been absolutely magical, providing a real treat every day on the run to to Christmas, so PLEASE sign up guys!

The way it works is like this, folks sign up and promise to produce something on a given day as a little prezzie to the board. It can be a picture, a song, a short story, photos, anything you like.

So sign up my lovelies, here's the list, just choose a day - there can, and hopefully will, be multiple people submitting per day. Like last year, Everyone is invited to sumit stuff on Christmas Eve and I'll try and get a few pro's to do something too (I'd appreciate help here from those in the know!)

Hi,  I joined the forum last year and posted on the advent calendar thread. I really enjoyed the positive and friendly atmosphere so much so that I decided to produce a 25 page full colour Dredd story for this years advent calendar.

I started work on this story March 2012 and inbetween producing artwork for Zarjaz, Dogbreath, Dr. WTF and other mags I have nearly finished it.

I would like to post one page each day on the Advent Calendar thread if possible however I really don't want to upset anyone as it's just a bit of fun to add to the festive spirit.

So I thought it best to ask forum members what you think first?

Yeah sounds like a great idea to me - a daily Dredd serial throughout Advent, what could be better?

I'm only going to sign up if I can think of a workable idea as I don''t want to book a day and then have to pull out again.

Looking forward to all the goodies!

Last year everyone who posted was good enough to say I could share their efforts on my website with non forum members. If anyone objects to that this year, please let me know, otherwise I'll just run with it.

I will use forum names and tag in any links people post with their contribution. If anyone wants more than just that, cool... just let me know. happy to add in whatever

Hope thats ok with everyone.

Well, just so you're warned, an idea is welling up and beginning to spill onto the page here in the WhitBloke studios.  Thing is, being such a colossally professional artist, I can't be sure when precisely it will be finished so I was wondering...

Pete, is it bad form for people to crop up even as late as the earlier listed dates being underway to slip in a second or even third contribution on a given day or do you need the dates/contributors in a far more timely fashion?   

Edit:
Or should I just aim for the 24th and make the Pros look even better (not that they need it)?

Why not go for the 17? In previous years people have swapped if the deadline is getting tight...

Post by: WhitBloke on 02 November, 2012, 06:00:34 PM
Makes sense to hear that, just wasn't around for this last year so thanks.  Pencil me for the 17th, please.  Looks do-able, though if any likelihood of failing to make it, shall give sufficiently redfaced notice for a jiggle of contributions.
Thanks, Pete.

Hi all,

Pete can I take Dec 4th....I'm happy to share.

I posted a few days ago with something I wanted to do for this thread, thanks to Pete, Owen, Dandontdare and large 48 for their thoughts. I've quoted my original post again below for anyone who missed it. Would the people contributing to this Calendar be ok with me posting this daily strip?

All the best!

David.

Well, you see, since I'm putting together a far less polished or talented strip myself, I'm actually of a mixed mind regarding your idea, David, but I strongly doubt I'm out of tune with other members of this here forum, contributing or otherwise.
Firstly, I'm thinking, Wow, that's going to be great to see build up every day alongside all the other festive goodies.  Secondly, I'm thinking, Wow, that's going to be great to see build up every day alongside all the other festive goodies.  Lastly but not leastly I'm also thinking, Wow, that's going to be great to s...  Oh.  Hang on a minute...  :)

Hi Whitbloke I completely see your point.

I don't want to upset anyone or spoil the fun. It would be nice to join in on this thread and run the strip day by day.  However It would be great if a solution could be found where I could share the work on this thread and avoid upsetting other contibuters. Maybe I could post the strip in 4 parts (of 6 pages) once a week if the Daily posting is no go with the majority of other contributers?

I'm gonna hang back and see what people say for a bit.

Here is a sample panel.

Hey Megabus, I think if you read Whitbloke's post back, he's joking. I really want you to run the strip day by day, that way we get two treats a day. Also, if anyone can't post for some reason, then we know there's going to be something anyway!

Most importantly though, you've put shitloads of work into this and I strongly believe it should be printed as you intended.

Day by Day, I say, wehey!

Nobody's going to object. I agree wholeheartedly with Pete - go for it.

If anyone objects, I will break into their house and write "You are a knob" on one of their comics, then leave again, leaving no trace of my presence. They will be unaware of what has happened until they discover my work, months or years hence.

It will be a fitting punishment.

Yeah David I don't know why you think people'll mind -! The very fact you've asked is amazingly thoughtful but not necessary - you're not hijacking anything!

Cheers guys, thanks for the support, I have 4 pages left to colour now and 10 pages left to letter. I'm putting every spare moment that I have into it and should have it all completed by December if all goes well.

Yes.  Totally joking as Mr Wells says but not really joking at all, David.  A day-by-day Dredd tale sounds (and already looks, having seen your de-dialogued panel above) fabulous. 
If anything, the obvious mountain of talented effort you've been putting in as a fantastic gift to the forum would demand that I should (rightly, and honestly) apologise if you took my last post as anything other than the excited compliment it was certainly meant to be.  And that's not to mention the fact that your tale means we get two Prog-length Dredds this year (!!) or the foresight you had in beginning such a project back in March, which puts my own slapdash approach to definite shame.
Not that I don't expect to greatly enjoy all the contributions as they see the light of day in the run-up to Christmas Day, but yours is already one I'm really looking forward to seeing each day.
If I did offend, I do rightly apologise, David.  And if I didn't and you saw that I was simply excited about getting to enjoy your own fantastic contribution on a daily basis, then I'm glad.  Because I am.

And with that, I'm going to shut up and get started on the work for my own... thing.   :-\

David -- I'm not sure if I'll be able to make a contribution of my own to the advent this year (fingers crossed I still will!) but I'll happily offer you some help with the lettering if it will help you with your admirable efforts. :-)

For some reason I'm being incredibly organised on this so should have my contribution done in the next week or so.

As a result if anyone earlier than me on the list needs a bit of breathing space closer to the date then let me know as I'm cool to swap

Heh. Nice one WhitBloke but save some for the advent calendar.

I have a couple of ideas stewing. Going to have to piggy back on someone else's day if that's ok – which is what we do usually as there are more than 24 of us of course.

Speaking for myself, if anybody wants to sidle up with my efforts on the 17th, totally feel free!  Good date for getting things finished by, perhaps.  (Ha, please note my use of the word 'finished' rather than 'polished to a delectable tee' in my case!)
Quite excited about the whole thing, not least with Megabus' "Daily Dredd" element every day.

Thanks WhitBloke, I finished all 25 pages about a week ago so all is ready. I like the Grey Area cartoon you posted. I especially like the layout and colour pallet that you have used with this image.

ECBT2000AD Posted this picture I drew of Dredd yesterday.

I love the ECBT website, the podcasts and reviews are well worth the visit.

For anyone interesetd I have provided a brief breakdown showing my methods drawing this Dredd picture on my blog. http://dbroughton.blogspot.co.uk/

Good grief!  Here's me just trying to do the visual equivalent of holding a tune and I've suddenly grown a palette.  Very kind of you to say, Megabus, particularly when it's followed by the reminder of that instantly enjoyable Dredd portrait.

And now, in an effort to make 1950s Christmas cracker jokes look like Perrier award material, I'm back off to scrape out the bottom of a barrel labelled "Cheap Laughs" in time for the 17th...
