Hi all,
Thought I would answer a few questions:
"Darn it. I'm not good at drawing.So, I won't be able to enter this contest.My drawing skills aren't that good.The best I can do is stick figures or circular people.I am however, good at telling stories.Why couldn't you make it more on the creative writing side"
You don't have to be a good artist to take part in this competition! Just describe what you see happening in the missing panels as best you can. You could draw stick figures and that would be fine! The artist who drew the original panels will draw up the images you describe so artistic skill is not required!
"I saw that the winner will have your work rendered by a pro, so can I just send my idea for each panel instead of sending a drawing?"
Indeed you can!
"Anything special you have to mention in the mail?"
Just your character name and the details of your comic!
"Are backgrounds from RS an O.K. addtion to the comic strips?"
If it helps you explain your additions then you can add them, but remember we're going to redraw the comic entries so any specific images you add may not stay with the final version.
"Are we allowed to submit it in color?"
Go ahead!
"Could I--instead of drawing a comic, because I epically fail at art--describe with great detail the three missing panels?"
Yes, but to make it easier for us some stick figures would really help!
"Can we divide the already existing three panels into smaller panels? Like cut one is half so we can add a little more detail."
We'd rather you stick with the three panel design.
"Another question: do you take .png files (Microsoft Paint)? Because that's not one you listed. I just want to make sure before I send it in."
We can accept most common file formats.
"hey can you maybey put in a competition for haloween comics completely made up by yourself?"
Sorry but you need to use the comics already provided.
"Which Pete are the ravens talking about?"
That's up to you!
"do the drawings have to be good? or do you just want a story? or do you even have to draw?"
No. Yes. No.
"so wait do i mail my comic strip to you, a mail,edit it, or waht? I'm confused, i am not so good with computers. So how to i draw the comic on there? DO i do it on the computer or print i tout and do it?"
You need to download the comic image, add your own images (You could use basic drawing software for that, such as Paint) or write a description of what happens and then email the result to us. No printing required!
"Just a quick question, when you say it must be our own work, do you mean the idea or the drawing of characters?"
We mean you can't base the content on someone elses work. Copying the plot of Star Wars in there etc.
"1. How will you be judging it? (I.e. is it funny, etc)
2. Does it have to be about runescape? Will you like it better if it is?
3. Any tips?"
1) On the quality of the entry.
2) All the comics are from RuneScape so it would be a bit weird to switch to something else!
3) Don't throw stones at trolls.
"So, the main question, Can I do it by hand instead of computer ?"
You can do it however you like. All designs will be remade by the artist responsible for the original comic.
"can the comic also be german?"
You can send it in any of our supported languages.
"will everyone get the prize, or the best comic?"
Just the winner. It's not much of a competition if everyone wins, more of a gift shower!
Hope that answers a few of your questions!
