The 5 Hour Comic
The 5 Hour Comic ContestThe Challenge:
To produce 5 complete full size pages, penciled, inked, and lettered, in 5 hours.The Participants:
Third year Sequential Arts students …. and the results ….. fantastic!When you know that a typical comic book artist turns out an average of one penciled page a day, then to complete a page an hour – including inking and lettering, is quite an impressive feat. It is even more impressive when you know that it is done without any previous planning and the time restraints don’t allow for extra work such as roughs or thumbnails.
Dave Ross and Kent Burles judged the finished work. They had an exceptionally difficult time deciding on a winner as the whole group produced exciting work. Finally they decided on two very deserving co-winners.
Winners: Meaghan Carter and Megan Jessup.
Both artists took very different approaches to the challenge:
Megan Carter presented a true ComiCon story, weaving the story with excellent design that highlights a story brimming with confidence.
Megan Jessup tackled a story full of action, breaking panel borders and leading to a headlong and powerful conclusion.Congratulations to both winners, Meaghan Carter and Megan Jessup, and to all the participants.
Next, the 24-hour comic!
