24 Hour Comic Day -- The Movie

Yes, they filmed us. If you want to get a great idea of what the event was like -- and hear some odd interview questions get lethargic answers from sleepy contestants including yours truly, then click the links, if you dare:

Thanks to Shawn and Daniel for creating the videos!

24 Hour Comic On-Line

Okay, I'm planning on adding some more information (I also need to do a post here recapping everything), but for those of you who can't wait, my 24-hour comic is posted now, right here:

I Declare Victory!

Just finished the final page and checked through all 24. Overall, I'm pretty happy. I stayed awake all night, and I succeeded. The comic is pretty lame looking, but I'm okay with that -- I'll get better in time for next year.

I won't have the comic online until tomorrow at the earliest; I may not have time to get it online until next weekend. But I'll let you know.

Ryan is just finishing up his (far superior) 24 hour comic. I'm going to stick around and read his once he's done -- then it is off to my hotel for some sleep!

Sunrise

Yes I am still here. 20 pages down, 4 to go, slightly more than 5 hours in which to finish. So I'm feeling good about making it. I'm also feeling like I wish I was a more capable artist. Lots of times I wanted to draw something, but just had no idea how.

Looks like Ryan and I are the only ones still in the running to actually meet the challenge. DJ was keeping up, but he just gave up and went home. Daniel is still here, but he was never on pace to get 24 pages done. There are people who are putting out high quality (like Daniel), and people putting out high quantity (like me). Ryan is the only one doing both. But Ryan makes his living as a comic book artist, so.... whaddaya expect.

Anyway, I just ran out to Starbucks to caffeine up for the final 5 hours. Gotta go drink my quad-venti now.

Everyone Else

I was going to try to do a blog post on all the other folks doing this with me. But, Sean who runs Spazdog has already done that on his blog, so I will just point you there.

Four AM

Four a.m.

I made a couple really simple pages, so I have 18 down, 6 to go. I need to take a break.

I am 10 to 20 years older than everyone else here. I'm too old for this. Whine whine whine.

Actually, I'm still having fun. I may not be coherent though.

Am I making sense? Or snese? or nsene olfjc nsdl sdfljeia ??

This Is Where It Gets Crazy

2:30 a.m. Fifteen pages done. My thumb is killing me. My back isn't real happy either. But I'm not tired and I'm not about to give up.
