Sharpen your pencils and fire up your tablets, it's...

NaNoMangO June 2010


What is NaNoMangO?

You get from June 1-30 to draw 30 penciled comic pages in any style.

NaNoMangO is the comic version of NaNoWriMo, also known as National Novel Writing Month. This event was named NaNoMangO for manga, but it's only a play on words; comics, manga, graphic novels, etc. are all accepted in NaNoMangO!

Why should I participate?

Whether you need that extra kick to get started on your comic, wanting to sharpen up your comic-making skills, finding NaNoWriMo too intimidating, or you just want something to do in the month of June, NaNoMangO is right for you! Quite a number communities across the internet, not just this one on Gaia, are participating in NaNoMangO. Since they're all participating, why don't you?

Rules

- Draw 30 pages in 30 days. Whether you choose to post all 30 pages in one day or post one page a day is up to you.

- The pages need to be at least penciled in and readable. Refining the pages through cleanup and inking are not necessary in NaNoMangO.

- Entries may not be comic pages you already created before June 1, 2010. Entries may be pages added on to existing projects, but they can't be pre-existing.

- Comic pages that cross the PG-13 boundary should be posted in another website. You may post a link to these pages, but please write a warning on what the page may contain if you do so.

- Pages should be no wider than 800 pixels if you post here. This is to avoid page stretching. If you have an alternative website, you may make your pages as large as you like.

- You may choose any genre for your comic: comedy, drama, romance, action, adventure, etc.. However, please keep in mind the PG-13 rule.

- You may choose to draw your comics in any style. Comics, comic strips, graphic novels, manga, manhwa, etc. are all acceptable.

- Fanwork is acceptable. Parodies, fancomics, comics that take place in an existing fandom universe, etc. are all allowed. However, please make sure to write what the fanwork is based on.

- Entries may be a completely new project or part of an existing project.

- Entries can be a long cohesive storyline, short-stories on a limited number of pages, or even one-pagers. The important thing is that you draw 30 pages in any way, shape, or form.

- Participating in another NaNoMangO community? Not a problem. You may post the same pages from the other community. This is the Gaia Online version of NaNoMangO, but if you're joining any of the other fine NaNoMangO communities on the internet, we're perfectly fine with that. Just make sure to post your pages here!

- Obligatory 'have fun' rule.

- *NEW* - You can choose between doing 30 penciled pages, 15 inked pages, or 10 completely finished (inked AND colored/toned) pages in 30 days MINIMUM. We encourage you to do more if you can!

*waves arm* I'm definitely doing it.

Shadowy Phantom

Sign me up, Scotty!

I will be working on Senka, perhaps with some pages of my Side Stories comic thrown in.

Is this NaNoMangO going to have the "flavours" like the LJ one? LJ has a choice of 30 pencilled or 15 inked or 10 coloured pages. If so, I'd be going for the inked pages, but hopefully more than 15. If you're doing 30 of any kind of page, then 30 inked pages it shall be.

Updated list of participants!

@Kyou: I'm not familiar with any going-ons in LJ, but sure, we can do "flavors" too. I'll go check out the LJ community and update the rules. 3nodding

Shadowy Phantom

It's not necessary. Personally, I like March Madness's way of doing it: 30 (31 in the case of March) finished pages (inks/colours or at least very tight, finished-looking pencils), no "discounts" for inks/colours.

I think it's silly to assign weights to different states of completeness. In my case, the inks are "the works" and take me longer than coloured pages...

Eh, I think I'll throw it out there so that the NaNoMangO community is more seamless.
We could change it up so that people can shoot for a more ambitious goal, if that's okay with everyone.

Shadowy Phantom

I think all that's needed is a note that those are the minimums, and that people are encouraged to do more.

Edit: Also, change the wording on the 10-page one to be something like "inked and coloured" or "fully coloured" or something. As I mentioned before, my pages are "fully finished" at the inking stage, and for some people, tight pencils are "fully finished," and so on. It's ambiguous.

Ooo, how interesting! I missed the last nanomango, so this will be perfect.

Sign me up please!

Guess I should at least get the script ready.
