At 3pm on the 24th, the 24 heures de la bande-dessinée started again this year. 24hdelabandedessinee.com/spip.php?article8 The concept for the event that is followed worldwide involves receiving a specific plotpoint or detail about a comic, and spending the next 24 hours, not one more, to create 24 pages (one cover, one backcover and 22 story-pages) following it.
This year, around 400 people played part on the following theme : The story is about a mischievious super-hero (male or female).
The entire work so far, of professionals, students or beginners, can be found here : 24hdelabandedessinee.com/spip.php?page=liste&lang=en Obviously, some of the artists haven't been able to complete the 24 pages task; the duty is, after all, very difficult and demanding, and many either gave up or had to reduce the number of pages they'd produce. Also, of course, it will probably look much less "professional" in many cases than what you'd find in a comic store. Nonetheless, the experience and results are often very interesting, so I'll storytime a few ones from the pros that english-speakers will be able to enjoy too in this interesting concept. Also, I'll storytime the one I made with a friend too, translated it from french to english. Shilling ensues Also, this year, MANY spaniards and mexicans, apparently, participated. There's even a few gooks and africans.
I think I'll stop there because that was all I found in the professionals' work that can be read by english speakers. I'd advise taking a look at the rest, from beginners and students, some stuff is frankly not bad at all. 24hdelabandedessinee.com/spip.php?page=liste&lang=en
Has anybody else participated to something like this ? I know cinema and video games have a similar thing where they have to do a full project in just a few days or something.

Yeah, they started this one very early on, the friend who drew the comic I wrote with and I registered literally the last day it was possible, so it came out a bit unexpected, definitely. Have you ever participated a previous year, even non-registered ?
I also know artists like KC Green for example made a cool one, once. With a talking TV and shit like that. Was pretty good.

Fuck off val but thanks for the read.

My pleasure user ! I'd advise taking a look at more stuff on the site, especially if you can read french and/or spanish, lots of stuff in that language this year for some reason.
