COMIC COMPLETION REHAB || PyrasTerran's Boot Camp

COMIC COMPLETION REHAB || PyrasTerran's Boot Camp
« on: Feb 04, 2017, 03:44 PM »
A while back, our very own Angieness set up a boot camp to help members who need a push with getting their comics completed on time.

The boot camp is now being re-opened under new management with Angie's blessing (and some of her writing lifted and recycled)

Pyras' Boot Camp

Have issues meeting deadlines? Need a push in the right direction with your work ethic? Want your very own editor for a project that'll kick you in the pants to get something done?

In the 8 years I've roamed these lands I have never defaulted, and even my most incomplete of comics have a comprehensible beginning-to-end. I work a very involved job in video post production as an editor/motion graphics artist, sometimes my weeks hit 60+ hours, and I have to juggle time spent with friends family and loved ones when I'm *not* working, so believe me when I say I know the struggle of battling life when making these comics. Now this dinosaur is ready to share his crazy methods with direct 1-on-1 coaching for the drawing duration of a comic on Void.

Instructions

1) Sign up on this thread or reach me via any messenger software we share about the type of comic you would like me to coach you on.

2) When I reach you, we'll iron out a formal schedule with a set of mini-deadlines.

3) Once ironed out and drawing begins, your task is to meet each of the mini deadlines and have a complete comic by the time the deadline hits. I will be contacting you regularly to monitor your progress and keep you on task.

Sample Schedule:Bob wants a beyond battle with a 4 week deadline, he wants the whole thing to be in color. So we structure his schedule like so

May 1st:script and thumbnails due
May 8th:complete pencils due
May 15th:complete inks due
May 22nd:complete project due

The schedule will be structured differently for each person and built around how you work, if you do a page at a time that's cool, if you do everything in steps like the above that's cool too. The only thing that will be unacceptable is "I'm going to do everything in the last week", that's a waste of a long deadline. You are free to do more within each deadline so if you want to move ahead and do some coloring when you had only inking scheduled for the week, that's fine.

Rules

-2 people at a time. This is to keep myself from burning out, I'll post when I'm available again. You are free to sign up at any time, you will be added to a list. In the event there's an actual line and you want to pull out, just let me know.

-5 week maximum deadline.

Penalties

-If you fail to meet any of the mini-deadlines (including the actual deadline you are booted from the boot camp!
--[If you failed at a beyond battle/artist comic, you can sign up again after having completed a full comic on Void. If you failed at a comic battle vs an opponent, you are perma-booted from the boot camp!]
---[Forgiveness and reinstating may happen on a case-by-case basis]

-Being booted from the boot camp a 2nd time is a perma-boot! You can no longer sign up for coaching

-Belligerence, rudeness, aka "Being a Douche" will result in a perma-boot!

...yeah okay I need this. I've only defaulted once due to unfortunate events, and I don't feel like repeating the experience.

Okay, I'll do this for a comic battle.  At least 3 weeks.

Considering how last year turned out, I really don't want history to continue to repeat itself over and over again.

I honestly couldn't be happier with the end result. It was a rough week, but I've learned so much during it and the end result is my best work yet. If you're on the fence about trying this, don't be. It is 100% worth it.

I feel like this would be good for me, since I'm seriously considering coming back to the site to strengthen my skills.

I would like to add my name to the list.

Hello! I would like one bootcamp please.

I haven't fought in a year. My last battles were improvements but still incomplete and I ended up canceling my last one because I got too complacent in making it.

I would like to find a way to break me of my creative complacency and just start->make->finish a comic and do that repeatedly, forever.

For now I will settle for hitting deadlines.
