Go follow Comics Should Be Good on Twitter (if you have Twitter, that is - if you don't, you can go sign up). Here is our Twitter page... http://twitter.com/csbg. And here are the Comics Should Be Good writers who are on Twitter (the links go to the person's Twitter account) - myself, Greg Hatcher, Chad Nevett, Kelly Thompson, Sonia Harris Danielle Leigh, Melinda Beasi and Michelle Smith!
The blog's Twitter account updates whenever a new post is put up on the blog, so it's an easy way to keep up with the blog. In addition, I post new content on the blog's Twitter account. As an incentive to follow us, if we reach 3,000 followers, I'll do another Month of Greatest Stories Ever Told!
Now on to the bit!
So every week, I ask a question here. You reply to it on our Twitter page (just write @csbg with your reply) and our SIX blog sketch artists will each pick one of your suggestions and I will post them here every week. So every week you will have a new question and you will see the top six choices from the previous week.
To qualify, you have to be following us when you reply - so go follow us and then give your answer to the following question/challenge (All suggestions due by 6 AM Pacific, Friday, May 19th).
Next week's theme is...
To mix things up a bit this week, The Line It Is Drawn Presents Dark Horse! Team-up or mash-up characters from two (or more) different Dark Horse Comics titles (preferably not the licensed stuff - unless they are original characters created for the comics, like the Star Wars Legacy characters)
Read on for the six sketches that came about courtesy of the last question/challenge!
Mash-up a famous painting with a comic book character.
Enjoy!
