New Artists' Guide - Impromanga

[Modesty]

This should help clarify some of the things scattered throughout this forum. (Man...why does my organizing suck?)

Impromanga Basics

• At the end of each month, Modesty posts a thread called "Member Availability Round #" which announces when the next round will start. Reply to the thread if you think you are free that month to make pages.
  
• At the beginning of a round, I randomly select (by rolling some random numbers) one artist to lead that round. That artist has to complete as many pages has s/he can in 30 days.
  
• At the end of a round, email the pages to modestystudio (at) gmail (dot) com. The pages should be in .JPEG/.JPG format and keep it 650 pixels wide.
  
• We'd also appreciate a page by page written summary with the emailed pages to explain exactly what's going on in your pages.
  
• After your round, you must wait one round before participating again. Example: if you drew for Round 1 you can draw again in Round 3.
  
• If you would like to quit the project you are free to do so at any time. If you do leave, your characters will be written out of the impromanga. (if you come back we can write them back in.) Please make a post or PM me if you plan on quitting or leaving for an extended period of time.
  

Page Expectations

• Finished pages should be saved at .jpgs and 650 pixels wide. (Because they are uploaded to DrunkDuck's server.)
  
• Pages do NOT have to be colored or made digitally. Any medium is acceptable.
  
• Pages should include more than just your own character and be left open-ended for the next artist.
  
• Pages should be in compliance with the Page Content Limits listed here.
  
• The minimum number of pages sent in is ONE. There is no limit to maximum.
  

Characters

• There is a total of 9 major characters so far and 4 official teacher NPCs.
  
• You do NOT need a character to participate in the Impromanga. If you just want to be a part of the creation process we welcome the help.
  
• Refer to Collective Character Stats for quick character references.
  
• We are currently not accepting new characters at this time, but NPCs/background characters can be created upon whim.
  

Plot

• Setting: 2 University style schools on an island. One is a Hogwarts style magic school and the other is a Sci-fi technology school...for which I can not come up with a good analogy. The schools are former rivals that have been forced to merge for financial reasons.
  
• Daixx the owner of the Tech school (Omega Tech Institute) is conspiring to use the schools to create elite fighters for some devious plan. (We haven't quite figured out what. Still discussing).
  
• Students will randomly be pitted against each other or battle situations to test their abilities and strengthen them. At the same time they will be going to their respective classes.
  
• Students live in student housing on the island. The student "villages" of the two schools are very close to each other. Housing is similar to university housing with dorms, various apartments, and some houses (like frat houses of sorts.)
  
• The plot is completely open to suggestions from members. If you have an idea for the plot or something you'd like to have your character do, post it in the Plot Discussion thread here.
  
• We are currently encouraging artists to only focus their pages on a few characters at a time since it's hard to always include all 9+ characters in a few pages.
  

Please post any further questions here. ;D
