Whew! I thought we were gonna have to design the dress!

[MarrowMan]

Hypothetical question; If I were draw a short story comic for this (and asked Jake Ingman to write it)

Could that count as an entry for both of us?

[drmirage]

Great question. If your co-opp entry reaches the top 10, both you and Jake will receive 1 prize each since you both are involved in the submission.

So as long as its your creation, I think its a great idea! If a participant is interested in designing the dress. You can simply illustrate (draw, paint, sketch.. etc)
Another option is creating the actual dress dress. (As long as you have a photo / video)

Whew! I thought we were gonna have to design the dress!

This should be a fun little contest. We mentioned it to VEI so they're going to be checking out the entries themselves.

This is one promo that is ENTIRELY based on creativity so Elery and I are looking forward to what everyone comes up with.

I've got a few ideas. Doing a little research to see what can be created on this end.

Well, I've begun working on our mini comic (Written by Jake Ingman, all art by me)

Hope I get it done in time, heh.

Here's the cover (I may make another)




Edit.

Second Cover.

[nscc]

I will be participating time permitting.

Seems like a fun idea, I will be doing an RPG mission briefing (in VPRG terms) for the wedding and surrounding events!
Started on it late last night, got some ideas on how to incorporate the theme and requested info into it, while still being really (I hope) fun for the players.

Focus will be on the wedding but also having events tailored to the type of character the players play (ex, if someone is involved with the magical area of VEI, then one of the scenes will be Magic related...)

I don't know if I'll be able to get a group together to run it, but if so will record the session.

Posting here to hopefully motivate myself to finish!
