Is there a forum for the 2016 talent hunt or can we use the existing one?

The existing thread is probably the best place to post. Plus, there are a lot of tips in that thread from the previous contest that will be helpful for the upcoming one I would think.

I really wanted to join the last one but had so many things going on. I hope I can jump in with this one with the last idea i was hoping to play around with.

How do I know how the characters of each comic look? I can't find any info on the internet and I don't have enough money to buy the comics :/

Firstly, if you want to win, you should really read the comic books.

Save up some money and go buy some.

You'll get a better feel for the universe by actually reading the comic.

As for images on the internet, there must be a ton.

I mean, you're on Comic Book Resources, there must be a ton of previews for Cyber Force, Aphrodite IX and the IXth Generation on this website alone.

Comic Vine is also a good resource.

I agree. I'm sure they'll start a new thread with the official launch, but until then, there is a lot of useful stuff on the current one.

As well as the Free Comics that were mentioned at the end of the Terms & Conditions document; Stjepan Sejic is kind enough to provide a preview of the IX characters (sans Hephaestus) over on Deviant Art http://nebezial.deviantart.com/art/a...9-XD-429249118 and IXth Generation: Hidden Files #1 will be of particular interest as it highlights some of the Cityscapes mentioned in a few of the scripts.

Well yeah but, because the main characters from the comics which the artists have to draw are secondary or terciary characters on the actual Aphrodite IX run, I can't seem to find any info on them neither on any of the secondary or terciary characters of Athena IX, Apollo IX, Artemis IX or Poseidon IX.

[Mathew]

The supporting characters appearing in the scripts for Athena IX, Artemis IX, Apollo IX and Poseidon IX could possibly be unique to those stories, if that's the case then all the information available would be in the script.

On the ATHENA IX #1 script, it has a pro-tip: Read to Zeppelin's "Kashmier" (especially the battle scenes). What exactly is that referring to? When I search it I am always directed to Led Zeppelin's Kashmir. What am I missing here?

Thanks

You got it. The writer wants you to read the script whilst listening to Zeppelin.

[Markdjango]

It's exactly that! It's for you to listen to Led Zeppelin's Kashmir while drawing the comic. This writer has quite a musical taste

which characters are you interested in?

[Markdjango]

Well, when taking a look at Poseidon IX, I noticed a character named Cyborg Lover. All the other secondary and terciary characters, I don't really know them..

[Brett_Strong]

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I can't find it anywhere. Do they want the full story drawn or are we supposed to choose a few pages and just draw those?
