SliTaz SliTaz Forum archive

This forum is now a read-only archive

The SliTaz community has moved to Maille, a forum made for SliTaz.

We looked hard for a replacement for this aging forum, including a move from bbPress to FluxBB last June. But spam bots now get through sign-up even with mail confirmation, and these forum engines are barely maintained anymore. So we wrote a forum in the SliTaz spirit: small, fast, no JavaScript, works on old machines and in text browsers. Everything here stays readable.

Cartoonist

Hi, we need a cartoonist for the Newsletter. The old cartoonist

has left the project and it would be nice if we could have some

artwork in the Newsletter. Please reply to this group or the

mailing list.

Thanks

Re: Cartoonist

Here's what I got so far. It's actually alot harder than I thought it would be, but I'm getting the hang of it (and thank god for the path tool!). I discovered I'm not the best copywriter though, so anybody that can come up with a SliTaz comic story and dialog, please post it! I'll finish the last panel tonight:

Re: Cartoonist

maybe the last panel can show the guy mounting the device first. I had so much trouble figuring out that I needed to mount the usb install disc or the install would fail.

Pretty cool comic. Also the characters need eyes and mouths still.

Re: Cartoonist

Actually, it's intentional that I left out the facial features. I'm trying to follow in a similar vain to the original cartoonist and xkcd. Mine still needs work though hmm

Good idea on instructional comics though wink

Re: Cartoonist

I actually forgot to finish that cartoon - lol. Then again, I suck at writing plots and didn't have a nice way to finish it either hmm

So if people can come up with plots and maybe dialogs, I'll do the basic cartoons (it's pretty easy if you use the line tool in GIMP tongue)
