Exquisite Corpse 03 - ABSTRACT!! - LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE DONE DAMNIT >:

[bigtimecow]

EXQUISITE CORPSE 03 - ABSTRACT!!

REGISTRATION IS CLOSED :rock

participants:
bigtimecow
omgsmg
MLE
Nick
Grislygus
sloth
glowbelly

when you guys are done and send them back please let me or omgsmg know
YELLOW MEANS YOU GUYS ARE DONE AND HAVE SENT THEM BACK!!

so, this exquisite corpse will be of the physical form. meaning, we all pool addresses and each person gets sent a sheet of paper (not crappy computer paper; thick, good, absorbent paper) of a specific size, and each one has some guiding lines on it. for example:

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a346/sandradoesdallas/1-3.jpg

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a346/sandradoesdallas/2-2.jpg

here are the first and second sheets (just examples). each sheet has these guidelines drawn onto them (probably in ink or something else permanent), and these will serve as the "connecting lines." so as long as people follow these lines on the edges, each piece will connect together perfectly!

and here are some examples of how finished pieces would look when fitted together:

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a346/sandradoesdallas/1-done.jpg
http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a346/sandradoesdallas/2-done.jpg

once they are all done, they would be mailed back to me to compile and scan, blah blah blah blah. the size we used for these images is 5" x 7". omgsmg and i would cut all of these papers to send off to people, as well as draw all the lines on them. we would be participating as well, but we promise to do our pieces before we get anyone else's back (so that it's fair).

here's the image that sparked omgsmg's idea for this project:

[MLE]

I am absolutely fucking serious about this.

[Nick]

I am absolutely fucking serious about this.

[Grislygus]

YEEEEEEEEAAAAH, BOY

[Grislygus]

So, it looks like from the examples that we only need four people, we have four volunteers, I say we do it

[bigtimecow]

we could do as many as we want, and technically we have five (omgsmg and i came up with the idea, so we'd have to be included). BUT THAT'S BESIDES THE POINT. we should definitely start this soon

[Nick]

We probably should finish the last one before starting this one.

[omgsmg]

i agree with nick & i wish more people would join!

[Sacks]

You guys call me when we get some secret santa-esque art projects going on up in here. I WANT KEEPSAKES, PEOPLE, MEMORIES TO LAST A LIFETIME.

[bigtimecow]

i'm bumping this. the second exquisite corpse is almost finished, so we need to start this one soon. i'll make a list in the first post soon

[bigtimecow]

so, EC02 is done! check it out damnit >:

but alright, so you all need to pool your addresses to me, so me and omgsmg can get this shit sorted out

[omgsmg]

it looks awesome! :P

[bigtimecow]

list started, everyone give me your addresses!

[Nick]

How does this work out with 5 people?

[Sacks]

Well if they intend to do the body like those other people they could simple do the sky and top of the head as the first one or have someone do the feet and the ground as the last.


Are all the guide markings going to be done on separate canvases/whatevers and sent out at the same time or are they all going to be sent around together? The first post lead me to believe it would be sent out separately but I'm curious and wanted to make sure.

[bigtimecow]

Nick, the amount of people doesn't really matter. it might not even end up being a legitimate person; they'll just flow together to form something.

Sacks, all sent at the same time, seperately. you should join!

[Sacks]

I'm thinking about it.

[Nick]

So will we know which person has which body part? As in, we know what part we should make?

[omgsmg]

no one said it was going to be a body, it can be whatever you turn it into. the image above is just an example of how the whole thing will come together in the end.

you can turn it into a woman giving birth if you wanted to. it just needs to all connect to the lines you are given on your piece of paper. the outcome could end up being nothing but a bunch of pictures connected together; either way it'll be cool and everyone has a chance to show off their art and what they can do.




are you in nick? or are you out? please let us know asap.

[bigtimecow]

okay, so i have everyone's address now, so it's up to me and omgsmg to get this all organized and send everything out. we'll keep you guys updated!

[Nick]

I'm in, I was just asking what's up with this.

[sloth]

is this all sorted then? i'd like to join in but I don't want to be a spanner in the works or anything. plus I don't know how expensive it'd be to ship the kind of heavy stock paper you're talking about internationally. hollaback

[bigtimecow]

where exactly?

[sloth]

UK. If it's easier you can just email the dimensions and guiding line points, and I'll make it up here. I don't mind shipping it over.

[bigtimecow]

i don't think the UK will be that much; PM me your address and you're in

[bigtimecow]

sloth, you're in!

[glowbelly]

i should probably do this.

[bigtimecow]

if you want to, the time to decide is now. me and omgsmg have the paper, now just need to decide on the guidelines and send 'em out. we'd love to have you do it!

[bigtimecow]

i'm bumping this again; we want more people! so we're gonna leave the registration open until saturday night

please spread the word! this could be AWESOME

[Sacks]

Has there been any decisions as to if it will be a body or random things or what?

[bigtimecow]

i say random things, as long as they connect. because doing a body would get really complicated with who does what part, etc.

as long as it doesn't look like shit i'll be happy :)

[omgsmg]

i feel like we should call this ABSTRACT Exquisite Corpse 03, so that way people don't feel like 'hey, this has to be a certain part of a body' or something like that.

because, the way i see it as long as all the lines connect where they are supposed to in the end then this is going to be a pretty sweet piece because of all the mediums and different art styles put into it.


sacks you should join in.

[bigtimecow]

i agree with omgsmg whole heartedly; abstract would be a wonderful theme

any other comments?

[omgsmg]

yeah, stop being the last person to always comment everyone else's comment.

[omgsmg]

:love

[glowbelly]

my true medium is photography, but i think i could make it work so i'll pm ya'll with my address.

[MLE]

Make sure to put an arrow on the back so we all know which direction is "up"

[sloth]

any idea when these'll be going out, and what the dimensions'll be? i've got some ideas knocking around but ill be away from 14th to 22nd (somebody'll be around to take the parcel though). you got a tentative deadline for getting it all back to you?

[omgsmg]

they'll probably be going out by tomorrow or this weekend. and the dimensions are 5" x 7". we don't have a deadline yet, only because we aren't sure when everyone will get them. i'm gonna update the first post and say that whenever you guys get them you should let us / the thread know.

[arg_zombies]

Can't wait to see how this'll turn out :D

[bigtimecow]

fudge. i wanted to send these out this weekend (that just ended) but it's gonna have to wait until i get paid on friday. THEN, they will DEFINITELY be out. i fucking PROMISE

[MLE]

As I said before, pleeeease remember to put an arrow on the back so we all know which was is up.

[bigtimecow]

hey guys these are out. and yes, there are arrows on the backs

please PM me or omgsmg when you receive yours!

[Nick]

About time, cow. >:

[bigtimecow]

jesus Nick

[Nick]

Don't worry, it's cool.

[bigtimecow]

:love

[MLE]

Received and pretty much finished unless I get a flash of inspiration

[sloth]

ok i just got mine, i will get a-cracking and try to get it back to you asap!

[bigtimecow]

COME ON NICK, JUST WAITING FOR YOU >:

[MLE]

BTC, pm me your address so that when I lose this envelope, which I know I will, I'll still have your address and be able to send it back on time.

[bigtimecow]

PM'd!

if anyone else would like me to PM them my address just in-case, let me know

[Nick]

I would love it, if I actually received my paper.

[bigtimecow]

Nick, what was weird with yours, it got sent back to my house and it needed extra postage. it was all taken care of, so you should get yours soon. sorry man!

[Nick]

Seems like the postal service is trying to squeeze all the money out of you they can. :(

[Nick]

I got the paper, awesome.

[bigtimecow]

HEY, when you guys have sent them out please let me know. sloth already let me know, and i'll start marking names now

[Sacks]

I sent mine back.

[MLE]

I need to send mine. I'll do it when I can walk. My foots messed up.

[Nick]

I'm struggling with it. You know with the unoriginality and all.

[bigtimecow]

:( who called you unoriginal?

[glowbelly]

i'm gonna work on mine today and tomorrow and i will send it either tomorrow or the next day. sorry it's late i'm just a procrastinating jerkhead.

[Nick]

:( who called you unoriginal?
As song as I stop fighting with myself over what exactly I should draw, I'll let you know.

[sloth]

so is this still happening or what

i demand closure!

[bigtimecow]

i only have yours back, so i dunno

i'm upset and losing hope though ;(

[omgsmg]

EC3 - dead?!

we haven't gotten any back except for sloth's.
we asked for them back almost a month ago.. i'm losing hope. :(

[Sacks]

Send me a square I bet I can get it done and back before the rest of these rimjobs.

[bigtimecow]

you're probably right :rolleyes

[Sacks]

LETS DO THIS THING I AM JUICED

[Nick]

I'm still toying around with mine. Not to mention trying to get a comic strip syndicated. I'm a busy man!

[bigtimecow]

you guys have had them for 2 months >:

[Nick]

I have a feeling that this abstract one is going to stick together like poop.

[bigtimecow]

i have a feeling that WHO KNOWS WE'LL NEVER KNOW BECAUSE THEY WILL NEVER GET DONE

[Tadao]

Hows it going guys?

[Sacks]

BTC won't send me a square so I can't save the day.

[Grislygus]

If nobody else has done it other than me and sloth, having Sacks fill in the blank isn't a bad idea, BTC

[Pub Lover]

It's been a bloody month since he offered & those other jerks haven't done squat.

[Grislygus]

In all fairness, I only sent BTC a digital copy of mine

Though if Sacks gets to do a fill piece I'll send out the hard copy immediately.
Or, alternatively, if everyone else finishes theirs

[bigtimecow]

i might just send one to sacks. to be honest i haven't even thought about this project in so long because it annoyed the crap out of me when everything was / is absurdly late. especially when certain people told me they were already done

>:

[sloth]

>:

[Nick]

I'll finish mine up this week. Expect something with kitties.

[bigtimecow]

yup

[Nick]

Like, a butt load of kitties.

[Grislygus]

Alright, if Nick isn't done RIGHT NOW, I motion for an emergency bailout, second my own motion, and viciously beat any opposing lawmakers Preston Brooks-style

[Pub Lover]

FUCKING JESUS YOU PEOPLE IT HAS BEEN YET ANOTHER MONTH! >:

[Grislygus]

I swear that I will post my section right here, right now, and ruin everything if I am not appeased

[Grislygus]

Seriously, I'm getting irritated that I can't show it to anyone because everyone else sucks. I got mine done despite a 26 credit college load, full time work, and overall drunkenness and irresponsible behavior, what the hell guys >:

[sloth]

according to the internet my entry has travelled roughly 12,000 kilometres

and it was still on time
NO EXCUSES >:

[Sacks]

Yeah but here in America we have miles, and those are way bigger than kilometres!

[bigtimecow]

just post them. fuck everyone else

[Grislygus]

WAY ahead of ya


Sacks and I have already launched a TOP SECRET SALVAGE OPERATION ONLY FOR COOL PEOPLE, if you omgsmg or sloth want your pieces fit into it pm me, if not just post 'em

[Grislygus]

Also, when the hell was Tithonus last on, he is officially invited to the TSSOOCP, that boy kin art

[glowbelly]

hi i did mine but i think it's funny watching everyone get all boo hoo crabby pants about it so i think i'll hold on to mine for a little bit longer :D

[liquidstatik]

U BTCH

[Sacks]

hi i didn't do mine and i think it's embarrassing that I was a big lazy bum and stopped everyone from having a wonderful time so i think i'll hold off on mine for a little bit longer :D

Well at least you're honest.

[bigtimecow]

it's only aggravating because the last 2 exquisite corpses went off pretty smoothly. and then everyone was all "oh hey i'm done sending now thx" and then 2 months later

[glowbelly]

i dare you to call me lazy TO MY FACE >:

[Nick]

I blame the fact that what I was suppose to draw was changed about twenty times, before we copped out and settled for "Abstract". Jerks.

[glowbelly]

i found mind and i decided that i want to redo it because i don't like it :(

i might be able to fix it with some paint.

[Rez]

KAREN YOU ARE LAZY

[glowbelly]

to my face, bitch. >: in ohio >: ;)

[Nick]

I need to buy some more glue sticks. :(

[Nick]

Oh man, I feel horrible about this project. Fact of the matter is when I originally signed up for this I believed we were doing something, then it turned into this abstract mess. Maybe we can salvage this some how? If not, maybe we should just put together the parts you actually got and get this project over with so we can start a new one. :(

[Tadao]

Can I be the mediator?

[Grislygus]

Shit, my submission turned out just fine by itself. This whole thing's dead, it's a real tragedy, blah blah, moving on now

[Sacks]

We'll see about that.

[Grislygus]

Just make yours the top half, we'll do a one-two and ignore everyone else

[Sacks]

Excellent.

[Nick]

Damn, we suck.

[Grislygus]

Oh yeah, forgot about this.

It would be better if I hadn't done it TWO FUCKING YEARS AGO.

Does anyone else still have their segments? And by "anyone else", I mean sloth, Sacks, and BTC because we all know that glowbelly never did jack shit

[bigtimecow]

not a fucking clue where mine would be, but i actually found one the other day that i thought was from you... it was of a naked dude sitting outside i think. i'll find it and post it

[Tadao]

YAY!
