[MLE]

AWESOME Thank you for putting me last - I just reorganized my desk and didn't want to re-set up my wacom just yet.

[Zhukov]

Do you guys WANT more people? I can't do digital stuff, but I can always uh, take a photo of stuff or something? I just thought it might be better with more people.

[King Hadas]

YES we want more people. We don't have any restrictions on the art form you use; I don't know how you'd work off the last image with a photograph but I am sure you have something in mind. So do you want to participate?

[Zhukov]

Eh, I guess. I mean, what's the worst that can happen? I screw up and everyone hates me for it? That's not too bad.

I suppose what I would do is paint something on a canvas as best a continuation of the previous image as I could, take a digital photo and then blend it in proper using MS paint skills.

So we send the image to you when it's done, is there a time frame?

Looking over the stuff you've done before is daunting. I am rubbish!

[King Hadas]

We're all just dicking around here so I'm not going to bother with formal deadlines. I can be patient, unless someone takes too long without any response or someone else complains.

I'll just sign you up Zhukov and if you decide you don't want to do this you can just cancel.

[Dr. Boogie]

I'll join in, if you'll have me. As anyone who's seen the Dock Mock show can tell you, I am one of the great masters of MSpaint.

[MLE]

:> :> :>

[Aaarg]

sorry sorry sorry haven't been paying too much attention to the internet lately

will do!

:fuckup

[Dr. Boogie]

Aarg, please tell me you finished your part and sent it off. I'm going to be very put off if it turns out that people are putting in more than a week's worth of work on their portions.

[Dr. Boogie]

Alright, it's been two weeks since that last post. Have things been moving along without anyone saying anything, or has Aaarg dropped the ball?

If the latter, I suggest we skip him and give Nick the first slot.

Assuming anyone still cares enough to keep going with this thing...

[Grislygus]

The last exquisite corpse was destroyed by people sucking, THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. Time for last-minute pinch hitting; I want in as the last person, and vote that Boogie gets the go-ahead.


Did everyone get mailed pieces like with the botched EC, or is this all digital?

[Grislygus]

And I'm SERIOUS about wanting to be the last person. Finishing your section and then having the people after you fuck up the whole thing is irritating

[King Hadas]

You're in Grislygus. This thing is being done digitally by the way, like the first two we did.

If the latter, I suggest we skip him and give Nick the first slot.
I'm reluctant to give Aaarg the boot since he might have already started work on his segment. I'll send him an E-mail or something today.

[Dr. Boogie]

But it's been weeks. I don't claim to understand the art world, but if he can't turn out a simple piece for a message board activity like this in a nearly a month, I don't think an extra day is going to help.

I wouldn't have even minded that much if he come back a week after his last post with another excuse because at least then we'd know he's thinking about it.

[King Hadas]

Like I said I'll try to get in touch with him, if I can't do so in a timely manner then I'll move him down the list. The thing is, even if I do skip him when was the last time anyone saw Nick around here? I probably shouldn't have put the two people I never see up first.

[Grislygus]

Ha. Seeing them around a lot at the time is no guarantee. Remember glowbelly's surly performance (or lack thereof)? Followed by a shockingly unprecedented level of bitchiness?

[Dr. Boogie]

The thing is, even if I do skip him when was the last time anyone saw Nick around here?

He posted just today. I sent him a PM to let him know that we might go ahead and do him first, depending on how things turned out.

[King Hadas]

That's good, I've been worrying about that.

I sent Aaarg an email. If we don't hear back from him by Tuesday then I'll move him down the list.

[Zhukov]

I thought it had already gone ahead a few people and that you guys must be passing the baton in silence. :lol

[King Hadas]

Aaarg responded already.

Oh balls, I'm sorry. I never remember things. Yeah, stick me under a few other people and then apologize to everybody. I don't have much alone time these days and it's all filled with self-loathing!

Sorry sorry. Fuck.

Geez Aaarg, maybe you should be apologizing to us instead of your balls.

[Nick]

Oh, crap. I didn't even know you guys had set this up at all. I thought we were still discussing it. I haven't been able to get online a lot lately. Would anyone else mind going ahead of me? SO MUCH PRESSURE!

[King Hadas]

Okay, I've moved you. Now we just got to hope this next fuck doesn't take his time.

[Dr. Boogie]

Did anyone tell MLE that she was next in line for the new order?

[King Hadas]

I still have to do mine so there's no rush.

[MLE]

I've been checking in, and I have no hint to go off of, so I can't start yet.

[King Hadas]

I promise I'll have my piece finished by Wednesday.

[MLE]

No rush :>

[King Hadas]

Done! Man, if I was gonna go first anyways then I really need not of bothered with this mysterious stranger setup.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v444/foxamess/Untitled.png

So I guess it's MLE's turn.

MLEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

[MLE]

I'll get on it ASAP. I have some extra responsibilities at the moment, since my cousin was just in a car accident. Not only are they a car less now, but they're set to move soon. I'll work this in as soon as I can <3 <3

[MLE]

Sorry, I've been too busy having my eardrum torn and a high likelihood of losing my hearing in my right ear. I'll see if I can do this later today. I go to my specialist tomorrow.

[King Hadas]

You thought this was dead? You were wrong! MLE has finished her piece.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v444/foxamess/mleEQ04seg.jpg

It's your turn now Zhukov.

ZHUKOV, IT'S YOUR TURN
ZHUKOV.

[Zhukov]

Oh sweet.

[Dr. Boogie]

Hey.

[King Hadas]

Don't worry bro, I sent Zhukov a strongly worded PM a few days ago. He said he'd finish his piece soon.

[Nick]

Oh boy oh boy

[Zhukov]

I took ages, sorry guys. :\

It was a nightmare.

[King Hadas]

Did you draw this at a 616 pixel width? Or did Photobucket resize your image? Because they'll do that if your image is too large and you're not a premium member. Either way I resized it to the proper dimensions but it might not be as crisp as you originally intended so if Photobucket did resize it you might want to send me the original.

This is the current score.

It's your turn Nick. Try not to embarrass yourself because this shit is permanent.
NICK! THIS IS YOUR CHANCE!
NICK!

[Nick]

My part is finished and turned in.

[King Hadas]

Good one Nick. We are almost finished here guys, more than half way through!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v444/foxamess/Nickcropped.jpg

PAGING DR. BOOGIE
YOUR WANTED IN THE E.Q.

[Zhukov]

What sort of amazing talent do you posses that made you finish that quick? Holy crap; well done.

[Nick]

I got fed up with working in a factory so I had nothing else to do today other then sit here and make my part.

[King Hadas]

Does this look like one unbroken image to everyone?

Cause if it does then I won't have to manually connect all of the submissions, I can just stack them on top of each other like so.

[Grislygus]

looks fine

[Fathom Zero]

I wanna participate next time.

[King Hadas]

You can participate this time if you want.

[Fathom Zero]

I find that prospect terrifying.

[MLE]

Tack yourself on to the end!

[Fathom Zero]

I DUN WANNA. I'll hop on the next one, I promissssss.

[MLE]

Oh come ON ;< This is one of them that's actually working! It's not wise to assume the next one won't die.

Also, if you need to back out, it's not like it changes the project much. Go ahead and write yourself in and take yourself out of need be. I think you can do it, though!

[King Hadas]

Well, if you decide you do want to do this just say so but remember you only have until Aaarg finishes his segment because Grislygus gets the last slot.

[Fathom Zero]

Please, I haven't the materials and I'm going on a vacation in a short while. Really, it's not a good idea.

[MLE]

SIGH. don't you have photoshop and a digital camera? Glow's made hers using photography before.

[Fathom Zero]

I don't have any of that at the moment. :sadfacewithatear

[MLE]

;_;

[Nick]

mspaint. Get at it.

[Dr. Boogie]

Sent.


Use MSPaint, FZ. I did.

Also, results, not excuses.

[King Hadas]

Where did you send it because my PM box is empty.

[Dr. Boogie]

To your Yahoo account.

And now to your PM as well.

[King Hadas]

My bad, I don't use that yahoo account anymore, I actually did check my current one before posting. Anyways, good show.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v444/foxamess/DrBoogieCrop.jpg
This is your last chance Fathom. Sign up now or regret it forever.

AAARG!!!!!
It's your turn once again

[King Hadas]

Also I've sent Aaarg an E-mail. If I don't hear back from him by next week then he's out.

[Fathom Zero]

WTF I NEVER AGREED TO THIS SHIT.

[Aaarg]

i just submitted something so NOW'S YOUR CHANSE DFATHOM?ZERO!!!

[King Hadas]

Well that was your last chance Fathom sign up is officially closed. I hope you don't rue this later, that would be terrible.

Good work Aaarg, and fast too. I really wish I'd contacted you sooner when we started this.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v444/foxamess/AaargCrop.jpg

GIANT LETTERS?!
GRISLYGUS!

[Zhukov]

Hey Aarg, long time no see.

[Aaarg]

hiyaz!

[Grislygus]

awright, got it. Still @ work, will get finished @ one am or so. will get on this as soon as i get home

[Zhukov]

Fuck you arseholes for being so quick :lol

[Grislygus]

Done. pm sent. Let's see it

[King Hadas]

Photobucket resized Grislygus' image so I have to wait until he sends it through emails. Once I have it I'll immediately put together and put up the EQ.

Not to toot my and the participants' collective horns but I believe this EQ is way better than any of the others we've done so far. And if I ever throw one of these together again I've learned a few lessons that should be of use.

[Grislygus]

email sent

[King Hadas]

And it is at last finished.

The completed image is located at the beginning of the thread.

This is a beautiful thing we have done together.

[All Hail Duke]

looks good

[King Hadas]

I'm having a little trouble, the EQ I have up is fuzzy. Putting it together and saving it as a jpeg in MsPaint did that. I redid it and resaved it as a 24-bit BMP which fixed my problem but now Deviant Art won't recognize the file and I can't upload it. I'm not sure what to do here.

[King Hadas]

It only drastically effects Grislygus' piece though and I've fixed that by hosting his image by itself so I guess this isn't an urgent matter.

Good work everybody!

[Aaarg]

sweeeeeeet

also, png!

[MLE]

yeah, png is the way to go for that sort of stuff

[King Hadas]

Alright, fixed.

[Zhukov]

Well I like it.

[MLE]

I like it too :D I wish I was still allowed to go last like was intended with this one :/ Life got in the way, and I knew it would. Let me go last or second to last next time, kay?

[Nick]

Fantastic. Lets start a new one.

[Zhukov]

I'd like to go again, and this time I will be quicker.

[Grislygus]

I'd be up for another. Second to last, if MLE is finishing up.

[King Hadas]

How serious are you guys? Cause I could throw another one of these together. I'd like at least one more person participating though.

I don't know how everyone else felt about starting with that Van Gogh painting but I'd probably do something similar with this EQ. I think it's important that everyone participating is continuing off of someone else's work. I'm not an art enthusiast though and I grabbed that Van Gogh at random so this time I'd appreciate some art suggestions to start with (PM those please).

[Grislygus]

I haven't dropped the ball on one yet. However, I won't be available to work on it until after this next week

[Fathom Zero]

I won't be able to do it proper until Autumn when I have access to my equipment.

[MLE]

I'm starting a new job June 1st, so I'll be tired from lots of driving for about 4 weeks after that.

[Zhukov]

I've got some fantastical excuse that I pulled out of my arse till next month, so I wont be able to do it.


Not really, I'm always free.

[King Hadas]

I guess if we had to we could do one with just four. Gotta make sure Nick is on board, then we'll go ahead.

Since MLE won't be participating Grislygus will be last then?

[Grislygus]

fine by me. Somebody just give me something to CONTINUE though, please; just give me at least one vertical shape

[King Hadas]

Aaarg actually commented on that, asking me if he should tweak the bottom of his segment so it'd have more variation. I told him it was fine because people loved the freedom no variance gave them. Whoops :lol

The way your's continues off of Aaarg's is the best in my opinion so it worked out alright.

[Nick]

I'm good to go on another one as long as I'm in the middle somewhere.

[Aaarg]

fine by me. Somebody just give me something to CONTINUE though, please; just give me at least one vertical shape

whoops!

yeah, i didn't even think about it until i finished.

sorryz.

[bigtimecow]

haha nice! glad to see these projects are still going
