Would anybody be interested in working on a children's book?
 
Actually, it's more a pseudo-children's book, but that's not the point. I was wondering if anyone would like to have a hand in illustrating it. It's not done yet, but I've got a number of pages penned.

by psuedo-children's book do you mean a non-children's book story but with children's book imagery?

Grislygus May 8th, 2008 12:39 AM

If you finish the thing, send me a copy. Not guaranteeing I could do what you'd be looking for, though

Or vice-versa? :eyebrows

Pretty much, pictures covering the entire page with a few lines of story towards the bottom.

Sacks May 8th, 2008 09:19 AM

Send it to me too. I've been wanting to do something like that for a while.

No offense to Grislygus, for whose art I have utmost respect, but I don't think this is his schtick. His pictures are generally kind of...scary, so unless their parents are looking to traumatize the children, I don't think anyone would want their kids to read it.

Sacks May 8th, 2008 11:47 AM

...And that's when Sacks and Grislygus teamed up and made the most enchanting story book ever created.

Tadao May 8th, 2008 01:59 PM

Jeez Fat Hippo, are you calling Gus a one trick whore?

Misdemonar May 8th, 2008 06:26 PM

nobody cares about fat hippo

Fathom Zero May 8th, 2008 09:39 PM

I don't think parents will want their children to read this as it is.

Fat_Hippo May 10th, 2008 07:00 PM

I've looked at quite a few of his pictures here in the art forum, and all of them have employed a very similar style that pretty much has to set a dark tone, and since these types of pictures are the only ones of his I've seen, I kinda thought it was his specialty. Might be that he's got great art in other styles, but I just haven't seen it.

Of course, Fathom, if this isn't really a children's children's book, I doubt it matters wether the artwork is child-friendly or not. Could even add a kind of twisted humor to it. Hell, an entirely black and white children's book with a mix of Sacks' And Grislygus' artwork along with messed up story and text could actually kick a hell of a lot of ass!

I'M GLAD YOU GOT THE POINT SO LATE IN THE GAME

liquidstatik May 11th, 2008 01:53 PM

HOW ABOUT YOU LEAT US READ SOME OF THIS STORY, HUH?

Tadao May 11th, 2008 03:15 PM

He said children's book, not child porn.

liquidstatik May 11th, 2008 04:14 PM

I've got a pretty simple, colorful, downsy style. If you're okay with a children's book style from someone of ill repute, I'll try to be around.

Fathom Zero May 11th, 2008 11:17 PM

I could try pages from different artists, but keeping the same sort of character, i.e. this guy has a brown shirt, or this girl has a brown car, etc.

Seriously, anyone could join up. But, keep in mind, I'm still working on it and I'm a procrastinator.

That was funnier before you edited it, Missy. >:

The only thing you should have changed it to was her being black.

Fathom Zero May 14th, 2008 07:21 PM

I'm sending it shortly. It isn't done, but it's a complete story. I just have to finish transcribing it from my notebook.

Grislygus May 16th, 2008 01:35 PM

Hahaha that's awesome

Not sure who the fuck would publish it though, some people would definitely get the wrong idea
