>Failed Sup Forums projects
you mean all of them

The motivated people got discouraged when they realized nobody else was contributing.

EVERY
SINGLE
FUCKING
TIME!!!

>fpbp desu senpai

No bunch of anons is gonna be motivated to do something in community, moth of the retards here are social rejects that can't withstand social interaction, even less team up to brring a project up

>capeshit

I'm glad it's dead tb h

Group creative projects are impossible to make. You can't have 30 writers and artists work on something with no leadership and coordination.

So, is there a single reason why these projects never worked?
I always blamed it on how Sup Forums starts projects without any single end goal. They just throw-out ideas and hope that someone else will figure-out what to do with them. They never want to say "this will be a 26-page comic" and then stick with that goal.

But I'm thinking more and more it's the people who get upset when the project doesn't shape-up like how they wanted or get mad that their prefered ideas get rejected and then they start shitting-up threads until the people who want to work on the project get discouraged and leave.

What was the concept behind this? Because it looks like just another shitty DC/Marvel ripoff.

pretty much yeah.

Project's i've made and some inspired by my work.

there's also the failed part 3 of the 100 image animation thing we did back then

More like 30 writers and 3 artists, if they're lucky. Buncha dump-ass idea guys on this board, desu most of them you can't even call "writers."

Especially when 50% of the people involved are clearly just trying to push their fetishes.

This.

There is LITERALLY nothing wrong with shoving your fetish down people's throats.

in a way it kinda make me wish we could have a bored more dedicated to making original content. /oc/ or whatever, like a board just for shilling and spit balling ideas or something?

You talk shit about fetishes, but nothing motivates like boners.

*board

And nothing goes limp faster than a project motivated by a sex drive.

>I only became a judge because they needed a 3rd person
>say I will only help judge but it's up to the other 2 guys to make the threads and it's still their show
>spent most of my time keeping people in line, answering questions, and basically being a community manager
>come time to judge round 2 and the other guys go missing leaving me holding the ball

The sad part is that there were some really good comics made and it's a shame that it ended the way it did.

1 artist realistically. And yeah, throwing ideas is easy, actually writing, is not. And you can't have 30 people writing a script. And you can't have the artist do most of the work for no pay. So the group project either has to become a 2-3 people project or fall apart.

Do you have some of the good ones saved? You could story-time them, maybe revive the interest.

Beat me to it

>HEY GUISE! LET'S MAKE A COMIC!
>Translation: Do something while I pretend I'm helping

>But I'm thinking more and more it's the people who get upset when the project doesn't shape-up like how they wanted or get mad that their prefered ideas get rejected and then they start shitting-up threads until the people who want to work on the project get discouraged and leave
This seems accurate, it's even worse when most of these faggots' ideas boil down to "Muh waifu with the power of muh fetish"

It's all structured on leadership. If the guy running the show has no direction then everyone is going to be lost. If people think they can get by on running everything as a council of idea men then they'll never succeed.

As someone actually writing a comic, I agree. The hardest part of anything new is actually starting. When the planning and the thumbnailing and the drafts are done and over with it all just comes naturally to the person. Problem is that not many have enough of that creative drive to push them further. They'd sooner fail on their own free will than take the risk.

I feel sorry for you and LA

I think most if not all of it (even some of the stuff that was never posted on Sup Forums) is in the email I set up for it, but honestly, it feels wrong to post it. It's incomplete and it's kind of a shameful event for me since I failed to keep things going without the other 2 guys. If you ask about the Golden Apple OCT in /hyw/ you might find someone who took part and get them to show you what they did.

As for reviving interest, no. That ship sailed 2 years ago, besides I was never the leader. I only helped judge, and that's it. It would be impossible to round up all the competitors again anyway. It's dead and there's no need trying to dig it up again. Make a whole new one, maybe, but let the dead rest.

This failed because the guy in charge had a very clear idea of what he wanted (a superhero anthology book featuring stories that had nothing to do with each other), and all of his writers were a bunch of autists who wanted to create a shared multiverse or some stupid shit like that instead of just writing short and sweet unconnected superhero stories, so naturally, the project failed, and even the creator bailed eventually.

See above.

Was the lead guy the artist or that was somebody else?

Feels kinda sad that somebody's work never ended up being posted, though I imagine people would've posted it themselves if it was good.

That was someone else. They didn't have many artists because one of the writers was adamant that they didn't pay people, he thought that artists should work because of love for the craft instead of goddamn money. He also liked to act like a big shot and told people he had "contacts" with the Big Two. Yeah, real charmer that one.

What were the good comics about?

Hey, Rob. How's it been?

Oh boy...

I was apart of this. I wrote a short story featuring a revamped Duke of Darkness, one of those public domain not-Specters.

I bailed on the project when I saw that there were tons of writers and no artists and that the guy in charge didn't know what he was doing. I would ask him when we would publish what few short stories and sketches we had, what the deadline was for everything and he'd just be "Lol IDK I've never done this before".

I shot off on my own, got a handful of artists interested in my scripts, and now I write for capeworldcomics.com/

Pic related is from my upcoming revival of Stardust the Super-Wizard featuring a supporting cast of public domain superheros like American Crusader.

Basically it died because there are people who do things and people that talk about doing things and the guy that brought as all together was in the later category.

channel tans still a thing isn't?

>All his writers were a bunch of autists who wanted to create a shared multiverse or some stupid shit like that.

Well fuck you to Rob. We actually had stuff ready to print for the project.

>One of the writers was adamant they didn't pay people

I remember that guy. I told him that the best we could do with what we had was to publish it and try to kickstart/patreon the cash needed to recruit writers. But for some reason he thought that artists would just flock to our little nothing-project just on virtue of it existing.

>He also liked to act like a big shot and told people that he had "contacts" with the Big Two

When did he do this? Was this after I left?

It's more like "playing dolls"; in the lack of better description.

>But I'm thinking more and more it's the people who get upset when the project doesn't shape-up like how they wanted or get mad that their prefered ideas get rejected and then they start shitting-up threads until the people who want to work on the project get discouraged and leave
I don't get how this is possible. I mean I get "crabs in a bucket" but why would you care so much about what a bunch of losers are doing on a Hawaiian flower picking forum?

>"Muh waifu with the power of muh fetish"
>join a project as artist/writer
>boiled down to that
>no effort at all to do anything from anyone
I'm still salty

i feel it user, i drew the pankration geezer's rounds
i had round two in a .psd about done but threads kept getting deleted

real shame cause there were some real fun entrants i was looking to fight

here was my opponent's entry comic

Dude, good for you!

Anyone remember Windbreaker? The comic born of Sup Forums's fartposting days?

still going on for over a year

>The comic born of Sup Forums's fartposting days?
Wait a second, it wasn't just a character drawing but a whole comic?

Woah that's pretty

If I remember correctly, this started out fun as "Sup Forums creates a black female protagonist" and then OP got super assblasted that no one like his ideas, thereby creating a shitstorm of trolling/fapbait.

Meh. I miss the shitposts, but I've gotten shit done (nothing comic related) so whatever.

Not really, it was all scripts plus some concept art. Admittedly, I left when the guy in charge did because you guys were running around like headless chickens and a mass exodus seemed like it was on the horizon.

>When did he do this? Was this after I left?
No idea when exactly, he just liked throwing his weight around like he was the real deal. I never called him out on this back then because A) the project didn't need more drama and B) I was the resident shitposter so no one would have taken me seriously.

Anyway, looks like some of you lot got something done, so congrats I guess.

What constitutes a "success"?

Hope Corgi, and that letter to Gabby

Why?

Producing something. So basically and no one else.

It's something that literally doesn't need to go anywhere, there's no objective to reach. They can keep going for decades as long people want to draw them. Sup Forums has the their console-tans.

How much of "Something" does it need to count as "something"?
Is there a page minimum?

Neither reached full autism

Well, you were one of the few keeping some of us on track, so thanks for trying.

Glad something came out of it. Here's hoping you go far.

What does that even mean?
And the America thing started out full.

Just something. Anything. A single comic page is like an entire graphic novel compared to most co projects which terminate at character sketches.

What? All we did is send a letter jabbing at Marvel with a Room reference that went over their heads

depends on what the goal of the project is.

...

>threads kept getting deleted
Oh year I forgot that was a thing that happened. I think whatever janitor who was doing that is either gone or much more lax nowadays based on the kind of stuff that is on the board nowadays.

I remember those two well. Ryces Vs Pup was the hardest to judge and half the time judging was just talking about that match.

The Lovely Ladybug is still ongoing.

Thanks for the chuckle.

I didn't save any documents, anyone have the art/scripts from that Earth Avatar project? The one that fell apart because of bullshit airbending cyborgs and no one agreeing what kind of waifu's it should have.

well it's over now, and i'm here user

you tell me how that judging went and i'll post ryces's unseen round 2 from all those years back, if you still care about that sort of thing

cam here to post this. fuck.

That's practically the only one I can name that is ongoing. But for what it's worth, it's actually well written and the art in the last half is professional level.

It's gotta be more than that because by that logic Golden Girl is a ridiculous success. It's had several comics, including the ongoing one, a Minus 8 animation, and even a short radio play.

>make every OC about softcover porn
>be surprised when everyone loses interest after the millionth time

Has anyone considered that not everyone wants a comic where the main focus is the Protagonist's tits?

I didn't save anything, but I remember it being a hilarious example of why Sup Forums projects never work.

While I was watching that trainwreck collapse over a few months, I was also following a fanfic with the same concept that ended up lasting nearly two years, and turned out great. If you have a good idea, you can execute it on your own. Sup Forumsllaborations are a bunch of halfway-talented people trying to compensate for their own failings without realizing all their "partners" have the same flaw.

Then Golden Girl is a success and all you guys that couldn't get a project to work should feel ashamed to know that you got beat by "lol bigtits" the character.

>but why would you care so much about what a bunch of losers are doing on a Hawaiian flower picking forum?
People on Sup Forums only bother to contribute because of their own ideas. When those ideas get shot down, they have nothing else to do because they're idea guys and have zero talent, but most important, when their ideas won't make it to the final mix, they lose all interest in the project altogether and act purely on spite from then on.

Eh sure why not?
Basically we were torn between the quality of the writing for Ryces and the great comedy of Pup. For me it was like comparing Watchmen to Nextwave and saying what was the better comic. It took awhile, but we finally settled on a 2/3 vote for Ryces. I won't say who voted for who, because I kind of forgot, but I will say that we all agreed that Pup needed to be in one of the 2nd chance slots.

Also, I just remembered that I was part of ANOTHER project, back when the ending of Homesuck came out one user said that he could do better and stared to pool Sup Forums's resources to do just that. Our biggest mistake was moving from Sup Forums to discord. At some point after we mapped out a basic outline, got at least 2 artists on board, and finished a few character designs my computer crashed, I lost all the links (this was my first time using discord, so I couldn't remember the name of the site) as well as the ability to use MS word, so I lost contact with the group. It's too bad since it really did seem like it was going to be kind of good.

Now that I think about it, my involvement might be the kiss of death for Sup Forums related projects.

not Sup Forums exactly, but definitely Sup Forums related
does anyone know what exactly happened? afaik it all started with Stamper moving away to do things with NG, then I honestly have no idea

I think Corey & Ricepirate were still around towards the end, but I don't know about the others. what the fuck happened & why didn't they try to become anything bigger than they were?

I don't think I ever saw a single group animation from them, yet I've seen plenty of SleepyCasts
hell, they could've been the next Studio Yotta, practically off fame alone. they've some of the biggest names out of NG that I know of

>a Minus 8 animation

gonna need links for that, senpai.

damn, you actually held up your end of the bargain

thanks by the way

alright guess i'm hijacking the thread for a bit, but i doubt it'll hit bump limit

My spouse worked on one of these some years back

> Group has idea for cartoon pitch, creator knows people who can make a successful pitch for him

>Idea is very cal-arts but passable.

>Spouse is an artist, storyboarder, and also did some writing.

>Creator and his buddies helping to make it happen are very lackadaisical on what needs to be done, goof off a lot for online meetings, constantly miss self-imposed deadlines.

>Spouse does their share of the work, other people flake and take their share of the work for the series bible to make the pitch. Creator says he'll pay for work regardless of whether it passes or not.

> Creator's friend pushes an unfunny script for an episode and instead of having a concise pitch, he loads it with a bunch of shit that wasn't asked for and wasn't watched.

>The person who'd be the one to ultimately make the pitch thought the artwork was very nice but not remotely good enough to be worth his time to approach a studio and next time should do what he asked in the first place.

>Creator and friends argue, play the blame game.

>Group falls apart and Spouse did a shitload of art for nothing, didn't get paid, burnt out on collaborations and now does paid commissions. Didn't get paid for their work.

Which is a shame because spouse's strengths are art and comedy and it was hell seeing them go through all that work, late nights, and doing so much for nothing.

funny, i might have seen you around the time hamsteak was ending

my art hasn't even improved that much really
feels pretty bad

...

context is that dark-bearded old guy got stabbed by ANOTHER old chump in his previous round

...

>Sup Forumsco/
Honestly, it's hard to pin down the moment that they became the true cancer that they are known for. Sure you can say they were always cancer, but they weren't as bad at first. Honestly, I think the turning point was when one of them took the time to go over to the IT HURTS!!! thread just to shitpost because one person suggested using Pasqualo IT WAS ME!!! No really, I just saw what they were doing and made a suggestion like everyone else. I didn't know what that would end up leading to. since he has done Jojo poses multiple times. Either that or when 30% of the threads became page 10 bumps.

and, uh, the gloves on the big-bearded old dude stop motion

...

...

BREAST QUEST

man look at those cruddy lines and unfinished everything
pup's artist was always good on line control and color

oh shit i forgot about breast quest,

does that still get a following on /aco/?

...

oh yeah we skipped an uninked subplot involving a sex goddess and a !roman boy, in true Sup Forums fashion

i frequent /aco/ a lot but i never see the breast quest babe in like the first post of a thread, i often see more of the golden girl.

the lack of inks here were absolutely to show the ringing in our heroes' ears and their general disorientation and not because there were no threads for the tourney

>i might have seen you around the time hamsteak was ending
I get around, but only use my name when I think a name is called for or am part of something. I was also involved in the hunger games before the ban and was doing the /ctg/ Saturday morning cartoon streams for almost a year.

Anyway thanks, it is nice to read this after all this time. I guess as the only remaining judge of The Golden Apple OCT, I declare that you win by default. I forgot if we had prizes, but if we did the other guys were in charge of them, sorry.

and even the pencil just fucks off for this last page here

alright thanks for bearing with us thread, back to your usual discussion of project failures

huh

well thankye, 's a bit of a hollow victory two years later but i ain't complaining

i never got into that whole Sup Forumsco bullshit, it's like a failed ripoff of fist of the borf star, but trying to be more on point to jojo instead of being it's own thing,at least from what i saw in the threads.

Still the longest running Sup Forums anything Sup Forums has to it's name and gets fanart outside this shitty website
Deny it being a project all you want, it's more successful then the latest Sup Forums fanservice webcomic

I'd call it a Sup Forums "project" but not one that either succeeded or failed. It's kind of a thing that's just there and that's it. I can't really be successful if there is no real way for it to fail either. Publisher-tans on the other hand.....

God i hate channel tans.
i'd make a long rant about it, but i fuck it.
