Many of you Kiwis must remember those awesome Sonichu-themed comic jam collaborations thought up and organized by the one and only @_blank_ . As they were incredibly fun and resulted in many amazing and hilarious artwork by you guys, I was wondering if you'd be game for a brand spanking new jam, this time organized by ol' ShittyRecolor!
As the first (and hopefully not only) subject of this soon to be artistic jamboree I think Sonichu episode 26: Prideful from issue 12 would be a good start, as seen here on the CWCki:
https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Sonichu_12
As the episode is 44 pages long (together with that lovely spread with Jamsta and Lolisa), we're gonna need 44 participants in total, myself included (to quote OPL: I wouldn't miss out on this action!). I'm gonna be pretty much copying the way Blank was doing thing, so once 44 of you have applied to participate I'll randomly assign a page to each of you (probably via some kinda list randomiser, like random.org), and let you know which page was chosen for you by chanec via PMs. Following this, let's say you have till December 1st to complete your page. In case you need more time or chage your mind, please let me know in in time so someone else interested can take over your page.
As for the jamming itself, I don't really have any hard rules as much as some guidelines you may or may not follow. You can choose whatever tools, artstyle or craft you like to recreate your page, may it be traditional drawing, digital, photography, clay figures, paper maché, collage, whatever floats your boat. Whether you want to make something hilarious, cool, cutesy, bombastic, subvertive or horrific, its's all up to you as long as the characters are vaguely recognisable. You can play around with the page layout, add extra dialogue\panels or sligthly change the text, but the text should generally be the same, or at least convey the same message. You also don't have to stick with the original page size as long as it's still a single page. Character designs can also be changed up to your heart's content as long as the characters are still vaguely recognisable. Again, these aren't hard rules, just recommendations, so it's not like you'll get disqualified if you, say, replace the dialogue with Lorem Ipsum or something. It might be fun to choose a theme song for your submission, though!
That's all for now, my fellow Kiwis. I'm still new to organizing this kinda stuff, so feel free to tell me in case you have any questions, recommendations, critique or catch me forgetting something crucial. I say let's see if we can get 44 participants till this Saturday, which is October 27. In case we don't have a Kiwi for each page I might have to ask for a few volunteers if they could do an extra page. Till then, have fun!
EDIT: In case you need some inspiration or just want to see some awesome art, here are the previous fan jams:

November has barely even started, but we already have a couple awesome pages, not to mention some lovely drafts and sketches. It's high time I had made a little glossary for the jam, I'll keep updating them as the pages roll in.
EDIT: Finally found a (more or less) worthy host for our glorious comic jam after Imgur's disgusting betrayal: Flickr! The links below should be working fine now, if you're interested please check if they all function correctly!
Updated pages list here.
Don't forget you can update your submission anytime in case you find something you're unhappy with.
