Artist Needed for a Six Frame Comic Movie Adaptation!

[locustsofdeath!]

Hello my artistic compadres - Emperor brought to our collective attention the UK indie film magazine Little White Lies, which is holding a neat competition: adapt a movie to comic in six frames. I've got my script down and I just need the right artist to adapt (I'll just say it and hope no one pinches it off me) John Carpenter's The Thing.

Quoted from Emperor:
"An interesting competition which at least gives you a chance to get your work in front of a very different audience - I'm going to have a solid ponder on this one:

Quote
UK indie film magazine Little White Lies is challenging comic creator to re-imagine your favourite film as a six frame comic book story. The best mini-strips will then be featured in the next issue.

So if you're up for drawing oozing tentacles and vomiting spider-heads, please get in contact with me. Much thanks in advance!

I have become aware of this and am sorely tempted... if only I had four arms, two heads and no job!

My first idea was The Thing and I have been talking to a certain artist about it. Not sure now whether I should bin the plan I had in my head or go for it anyway and let the best man win. I had been pondering if there was a more obscure cult classic out there which might be suitable, clear The Thing isn't cult enough

Well damn Emps! Maybe we can chalk it up to 'great minds think alike'.

Or... too many fans of The Thing around here

I will be studying the template and contemplating my DVDs and seeing what comes of that.

I missed Emperor's post about this but its intriguing.....
I'll have to get my thinking cap on!

[M.I.K.]

Flippin' heck... I've just posted a comment on facebook that's an idea for a three panel version of The Thing, after reading about this on Down The Tubes.

I'm definitely going to have a go at something for this, but The Thing isn't it.

Hmmm... can anybody draw sharks?

Why, whatever movie could you be adapting...?

I have my fingers crossed for Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus.

Spinning off from this a little bit does anybody remember the little advertisment strips that used appear in comics adapting movies. They had more than 6 panels in total but this put me in  mind of them. I seem to remember that the film 'Roars' adaptation was done by Steve Dillon????

I'll do it
I like sharks ...and Things

Haha. Myself and a mate did a 6 panel Jaws last night....in about five minutes! Seems there are going to be a lot of Jaws, and The Things and Star Wars entries into this ...looks like the trick might be to go a bit more obscure....Think I might have a crack at Heathers....
