so, wir müssen uns mal um die Einreichungen kümmern. Hier Nr. 1:
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
mein Name ist Peter Klinger, ich bin Comic-Zeichner und würde Ihnen gerne mein neuestes Werk: „Die unglaublichen Abenteuer der Herren König und Baron“ vorstellen.
Anbei habe ich Ihnen eine kleine Leseprobe als auch Kurzinfos über Autor und Werk beigefügt.
Das gesamte Comic umfasst 252 Seiten (s/w, Größe A5).
Ich freue mich über Ihre Rückantwort bzw. über eine mögliche Zusammenarbeit.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Peter „Pedro ElChino“ Klinger
Die Leseprobe ist zu groß, um sie anzuhängen. Schaut also bitte in de Firmenmehl und ziehts euch mal rein.
Also seinen Lebenslauf find ich ganz witzig und interessant erzählt. Das hat mir Hoffnung auf den Comic gemacht.
Der Stil ist gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber nicht unansehnlich. Auch wenn ich an einigen Stellen Probleme hatte, zu erkennen, was dargestellt sein soll. Beim Lesen hatte ich den Eindruck, dass da mehr Potenzial drin steckt, als er rausholt. Vor allem wegen der Ansätze des trockenen Humors - hauptsächlich gegen Ende. Was mir persönlich total gegen den Strich geht, ist das Fehlen von Interpunktion.
Fazit: nette Ansätze, aber meiner Meinung nach sind 252 Seiten zu viel. Ich weiß nicht, ob da jemand die Lektüre durchhält.
Nanas Bewerbung: Finde das Konzept schön. Mit redaktioneller Betreuung wird's bestimmt 'ne runde Sache.
Peter Klingers Bewerbung: Die fehlender Interpunktion stört definitiv, aber das kann ja noch beheben. Nach dem netten Cover war ich vom Inhalt irgendwie enttäuscht (was das Grafische betrifft). So wenig Kontrast ... und manchmal undeutlich, finde ich auch.
neue EInreichung da von einer Polin, die nur auf Englisch schreibt. Hier das Konzept. Die würde allerdings nur die Story beisteuern, wir müssten uns um nen Zeichner und ne Übersetzung kümmern. Here we go:
Chapter 1:
Dorian and Basil (only he is shown) are robbing the house, when suddenly the owner is coming back. Both of them run away but the situation in the eyes of the owner and passers-by looks like Dorian is chasing Basil and not as his partner. Lightning hits them. Both were in state of clinical death, but in this chapter, the reader gets the information only for Dorian, whom the Lord of Life gives crystal and brings to the game to return to life. Dorian with enthusiasm goes towards a new adventure. Members of the team are Krista Stoner and Luis Pistone, they explain to him the rules of the game.
Chapter 2:
They are located on the first floor. Their first opponents are Beatrix, Esperance and Harun. During the fight they are talking that highlights the nature of the characters and stories of life in different cases it will be a brief flashbacks before the extinction of the soul, look at the opponent, heard the words, gestures, etc. Dorian is disgusted by the fact that he has to fight with the girl-Beatrix, Harun with Luis who reveals the truth about his "comfortable" looking for racism, and Krista harshly settles Esperance, because she is upset of pathetic and doggerem artist.
Chapter 3:
Beatrix let Dorian kill her, says that in the last moments of her presence doesn’t want to be remembered as a hypocrite, which has always been her stepmother. Dorian, Luis and Krista go through the portal to next floor. Tired after fight sit down, Dorian trying to flirt with a girl be telling about his crimes, hoping that she likes bad boys, but his enthusiasm quickly disappears by the news that a she is in Police School and appreciates honesty. After a short rest they are looking for a team to beat them and go through next floor.
Chapter 4:
Miah fights with Luis, who is almost scared her perception of love. Krista with Monique which hopes to find her lover in this dimension. However Krista is stronger physically and easily copes with killing opponents, but it hurts her that she had to kill good person. This is contrary to her character. This situation makes Dorian easier approach to her after the fight. Dorian fights with Pablo-thief (politic) who tells him that they are both the same bad, steal and profit from harm others people. Dorian angrily kills Pablo but after hearing these words from Pablo, he starts to think about his dishonest life. He promises Krista that after return he will change his life, stop stealing and become a better person. At some point he notice something , the conversation stops, smiles criftily and asks her to allow him one last time to cheat.
Chapter 5:
Krista sees that Dorian does not mean anything bad so toghether with Luis leave him for now and enter the portal. Dorian dips his hand into the floor at the Portal. Meanwhile, Krista and Luis start the fight with a group of Basil. It’s hard because there is no balance of power but in the end Dorian arrives. Basil does not want to fight him, but Dorian behaves like he has never known him, and with cold-blood murders him whispering into the ear, Basil eyes wide open in shock and in a moment become extinguished. Luis let Matt kill him because he thinks that he experiences a lot and loves kids too much for take him to fall in love, fun, friendship, happiness and wine. Krista kills without any problems Susanna.
Chapter 6:
Krista is depressed and upset, doesn’t want to look at Dorian, do not understand how he could kill a friend. Dorian tries to explain but she does not want to hear it. Reach the last floor of Lord of Life, Krista has a claim to him. They discuss about life and death, justice and the lack of it. Indicates Matt innocent child and Dorian-which is the epitome of all that is vile and still they both come back to life. Dorian nods with satisfaction on his defects and draws the main crystal which took over 2 floors from the ground, he says how he guessed about his position. Threatened that if the Lord of Life does not come back to life Basil, he will destroy all life in the universe. Dorian is blackmailing Lord of Life. This agrees to the proposal, fearing about himself.
Chapter 7:
Basil wakes up at his own funeral. Krista and Dorian promise each other that they will meet the earth for sure. Matt asks Dorian why he didn’t raised Luis, and Dorian says that everyone should decide on their own lives, and also on death. The next scene is on the earth at the end of the year. Krista and Dorian are going in each other direction, Krista smiles and runs. She throws into the arms of a man going behind Dorian, which quietly goes on.
It could seem some complecated but everything in this story makes clear when you will know characters and regulations of the game. About characters it's like everyone has a problem, he presents type of person that's why their names are in different languages. There's not important race, religion, age or nationality- just character. If you have a questions about this plan of events tell me I will explain it better. It's just outline.
That's the rules:
1)
there are created 3-persons grops
2) there are 3 floors + place where stays Lord of Life
3) on every floor group has to defeat different team to extend their time of existance in this dimension (and go to next floor)
4) the time received on every floor is at most 6 hours, if they won’t defekt enybody in this time, they die.
5) Summary it’s about 18 hours in this demension but this time doesn’t compare with time in the reality.
6) After went back to reality, they don’t remember anything what happend in different dimension
Ich fühle mich zu sehr reingeschmissen. Würde mir wünschen: - das Konzept zusammengefasst in paar wenigen Sätzen - Vorstellung Charaktere - Vorstellung Setting - Ablauf der Zusammenarbeit, grober Umfang des Werks

Habe die Zusammenfassung gelesen und komme gar nicht richtig mit. Klingt jetzt nicht so superspannend für mich. (Vor allem nach der großen Ankündigung.)
hm. also ich muss gestehen, ich hab mir das nicht durchgelesen solange wir keinen zeichner haben, der das irgendwie umsetzen möchte, ist es doch eh hinfällig, oder? o.O so wie ich die kenne, die schon für dp zeichnen haben sie genug eigene ideen. und noch nen zeichner anwerben, den man dann auch beteiligen müsste... lohnt das?
