Tortall Comics Project

:star: This comics anthology is NOT for profit! We are making this because we love Tamora Pierce and her works! :star:

The GOALS
1) Make comics based on Tamora Pierce's novels and have fun and learn from the experience.

2) Create a relatively consistent world, with designs submitted by our members. Character designs can be submitted by any member of the group, not just Lead Character Designers.

All artists working on this project need to use the character designs submitted by our Lead Character Designers, which you can find within each series folder in our gallery (the final character designs will all be within the folders entitled "Final [Series Title] Designs"). By which we mean, physical appearances should be the same (as in, hair style and color, eye style and color, facial features*, any unique physical traits). Clothing can vary but should be inspired by the designs submitted by the LCDs, but uniforms should be styled exactly from our designs.

*Unless these facial features were in Tammy's books but not included in the character templates.


3) Take all of the entries submitted by the end of November, bind them into a book, and send a copy to Tamora Pierce!


When the time comes to "publish" the anthology, anyone who wants a copy can order one, and we will only charge what it takes to make the book, plus shipping and handling. Thank you! :D

The COMIC
1) Each entry has a ten page limit, not including a cover page (so maximum pages to be submitted per entry = 11 pages)

2) Can be in black and white or in color

3) Pages must be submitted in A4 size, following the template laid down by our publishing consultant, ~ThatDarnKat: [link] <--Please read this entry about sizes/measurements/process before asking us any questions!

4) For a list of tutorials we recommend, please visit this blog entry: [link]

I think we should have another iScribble party. It's been a while, and I keep forgetting about this project since we haven't been active in a good several months and school keeps taking up all of my attention.

Can't wait! When is this going to be published & in what order? How can one purchase a copy? I love this idea!

Hi, sorry about the delay, a couple weeks ago DA stopped notifying me about anything pertaining to groups for no apparent reason.

All that info is coming soon.

While surfing Devianart I thought, "hey why not look up Tamora Pierce and see if I get any hits..."

To my amazement, there is much fan art!

Looking forward to the the Tortal Comics!

She does deserve an artistic fan base, with the skill she puts into her characterizations. ^^

Hi Wolf, sorry about the delay. This stupid site hasn't sent me any notifications from groups for a couple weeks.

For some reason there have been communication problems, I'm going to try to sort everything out for you this weekend if I can.

Is there a principle/rule on whether we can submit our entries to other groups? This might be a silly question, but I didn't want to overstep any boundaries, haha! :tighthug:

And I'm still so excited about the anthology! SQUEE! :squee:

I know some people have been submitting their pages to, for example, #Tamora-Pierce-Fans, so I don't think it should be a problem.

And *whitelyte told me to expect to see a journal about the anthology soon. :D

Ohhh, okay then, good :D I'm going through all my groups/deviations making sure I've posted them all to the relevant groups, that's all, so I'll do that with the TCP pages too. :meow: (and thus deviantart will be bombarded with Sandry stuck in a cupboard, and it will be marvellous)

OMG REALLYS? :squee: alsknadslkndaslknads SO EXCITED!!!11ONE!

I invite everyone to check it out, even if you don't enter! I wrote poetry, and the winners get fan fiction from me :D
