It was one crazy ride and boy, it was FUN!
I stayed at Dex' (which was also a participant) place. First thing we did after receiving the theme was to plot out our stories. And while we're at it, we watched Spartacus along and was a ***bit*** distracted. Here are some pics:
I ran on Gatorade, bread, adrenaline and sheer willpower during those grueling 24 hours. My big mistake was to underestimate the whole thing, thinking that I can pull it off at half the time. I finished at 6am or 21 hours up the challenge, with everything done manually except for the scanning and uploading of course.
The theme for the Challenge was: "Bakit Astig ang Pinoy? (Why is the Pinoy Hardcore). I chose to have it in Filipino to adhere more to the theme. The main inspiration for this work are those "Choose your own Adventure" books I've read when I was a high schooler. I thought that doing a linear comic would be too expected so I opted to do something that the reader might enjoy.
Here's the link to my comics by the way, enjoy! Just one piece of advise: read from the first page and follow the instructions carefully: "Tsong, Astig ka ba?"
And here's the link for the event itself with all the participant's works. It would be best to click on the name of the artist on the side bar for their complete work: Philipppine 24 hour comic book Challenge
And oh, I just found out over the weekend that a number of the participant's interviews (including yours truly) were published on the Philippine Online Chronicle. Here are the links:

To all other Challengers, kudos to you all and let's give ourselves a big pat on the back!

Hindi ako ganon ka-fanatic sa comicbooks. Ang bukod tangi lang na nagustuhan kong comicstrips eh Funny Komiks at Pugad Baboy. Pero dati gustong-gusto kong magdrawing at gumawa pa ko ng comics sa mga notebooks ko. Pero hanggang dun na lang yun, natigil ko hilig ko sa pagdo-drawing nung nagcollege na ko... (sigh) namiss ko tuloy yung dati kong hobby.
Sinundan ko ang comics mo, hehehe! Astig! Bumalik tuloy yung memories ko dati nung nagdo-drawing din ako, hehehe!. Me kasunod ba yun? Hanggang page 24 lang ba sya? Anyway, goodluck dyan!
Onga nakita ko nga yung dating mga drowing mo sa FB. OK naman dude.
Haha ewan ko ba kung ano pumasok sa isip ko nung ginawa ko yung komiks na yun. Yup hanggang 24 pages lang yun kasi yun yung mechanics nung challenge: 24 pages in 24 hours. Pero gagawa pa ako ng komiks pramis!
Mabuhay tayo for making them! Wheeee!!!
Yeah! Mabuhay!
See you guys next time!
