Return of the Exquisite Corpse

Postby dotwarner » Tue Oct 14, 2008 9:42 am

I'm not signing up to run this as a long term thing (if anyone is interested in becoming the new corpsemaster jump on in) but I agreed it's been a while since we played. I'll volunteer to run one one or two if we have enough peeps interested... So who's in? post to this thread! You don't have to be a great artist to play, though you do need creativity and a good paint program, like paint shop pro, photoshop, or Gimp (free!). PM me the email you want to use, too

What the heck is this game? How many people do I have to kill?

-Exquisite Corpse is a surrealist game, first done by artists in the 20's (see http://anexquisitecorpse.net/explanation.shtml for the paper version). We create a finished art piece by each artist adding on to the piece done before with only a tiny section of the previous piece to work from. You don't have to be a great artist to participate (though it doesn't hurt!), you just have to be fun and creative, and follow the rules.

Ooooh! Can I see the corpses that were done in the past?

Sure! http://sluggypics.cutefuzzy.net/cpg/index.php?cat=7

So, What are these rules?

-Well, here is a pictorial explanation.
Check this link out first to get an idea!


You can check out the full rules from last time in the previous thread: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3804

Oooh, excellent! It's been ages since I did one of these, and I love it! I was actually thinking I don't do any art any more, so this can be my gentle introduction back into the world of digital media.

Count me in. :)

OK, I'll start one, Alt Torg can start one. I say we be strict on 1 week max to finish your piece.
We still need at least one more and confirmation from those who expressed interest previously.

PM me the email you want to use, and you can use the "Notify me when a reply is posted" feature to see when anyone else posts to this thread.

I may be being incredibly dense here, but I can't find record of what dimensions to make my piece - can you let me know or point me in the right direction? It's been so long since I did one of these I can't remember what's standard now!

I think the clip i sent you was 600 wide and 15 tall. So add 185 pix to the bottom for a total of 200 px tall.

make sense?

If we don't get any other takers, does anyone want to do an extra piece on the one their not doing?

If you need another person, I'll throw my hat in, but I'm fairly sure that won't end well :)
