This is an idea me and sulkdodds have been talking about for a while. We basically want to send his HL2.net comic and POSSIBLY my resistance comic (that is if anyone actually likes it) along with design sketches and full comic covers, through the mail to anyone who is willing to pay for them, and ALL of the profit will go to the Tsunami disaster fund.
The comics would be laid out like any other comic- with a printed front cover and an introduction page written by sulkdodds. This would involve photocopying the comics onto A3 paper (then folding and stapling them into an A4 sized comic) and sending the comics through the post to people, with bonuses such as concept sketches and designs. I'm sure Many of you would be very interested in buying this, as it contains many references to popular faces in the forum and maybe even
yourself! Plus all of the profit would be going to charity, so if you want to help out it would be a good way to donate.
The "packs" we would send out would probally include:
The HL2.net comic written and drawn by Sulkdodds
Concept sketches by sulkdodds of characters, scenes and events
Chapter 1 of "Resistance!" (a HL2 inspired comic written and drawn by me)
Concept sketches by both of us for HL2 characters
Possibly even a "live action" version using photos and speech bubbles!
Te only trouble is payments. We have already decided that if we were to do this 100% of the profits would go to charity, but the problem is actually getting the money. I'm positive that if people were able to just hand over a few quid they would be very eager to buy this and give money to charity- but unfortunately we would have to use a PayPal system, which would put many people off. What we had in mind is if money was given to the HL2.net site (i.e. Munro or one of the supermods), and then me and Sulkdodds are informed of the donator and we can send a pack to them straight away through the post.
Just to give you an idea; £10 will feed 10 families for a week, and all the money that we raise would go towards keeping the homeless victims from falling into poverty. This is not just some random idea to give people comics- we are genuinely interested in doing are part for the tsunami disaster- and I'm sure Forum members would want to as well. We could publicly display all the members who have donated money to the disaster, so that people will feel proud that they have donated the money- and I’m sure MANY people would give more than we ask.
If you are willing to pay money over the internet to recieve the pack mentioned above, please state so in this thread. we need to know how many people are interested before we even start to arrange this. Please post any comments.. maybe you are fully capable of paying? maybe you want to pay, but don't have a paypal account or don't like the idea of using a credit card? maybe you don't like the idea of recieving my comic because it is shit in comparison with Sulkdodds? please post any comments here!
