Story+Artist Match Up

I've caught up on all the posts here and would like to move this along.
Let's find artists for the stories presented in the other thread.

For quick reference, these stories are:
Thatguy: K-On! minus music plus manga.
Cidthulhu: Otaku Mystery.
Air Pig: Wildcat Steampunk.
Choose your own adventure
Birth
Nappa: Golden Fool
Trinton City
Perian: Robot Detective
Shojocore: Split Perspective
Lonely Man Adventures
Lukalade: Parallel Worlds
AniMOE and ManGAR: /a/ memes
Kuchinashi: Gynoid
Metoma: Seinen world gets fucked
Collective: Mecha
copy paste! fuck yeah!
All those were from the Story Election one. If you've got others to submit, lemme know.

This should be simple. Artists post a bit of artwork (nothing too complex - just enough to get the feel) relating to the story, and the author can pick who he likes.

I'll go first.

This picture's gonna get cropped. Click on it to see the shit that's to the right of the cut-off point.

finally another threat that`ll bring the project forward ^^

@skull

yeah. of course, after this we'll see if we are all just talk, or actually have the resolve to see this through. SHPIN ON!

oh, and in case any writers want to illustrate themselves, let us know. We'll lay off.

Hell yeah! Progress! I gotta start working on a name now.

Picture looks good, by the way.

Now that was a fine pun.
I'm proud of working with you.

reporting in as selfillustrator! I don`t think I would do a good job drawing someone elses story...

I'm working on a name for the first chapter of "Trinton City". Think I'll go with serious comedy as Hattori recommended.

Wish I could draw for myself. I can only at best sketch concept stuff.

that ain't bad compared to some mangas I've read (i'm looking at you, DMC)

I dunno how to ink or color though, so all my stuff is sketchy and always look unfinished.

same goes for me, although that looks great

As long as the art looks good--and you include backgrounds--I doubt readers will whine over whether or not it's been properly inked and colored. Color pages would be a rarity, and even still they're pretty easy to do in Gimp or Photoshop. Even I can color things in Gimp, and I nearly failed my old middle school art class (the teacher being a complete bitch had a lot to do with that, if you'll allow the justification)
Besides the panels and speech, Onani Master Kurosawa is done in pencil, and it looks better than a lot of stuff being churned out nowadays.

Backgrounds are a bit tough for me. Been trying to put them in lately though.
Funny thing that an important part of my story involves a room of pure whiteness.

Just making a shout-out:
I'm a photoshop-freak and can help out with backgrounds and such* (thanks to Kuchi for the link).

So we don't have to blame "THE HEART" for our lazieness.
