DU SEPTEMBER 2019 CHALLENGE - DU ANTHOLOGIES

With the 2019 summer crossover at an end, so ends the main Deviant Universe story line that has been running for the last 9 years. The Thunder Force have been officially disbanded, and the Dark Legion is no more. World's End marked the final DU summer crossover, as well as the last story-based monthly challenge. So where do we go from here?

As we move ahead, the focus of the Deviant Universe will be to continue making comics, but as part of the Anthology section. Members of the DU will be able to focus on a particular story they have in mind, and make comics at their own pace, either on their own or collaboratively with others. This month's challenge will give members a chance to continue their Anthology comic (if they already started one), or to start their own (if they haven't started one yet).

Members can now create two Anthology folders. One for a Solo Comic and one for a Collaborative Project. Solo Comics are for one creator who wants to write and illustrate an ongoing story line or a collection of short stories using their OC's. Collaborative Projects are going to be for two or more members that want to write and illustrate an ongoing story line that is broken up into chapters using their OC's. Read through the guidelines below, and determine which Anthology comic you would like to work on this month!

The Guidelines for this Challenge are as follows:

1) Decide whether you want to make a Solo Comic, a Collaborative Project, or both.
2) Solo Comics are for one creator who wants to write and illustrate an ongoing story line or a collection of short stories using their OC's.They will have the sole vision of their story, and will focus on their original characters. Cameos from other members OC's are allowed, but only with their permission.
3) Collaborative Projects are going to be for two or more members that want to write and illustrate an ongoing story line that is broken up into chapters using their OC's. Illustrated pages are to be divided by the creators during the story.
4) Once you know which Anthology you want to focus on, provide a cover image of your Anthology comic (if you haven't already done so). The title of the comic will need to be displayed at the top of your cover image. Cover images need to be in comic book format (vertical rectangular image, not horizontal or square).
5) To keep things fresh, the DU Anthology gallery will be for new stories, not completed stories that have already been posted previously, and are exclusive to the Deviant Universe group.
6) You will be able to add one page a day to the comic gallery after you have a cover and folder approved.
7) Members can only have TWO folders in the anthology, so choose wisely and think long term. The stories can be divided by chapters, issues, short story segments, etc.
8) Characters that appear in DU Anthology stories need to have a DU Profile. However, minor roles where a character only appears for a page or two and then never seen again (ex: not integral to the story) are allowed without a DU profile.
9) The creator must be the sole artist on the story for a Solo Comics folder. Collaborative Project stories will be illustrated by  each participating member of that comic.
10) Images must be in color and in comic book format.
11) Only characters in the DU Heroes, Villains and Support galleries can be used. No copyrighted characters allowed.
12) Place the DU Profile thumbnail or link of each character used in the description section of each page.
13) There is no deadline for Anthology Comics.
14) Note me or comment below if you have any questions.
