An Illustrated Epic is a game where artists and writers semi-collaborate to create a story on the spot and improvised.
Writers form one team, and artists the other. Each artist takes his or her turn writing a single paragraph to advance the plot of the writer before him or her; however, they cannot plan before hand, once a writer submits his or her portion, the next writer must think up the next part by him or herself. Every writer will coincide with an artist who will illustrate their text, and this chain of events creates an illustrated epic.
In theory, there should be an equal amount of people on both teams, but pragmatically, people may be used twice in one round or the same person may be on both teams.
We need people for this to work! Post if you wanna join, and which team you'd prefer to be on.
Yes, just like that and the process repeats. You can be an artist and a writer, but which would you prefer if you had to be one (not saying it will have to be that way)

****... I dunno. I kind of want to write but doing the art is always fun.
"I awoke in my bed in a cold sweat, an intense nightmare had occurred to me last night. Though, now that I think about it, I can't remember any detail of it at all. I wake up and have my breakfast as I pet my dog, Tee, and put on my clothes to leave to my new job in Georgia. I pass by all the stores (and 1 stripclub) and make it to my office in Eye Corp. Being a Crime Scene Investigator, you'd think I'd be more active in finding out crimes and such, but times have been slow in the office, and I'm just stuck pretending to be busy."
Err, sorry. Didn't really explain this before.
Try not to write out several scenes in one go, the point is that each writer and illustrator play out one scene in a story in turns. Since I don't want all that to go to waste, I'll draw the last part of that scene. Sorry =X
I really can't give you an exact amount, but here's one I did a while ago for the same game that I really enjoyed doing.
My only tip is, when you're writing it out, to see if you can imagine everything you wrote in one picture, so you can have a ton of dialogue and fit it in one panel. Or you can have a large amount of imagery and elaboration to make a really nice scenery pic.

Can I be both artist and writer?
****... I dunno. I kind of want to write but doing the art is always fun.
Random.org says...
1. for writer
2. for artist
Best 2/3.
Roll 1: 1
Roll 2: 2
Roll 3: 1
I guess writer.
Assuming I can't be both.
Also, I guess we should start. The rotation as of now will go as follows
Animator --> Sketch
gilbbbr --> Cliff_Racer
r4c7 --> CG62
Animator --> Sketch
gilbbbr --> Cliff_Racer
r4c7 --> CG62
ShadowDusk --> ??? (Find a friend or we'll do rock paper scissors lol)
Rotation seems good enough to me.

I find it interesting. The thought of different art styles, that is.
