A creativity challenge meme
14 years ago
General
So you're having a hard time getting your creativity to work properly? Here's a nifty little challenge for you! The rules are listed below...
1) You must use the last character you drew as the main character in this exercise.
2) Illustrate a short story using nothing more than lyrics from some of your favorite songs (those of you who prefer instrumentals are shit outta luck on this one!).
3) You cannot use the entire song! One or two verses per song can be used. If the song is one of those crazy 2-in-1 deals that Paul McCartney or the Beatles did, you can use segments from the different "mini songs".
4) Include the lyrics with the image! If you're up to it, explain why you used that particular stanza for the image.
5) Include a link to the song in your description! This will allow others to hear it, and possibly find a new genre or musician they like.
6) The collection of lyrics should tell a story with a beginning, middle and end,
7) Don't be afraid to jump music genres. There's nothing wrong with using lyrics from different eras to help tell your story.
The first page of my version of this challenge is posted here:

I will post 2 pages per day during this week. The entire story will wrap up on Saturday night (barring any connectivity issues I may encounter between now and then).
If you decide to participate, be sure to link back to the artist you got the meme from. This will enable others to not only discover new music, but to also discover new artists!
Most of all, have fun with it!

Now, if you want to throw some old school Run DMC or Whodini in there, I'm all ears!
But tracks
MURDAAAAAAA
will look shitty and probably not get done, but ill start
doing this. Right now.
I was going to do something similar, but with a whole song. I was working on how to get said song into 'Pencil', an animation program, to do a cartoon to it, explaining a character's background.
Until I get back to having a computer that actually performs worth a damn, though, I may try something like your Meme here, instead. I'll also be showing this journal to a writer/artist/music buff I know.
If I somehow magically could forgo sleep and eating, I could probably get more completed. Unfortunately, I'm still human, so there's not much wiggle room available for me.
