Hey guys/girls

Now that summer vacation has officially started for me, I've decided to take control of the Fan Art board and start some competitions or something. I know in the past we've done the "Photoshop Competitions" that I started over an year ago....but they never finished, and one round would take a few weeks. In the end I got kind of bored and the thing basically died, even though Tiltyu tried taking it over.

So I'm thinking of making an encompassing competition that could cover for both the GFXers and the Artists of this board (provided that there's enough desire from the few artists here). Any suggestions at all? Should I run them like the old competitions with points granted to each winner? Any specific themes and ideas you guys want to see?

I'd be willing to do some art, but I don't know if there's enough people here.

I'd like to see this happen.

I guess I could try drawing some stuff a few times, though I'm not amazing by any means.

I'm all for it.

For the Art? Perhaps Angry, Dying or something. It'd be fun.

I'm up for it, means I'll actually have to get drawing again. B|

Photoshop I don't mind but eh, I'm not the greatest. :D

There is a light that never goes out...

You would probably get better turnout for a photoshop competition.

I got no ideas on themes or anything, though.

You could merge GFX and drawing and just have one big...art contest, I guess. People could just vote on which they like the most, or whichever represents the theme the most, or something.

I like this idea.

Yeah, some weeks you might not get any art at all - I have to be in the right mood to draw.

As for a theme, you could start with something like characters from anime? Easy enough.

Or, why not do something like the FanArt100 community on Livejournal?

They give you a list of 100 words, and you have to draw 100 pieces. One piece for each word.

So why not downsize it for here?

Pick say, five words, and give us like, a week for each word for a piece? Maybe two weeks?

Then at the end of every week, board decides a winner of that word, and points are awarded. Every week/two weeks we have a different word that we need to use for our theme.

Repeat for the other four words.

The person with the most points at the end of the five or so weeks would be the winner.

Thats just my two cents. :x

And I'd love to compete, but Im not sure if my work schedule would allow me to :x

cool story bro


I'll enter Photoshop contests, but I can't draw. :(

As for a theme, a good starter is giving a specific render that everybody is forced to use. Another is a general theme, like one time it was "real people".

I'll probably die first round but it'll be a good chance to practice. I'm for it.

I'd participate in photoshop contests, but I haven't used Photoshop in well over a year. XD

Hmm, ok, I think I'll start up our first competition tomorrow. I want them to go much faster than in the past, so hopefully people will stay on top of things.
