Think Out! #001
Note that everything is tentative now and subject to changes in the future! Suggestions welcome for Topics, Rules, and even the name for this thing… Voice your opinions. =)
The Think Out! FAQ:
1) What’s this thingy?
- It’s kind of like an event here whereby everyone can joins in and draw together. More like a casual art battle, not a contest nor competition. It has neither judges nor winners. Think Out! is the suggested name by leeyeung and I think it’s kind of cool.
2) How does it work?
- Every 2 weeks (tentative) I will post a new topic. Everyone post a doodle or something to see what each of us can come out creatively. Then everyone can share, view and comment on others’ works. All forms of style accepted!
3) What can I get from doing this?
- Fun and pleasure. Comments and crits for your work (that is if you want). Getting your right brain to get some creative juice flowing. Or, simply something to get your ass off and draw!
4) Who’s participating?
- You. Yea YOU, the one reading this. No, there’s no one behind you, stop turning. XD
5) Who’s in charge here?
- Me of coz…T_T I’ll be posting the topics and other related stuffs here, as well as control flamers, etc etc. I will however be open to all form of suggestions, so you does have a say. This thing will never work out if not for the participation of everyone! It’s the people who makes the kingdom, not the king.
6) Rules and regulations?
- Every member of Arthletes can join. Each member can submit up to 2,874 submissions per topic (get my point?). Everyone can comment on others submission, unless the artist states otherwise. No flaming, any flamer will be dealt with forcing 18 lizards down his/her throat.
7) Is there a deadline?
- Yes, I’ll set the deadline 2 weeks after I announce the topic. Why is there a deadline? Becoz I know if there isn’t, you guys will spend forever doing it… and in the end not doing it altogether. However, you can still post after the deadline, but please try to meet it so it does not stack.
8) Etiquette?
- This is a fun event. Try to be nice and encouraging. =)
9) Anything to add?
- Start drawing!!! Go go go!!!!!!!!
Think Out! #001 topic will be… Penguin’s Solution to Flight! Freaking easy topic to start off with. Deadline is 7th July 08, before the 3 enlist into NS. Don’t wait til the last minute, can post anytime!
art battle thingy
I don’t really know what to call it. It’s neither a contest nor competiton. I does not have judges nor winners nor prizes.
Anyway me and lee yeung was thinking something like ‘we post a topic and everyone joins in and draw and have fun’, or called WPATAEJIADAHF for short….. Ok nvm that.
In whichever way it’s to encourage constant artistic interaction on this website and keeps individuals creative juice flowing. The purpose is just to have fun, seriously. No excuses like “too troublesome to post” or “I have no time for things liddat”or “mine probably suck anyway” etc.
How things go is that we’ll come up with a topic and everyone post a doodle or something to see what each of us can come out creatively. =D
Did I say doodle? Yes! To make sure that this art thingy is about CONCEPT rather than execution, we’re to only post something that can be done in under a day! It’s also to be fair for those who claims his/her drawing sucks, like myself. But of coz, sloppiness can be avoided wherever possible. I mean, at least put some sincerity into it. =)
What’s the ’topic’ then? Lee yeung came out with ‘Waiting’…. which totally fails. lol. I’m going for something that can be visualized… an IMAGERY. Example, ’snowboarding gorilla throwing bananas’, ‘wild boar gone berserk’, ‘trees that grows poisonous fruit’, ‘mecha kangaroo with guns’, ’steampunk robot eating rabbits’… you get my point.
Best still, becoz I’m going for concept, I can make a topic that YOU are the one telling me the answer. Example is “the pirate’s nightmare”. Which sea creature do you think the seamen fear most? Or… “rabbits’ last defense against the wolves”? Or… “penguin’s solution to flight”? ^_^
So at the end of the day it’s not about who can draw better, but who has a better idea. Think we can have fun exploring these stuffs. I mean we need both technical and idea-generating trainings mah.
Suggestions welcome! =D
