An Idea

[Brand]

I've been considering for some time now starting up a kind of monthly community art project, something like a Monthly challenge kind of deal. Not so much a competition, but more like each month there could be some kind of guidelines, like create a piece of art utilizing a certain color pallete, make a landscape, or draw/paint/create your interpretation of a reference image.

Once again, this won't be a competition, but an environment where we can just have fun and admire eachother's work. Then we could store everyones work in the first page, kind of like a public gallery. I want to know if people would actually be interested in this kind of thing.

I'd be all for it. Sounds like a good way to practice.

Totes ma goats, sounds like fun

[Holmishire]

I'd be up for it.

Or down for it.

I could give it a shot as well, I need to improve my skills as well.

Cool. I'd like to get more people to express interest before I try to kick it off.

If any of you have friends elsewhere in the site who might be interested bring them in.

[Shurikai]

I would be interested in this. I did something similar on another site.

[MissCapnCrunch]

Very interested!

Literally no one on this site has friends.
We have no friend lists.
We are all alone.

I'd be down to do this. How much support do you need exactly? A small fraction of us who are willing to participate will likely produce, but as long as WIPs are acceptable, I suspect you should have work being shown nonetheless.

[Brand]

That's seven people right now, and I'm sure more will hop on as we go. I'm going to create the thread later tonight, but the official start date of the 'assignment' won't be until the 20th, just to give people more time to join without being too far behind.

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

Will there be a due date or a specific timeframe in which we have to work?

[Brand]

The 28th of each month. So our first challenge will be for the month of October, and not due until the 28th of October. The new challenges will be assigned on the same day. This means for the first challenge you guys will have 6 weeks to complete it, with 30 days for each subsequent challenge. I'm hoping the slow place will encourage more people to participate, and also allow people to spend more time on their works.

If the majority agrees for a faster pace, we can just bump it to a challenge every 3 weeks.

We'll also be taking turns assigning the subject / theme for the challenge.

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

The 20th of October is like over a month away though

[Brand]

Well we could make each assignment due 4 weeks after it's issue date.

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

It's up to you I suppose, I don't really care either way too much

[MissCapnCrunch]

I don't mind the dates at all- as long as it's relatively consistent.
