[A][C] Mari's Improvement Challenge [ONGOING!]
Forum-Index → Contests → User-made contests → [A][C] Mari's Improvement Challenge [ONGOING!]All of the past themes and participants will be kept here.
WHAT THIS IS ABOUT
I'm pretty sure at least some of you have participated in events like the Advent Calendar: you have to do something every day for 30 days, and if you don't miss any tasks you get a prize by the end of those 30 days.
This "contest" is basically the same idea - except art-related.
In this improvement challenge, each artist will have to produce at least one drawing a day - it can be a 15-minute sketch, a 14h drawing - as long as it's something. That is, as long it's not half-assed and completely rushed (like a stickman). There used to be a prize for everyone who completed all 30 days without fail, but nowadays I'm too busy to do it. ): So you guys will just have to settle for personal improvement.
RULES
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
If you want to participate, you MUST have a single post somewhere to gather your drawings. It can be your Journal or in this thread, it doesn't matter; the only requirement is to put every single drawing of your current challenge in that same post.
Example:
OR
If you do put everything in your Journal, please post a link in this thread.
HOW THIS IS GOING TO WORK
Every day, me or the other thread mods - I accept volunteers - will post a new theme for the day. You will then proceed to draw a picture with that theme in mind - it can be all kinds of art, you can take as long as you want, it can be coloured or black and white, it doesn't matter - as long as you've produced something that day. Some of the themes may be a little vague (for example, "Tree"). When that happens, don't worry too much about it - be CREATIVE! As long as there's even a minimal mention of the theme in the picture, your drawing is still valid (in this case, something like a Bonsai in someone's cluttered room. Idk.)
Just keep in mind:
Submissions are only allowed until RESET SERVER TIME.
There will be NO TOLERANCE. Once reset happens, if you haven't posted your drawing yet, it's not considered "on time" anymore - it'll be considered as "late" instead.
Whenever you have a drawing ready for that day, let us know somehow that you've finished it and updated your single post. You can post the image itself in the thread, you can post a link to your single post, you can PalPad me/one of the thread mods - your choice. Just let us know.
I will keep track of people and their challenges in this chart - you're the boss of your own name, though. Whenever you're done with a drawing, please update the chart.
And remember, if you cheat you're only cheating yourself, not me - besides, it's not like it really matters that much? It's just a way to keep track of your combo of days. So don't be a kid, woman/man up, and face the fact that you skipped a day or that you turned something in late. You're the one who decides what you're actually going to do for that theme and how much you want to improve. I just give you a little push with the themes.
THE PRIZE
There was a prize, but there isn't anymore. Sorry. :'D I got no time for this, or anything else in my life right now, since I'm officially a professional animator and I'll start a job soon.
If you have any doubts though, or if you want me to explain something here and there, or give hints or whatever, just lemme know. I'll be glad to help you out. ♥

I will most likely and for obvious reasons not be able to participate every day. But I still think this is a fun challenge and I'd love to be part of it. :>
