Monthly Activities
Hello folks!
August is almost over! You've still got a little while to post your "oldies but goodies" Make sure your entries are tagged and I'll put them together in a masterlist at the end of the Post-a-thon!
For September we're going to be doing something a little different! Between now and September 7, we want you to post your favorite line art! This can be art you've already colored before, it can be old art, it can be new art, but we want it in clean sketch or lineart form as "color me!"s a'la the really fun community hp_colorme over on Livejournal (go check it out if you have time and are still LJ-ing). At the end of the week I'll post a list of the linearts submitted and you guys will pick your favorites!
Once the community's favorite lineart is voted on, it's time to color it! September's activity will be for everyone who wants to participate to submit their own colored version of the winning picture. CG it, print it out and watercolor it, put it on a transparency and cell shade it, finger paint it - we don't care how you do it, as long as it gets shaded and/or colored - whatever you want! At the end of the month the comm will vote again! The winners (both the original artist and the colorist) will be featured artists for the month. We will create a banner/color scheme with your piece, and credit both artists fully on the profile page.
1. The lineart you submit MUST be your own.
2. You must give credit to the original artist of the lineart when you post a completed "color me." You must use their tag as well as your own and credit them in the picture's header info.
3. Large files of the lineart are a plus for colorists, but please LINK to them - we'd like moderate sized images in the actual posts
4. If you are the original artist of the submitted lineart, you ARE allowed to enter your own colored version of the image. If you do this and win, there will, obviously, only be one featured artist for the month, but we'll deal. ;)
5. Please only submit work safe images for the contest! We don't want to end up with an obscene banner.
6. You can "color" the image in monotones/black&white if you so desire, it doesn't necessarily have to have "color" - just be a finished/filled in/shaded picture.
7. By posting a sketch or lineart image as a "color me" you give your permission for other people to color it and post it here and only here, with full credit to you. - this should be a given, but I'm just covering all of the bases. ;)
We want this comm to be a place for improving your mad art skillz as well as showing off what you can do, so this activity is meant to promote cooperation and collaboration between artists. We fully encourage you to share techniques, tips, and tricks! To that end, we will also be posting a tip or "how to" of the month once we get things going.
In case this was tl;dr, to sum up: Post sketches/linearts, everyone colors most popular one, best cg/colored version wins, both artists get prize of being 'artist of the month' and credited with a new banner for the comm.
If you have any questions or suggestions, you are, as always, very welcome to share them! We'd be happy to hear from you.
Thanks!
