Sketch Fest preliminary wrap-up

[ellenmillion]

Wow, you guys! There are 15 minutes left before 8, but my dinner's about ready, so I'm about to sign off. That was tremendous fun and inspiration, and I am awed by the work that was produced. Pats on the back all around

On my end I'd schedule more time for myself and find a way to not be so busy! Lol!

Oh and to not have a sketch/ computer emmergency happen! Lol!

As for this event? Maybe have a mod for two other time zones so our friends in Japan, Australia, and Western Europe might join in more easily for them?

On the time zones, this has me thinking:

Maybe try a blog engine/blog-like engine that allows pre-scheduled posts? Collect all the prompts a day before, divide them into 24, then schedule 24 posts to come out on sketch fest day, so that one prompting post is "released" every hour--"Hour 1", "Hour 2", etc; and comments on the post will be the art responses.

Really wanted to take part but the time zones didn't work for me (besides other things). Maybe next time!

I really REALLY like this idea! If it is possible to find other mods to help post these topics, I would love to see this event last 24 hours to make it easier for more people to participate :D

I hope you don,t mind if I keep working on my own?

[ellenmillion]

Please do! The idea was to create some inspiration and give artistic muscles a workout - please do carry that forward and keep using the energy you got from the project to create more!

It was brilliant :D

My efforts:

Both the heart and the snail are available for sale as is ($15), as complete graphite pieces ($25) or as complete colour pieces ($40). The spring faerie will be finished and put on Portrait Adoption :)

Awesome work. I really think the snail is particularly keen. :) It's surreal enough to make people do a double take, and detailed enough to make them want to stare at it more.\\Well at least it did so for me. :)

It was fun, though over too quickly. *sigh* only got two pieces done :(

[draken_art]

Same here, though I did manage a third, but never scanned it in until later. :) I'm going to grab a few of the prompts and write them in a note book to take with me. :)

Art:
Sun Magic
Spirit Bear
Retired Warrior

I do have some suggestions for improvement, but I'm too tired to write them coherently, so tomorrow maybe.

[draken_art]

The Retired Warrior and Sun Magic were two very interesting takes on the prompts you picked up. I like them. :)

[redokapi]

Thanks! I try to keep things interesting. :)

[redokapi]

Ok, so suggestions
