About / F.A.Q.
What is this?
The Merlin Telephone Art Game (TAG) is an online collaborative art game. The concept is similar to the famous verbal telephone game. Only for this challenge artists will successively recreate an artwork featuring characters from BBC Merlin.
You can find examples of Telephone Art Games
here or
here.
Thank you to the
TFC Telephone Game for allowing us to run our own version of the game.
How does this work exactly?
• When an artist finishes their drawing, they will send it to merlinartfest@gmail.com as a png file with a transparent background.
• We will then ask the next artist on the list whether they are available to draw their piece in the next two weeks. If not, we will switch them with the person following them, and go down the list until we find someone available, to whom we will send the most recent artwork.
• If after receiving the previous artist’s work, you later find out that you won’t be able to finish your work within your two week timeframe, please inform us so we can switch you with someone else further down the list!
Does it have to be colored?
We only ask you to send in something you consider as a finished piece. It doesn’t have to be colored if that isn't your preferred style.
How can I join?
Signups will open soon! Watch the community for more information!
How many people can participate?
This is typically the kind of game where it gets crazier and funnier with more people, and this is exactly what we want so… Please tell your friends so we can have as many artists as possible
What if I have to drop out?
We hope this won't be the case, but of course we understand that sometimes it can't be avoided. If you feel you can't complete the challenge, please just shoot us a message asap!
Where and when will the art be available to see?
When every artist on the list has sent in their work, we will compile them and post the results to the community.
Can I post my picture on my own blog?
As soon as the compilation for your chain has been posted, you can post your artwork on your own space!
However, we will ask you to refrain from posting your work (any kind of preview included) anywhere before the chain is complete. Part of the fun is to keep the whole chain secret until the end!
I still have questions!
Send any other questions you have to merlinartfest@gmail.com !
