Draw your Friends! IX

MUSIC
(Mystic Chords Optional)

Welcome to a new iteration of the Draw your Friends game/competition, the game/competition were you draw for a friend.

I'm one of your hosts, araveugnitsuga, you may call me Pink-Haired August.
Our other host, and founder of this game/competition is none other than The Grandmaster of Friendly Administration, Fin.

Info
The Guidelines

The game starts when we reach the 12 volunteers.
You may join by posting your desire to do so in the current thread.
If you participated in the last iteration you must repost in the running thread, posting on a thread that has undergone will not count.
You will be assigned a fellow volunteer to draw for through a PM by your respective host.
You have 7 days (168 hours from the moment a host posts that all PM's have been sent) to draw it.
You may draw in any style you wish.
The idea is to draw something related to your assigned playgrounder.
Any format is welcomed, from avatar to a giant watercolor image.
When you are finished you PM it to your assigned host.
Don't post the image here.

Extensions are permissible if you PM a host asking for it and a reasonable extended time-frame.
We'd much rather have an extension than late turn ins.


Themes
They are announced in the thread after the start of the competition.
They are sent again through a PM along with your assignment.
They are selected by both of your hosts, but suggestions are accepted.
They are entirely optional

The Workings

There are two phases.
On the "First Phase" you are assigned a fellow volunteer to draw.
The second phase is entirely optional.
On the "Second Phase" a host reveals all the images.
You may guess on who draw it and by whom it was drawn.
After two days such information will be revealed.


The Wishlist

You can only enter The Wishlist if you didn't participate in the previous round and the contest already has started.
If you enter the Wishlist you are automatically included on the next round.

Look at the last edit date, your entry was foreseen.

[Mr_Saturn]

Actually, I noted that before... and wondered why it was edited 33 minutes before my post...

Do you have a theme in mind araveugnitsuga?

You are a very predictable man Mr_Saturn.
I was thinking Music for this round, the alternative was On Foreign Lands.

[smuchmuch]

It occurs to me I've ben in a lot of those, maybe I should take a break and seat one out for a change.

On the olther hand.. I've still have somme ideas left, so in, I think.

[Mr_Saturn]

This is the reason I'm still on the forums, you better keep this going forever Pinky. :smallwink:

Oh that, and TK's webcomic, Bibliography and the Starcraft 2 thread.

[Elder Tsofu]

Lets see if it works better this time around:

Why thank you! I'nn so happy to hear that.

(That one was pretty bad, but hope you got it. Supposed to look like an M. Also August fix the first post, it still says that there's no more room with only seven people signed up.)

[Elder Tsofu]

Heh, the bolding made it a bit harder to see - but I think it was quite clever. :-P

And our host don't want dumb people to join. Only the brave, who tries anyway; and thoughtful, who see the discrepancy between the number of signees and the list of actual names.

[Derjuin]

Ooh, can I join again? Pweeeeeeeeaaaaaaaase???????

[Akrim.elf]

Im missing?
or not?
hm... if is still place, take me!

[Zefir]

Here take me again^^

[GrlumpTheElder]

Ok, I'll take part again.

Im In ur contest, drawing ur friends

What do you mean?
It was correct when Teutonic asked nicely.

[Azuyomi244]

I'll be in again :smallbiggrin:

[Elder Tsofu]

What do you mean?
It was correct when Teutonic asked nicely.

Hm, you can read quite a few things into that line - but we'll narrow it down.

Was it correct of TK that he asked nicely for you to change the first post?
Was the first post already correct when TK asked you nicely?
Both?

The first one.

Also, PMs will be sent soon.

[Elder Tsofu]

Excellent, then I can answer more correctly.

I didn't intend to question what TK said, rather I agreed with his conclusion and proposed solution for the problem. I just expressed it, as I have an tendency to do, by defending the one who "erred" (you) and offering an non-serious explanation on what could be your hidden motives behind the action TK were questioning.

@VV I'll just say that's a more or less correct interpretation and leave it at that. :-)

[GrlumpTheElder]

Wow, that was quick sign up...

I believed that he just copied the content from the previous thread, in which there was already 12/12 listed at the bottom. He only changed the VIII to IX because he saw it at the top of the post.

In response to Tsofu's post after mine, it looked like he only wanted the people who REALLY wanted to sign up, to sign up. The people who would post and ask anyway, even if they saw 12/12. The one's Tsofu called the "brave". I guess I was the "thoughtful".

[AsteriskAmp]

PMs have been sent.


Our theme this round is:


MUSIC
(Mystic Chords Optional)

From it's humble tribal beginning, going through the invention of notation with D' Arezzo, through Mozart's Concerts at the court, and Beethoven's deafness on board, the Baroque, the classical, the romantic all allong Scribian's insanity, the birth of Jazz and Charleston, and ragtime and beebop, to the new structure of rock and pop coupled in with Metal and Funk, never forgetting polka or videogame songs. A finely tuned Shamisen, a piano banging downstairs and an orchestra ready to play, with musicals all along Broadway. This round theme's seems broad enough.

The Due Date is:

June 13, 2011, 12:01 p.m. GMT 0

Also, tried to prevent repetitions seeing as what I previously didn't notice had already happened, hopefully everyone hasn't drawn their recipient before.

[Zefir]

The theme is pretty wide and think everyone will find something for it^^.

[GrlumpTheElder]

Ooh hoo, an idea already!

[Mr_Saturn]

Okay, I think I'm done. :smalltongue: I have something to fall back on if my work week gets really busy and I don't have time to make something else.

[Elder Tsofu]

*DINGADINGADINGA*


Ahem, I just wanted to announce that
there is now less than 12 hours left to deeeadline!!!

Get that coffee boiling and your mice sharpened, because now it is for real!

:smalltongue:

[Derjuin]

Aieeeeeeee...phew. We're still sending our entries to Pink-Haired August right? Just making sure it went to the right person.

:smalltongue:

Nope. There's still around 23 hours left. But yes, it would be much thanked for people to send it in.

[Elder Tsofu]

Well, I thought that it would be worth it if I at least managed to fool one... so Success! :smallbiggrin:

[GrlumpTheElder]

Actually, that's a good question, if you receive all the entries before the due date, will you reveal early or wait until said date?

[AsteriskAmp]

Actually, that's a good question, if you receive all the entries before the due date, will you reveal early or wait until said date?

Following Fin's intentions in the first round, yes, The Announcement and The Reveal are done before.

[Qaera]

Can't wait to see the Announcement!

[Zefir]

I don't think I manage it today cause I have to visit a friend. it's 17:18 here so I think I will be ready tomorrow near 12 at latest . If my Inkskape don't breake again....

[Akrim.elf]

I don't think I manage it today cause I have to visit a friend. it's 17:18 here so I think I will be ready tomorrow near 12 at latest . If my Inkskape don't breake again....

you still have MS Paint :)

[Zefir]

But I don't draw there. Still the meeting has been canceled I missread the date it was yesterday where we should have met....

Either way I finished my workand I'm not peased with it. I should start earilier and make several plans

[Mr_Saturn]

Is it possible that following incarnations of DYF can have restrictions on the mode that we draw? Like for one round everyone has to hand-draw their submissions, use MS paint, or draw with your eyes closed?

...

I realize there are only so many other ways a person can draw... probably a bad idea. And this is not to discriminate against people who already use paint, or do everything by had (or tablet.). But it could work out for a single round I suppose.

[Teutonic Knight]

Forgets, remembers; creates, submits.

The issue with this is that not many are proficient with more than one form of art and the objective of the game is to use the one you feel would better suit the modality. It would be kinda uncomfortable since anything beyond inkscape requires materials not everyone has.

It's not a bad idea, just not one particularly applicable given the circumstances here.

[Szilard]

I was unexpectedly dragged to a party, but I think I got mine in on time. Yay. :smalltongue:

Thanks to everyone for sending it in early!

[Elder Tsofu]

Hehe, nice. :smallbiggrin:
For some reason I think Ill have no problem guessing for whom each is intended this time.

[Teutonic Knight]

Ha ha, the iPod silhouette was clever.

And Tsofu, again with your 3 dimensional avatars. Too good. Thanks for showing me how to draw pleated skirts properly now. :smalltongue:

[Zefir]

I really like this pick.

But does anyone have the same feeling that most of the time the pics don't hit the theme. No offer but I can't see Music there unless it's a reference I don't know.

[GrlumpTheElder]

Good mix, I'll let someone else guess first this time

I admit to nothing, I've got to defend my guessing-champion position you know. :smalltongue:
But you do get some training on those skirts when you draw a lot of Japanese schoolgirls.

... that came out wrong. -.-

Whatever, you've got a nice schwung on the hat there - I might borrow that. :smalltongue:

Nope, I suspect you're sarcastic or something since I think every picture except the one for you hit the theme nicely. Your is just awesome though so I would personally not complain. :smallwink:

[Qaera]

Zefir's is obviously about the piezoelectric effect of crystals.

[Zefir]

I don't want to say this picture isn't awsome, but I can't see the theme in there . I just bring it up no offer the drawer.

I was so tempted to look at Tsofu's list before making this. Then for some reason I had this idea that AThousandWords was participating this round. :smalltongue:

No you missunderstand it's really awsome and I got alot of them. The thing is just I note that most people don't get the theme in the pics for me or I don't see it and maybe it's my fault cause of the avatar I use.

[GrlumpTheElder]

By process of elimination - nice easy round this time (I think...)

The Nude Orangutang

Ey, he's got a tie and a collar - that's even more than Donkey Kong! :smalltongue:
Shouldn't you know that?

...most people don't get the theme in the pics for me...

Aha! You're just talking about the avatars you've received, not all avatars made through the DYF threads. Now I understand the complaint better.

[Qaera]

If this becomes a running gag it will be really confusing when I participate. :smallcool:

[Teutonic Knight]

Playing the flute (backwards)

Is it really backwards? Some people play instruments differently depending on whether they are right or left-handed. Does the same apply for the flute. Or does it look that way because his head is turned to his left instead of his right?

[GrlumpTheElder]

Is it really backwards? Some people play instruments differently depending on whether they are right or left-handed. Does the same apply for the flute. Or does it look that way because his head is turned to his left instead of his right?

I've never come across them. Thing with the flute, though, is that both hands are used to press the keys, unlike a guitar where one hand strums and the other just presses the strings on the kneck. I'm also assuming that like violins, they are not produced as in an orchestra, they want the instruments to face the same way.

However, I have seen a guy play a flute backward, and that was pretty awesome!

This is correct, no sane flautist would switch the direction mainly because you destroy the orchestra's positioning. Also, there is no left handed flute in the market. Finally, it's as easy to lefties as it is to right handed people (different from piano where lefties have an advantage at later stages but have a very rough beginning). HOWEVER, the case has happened were the soloist plays a left handed flute, it's EXTREMELY rare, but it's possible for it to happen, it however has to be tailor made since no major flute seller will produce one.

[Elder Tsofu]

I'm glad I didn't draw anything complicated as a flute.

Is it just me, or does Mr. Saturn look like he's got a steak (the drum) tied to his back?

Discourse
First of all kudos to GrlumpTheElder for guessing all right. Congratulations! Chances are there will be trophies...

Next, congratulations to everyone, everyone turned them in on time, in fact, before time, which is great. All works were top-notch and rather great. This is in fact one of the hardest round for me to pick favourites from. I found two takes in particular rather "noteworthy" however and it bears mention: Kasanip's take on Zefir was spectacular, I believe the Glowing effects and the reflection on the little chest crystal were the highlights of it (also, AThousandWords justification of it being in theme is also of note and praise), the other take is Mr_Saturn iDerjuin, the execution is great and it strangely enough fits rather well with the MSPA style (IMHO). But all entries were great all around, it's just that those two were the ones that were specially distinctive.

I believe the theme equilibrium has finally been fined tuned and as far as I see the mechanic works rather well. This theme was one I was rather excited about (sadly I didn't have a lot of free time this round) [if someone tries to cross check the chord in my image you'll find I've also included the subtitles of the theme] and all the entries are rather great portraying the different drawees in relation to the theme (or the physics thereof).

As for me, I love the way Tsofu portrayed Ribonis, I have a special liking of his cartoonish style and the 3D-esque perspective does add up a lot. The skirt fold are really eye catching and all kinda blends in beautifully. I definitely need to start making more banners since I have gathered way to many avatars which I have cued up.

Thanks to all and be on the watch for the new thread, soon, probably.

There should be an 'A' in there somewhere. [/capnjacksparrow] But thanks! :smallcool:

And Grlump totally got #11 wrong!

I will be watching for the next one, and I kind of wish I had done this one.

[CENTER] Kasanip's take on Zefir was spectacular, I believe the Glowing effects and the reflection on the little chest crystal were the highlights of it (also, ThousandWords justification of it being in theme is also of note and praise)

I agree with this completely. I think it's absolutely amazing. What I would give to be able to create works of art like that
or even to own one...

It is there.

What do you mean, that's totally your entry.

What prevents you from joining? if you don't mind me asking.

Well this round, it's because I'm currently at a summer school thing. But like, college credits, not remedial. And the beginning of this one coincided with the first week, which I thought was going to be really intense, and it is but I have more free time than I thought, so I'm ready for the next one!

Hmm, I just noticed that my guessing table was a little truncated. Oh well, i messed up a lot anyways.

And I thought Teutonic Knight wouldnt draw Akrim.Elf after doing it only two themes ago! Silly me.

And thanks for the kind words Pinky. But what is MSPA style? Quick google came up with Mystery Shopping Providers Association.

Read it (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/) and become addicted :smalltongue: Though it is a bit ambiguous what MSPA style means, since the author has 4 or 5 different styles throughout the comic, depending on the silliness/seriousness/heroicness of the occasion.
