    Hey, Rockbird, isn't it a lot of work for you to plough through all our sketchbooks, DA accounts and stuff to make sure we meet the Challenge?

    I was just thinking, maybe it'd be easier for you if it was our own responsibility to post "I made the challenge this week!" or "I didn't make the Challenge, and I'm out/will definitely try again next week!"
    Failure to confirm that Challenge is met = challenge not met.

    Just a thought

    Right, since it seems like Fraudman isn't a GitP member and the next week needs a theme: Flight.
    Bird, plane, paratrooper, it's all good.
    Extra kudos for creative application of the theme.
    It is more of a disclaimer than a name. Essay, Inc., or the like are all fine as shorthand.
    Things i made from clay, wire & paint.

    That's a thought. Honestly, at this point it's not much trouble - I want to see what people've done anyway! It's a good idea if we get more participants though .

    Also, second week is over and everyone seems to have made it! (Well, since HellfireLover hasn't linked a gallery yet I'm not counting him as properly signed up just yet.)

    Hey Guys!
    I went and got myself an account!

    It's so fun that so many are in on the CHALLENGE! I feel my drawing is improving, even though it's only been two weeks

    Hi Fraudman, and welcome to GiantITP

    It's great to hear about the effects of the CHALLENGE. I've been drawing two or three comic pages every week for 1½ years, but I was starting to get in a rut, so it's really good to get that push to draw something else.
    I, too, feel like I've improved during these few weeks. It's awesome!

    You draw comics? That's awesome : D I used to draw all the time but then school started and I just fell out of the rhythm, so the CHALLENGE is my way back, and now I'm starting to get a kind of 'attagirl' feeling everytime I sit down and draw.

    The third week is over.

    Concrete, you failed.

    Technically, so did Fritzell. However, he contacted me at the start of the week and said that he'd be away from internet connections the entire week. So he gets an extension .

    Yeah, I draw Cat's Eyes - the thing on the other end of my sig banner
    'attagirl' is a great reaction to drawing! I wish I got that more instead of "ohgodi'mwaybehindineedtodrawlikerightnowandAL OT!"
    Still, there's nothing quite like looking at a finished piece.

    Your drawing discipline is bad, and you should feel bad
    Glad you're still going.

    For the theme, I'm guessing since Fraudman didn't get to choose last time, she should have her turn now? That, or she should face the dire consequences of signing up late, in which case the theme should be decided by Concrete.

    Theme for this weeks CHALLENGE! (sorry it late)
    I was thinking, walking home from school and feeling the cold wind on my face (so poetic) that I wanted to draw
    the Swedish anthropomorphic personification of winter, Kung Bore.
    Talked to my brother (aka Rockbird) and we, mostly me, thought that it would be cool if the theme was 'anthropomorphic personifications'

    Good luck this week everyone! (now I have to go and draw. and then draw. and also... draw. )

    The fourth week is over.

    Fritzell, you double failed.


    Oh, and if someone else is following this thread - it's not too late to join in the fun! It never is!

    Aw, Fritzell. Get back into the fight! You can do it! :-)

    Hey Rockbird, maybe you should put it in the opening post that it's just a matter of seeing how long we can go (and that failing one week isn't the end of one's personal challenge). And that everyone is welcome at any time.
    Sorry to give you work, but it just seems like something that'd be worth knowing as soon as one clicks on the thread

    Also, it's Concrete's turn to choose a theme.

    Is this thing still officially running?

    If so, it seems to be Fritzell's turn to choose a theme
    (yeah, I know I haven't been too good with the themes myself, but they're still kinda fun)

    I'd say this is running as long as there is someone willing to keep it running.
    Wasn't Fritzell's theme pick for last week though? Which means... *checks list* yep, up to you now, followed by Rockbird next week unless we get new participants.
    If we don't hear anything from Rockbird by next week it's either closing the challenge or reorganizing it a bit to get more participants.

    All right, then! This week's theme is FIGHT. Battles, aftermath, ninjitsu-ing... everything's fair game as long as it's related to someone (or something) fighting.

    If Rockbird doesn't return, I'll be willing to take the responsibility of keeping it running. But you're right, IE, let's wait until last week to react. I hope he returns

    Hum. I'm still here, but i haven't been posting since, well... Too much school and too little energy. Mostly too little energy

    Both me and Fraudman will be dropping out. I'll probably return once I have the will. Right now I'm a bit burnt out .

    so i guess...

    I FAIL


    I do hope you guys keep at it. I enjoy looking at your stuff

    Oh, hi, Rockbird, good to see you back!

    Your dropping out, is it just with regards to the drawing part, or are you dropping out of managing the CHALLENGE as well?

    Sorry if I'm being pushy, I'd just really like to see this continue. I'm drawing like never before with this. So, if you're letting it all go, I'd rather take on the extra work than let it fall.

    In any case, I hope things will look up for you soon

    Edit: Because I'm a moron who can't tell Fraudman from Rockbird. Sorry.

    So do I :)

    I think It's best if you take over the management too. (And you don't seem pushy at all. Enthusiastic maybe, but who'd see that as a problem? )

    Will do, then :)
    If it's okay, I'll probably do a new thread sometime this week... so I can edit the participants and stuff.

    So, uh, if anyone doesn't want me to take on the responsibility (if you wanna do it yourself or something), please say so.
    Also, if there are suggestions for a new thread, throw 'em at me.

    And Rockbird, I'm sorry I called you Fraudman. I'm at my school, so I'm kinda writing this with one eye on a political analysis. Doesn't make for excellent concentration
