Arts and CraftsThe place to talk about stick figure avatars, graphic design, fan art, or any application of the visual arts and creative writing--or just to show off your latest masterwork!
Oh. So you did. I just went straight for the "Challenge" folder on DA, sorry
But... you have to upload six drawings, not five. Last week, I just counted the picture with two characters as two entries because, well, I thought that was the intention (which would be why you passed).
Since this seems like a misunderstanding, I'll say you keep your streak if you just put up seven pieces this week (and six in the future). Hope that seems fair

Oh my god, guys, I'm so sorry! I prepared this post yesterday so I could post it with minimum effort today (and adjust for possible last-minute entries), but in my sleep deprivation, I completely forgot!
Better late than never, I guess...
Incoherent Essay passes with assorted orcish military figurines (including a lightning-shooting, nasty-looking device) and a full Touhou figurine.
Glass Mouse passes with comics and assorted drawings (including a lightning elf and a CHALLENGE prize).
KerfuffleMach2 didn't upload anything. Are you still in?
ShadowySilence uploaded a poem.
Shades of Gray didn't upload anything.
Neoriceisgood passes with a lot of comics and some sent-to-me sprites.
azuyomi244 put up seven art pieces and thus passes both this and last week. You go, girl!
KerfuffleMach2, ShadowySilence, Shades of Gray FAIL this round.
IncoherentEssay, Glass Mouse, Neoriceisgood and azuyomi244 PASS this round.
In other news:
IncoherentEssay received his CHALLENGE prize (16 weeks) here. (I used it as an entry last week, but there was tweaking to do)
Neoriceisgood received his CHALLENGE prize (8 weeks) here.
Curse you workload and procrastination, curse you...

I'm stepping out of this actually, I originally joined to give me some incentive to post art more regularly, but 90% of the non-comic art ended up being secret stuff anyway, I kinda realised lately that I wasn't even sticking true to the biggest motivator for myself.
@Neoriceisgood: Aww, now I have to actually bookmark PtGG. Tsk, shame on you for giving me work
Seriously, though, it's been good having you in the CHALLENGE (you even made a mark). Good luck in your future creative endavours.
I might join again in the future, as it was definitely fun, but probably not "what I need" at the moment.
When I get through this difficult school period (and stop getting sick so often..god ) I might have so much time to spend on art that it'd be fine to do this again, but for now it makes me focus on stuff that's not really "essential".
I will still remain in the challenge, but I may not be able to produce much for a while. (so much work to do... )
I might have to pull away to work with this theme a bit though, I love history.

Incoherent Essay passes with a huge fighting scene and an OoTS-style figurine.
Glass Mouse passes with comics and three character drawings.
Shadowy Silence uploaded a lineart-y demon king. Hey Shadow, if you don't make this next week, I'm deleting you from the list.
azuyomi244 is still on standby.
Thus, Shadowy Silence FAIL this round!
IncoherentEssay and Glass Mouse PASS this round!
It's azuyomi244's turn to choose a theme (unless she doesn't want to, in which case it's IE's turn)
I am sorry I have fallen so behind, I don't mean to be a burden or appear lazy. I really wish I had more time to spend on my art (stupid commitments and all). I hope I haven't seemed like a parasite or something.
I will try to upload enough to pass this week, I hope to get more time to work on my art this Summer.

First, azuyomi244 hasn't given a theme, so it's up for grabs for participants and non-participants alike!
Think of it as a freebee theme choice

Hooray, welcome
You're welcome to post here. I'm not sure how many readers you'll get, but that's the only possible problem I can see.

Don't worry, there's nothing parasite-ish about it. I just figured, since you haven't made the last bunch of week and have been quiet for some time, that you'd left (that happens a lot here).
But yes, go draw and upload stuff! Don't make me whip out the ugly cheerleader again!

Ok I will get crackin', and the cheerleader wasn't ugly!

I know it is a bit late to ask for this, but may I start fresh next week? I promised players in my newest game that I would draw their character's pictures so I am guaranteed to get some this week.

Incoherent Essay passes with a assorted fighter/soldier figurines and a full (surprise ) Touhou figurine.
Glass Mouse passes with comics, some character drawings (including a few OoTS-style).
Shadowy Silence didn't upload anything, but is back from next week.
azuyomi244 is back from next week.
SamBurke is participating from next week (I think?).
Mindfreak586 is participating from next week.
Thus, Shadowy Silence FAIL this round!
IncoherentEssay and Glass Mouse PASS this round!
It's SamBurke's turn to choose a theme
(for the uninitiated, the theme is meant as an inspiration booster for anyone who wants it - IE always uses them, and I tend to)
@Azuyomi: Welcome back!
@Mindfreak: Yes, exactly. Deadline is technically Monday 11 a.m. GMT+1 since that's the time there's no Sunday left anywhere in the world, but you just need to remember the Sunday part.
@Shadowy: It's fine. Thanks for the heads-up! (and yay, character drawings - those are always fun)
I'm interested in this, though I'll be gone and without internet for six weeks, in six weeks, I'll try to get writing and post that all (a whole 36 pieces of it) when I get back. In any case, I've got to start thinking about what to write, since it's going to be a lot, I've got to have something to write about. I'm thinking something like 'Journal of a [D&D character]' with the first few entries being his personality, quirks, and what he looks like, etc. Thoughts? I do have exams next week, so I might start the week after that, but that's too much procrastination for me, so meh.
Incidentally, for pieces of writing, at what point would long(ish) DM-posts count, any minimum # of words?

I'm back; let slow but regular posting commence.
Haha, awesome. If you can put up 36 pieces in six weeks, you'll definitely get your six week markers
I'd say a character description counts as one (unless explicitly split in two, like "person" and "person's history" or something).
For length of posts, that's a little difficult... We've allowed poems of down to five lines, and technically anything that counts as a "finished piece" would fly. However, I'd still say a limit of something like... 250 words (for prose) would be reasonable. What do people say? Is that acceptable?
