The Art-Off Challenge Thread

Post by PKGriffin »

An old fan forum I used to be on had a thread like this, so I'm shamelessly copying the idea since I haven't seen anything like it here. An "art-off" sort of works like a combination contest and game. People volunteer to be contestants, then other people post suggestions for what they should draw. Everything is organized through this thread, then when both pieces of art are finished, someone posts them in a separate thread with a poll and links it here. Once a certain number of people have voted, a winner is declared. There aren't any prizes other than bragging rights, so don't feel bummed out if you lose.

The idea is to have a fun means of both showing off and improving your art ability. Skill level doesn't matter, so anyone is free to sign up. You might get paired with someone who has little experience, or someone who makes art professionally. And you both might end up drawing a radioactive duck firing lightning bolts from its eyes. This game can be as serious or as silly as you like.


Just to lay down some ground rules:

- You can use this thread for discussion, but to participate in the game, you either: A) volunteer as a contestant, B) challenge two people to face off with each other, C) challenge someone to face-off with you, or D) suggest a subject or theme for someone to draw.

- If you want to challenge anyone, they have to be available (i.e., not in the middle of another contest).

- Keep it to two contestants per art-off for now.

- Art can be done in any medium, unless specified by the idea suggester.

- Subjects have to be site-appropriate (i.e., no gratuitous sex, gore, violence, etc.).

- If you are a contestant, you have to post your finished piece for a contest before signing up for another one.

- All art created is the property of the people who make it. You can suggest them both draw an OC of yours, but they can do with it what they want.

- Depending on how many people we get, let's say you need at least 5 votes in an art-off thread to be declared a winner.

I'm not confident enough to volunteer against you guys :P In the future perhaps.
I kinda want to see a radioactive duck firing laser bolts from its eyes, so maybe I'll enter that as a subject. ^u^

Since you two don't have a challenge yet, I'll challenge Rij and Ty to draw a dragon. An eastern-style dragon specifically, since you both have western-style dragons in your signatures already. ^.^
