Possible competition

DoTW???

DoTW???

more like AoTW (art of the week)

although, art of the month sounds more logical to me since we already got sotw. and running two competitions weekly is rough cause you know how sotw is so hype and popular.


im all for the idea.

 

[Salty the Hero]

Well I was thinking of doing this annually, but monthly could work, probably.

If you want a decent drawing, a week isn't cutting it.

 

[Vayne Mechanics]

For sketches, a week is more than enough.

 

[Lancelot]

Fortnightly would probably be a more reasonable option. As Ken said, sketches don't take that long, but then you've got to compensate for people who aren't always able to do it straight away, and if it has to more detailed also, a bit more time should be given

 

[Salty the Hero]

Like I said in the post, I might give them 1-2 weeks for entries.

Though I think 2 weeks is a little too long.

 

[Lancelot]

I think it would depend on the topic too

 

[Salty the Hero]

Well I won't give ridiculously difficult requirements (except maybe the final round).

 

[Hellpark]

A sketch is crap

 

[Ophan]

^when you suck at drawing

 

[Lancelot]

^Lmao

But yeah, sketches can be made out to look good, and often it's nice to see the original untouched perspective of the drawing

 

[Hellpark]

its nice but against a fully finished piece in photoshop which takes hell of less time, its crap. a finished drawing will probably look 10x better then photoshop, but takes longer.

 

[Lancelot]

Yeah, that's kind of a point I was getting at in the time factor

 

[Salty the Hero]

Well, we only have 1 battle (which is the final) for the 'sketch/drawing vs a tag thing' so I don't think we should worry about that too much.

What we should worry about is how the rounds are going to work out. Digital Media outnumbers Traditional Media; therefore the rounds would be higher for DM, and lower for TM.

So we either need to get more TM people, or another way to do the battles. Maybe we should pair up multiple participants from DM and the top _ from the voting will go to the next round/

Sound good? Or does anybody have other suggestions?

 

[Lancelot]

Why not just hold off the TM until the DM gets equal to it in terms of participants?

 

[Salty the Hero]

I think that'd be kinda unfair.

I want to have as many people as possible from both sections. Not necessarily equal.

 

[Lancelot]

Hmm yeah, true. Hopefully more people will flood in a bit

 

[Vayne Mechanics]

Like I said, I'm fine with assisting in this contest, and I'm sure Dan (crow) is too, but it's way too rough. It needs to be refined before it gets put up.

 

[╬ProperArtist╬]

I wouldn't mind helping with the Traditional section of things either.
