The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
For those of you who frequent the conceptart.org forums this should be pretty familiar; tens of artistic combatants thrown together in to an artistic arena, each struggling for the honor of being dubbed a master of the visual arts. Those of you who succeed will be bathed in glory and the blood of their competitors, those of you who fail will be exiled to a life of shame and isolation.
The aim of this thread is to try and spice things up a bit here in the ol' Artist's Corner. This thread is for entries in to the challenge or the discussion thereof. If you'd like to suggest a topic for the weekly challenge, go right ahead, but understand that the last winner of the challenge has total control over the task (unless they have won more than two challenges in a row, see rules).
The rules are simple;
RULES:
One entry per person, per challenge.
A contestant cannot win more than two challenges in a row.
Winner gets the privilege of choosing the next week's challenge.
At 50 pages, the thread is locked and a new one is begun. The last winner gets to create the next challenge thread.
Stick to the challenge topic; no going off on a tangent.
All formats welcome, whether they be traditional or digital; 2D or 3D; still or animated.
If you're looking for inspiration, check out the aforementioned conceptart.org forums (specifically the creature/environment/character of the week sections).
CHALLENGE 1: A Hidden World
Feel free to interpret this topic any way you wish.
Awesome. I'll ponder on some stuff, but I'm sure others will have better ideas. My entry would likely be in 3D. I'm assuming this is format-neutral? :P
How about, 'design a playing card based on a stimulus word'? We could run it so everyone uses the same word, or each person gets their own individual stimulus.
no not the username thing, I like the playing card idea or ND's idea.
I think we should do an environmental contest and a character design contest kind of like how CA.org does it.
It's great practice, and amongst people we're all friends and familiar with, not NEARLY as daunting as competing in the CA.org ones.
Of course most of theirs were comic themed. If we were to use pre-existing licenses here, they could be from any branch of pop culture really. The interests here really cover a lot of sub cultures, videogames, tabletop games, comics, movies, novels, etc.
I also like Rank's "a robot designed by *insert specific culture here*"
Pretty much, I like it when everyone works within specific regulations so that creative problem solving skills become apparent. If the problem is too open ended, the results vary too drastically to even compare to each other.

Hidden World sounds good, as does a playing card or something.
I was thinking something like a Movie Poster for a really really bad movie. Like "Axl Rose in Young Guns III: Desert Rose" or something to that effect.
There's a poll option limit of 10, so I had to slim it down by 3. Something I didn't realize until now and tried to base my decision for cuts solely on which ideas were more descriptive. The 10 poll limit is just something to be mindful of in the future.

You say that like it's a bad thing.
I like ND's suggestion.......and I smell speed paints.
We should have everyone use the same source so that we can see the different interpretations and styles of the subject.

A playing card would be cool. I would play.
that's the idea.
it is an exercise in improving.
Oh it's such a nice day, I think I'll go out the window! Whoa!
"design a chair for a celebrity"
yay!
A medieval knight from a world without metal
a robot designed by ancient egyptians
clothing style for intelligent, civilized insects
Satan's teapot
a musical instrument made entirely of stone and grass
a caravan used by an astral gypsy to travel along the outer reaches of galaxies
a race of birdmen from a world with one tenth Earth's gravity
a blind bloodhound from a children's cartoon about traveling anthropomorphic animal jazz musicians
::Slow clap::
They had ones like
Personify a zodiac sign,
Design your own Amalgam character,
Redesign an X-man using magic instead science,
or Design a justice league member in the wild west.

Sorry about that, flay just rhymes with fucking everything and it got a bit out of hand.
Sir, we think alike.
