Thought I'd try out for a little activity.How about a drawfag competition. Drawfags can sign up here and compete against each other, one-on-one. Take a request for a thread on /co and see which are more well-received.Let the rules and guidelines be ironed out here. Anyone think they would be interested?
You're darn tootin', Herr.
Rule #1: No Pepper Potts.
>>34670Excellent show!
Can we not deviate from the thread two posts in?
>>34673We're drawing our subject. But I think I won
Rule 2: you must only use the burn tool to shadeNO EXCEPTIONS
>>34677 >Rule 2: you must only use the burn tool to shade I think mines incompatable with MS Paint.
I'll join if set up well.I think that we should create a roster, where artists are set up against one another. Each pair is assigned to draw a request and it's voted who did better. The winner ranks up until the finals.Maybe make a large thread on /co, ask to be pinned.
Rule #1 Participants must maintain anonymity. (as much as possible)
>>34701Works for me.
Change this, replace it with something like enter void.
>>34701How is that supposed to work? Besides people being able to tell by their drawings, that won't help with ranking.
IN DURING ASMODEUS. :V
>>34718Incognitymous already drew that for you.
Ooh. Sounds fun. Anonymity is probably a good idea, though, like someone mentioned before, it might be kind of obvious anyway with art styles.If things go well and artists try their best to beat their opponents, we could end up with some awesome new content. EVERYONE WINS!
We first need to make a sign-up sheet. For now, probably make this contest a max of 16 drawfags (we'll change the number as needed).Who do we have so far?
i wanna play
>>34778Are we assuming any drawfags posting in the thread, or do we explicitly have to say ME ME ME PICK ME OH PLEASE OH PLEASE ME I KNOW THE ANSWER?
I think I will participate as well.
I would like to join.
so.... is this happening or what?
So far, the only contenders are Geers, Tim, Ron, Sir, and David. Anonymous wants to join, but it's worthless if they don't have a name for us to identify them.We're going to need more players before we can move to the next step.
Competition, you say? I'm in.
We should probably have a mediator to oversee the project. Someone who will choose which requests go to which drawfags, which drawfags will be pit up against whom, when the drawings are due and whatever little organizational responsibilities. Preferably someone who'd take the time to create the threads and create a little chart showing who's won and moving onto the next round.And preferably not a contestant. Any volunteers?
>>35048Well that was quickly settled. We still need more contestants. Might want to advertise this thread or contest in some /co drawfag threads. So spread the word.
>>35049I'm in. If anything, for a little friendly competition and some light practice.If I need to be Anonymous or anything,... shite's cool, too.
>>35040 Please allow myself to introduce... myself. I am timmy.
I suppose I can come out from lurking for awhile and actually participate... so sure, I'll join.
Nine contestants so far. How many more can we get?
When do we start and how many more do we need?
How long will the drawfags be given to work on the requests? How will they be notified? It's not like we all live in the same time zone.
>>35142Since it'll be hard to know when they're all available, a chart will be made by the referee to show what drawfag will be drawing on what days against whom. Each round should last, I suggest, three days. Enough time to work hard on the drawings and work around their schedule.Any objections to this?
>>35143 None from me, Mr. Referee sir!
>>35143Sounds good to me.Oh, and I don't always remember to check /draw/ every day, so here's my email just in case.
>>35143sounds gewd
>>35175I am confident that I can beat none of those people and thus will not be participating. /O_o\
>>35186Ya know, as pessimistic as I am that this "competition" is just another Asmo attempt to get free art, I think not participating because you feel outclassed is a bad reason not to try.
>>35187If it was an Asmo attempt, s/he would be making the requests him/herself, instead of leaving the requests to requests in drawfag threads.Your pessimistic outlook is not a logical one.
>>35191You must be new here.
>>35175 If two have already dropped out then I say we do 8 for now since getting people is proving kind of hard. But that's just my vote.
>>35195No, he's right. I always see him starting something or provoking people. He's very much the troublemaker.
>>35197Untrue.
>>35206This would be very convincing if it wasn't all without tripcodes, thus reassuring my belief that it's all one person trying to pick on one person.
I haven't been drawfag for some time now, but this looks like a fun thing to do, and I guess the pic gets more time than the length of a drawthread to do.If spots are still open, I'd like to participate.
>>35220>Free Glass VS geershahaha oh lawd I can't wait to see this
>>35214Is the request going to be issued on Friday? I probably can't make it because I'll be out all day. Sorry :(>>35224I hope you draw your submission while wearing a top hat, monocle, and smoking a choice cigar. I expect nothing less than the classiest artistic fisticuffs between us.
>>35231Frigsakes, I haven't even seen Inception yet. I guess I'll have to get on that.
>>35231Sweet! When's the deadline? Also, do we just post the finished pictures here or in a thread on /co/?And... I guess just any specifics we might need to know. A general rule post would probably be a good idea.
>>35232Few questions. Not sure if it was explained.1) What's the timeframe of each round going to be like? As in, Tim/Astro start first, and then after the submissions are turned in, the next group starts? Or does the next round start after a winner is declared? Or will each round start on a Friday? etc.2) How are the winners declared? Are the two entries going to be posted on /co and be voted on?
>>35220And so, it begins!!Also, like Tim and Sir, I'd like to know about the timeframe for each battle.
>>35238 Those are some good rules, easy to understand and such.If we can start whenever then I'm ready for my part if Sir is.
>>35253......uhm, can we work on choosing these requests?Also, Sir didn't say he was ready. It doesn't seem to make sense to tell them what they're going to draw before they're both ready, or one of them can start earlier than the allotted time.
>>35253 Cool.>>35256 I will wait until Thurday night to start my part unless Sir says he is ready or whatever. I will do my part to as fair as possible.
>>35258What are the requests that you have, Mr. Referee? We'll be needing seven, but I think we should have an excess to keep at random, so the drawfags can't figure out what they're going to have to draw. Maybe up to twelve requests for the referee to randomly assign.Also, the drawfags should probably be asked if they even want to draw certain requests.
>>35271Okay, that's good. I like that. I was just concerned whether there will be some requests with content that the artist disagrees with, or with content that the artists just doesn't know about.
>>35253I know that you're using broad requests to get us contestants out of our comfort zone, but I really do not want to draw Yugioh or that ludicrous hair. I didn't like the show when it came out and know little about it.
>>35277Probably should have thought about that before entering something that may require you to draw something that isn't Batman/Green Lantern related.
If Sir does not want to draw what is put forth that's his choice. I will draw what I was given.
>>35224>Free Glass VS geers
>>35290
>>35290When victory is in doubt, cheat.
Okay, I went to see Inception earlier today. Gonna draw up the idea I have when I wake up later tonight. Is that deadline still in effect?
Drawfag, reporting in. I should wait for Powergal's arrival to get my assignment, right?
>>35310Reporting for duty!
wat
>>35231Sorry it's kind of late. I was out of town and without a computer for Friday/some of today. So uh. Here's miiiine. Spoilered just in case? Not that there are actual spoilers, hahahaha
>>35325 I'm not going to be able to draw anytime soon, unfortunately. Unplanned computer crap-outs.
>>35340Batman's dreams, I take it?
>>35347 NIGHTMARE MODE
A little dirty. I might try inking the entries if I continue.>>35288I'm expecting something great from you.
>>35370I'll try to get one in by friday but my partner isn't drawing one is he/she? now what?
Entrees should be turned in by the end of today.But by the looks of like, most of the drawfags didn't even participate. A little sad, a little pathetic.
Just curious, but where did these anonymous requests come from, anyway? A thread on /co/?
Hey, guys, just wanted to say that I'll post my pic later tonight (but still on friday). Sorry for the delay.
>>35447same here.
Mine will be done tonight as well. Just checking in.
>>35443 I've done a few drawings that are in the old request thread but this is the first time that I've given a name.
>>Finn from Adventure Time and Dora the Explorer meeting up and adventuringHere's mah pic. BTW, I did way too much research for this (but now, I shall watch and enjoy Adventure Time on a more regular basis thanks to it.)
...sigh...
Adventuring!
Sooo.... how is voting done?
>>35465Will you be making a thread on /co or just keeping it restricted to here?
>>35467By the looks of the current situation, it looks like we'll have three semi-finalists. Will you have all three battle each other with one drawfag request?
>>35470 Thanks to whoever voted for me! lol
>>35469Why Geers if he didn't participate in this round? That seems like grounds for disqualification. And how much extra time are we going to give Astro? Maybe I'm being critical, but this seems irresponsible of them.Also, I think you should make a thread on co for more votes. Maybe even ask the mod to sticky it for the day.
>>35472 Yeah I thought the deadline was Friday.
>>35474You've seen the crap they've been pinning? The most arbitrary threads.So yes, you never know what'll happen.
>>35473If the deadline were friday, that'd mean their requests would remain unfulfilled ;)
my match-up dropped out :(
>>35489 Can I suggest a winners bracket and losers bracket? I'm still wanting to draw and will challenage whoever doesn't win. Or not.
>Sir vs geers>Sexy Roberta at beachAwesome.
Versus Tim? Holy crap!That's going to be cool!
>>35523Nice work.
>>35521 I'm on it!!
>>35526LET'S MAKE THIS HAPPEN
SupNice work, everyone.Will there be more contests after this one? I'd like to give it a try.
>>35526Congrats, man!>>35521Gettin' on this!
Awwww, shoot.Missed it. Hope there'll be another soon.
Wasn't there a Meowth here just a moment ago? Has anyone seen Meowth?
