Illustration Challenge anyone?

[THROBBS]

I would like to see if there is any interest in resurerecting the Art challenges?

They are "contests" , but with the emphasis not on "winning" but participating and sharing and pushing... ergo the "challenge".

Each is a one word theme based challenge with a "quick" (I feel that it is l-o-n-g ) turn around time 2 weeks.

SO.
for example:
I kick it off with a word... "paper" (for example.... don't start, taht isn't THE word)
then. everyone runs to the drawing board, easel, laptop etc....
and e-mails me their solution.
DING! time is up, and I compile the images, which are submitted within LIT's size restriction 600pixels high by 800 pixels wide max. (can be smaller of course).
I post all entries with anonymous numbers for each. and a poll. poll runs for....a week? Then the winner gets a virtual trophy and selects and hosts the next challenge.

We CAN have overlapping challenges too.

It worked pretty well in the past.
we had themes of:
Window, Wet, Evil, Night, Fine Wine, Leaf, Shadow, Space, Fan....

Any takers?

Yeah, I'm in!

 

[where]

I might be....

 

[THROBBS]

Yeah, I'm in!

YESSSSsss!!!

 

[THROBBS]

I might be....

"might" is good enough.

There are times when a challenge word does not inspire. Then one can take a "pass"...and even start you own challenge!
You could even make up your own rules.

 

[kinkikittyn]

YESSSSsss!!!

 

[THROBBS]

A few others from the past challenges:
FINE WINE

FAN

EVIL

Thanks! It was fun, but getting out the paints is a bit too obvious, I need to be covert in my erotic production. When I did that, I had a more secure office.

Pencil on copier paper can be hid quickly!

BTW "Evil Alpaca" is (was?) a LITster
