Gauging interest

[tolyk]

Hi everyone, your friendly neighbourhood tolyk here. I'm curious if the went through the effort of creating some events (contests, themed participation events, peer reviews, cross-art learning threads, etc etc) how many people would participate and which format you would rather participate in.

If you have ideas for other types of events, please share.

Edit: Auto correct attacked me in the poll. Supposed to be juried critique event

Thanks,

Tolyk

sure. why not?

Fer instance...

some may not have been around.

We had "word challenges".

A word was presented, a deadline given. (a week)
And participants submitted visual erotic "solutions" to the word.
A poll was made.
voting took place. (for a week)
The "winner" selected the next word and hosted the poll.

We could do this again.
Time frames could be longer or shorter.

I have many of the past solutions and could post as fer instances... IF anyone is curious.

In the mean time here are some of the words used:

fan
window
wet
shadow
pink
night
leaf
fine wine
evil
bottom
space

Post them

I'll create an index that we can sticky to the top of all current and past challenges/themes/etc so it will be easy to browse through

Window

Oh man, that golden window, I barely recognize that as one of mine that must be from 2004ish..

was it? I thought that one (#10) was Moonlight Elf's?

 

[THROBBS]

"Pink"

 

[THROBBS]

9 is mine, the Golden window

 

[THROBBS]

9 is mine, the Golden window

ah ha! That is more familiar..the file has a 2006 date on it... but not sure if that is the creation date?
the title is simply "thewindow"

 

[THROBBS]

"Bottom"

Had a few minutes after lunch before we head out while that woman gets ready.
It seems that for most of the other word challenges, I only have my own solutions on file. I might keep looking.and perhaps some are still buried in the threads?

Being a visual (very strongly visual) biased person - I love the idea of the themed 'exhibition' - whatever you want to call it.

Really useful to see the images grouped together in order to leave your thoughts and feedback etc

I really enjoyed the diversity of results from a common theme/prompt.

There's not even enough interest to have a poll so far this is encouraging.

I think my pessimism was well based.

Would love this but my medium is fiber based and would take a while to complete. Or...maybe this is what I need to think out of the box. Hmmmm....

Your preferred medium is fiber based. Push yourself.


The presentation of fiber works can be a solution...
And existing work photographed in a context...

didn't need many demarcations on that guage.
