Congratulations on your win Throbbs, curious about the illustration, how did you paint it ?

Thank you, Austin.
I made a rough concept sketch of my idea on copier paper.
Then a pencil sketch on illustration Board. I made a bunch of water color washes..getting darker and more detailed each time. I adjusted the scan to match the original then used a Star shaped brush in photoshop to add stars on the comforter and to add a bit more shadowing.

I'm a bit bummed that the scans goofed... did not scan the entire image. Thi scanner has a bad habit of not always scanning the selection...grrrr. And I did not take the time to double check the scanned image.

 

[Austin8]

very cool! I was almost positive you had colored the picture with a brush, but the stars kinda threw me off I couldn't quite figure out how you created them, very nice work!

Thanks! There are times that photoshop is the right tool!
Though using some of that gouache, that we talked about before) might have been the thing.... for a less "regular look"

Congrats, Throbby! I really loved your entry! Nice, full, thick, meaty tan-lined erotic ass peeking out from the starry blanket...kinda touched my soul in certain ways...

Ok... how do we ID them?
by Date and name (vs the V1a etc)?
or........

eg
"duct tape" enter by 12-28-09
"duct tape" poll voting ends 1-14-10


or whatever

Here's my labeling option for the new year's joints:

2010 Erotic Art Challenge #X: "XXXXXX"

First X is the series number, followed by the word theme. You don't need the "version" v's or anything else and that thread will be the main thread. When doing a search, the hierarchy will always follow "2010 Erotic Art Challenge" and be listed in progression by the series number. Not really any diff from the titling of the writing challenges happening here. We can also substitute "Art" with "Illustration" if it makes better sense? I dunno. "Art" is a good and convenient catchall for what we're doing here under many mediums!

 

[Austin8]

morning Irez, so ok, but what about the voting poll? separate thread? or within the body of the main thread? Art's a good word, I consider our work art.

Polls HAVE to be stand alone. You only get oportunity to make it a poll when you start a thread.

I still prefer "illustration" over "art". To me "art" holds some pretentiousness...and illustration is specifically the goal, to illustrate the word.

 

[kinkikittyn]

I have no preference for this purpose between "art" and "illustration"

I like the title for threads to have the "word" listed and no "V0.0a" etc as I found the inclusion of the "V0.0a" to be confusing.

You da man!
Set up "package" how you think will work best.

 

[Austin8]

Hmm, I dont feel like Da man, I feel like a man sitting on one drawing.

Ok Im sticking with the original wording, then see where the new year takes us...

 

[THROBBS]

Hmm, I dont feel like Da man, I feel like a man sitting on one drawing.

um... stand up then!


I thunk you had at least two submissions for "package"?
And expecting a few more what with the extension.

*stands up*

*grinning* Two submissions is correct.

Because everything is time-based, there'll be enough of a gap between the word announcement and then the final gallery poll, which we can modify simply as thus:

2010 Erotic Art Challenge #X: "XXXXXX" to:

2010 Erotic Art Challenge #X Poll: "XXXXXX" or 2010 Erotic Art Challenge #X: "XXXXXX" Poll

This way, there'll only be two threads in our Artists' Section pertaining to the word, which will be upfront in the title of both, with the corresponding number hierarchy, to mitigate confusion and keep it clean. Throbby, you wouldn't have to stop link advertising the challenges or the polls in other sections of Lit. In fact, this might even make it more clearer for people to go to the threads in our section to participate or vote.

I think you may have creased them!
Oh...see if you can weasel Ann Vremont to submit hers.... She has THREE on her thread

Does this mean you have to hide all your raunch now?

I am becoming increasingly disinterested in the advertising portion. If it had resulted in more particpants, including co9mmentary, that would be good. More votes... shrug...

There are a couple of self proclaimed "artists" who frequent the GB. MAYBE using "art" in the thread titles would draw (ha ha) them out, but I reeally do not think so. They are either afraid (I think this is the case) or feel "above" this sort of "exercise". Frankly, I'd get as much out of just doing the challenge with no poll.

haha

sadly I have to hide it all the time.
