Oh I just saw this one....duh....good idea!

db1986 · #3 02-03-2011, 02:07 PM

Sounds like a good idea to me, hopefully it will make the forum more active :)

elfy · #4 06-03-2011, 07:11 PM

In future competitions it will be disallowed but I don't want to enforce a rule retroactively so the lounge drawing will have to stay for this round.

Peter · #6 12-03-2011, 10:22 PM

Hi folks, new competition theme up. Well done fourtease!

db1986 · #7 15-03-2011, 02:38 AM

Congrats 40s, everyone had lovely drawings :)

I might join this one, we'll see how much time I have first ;)

SoulAngel · #8 18-03-2011, 11:33 PM

OK...first time dumbdumb here...I have drawn a picture for the comp (well...I have drawn a picture!)...now how do I post the blasted thing?

elfy · #9 19-03-2011, 11:09 AM

post it here http://www.isketchforum.net/gallery/upload.php?&c=20 and QUICKKK :P

SoulAngel · #10 20-03-2011, 08:57 AM

thanks elfy. I did that, and got the message my image was too big. So I resized and posted. Then realised it was blimmin' small compared to everyone else's, so I resized again and reposted today, then deleted the one I posted Saturday. Hmmm...now I don't know whether I've screwed up for the competition...darn!

I had a busy day yesterday so didn't manage to get the poll up, so long as you have it up before I've done the poll it should be okay.

Jobe · #12 27-03-2011, 01:00 PM

Congratulation for winning last weeks competition elfy.

New theme up (was Peter's suggestion)

goose · #13 04-05-2011, 10:51 AM

* goose votes for new contest.

Jobe · #14 04-05-2011, 04:34 PM

Yeah im starting to think Peter's suggestion is a non-starter

Jobe · #15 05-05-2011, 08:26 AM

Have you got any suggestions?

Peter · #16 05-05-2011, 02:37 PM

Hi guys, sorry about the lack of compo management, things have been absolutely hectic with coursework and exams since I got back from Ireland. I'll set up a new BMC tonight for release on Saturday. Suggestions are welcome, my idea for this theme was 'newbie/stickmen style' because I thought it'd level the playing field a bit for those of us who aren't brilliant artists... e.g. votes would be swayed by comic/cultural value.

db1986 · #17 06-05-2011, 11:04 AM

I like the stickperson idea, it means I can draw something easier ;)

I'll try to find time during my holiday to add a sketch, can't guarantee though

Perhaps a few ideas for upcoming themes:
Transportation - Incorporate a method of transport into your drawing.
Country Life - Similar idea but opposite to the city life theme.
Holiday/Vacation - Sketch a scene from your favourite/dream getaway.
Circle - Draw using the circle tool only.
Square - Draw using the rectangular tool only.
Country Theme - This could be a particular scene or popular/special event from a particular country, it could also be our homelands.
Monochrome - Draw using black and white only.

Just a few ideas for future comps

Peter · #18 07-05-2011, 10:50 PM

Okay, got a new theme up, hopefully it'll go okay! Thanks for the ideas db, I don't wanna hint what's coming up so I may or may not pick one for the next BMC. More ideas and comments are welcome :)

elfy · #19 09-05-2011, 08:26 AM

oooh i like that idea, then poor peter doesn't get the blame all the time if no-one enters:P

Peter · #20 14-05-2011, 11:11 AM

Damn, another week with no enteries. Either no one can be bothered to enter or my ideas suck! Probably the latter, lol. What would people like to see for the next theme?

If we get some more ideas I'll run a multi-option poll and use it to pick the next 2 themes. Then, if everyone is happy with the idea, we'll let the winner pick next idea in-line.

Here are some more ideas:

Music
Cats
The internet
Knock-off famous works

Well the format is 1 week for entries, 1 week for votes... so I assumed if no one had entered in the first week that no one liked the theme.

Seeing has people have entered for patriotism now I'll run a vote for it on Saturday.

db1986 · #22 20-05-2011, 12:27 AM

Woohoo, I'm glad I managed to join in this one

Snacky's and goose's drawings look so nice, I've got some fab competition :D

Even though I can't draw very well, I've surprised myself with what I did

goose · #23 20-05-2011, 08:10 PM

Why is she slow ?????

I don't think we need to worry, it is exam time of course :)

Peter · #25 22-05-2011, 09:57 AM

Ah I edited that date yesterday because I realised it still read April 1st! I'd just changed the links theme name/tag and not the date/link. Fortunately my exams are over now but my social calendar is filling up (have blown the metaphorical dust off it now I'm not burdened by work). Anyway, friends came over for dinner last night as I was preparing the thread, sorry! Almost done now!
