Whether you're an accomplished artist or you can barely hold a pencil, you are invited to join the 2020 Summer Art Challenge! We're taking a leaf out of the (you need an account to see links) to put together a chill creative activity to get us through these Trying Times™.
"But I can't art!" – yes, you can! This is a low-stress, inclusive challenge, for all skill levels and time commitments. For newer creators or those who want to take it easy, there are "fun mode" prompts. For those with more experience under their belts, "challenge mode" has conventional art challenge prompts. You can mix and match easy and hard stuff, or go all easy.
Rules & Submission Info
Rules
No need to sign up to enter this challenge - jump in whenever you like. The challenge begins today and closes on July 15th at midnight NST.
Complete as many prompts as you want in any order you like. You can also combine multiple prompts into a single submission.
Submissions should be your own work unless specified by a prompt; please link to references or asset sources if used!
Comments/discussion about submissions should be made on the (you need an account to see links), not on individual threads, and should be supportive in nature
Any medium is allowed; traditional, digital, cake decorating, embroidery, DTI creations, photomanips, mixtapes, fanvids, Spotify playlists, ceramics, textiles, flower-arranging, etc. Do what you enjoy most, or try experimenting with something new!
You don't have to produce a masterpiece for every prompt. Doodles / simple creations are fine. This is supposed to be fun, not a burden!
How to submit
Choose your prompt & create the thing!
Decide if you want to share your submissions publicly, privately, or a mix of both. Protecting your identity comes first: if you are worried about a stylistic tell or giveaway in a given piece, submit it privately! In general, the prompts were chosen to avoid too much overlap with Neopets subject matter and will be quite different to anything you'd put in the BC.
For public submissions: if you feel comfortable sharing certain submissions publicly, post them as you go on a dedicated thread entitled "Art Challenge Submissions - [username]" in the (you need an account to see links)
For private submissions: if you wish to submit some (or all) submissions privately, post them as you go on a dedicated thread entitled "Art Challenge Submissions - [username]" in the (you need an account to see links). Submissions will be visible only to you, the mods, and me as the host. You can have both a public and private thread going at once and decide where to post each piece according to your comfort level.
The Prize
You'd join in just for the sheer pleasure of it, but how about a little incentive, too? If you complete 15 prompts by midnight NST on July 15, 2020, you will unlock this gorgeous userbar:
Lovingly crafted by the talented @(you need an account to see links), who is also modelling the permission group font that gets unlocked with this userbar. Isn't it glorious?
Questions? (you need an account to see links) or post them on the discussion thread! ALL skill levels are welcome to join: if you need a pep talk, I am here to tell you how and why you are worthy of joining in. Otherwise, get creating! Can't wait to see what you come up with! <3
