Whether you're an accomplished artist or you can barely hold a pencil, you are invited to join the 2022 Summer Art Challenge!
This challenge was originally hosted by @(you need an account to see links) in 2020, and is back due to popular demand! In order to keep the original spirit of the event alive, the prompts below are similar (and in some cases, the same) as the original 2020 event.
"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 August 31st 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 August 31, 2022, you will unlock this gorgeous userbar:

Yay! I did my best with the Challenge prompts. I'm no artist, but Fab's original list was already wonderful - I just edited it slightly!
Thank you for giving us an excuse to try new things!
Each item is good on it's own and can be mixed with a lot of others, i'm hoping everyone could get a lot of fun exploring it!

I'm so excited! I want to do this again because I really have improved art wise since the last one.
I already have the userbar but I still think it will be fun. Just put of curiosity will there be anything for people who already have the ub but complete 15 prompts? If not that's totally fine! I still plan to do them 😂
