yakiimo Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Hey there! This is Yakiimo, your friendly neighborhood roasted sweet potato! I'm here to try to get some drawings going! Drawings with themes! Drawings with ... themes! Ahem. Anyway. Remember that 100 Theme Challenge thing that started all those years ago? I know everyone does... Well, 100 would be way too much to start out with, so I've decided (with some help from a friendly moderator ([b]you know who you are[/b]) to split them up into eatable chunks. Twenty! What you do is this: [b]Pick your theme![/b] - is there one theme in the list you just really really want to draw? Pick it! Draw it! CG or paint or whatever it! It could be traditional (my favorite), CG! Even avatars and banners. But here's the catch. [b]It must be NEW!!![/b] You can't have drawn it before and decided it just fits the theme. Draw something new! Draw something you haven't drawn before! Is the theme "coffee"? That's not really on the list, but I'm using it as an example. If it's "coffee", don't just draw a cup of coffee. Draw Sasuke doing Coffee Jutsu! Draw Inu Yasha fighting a coffee demon! Draw Vash dipping his doughnuts in coffee! Draw an elf made out of coffee! It's [i]endless[/i] what you can do with this theme challenge thing! Fanart or original characters, it's all good! [b]Draw it![/b] I already talked about this so there you go. [b]Post it up within a week![/b] A week is enough time to get one picture, avatar, or whatever done. Really! One day to sketch, one day to ink, five days to color? [b]Keep to the Forum rules![/b] If it's against the rules of OB's AS, then don't post it. Not sure? Go back and read the rules again! The drawings can be full color, black and white, or just a sketch. The idea behind this is to ... [b]HAVE FUN! BE CREATIVE! MAKE NEW FRIENDS![/b] It's exciting! Give it a shot! Here's the first twenty! 1. Introduction 2. Love [I]3. Light - [URL="http://www.otakuboards.com/member.php?u=1954"]Lunox[/URL][/I] [i]4.

Fortitude As they're picked, I'll go back and edit the thread to stick it in italics and put the person's named next to it. This project can't begin without you! Please come on and participate! I don't want to pick the first one, so I'll leave it here. Thanks so much! [b]EDIT[/b] I forgot! Once you're done with your first one, feel free to do another. Just make sure you've uploaded the first one beforehand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 [font=trebuchet ms]I'm really happy that you're such an enthusiastic member of the Art Studio. I've been trying to come up with a thread to encourage more activity here, and this seems like just the thing. I'll do [i]Rainbow[/i].[/font] [center][img]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=26650&stc=1&d=1217457678[/img][/center] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eleanor Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 [font=trebuchet ms] I'll pick [i]Light[/i]. :) [b][color=red]edit:[/color][/b] [img]http://xs129.xs.to/xs129/08314/ob20themeslightupload783.png[/img][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 [size=1]Ha, I was doing this before I knew it. First I only had the one with the ladder when I figured out I wanted to do a series. The calendar idea sort of failed, though. <_<' [center][b]Misfortune[/b] [URL=http://img98.imageshack.us/my.php?image=themesboomisfortunecaleor7.png][IMG]http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/8016/themesboomisfortunecaleor7.th.png[/IMG][/URL][/center][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I'll do dark. Edit: For some reason I got a little bit of a drawing block with this theme. The drawing is off Prince Ludwig from [SIZE=2]Ludwig Kakumei. He is one of the darkest princes that is actually the hero that I have come across in a book in a while. My scanner cut of the top a little bit so its kind of weird at the top. If this doesn't work let me know and I'll do a new one.

Lucy Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 [COLOR=#656446]Lovely idea, yakiimo! May I claim [i]Smile[/i]?[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yakiimo Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 THIS IS AWESOME! I'm so excited! The pictures uploaded are so cool. I love the scarf on Rainbow! Stick people rox my sox on Misfortune. Please keep them coming! I'll pick one sometime soon! Take whichever theme you want. It's really meant to get AS running over everything it's going so wonderfully. But the main thing behind it? To inspire people to be creative and artistic. Sometimes it just takes drawing something you never would've imagined to get your creative juices flowing. That's the whole idea behind the themes. Keep it up, you guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 [size=1]I think I have an idea for [b]Breathe Again[/b]. Time to finally put Painter X to work again. Might reconsider this after a few attempts though. :\ [b][color=red]EDIT:[/color][/b] [center][b]Breathe Again[/b] [URL=http://img243.imageshack.us/my.php?image=themesboobreatheagain00ss9.jpg][IMG]http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/1796/themesboobreatheagain00ss9.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/center] It sort of looks like something. In case you can't see, it's someone holding onto a rock in wild-ish waters. Didn't quite turn out as well as I would've hoped, but I might try a second attempt on regular drawing paper or canvas.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yakiimo Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 That's okay, Boo. But you see what it does? It's gotten you to use Painter X again. ;D IT WORKS! I'll put your name up for Breathe Again for now. If you change your mind, just let me know and I'll remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 If I can have blood next that would be great. You can see the drawing for dark in my other post. Edit: Here is blood. Is another sketch. I find sketches to me more fun now a days. This time I added some of my own style to the sketch.

yakiimo Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 No, that picture for Dark worked just fine! An artist's block is a-okay just as long as you trudge on through it. You'll break through the barrier and into the rough waters of creativity! Go motivational speaking! Keep them coming! I'm glad to see someone else doesn't always move beyond sketch.

eleanor Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 [font=trebuchet ms] I'll take [i]Gray[/i] as well. [/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellerby Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 [FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]I'll claim [b]Silence[/b]. I've drawn and coloured it in and just need to put the finishing touches on in Pshop. Should be up tomorrow.[/COLOR][/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerxes Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 [FONT="Century Gothic"][COLOR="DarkRed"]I'll claim [B]Love[/B]. I might not have it up too soon because I'm away from my scanner at the moment so expect it sometime later this week. This is also a great idea and seems a lot of fun! ~Kakushigoto[/COLOR][/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellerby Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 [SIZE="1"][COLOR="DimGray"]Alright here is [b]silence[/b]. It's completely different from what I drew up originally but whatever. [/COLOR][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
