never seen one start up after about round 2.
wasn't awesomeSaurus in charge of the last one?

...maybe even a ChOW? something for inspiration/challenge?

Totally. I'm bored to death.

Whoa, never heard of "Double Battles", how does it work?

two people work on the same picture, basically.

someone can sketch, the other inks...
maybe one's style's good, while the other has a firm grasp on color.
you build off of each other's strengths, cover the other's weakness.

plus, you could call it a "team-building" exercises.

it's usually random... though if you have a fellow forumer in mind, you can pair up in advance.

I have invented just such a boredom relieving game folks, click this link

I like that Idea, I enjoy colouring peoples line art :P *hint hint*

I had to miss out on it last time because the cunt I got stuck with didn't get back to me.

Funny you said that! I was thinking of making Doubles Showdown 3 or returning COW to the scene! You just made my mind up for me! Look for the thread tomorrow afternoon around 2 PM US eastern time :) I have a few things I wanna tweak this time around for maximum kickass entries!

I tried to revive the Art Challenges thread, but there weren't any takers :(

that sucks. Sorry I don't really do much anymore artwise or I would participate more in everything.

Every once and a while I'll doodle and fail unfortunately. Like recently I was inspired to try the "imitate an art regs style" thread and came up short in my attempt to do a laserkarl tribute. Someone else did one with his style tho and it came out really nice.

If i can steal my parents scanner i'd have an easier time just to do my line work on paper, scan it, then color it in psp. This would probably make my ideas less of a hassle since I'm a perfectionist and get fed up when I try to draw something in my head on the computer and it looks like shit and I scrap it. I tried using a tablet but its really small and I'm not too good with it.

On another subject, I was just wondering if I could get your take on the pivot thread. I get a lot of hints that pretty much a lot of people hate it, but mostly I guess it's just ignored and people just accept the fact that its there. So im just wondering what everyones opinion is on it (i don't mind if you hate it)

I find it as an interesting medium because your challenged with making artwork with just dots and lines with the added bonus that u can give movable joints and make a little movie with it. Some focus more on the movie part other like to get more detailed, just depends on the person.

Sure this results in the inevitable stick guy, but even some stick men are creatively thought out and not just a bunch of lines slapped together.

So yeah just curious.

That's totally fucking rad. Way looking forward to it.

There's a Help/FAQ page for a reason.

You might as well read BBS Rules and Art Forum Rules too.

If you can follow this simple shit, you won't get all these people eating your ass out every time you post...

My fuck. That was supposed to be a reply to this thread.

Sorry guys!

Hey, I'm planning on getting a tablet. Well actually I'm planning on ordering it tonight. I'm planning on getting this Bamboo tablet. I'm planning on using it just for sketching, nothing serious. Please tell me if this is a good choice or if you know of another good tablet around the same price range.

I'm using the exact same one right now (well, this one is black), but I really like it!! I had just gotten a second Graphire3 for home shortly before they got me this Bamboo here at work, and I'm regretting my purchase! I like the Bamboo a lot better for some reason. Damn my impatience!! lol

Get it! And have fun!! :D

Thanks, what size is yours? And is it big enough? I'll probably get white, I have no idea why I just want it..

It's the small size, whatever that is (same size as a mousepad). It's the only size I've ever worked on so I can't honestly say if bigger is better in this case, but it just seems like it'd be a waste of desk space. I know some people like to hold them on their laps while they work though, so, yeah.

The first one I ever got was white too... it matched my keyboard! lol :P

Thankee.

Awesome! Can we post our original art here too?

Well. I don't know if you guys like starfighting or whatever, but my deviant art page has a few starfighters on it. I'm sort of in a holding pattern here though because I ran out of ideas, but if you want, give me some suggestions and I can make you your own custom starfighter. :) (link to my deviant art page is in my signature.

Hey, forumites, It is in my signature, but ppl apparently think I am joking. But no, pm me if you have any art related questions rather than making a thread that will just be locked. I will give you advice if I know the answer, or find out the answer and get back to you.

Didn't mean to drag this up from the depths, but didn't know where else to post this. If anyone is interested in the next doubles showdown, it is going to be a bit over a week before I post it up, since I'm going on vacation. I think a little break in between is good anyway, to hopefully peak some interest in everyone again when it comes back.

I get that alot.

i had to make it,

but i'm probably not gonna use it.

I was thinking along the lines of Dr. Seuss or Mother Goose type stories (all levels of appropriateness welcome), where you guys write 'em, and an artist from the art forum does the illustrations. We'd throw a few together and submit (a few to ensure that all Writers and Artists are coauthored). We could pick a day, say ...sometime in January? Sort of like a clock or madness day... we could even have a custom preloader, narration, and use that page turning animation thingy, you know the one! :P

I just think it could be a great opportunity for people that don't know flash but have amazing writing/illustrating skills to get some love!! ...what do you think? good idea? ...horrible idea?? ...no one cares?

Above is a post I made in the writers club/crew thread. Figured I'd throw it in here too to see if it's something anyone would actually be interested in ...from an illustration standpoint. There were no takers on the writers side, so we might have to write our own shit. Comments?

holy shitdicks someone posted in here..

anyways, I like the idea..
