Just curious if anyone here would like to do an art jam or two. I love them, because they get the creative juices flowing. I noticed a couple were posted, and I don't want to do anything that no one will participate in. I think a low investment level is fine. Sketches and doodles are ok, in other words. I'm thinking one of three formats:
1. Themed jam -- the ordinary kind. Pick some topic and draw from it
2. "Continuous" jam -- a topic is started, and the drawing passes from one artist to another, each of whom adds his/her own touch
3. Comic jam -- each artist draws a panel (kind of like the MS paint thread)
Anyone interested?

But I like my pencils.
Or maybe I'll finally give this fancy-shmancy tablet the ol' college try.
I could do that if my laptop decides to cooperate with photoshop

Cool. So how about we go with number 1. Let's set a theme and a deadline then. Any ideas on theme, or should I call one?

Hmm, since it's the first, we should pick a good, classy theme.
The Brothers Grimm fairy tales
All-time great heroes as villains and vice-versa
A history of Halforum
Great video game characters
Just a couple ideas.

Count me in as well. No ideas for a theme though myself.

I like history of Halforums as a starting theme. I know it's internal and all, but it might be fun to play with. How about that (as a themed, traditional jam), and we can go for, let's say a week? Shorter? Not sure what you guys are used to.

I'm not used to anything, hehe.
Do you mean let's all have something done and posted by, let's say, Friday February 19th?

The 19th seems to be a good date. Then someone can paste it together. We gotta pick images though - lest we produce a swarm of angry Kurtzes.

I finally came up with a couple decent ideas. One of 'em is a little more obvious but only involves drawing two people of whom I have a ton of photo reference. The other is (I think) a cooler idea but involves drawing 8 people basically from memory.
I guess we'll see how motivated I am tomorrow.

Nice. Is he hiding his red cup?

He kind of looks like someone took his red cup, and they're gonna lose their ass for it.

I contemplated drawing Juski's red cup but then remembered I had ALREADY DONE THAT DRAWING.

True, true. Anyway, the picture is freakin cool. I like the criss-crossy way you color in.
