Project 52

Ok, it's not really gonna be 365 because for sigs, that's a ton. D=

I'm thinking of doing a sig a week (Project 52) and making a sig a week.
I really want to get better at sigs, and hopefully soon, lps. (Because who wants sigs for their company?)
And I get really lazy when it comes to making sigs.

It'd be totally awesome if someone would join me, or all of AC.

So, who'd like to join me?

Edit:
Lol, I just realized this would be like Sig Wars, woops!

Ok any ideas to make it fresh and totally creative?



Rules are; there are no rules.
No themes, no competition.
Just get it in within a week and that's your first week; next week you do your second and that's your second.

Hope that answers both of you.

1)Post any new sig (made that week) you want. No more than one. Any level of talent is welcome to post.

2)Include an explanation or inspiration, and any music or video you wish. (youtube in spoilers please).

3)Feel free to ask questions and be prepared to take criticism. That said, let's keep it constructive and friendly, ok?

4)Since this will be an open forum to discuss techniques and the like, you should identify your new sig contribution with the week number in bold at the "huge" font size.

Week one starts on Sunday 18 April, 2010.



Our Work!

On dA there was some kind of a meme some time ago it was called "100 picture challange"

This were the rules,
ofcourse you need to edit the rules a bit because it was made for full drawings and not for signatures + you probably don't care about point 5,6 and 7

1.) Make 100 art entries, each pic having a theme listed below. Each pic should have ONE and only ONE theme to it, for it to count.

2.) No time limit so have fun

3.) The main picture should be drawn by you, or involve photos taken by you for the purpose of this challenge. No old art! It should all be newly made for this meme!

4.) Pics should be your own. You may not edit photos, or break any other rules set out in the DA etiquette policy. Your pics can be anything from sketches and doodles to great master pieces. Just have fun with it.

5.) The list below is to be placed somewhere in your journal for others to see that......
A.)You are in the challenge
B.)What you have completed

6.) make sure to update this list and check off what is done and make a link to the pic

7.) In the title/info for your artwork, note if it is part of the list and what one theme it is.

Maybe we could do it every month and each person needs to make 4 sigs and 4 LP's by the end of the month.(1 of each every Week)

At the end of the month you would have to upload your work and then we will vote.

This way it doesn't take a whole year :) and we can have more contests. Plus if you compete in everyone you will end up making 1 sig per week.

That is a lot of work.

Maybe 2 sigs and 2 LP's a month, on alternating weeks?

tbh, we need more than just AC judging these. We need to publicize this. Maybe some friendly spam in GD and OT? tbh, we need more than just AC judging these.

I always have a link of some sort in my sig, Currently: Vote for Sig of the Week But, I'm not sure of the effectiveness.

Yea 2 of each does sound better. And I'm sure if we posted in OTL we could get a few more voters. Maybe we could make a group or something on deviantART and try and get people watching us there and maybe they will vote eventually.

Just something fun to do and keep track of the stuff.

Here's some instructions.

1)Post any new sig (made that week) you want. No more than one. Any level of talent is welcome to post.

2)Include an explanation or inspiration, and any music or video you wish. (youtube in spoilers please).

3)Feel free to ask questions and be prepared to take criticism. That said, let's keep it constructive and friendly, ok?

You might want to start by posting in the AC. You will probably get more attention and comments and criticism there.

This is a kind of catalog of 2010-2011 sigs. If you dont want your first sigs included here you should definitely post them in a new topic right here in the AC. Good Luck! Feel free to ask questions. That reminds me, I have a tut from Fringe that I would like to post.

Well, I used to be working on guild emblems and into-silkroad stuff. But since I don't play anymore, and I want to continue photoshop I'll be posting here. If you can find it, it would be cool if you'd post it here.

Ok, so the woman on the right isn't looking at the guy on the left. Maybe some alignment issues there.

Otherwise, you could try to darken it up a bit.

BTW, since we have confirmed that it should be Project 52, should we change the name of the topic?
