Art-Telephone: Someone interested in playing?

[wavewright62]

The one & only art telephone I've participated in (on the Discord server, it's a role you can ask for if you want to participate when one comes around) featured a *ahem* range of artists, and also artists were challenged to draw elements they normally wouldn't, like tech or furniture or people or all of those in one drawing.  More experienced artists also can struggle with a tight turnaround. 

And none of that matters.  The journey was the fun bit.

Yes, I understand. My apologies for misunderstanding the aim of the game, and I'm also sorry if my post made anyone confused about what this game is supposed to be about.

No worries. I´m not the absolute best explainer, I see where the misinterpretation happened. ^^'

If someone set up a hybrid game, then I would totally sign up.

Could also sign up for art game if terrible art is allowed.

Terrible art is absolutely allowed. This is first and foremost a memory-game, not a who-draws-the-nicest-picture-game. Like Wave said, it´s about having fun, not being perfect.
So may I write you down into the participants-list then?

And for the hybrid-game, I agree that that would be a fun thing too and I´d be in if someone set it up! But since such challenges require a slight bit more organisation than just writing the first post, I don´t think I have the time to host both at once. If someone else wanted to do it though, go ahead!

Suuuuuure I will do it.

Also - if everybody playing art telephone had perfect memory and amazing art skills, it wouldn't be any fun! The point of art telephone is to see how the artwork changes, and that can't happen if it all goes perfectly.

Was here checking back on the forum after a while and this sounds fun. Is it too late to join up?

[Mirasol]

Absolutely not, MollyVampiric. Welcome on board!

Alrighty, we´re 7 people now in total. Unless someone wants to join by tomorrow, I think that´s enough to get a pretty good game. I´ll wait for another day, then I´ll send out the starting picture to catbirds. I´m so happy so many people want to play!

[tehta]

I am not sure I WANT to play. But I have been working on accepting my many imperfections recently, am very, very curious as to how this will work out.

[Mirasol]

Hey, you´ll do great, tehta! I´m sure! I hope you´ll still find fun in the game. But if you really don´t feel up to it, you can always still opt out when it´s your turn, though I do hope you´ll stay with us.

That being said, I declare signups for Round 1 officially closed now!
I have just sent catbirds the starting-picture. Let´s get the ball rolling!

I (or you if you feel like it) will give updates every now and then whose turn it is right now so the other players can get ready for when it´s theirs. I´ll probably at least mark it in the participants-list in the first post, and every now and then write a new post.

[wavewright62]

Woo-hoo!  and YoinkTober starts tomorrow, too! 

[Mirasol]

I´m proud to announce that we´re more than halfway there! (I was going to do an update at half, but then you were faster than me and had already finished the next piece! :'D )
I can´t wait for the final reveal!

[Mirasol]

The time has come for  The Grand Reveal  !

Aaah, I can´t believe this all worked so well! Thank you so much again to everyone who participated! I loved getting to see the gradual change of the original picture with every contribution I got, and I hope you feel the same when you get to see them all side by side now. I hope you had as much fun as I had!

And without further ado, I present you the pictures:

Original picture: me



Player 1: catbirds



Player 2: moredhel



Player 3: Keep Looking



Player 4: wavewright62



Player 5: tehta



Player 6: MollyVampiric



From a witch losing their magic wand over one being chased by magic flashes to one with a firey broom caught in the rain. The pose pretty much remained the same (wow, you all had a really good memory!), but its context shifted quite a bit.
Let me just say all of your pictures turned out so amazing and I´m incredibly honored you were on board with redrawing my silly character! (In case you´re wondering, yes, they´re one of the witches I invented during YoinkTober last year. ) I can only throw more thank yous and cookies at you!

I´ll add a direct comparison of the first and the last picture under a spoiler if you want to see them right next to each other and look how much has changed.

Spoiler: comparison • show

Ok, I´ll stop gushing now and let you have a look for yourself. :'D

[MollyVampiric]

Woah! Everyone did so well! That was super fun, sign me up for the next one whenever that is!

[Jitter]

Great work all! It changed less than I would have imagined!

[moredhel]

so many nice pictures. And I would never have thought that 2 Minutes are that short.

[wavewright62]

Whee, what fun!
Again, again!
