Fanart-a-thon #2 suggestion page!

Alright, so I'm deffinately going to host a new fanart-a-thon sometime in the near future.
But first...
There are a few things we need to iron out, that caused hitches in the first, trial one. (:

So this post is made for people to post their idea, on how to make the fanart-a-thon work more smoothly.

FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW...
The Endless forest fanart-a-thon is a giant exchange of fanart! Each person that signs up, gets assigned one week. Each week, all of the other participants, draw a fanart image, for the person who's week it is. Get it? Got it? Great! Laughing out loud

This time around things will be a bit different:

1) Only people who have been ACTIVE members of TEF for 3 months will be alowed to join. Yes... This knocks alot of people out of the running, but it's important. Last time quite a few people joined who dropped out, or ran off.

2) If you drop out or run off, without a good reason, (Example of a good reason: A shark ate your drawing hand) then you will be banned from participating in any other fanart-a-thon events. Sorry. ):

3) If you have not completed all of your art for the weeks that have passed, you will not be eligible to recieve your own week, until you have caught yourself up. The people with the best track records will be the most likely to recieve their week earlier than others.

4) I will be capping off the number of participants this time. Between 10 and 15... You guys vote and leet me know what number you think is appropriet.

If anyone has other rules to suggest, please let me know and if they're legitimately important, I'll add them to the list. (:

Also!
A few people have asked if they can enter writting instead of art for the fanart-a-thon... Personally I think that maybe the writting would be better suited for another event... But I'll let you guys descide. If you make a comment, please vot yes or no, to allow people to enter writting instead of art.

Fanart-a-thon 1 comes to an end?

It seems there are no more people who are eligable to have their own fanart weeks! Shocked

There are a few people who are 1 or 2 pieces behind, and I hope you guys finish up. (:

I'd say this wasn't a complete failure of an organized event! Plenty of people made a good effort to finish everything, and do a good job. (:

Alot of people, improved their art by alot in just a little bit of time, by participating in this event! Good job guys!

Next Wednsday, I will post links to folders for each person's fanart-a-thon week. You can download the folders to make sure you recieved ALL of your fanart-a-thon art!


Now... There will be another fanart-a-thon soon. Rules will be slightly different, and I'm not sure when it will begin. Just keep an eye out, if you're interested, and I'll make an announcement when sign-ups will begin, and a list of rule! Sticking out tongue

Thanks for making this fanart-a-thon pretty successful guys! Laughing out loud

Fanart-a-thon week 17!

It's coming down to the wire now kids!
There is only ONE person right now, who has completed all of their art...
And that person is..

ME! Shocked
Yes children, I finally get a week of my own. I figured it would only be fair to wait as long as possible for my own week, since I'm the one picking the weeks. Sticking out tongue
Anywho, here's a few references for you guys!

Fanart-a-thon week... 13? WHAT WEEK IS THIS!?

I think it's week 13! Lol.

I'm glad that some of you have stuck along with this for so long.

There's a few people that I'm rather dissapointed in... A few people who have already HAD their weeks, and are -very- behind in their art. ):

However, there are on the other hand, many people I am -very- proud of, people who are missing NO art, and haven't even had their week yet! (:

Here's this week's subject...


SABLE'S 88! Laughing out loud

Get drawin' kids!

Male/Female/Offspring Deer Terminology

Just because I see alot of people miss-labling their deer. Sticking out tongue

Here's the way it goes:

"For most deer the male is called a buck and the female is a doe, according to the size of the species. For many medium-sized deer the male is a stag and the female a hind, while for many larger deer the same words are used as for cattle: bull and cow. Terms for young deer vary similarly, with that of most being called a fawn and that of the larger species calf; young of the smallest kinds may be a kid. A group of deer of any kind is a herd. Usage of all these terms may also vary according to dialect. The adjective of relation pertaining to deer is cervine; like the family name "Cervidae" this is from Latin cervus, "deer."

The word 'hart' is an old alternative word for "stag", especially in a (British) Medieval hunting context."

So yes.
If your deer is a whitetail or a deer of similar size, also including many smaller deer, it's either a doe, a buck, or a fawn.

If your deer is slightly larger, fitting into the 'medium' size catagory, it is a stag, hind, or a fawn.

If your deer is HUGEEE, like a moose, it is either a bull, a cow, or a calf.

OKAY? <3
