Sonic-Verse JAM

:iconthechamba:

First off, the submissions from the previous jam were incredibly overwhelming!
Great Job everybody who participated!!

Seriously fantastic!

Anyway time for this week's jam!!

On a random Sonic kick (maybe from that Sonic and Knuckles that Royce and I drew last weekend)
WE figured, 'Hey, why not create a Sonic character that's NOT a Hedgehog, or even better, one that has yet to appear in the Game?!'

So that's the one for this week.
Create a Sonic-based/styled character that is based on a creature that has not appeared in the Sonic-world.

RULES
    * Create a character that would FIT in the Sonic Universe

    * If based on an animal (like most of the Sonic characters) Use an animal that has yet to appear (at least in the main video game cast)!

    * Try your best not to just copy Sonic (or any other characters) body and slap a different colour scheme on it

    * If you do end up using an animal that has already appeared in the comics, at the least make it LOOK different from what has already been done

    * Full Color Full Body (digital or traditional)

    * Submit to the "Sonic-Verse" Folder

    * ENJOY!!!!!


Jam ends on:

What's This Place All About???

:iconskratchjams: is where the lads of :iconskratchwork: organise jams that are open to the Public.
Participation and Contributions are open to anyone.

As with the #SKRATCHWORK crew, we set limits for ourselves to push our creativity further. This is necessary to challenge us to do things that we normally wouldn't do; to think outside the box and execute it.

The concept of a JAM is simple. Though it's not exactly what you see some of the #SKRATCHWORK crew do occasionally (i.e. 10-15 minute timed JAMS); it's on a bigger scale. You have 5 days (4 because we're a day behind on this one, heh) to draw up your illo! This means you can go all out within the restrictions! If you mess up, don't submit it and just try again. It's more than enough to get you involved and drawing. :) Everyone will submit one piece a week, and since we're all busy with life, work, etc., that's more than enough time to get involved. :)

At the end of every week on the weekend, there is a special challenge called the Weekend Challenge that one of the #SKRATCHWORK crew members will probably think up. This will usually be some type of looney idea that you have to come up with and draw. For example, if we were to say two words "Bottle" and "Bird", you'd have to draw something related to those two words/subjects. So in that case, I might come up with a drawing of Starfox's Falco drinking a bottle of booze, and =theCHAMBA would draw a bottle with wings and a beak. It's probably the most fun part of each week, as the variety of ideas off those crazy concepts will be pretty awesome.

Every four weeks will have a rotating theme where we (the #SKRATCHWORK crew) will pick a special theme or a character from that theme within that week. The first week's theme will usually be Cartoons/Anime. The second week's would be Movies/Gaming. Third will be Comics/Manga week. And the last week is always OC Week. Other than OC Week, the themes are subject to change every once in a while.

At the end of each month, we will then have OC Week. This will be a JAM on an interpretation of a member's original character picked from a batch of submitted OCs that members will submit. Please note, you can't join this group just to submit OCs. YOU MUST BE ACTIVE FOR YOUR OC TO BE PRESENTED FOR OC WEEK. Meaning that you have to participate regularly (and we can keep track of that, heh) and not sparingly. If you have one submission of some lame lazy chicken scratch under your belt, and you have submitted an OC, you're less likely to get your character picked. Also, each member can submit only ONE OC at a time. If your OC has been picked, you can submit another one in the pool of OCs to pick from. Don't submit more than one OC at a time in the outset. We'll only pick one of them.

The group is just starting out, so once we get *Super Group* status, we can have polls of what characters you want to see in weekly jams, countdown timers to remind you when the current JAM is ending, and extra shiny stuff.

Are we allowed to make suggestions for jams?

you can, but don't feel disheartened (or feel like you've wasted your time) if we don't use them.

Reply
:iconthechamba:
=theCHAMBA Feb 17, 2013
you can't.
the jam folders are only open when the actual jam is in session.
If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask =)

At the risk of being slammed...I'm just asking because I do illos too and I'd love to do those and joined with that intention. However (coma) are CG works within a timeframe allowed. It prolly is a silly question but I thought you don't know if you don't ask. I saw nothing strictly forbidding it but figured--ask.

So...pleasedonthitmetoohard!

Cheers mates!

You can create and upload an image to the whatever the currentjam is, so long as the basic guidelines are followed.
Not entirely sure what question it is you're asking.
Sorry

I recently in the last 2 years got into using Poser and Daz3d but mostly I see hand drawn illos which I've done since 10 so that's not a problem just making sure 3D work is acceptable too.
