BAN Exercise #4 *Please Read!*

Journal Entry: Sat Aug 25, 2007, 10:09 PM
  • Mood: Pride


There are new submissions up, as per usual with a new journal, so do go ahead and check it out.

**Please read**
Here's an update on some guidelines for the activities:
Now guys, the point of the exercises is for you to actually use your noggins and create something for the group. That said, I'm going to ask that all exercise submissions are created for the activity, and not just pulled from the back of your gallery.

I appreciate that you all have art that can at times apply to the theme, but please, actually be active and create for the group. I will no longer accept submissions that weren't created for the current theme.

Thanks for reading!

Also, at the end of this month, I'll be changing the exercise theme. This next one will attract a lot of attention from a good number of you, so keep your creative beans flexed! ;)

Exercise #4: Heat
Alright, here's the next exercise folks! This time, I'd like for you all to make something interpreting the word, "heat". It can be in whatever medium you wish. Writing, of course, is always welcome. :)

Like the last exercise, your work will be featured here in the journal for everyone to see. So make sure that what you produce is something you'd want a whooole lot of people to see featured, because the traffic here is pretty lovely.



Black Artists' Vibe #6: Collaboration
The second activity this time around involves your cooperation with another person or persons in the group. So don't be shy! Talk it up with some folks. Take a look at the Membership List, find someone who's active, and send them a message asking for a collab. If you don't know what you want to do, it's cool. You could actually make this part of the activity tie in with the "heat" exercise and just put together something for that theme with someone.


Submissions!
:bulletblue: Heat by ~teraissa -These lines are gorgeously smooth! Great work Teraissa!!

:bulletblue: Dharma the Limbless Warrior by *NCWeber (seen in his sister account, *Afrodisium) -Well check this out! You don't see this type of character every day, that's for sure. Check out this one and read the description. It's worth it. :nod:

:bulletblue: Her Heat by =OnederBred -What a gorgeous deviation! People, please do yourself a favor and full view this. Then sit down and read the wonderful words that accompany this piece.

:bulletblue: Intense Heat by *Zahrah -Goodness gracious, our members are a talented bunch, aren't they? You can even download a larger version from the original deviation link and revel in the goodness of this deviation.

:bulletblue: Heat-Seeker : Prose + Airbrush: by ~peechee-keen -A pretty pair of eyes to go with a bit of lovely prose. Run on over and give this piece a good look! It's totally deserving of such.

:bulletblue: Heat by =keiththedraw -Whew! I think this piece definitely has heat as the subject, don't you? Haha! This is a fun and lighthearted drawing that you all should check out!

:bulletblue: Summer Heat, What to Do? by ~icekyo -Ah yes, we all think of swimsuits and beach fun when we think of the summer heat. Great job illustrating (and with a cat girl, no less) this idea for us ~icekyo!

:bulletblue: Summer Heat, What to Do? by ~Lillmissthang -This is a really fun piece! I love the pixelated look, along with the color and dynamics. Also folks, take note of the heroes. That's a hint at your next group activity! ;)

:bulletblue: Red Light by *samadhimercer -You just can't deny a strong portrait with a bit of color added to the light. Yes indeedy!

:bulletblue: Combustion by ~Shinart -This is quite a fun submission! The manip of line and color added to the lovely lady are great fun and just all around hotness.

:bulletblue: Older Eve at the Beach by ~black-shaddow-walker -Very interesting pose with an..interesting background. That's some heat going on in her hair though! Better watch that closely. :lol:

:bulletred: :bulletred: :bulletred:
You can now join each other in some dAmn chat here! You can also search for BANetwork, and that'll bring up the chatroom as well. I'll eventually go through and add those in our memberlist to the memberlist of the chatroom, so you'll have priveledges over that of a guest. ;)

sounds like fun!

i think we should start taking submissions... and placing them in the gallery... i mean, stead of just showing them in the journal... these ARE being done for the community, so i think why not? just a randomish thought...

Wow...I'd love to put in a recent work for that, but a.) it's in my "mature" account, and .b) I don't really like using old stuff (even if it's only a couple weeks old). I'll see what else I can do.

why not?! the gallery looks so empty and "fake"-ish with only having a bunch of faves... makes it look less like a community, nad more like one person who's just faving alot of stuff...

speaking of faves, ive not been suggesting much stuff lately... i guess 'cause im not on here as much, nor do i surf as much when i am... we need more people suggesting things on the front page, esp now since we can go back in the comments history...

How mature are we talkin? Like, arse all out and t's a dangling? Or just suggestive content?

If it's not horrible, I'd be cool with it.

Actually, this character is fully clothed, but marked mature for different reasons that could be seen as controversial. She has no arms and no legs, a full amputee. Perhaps if you looked at this picture [link] and read this story [link] you'd see what I mean.

I'm fine with it if you are! I'll mark the deviation as mature here. I'll go ahead and submit it to the group and add it to the journal. :D
