Design Democracy
 
A little community activity, and a test for me because I like drawing weird shit. I haven't got a tablet (yet) so this'll be quite rough, but who knows, if this goes well enough I might buy one.

The games will proceed as follows:

I will create an object based on the suggestions of members. It might end up as anything - monster, alien, spaceship, or maybe a strange item of furniture - but every change will have been suggested.

Note that no other changes will be made. "Give it wings" is all very well, but those wings will just be triangles until someone says "Make them curvier" or "Give them feathers".

I will only take the first suggestion between pictures, for the sake of avoiding arguments and preserving my sanity. The downside is you might have to repeat your request a few times.

If you already see a request since the last image, save your time - don't request! Somehow people seem to find a way of having conversations about this junk, that's fine. You can post as much as you want (within reason), but I'm only going to work on one addition at a time.

I am honour-bound to fulfil any request. Please do not abuse this power. I use ImageShack to host these. If they get too gross, they'll get deleted - if Splat hasn't deleted them from Fan Corner first.

As the frequenters of this thread have learnt, the length of time I pad something out for goes up exponentially as the degree of change increases. Someone *CoughSplatCough* asked me to draw half a city once, on 12th November 2011, and it took me until 25th of May 2012 to complete. For the record, I don't mind drawing a city for you guys, I'd just rather do it one piece at a time; it just seems a little unfair for one person to (inadvertently) rob a dozen people of their requests by asking for something massive. On the other hand, I can often do a couple of small requests in a day, and be able to show you all the results. So, to conclude, NEVER ask for a big change in one go, and the smaller you make your requested change, the better.

The round will end, and will only end (barring my death), when I recieve two consecutive requests to end it. This, I decided, was balanced. A round can be ended quickly by two people who want it to end, while a sufficiently devoted opponent can butt in to keep it going with any drawing-based request.

When a round ends, no further suggestions will be taken I will produce both a vertical panorama image to show the progression of the round, and a hand-drawn image of The Thing to illustrate it in more realistic terms. So don't worry about providing either of these things yourself. I prefer to use the scanner at school, though, so if it's a school holiday the picture might take a while to get to you ;)

That concludes the rules.

Why am I doing this? Because whenever I do a community project based on other people doing the work, it tends to fail miserably (though this almost did). Also because I hate doing homework and love procrastinating. Also some shizzle about testing my artistic ability. And also, BECAUSE I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH.

ROUND 1:

Here is your clay, people! Give it your sculptor's commands!

One of them needs a foot.

An umbilical cord connecting those two scrotum like balls together.

Still high of Issac man.

Charming. But it lacks a way to communicate… please give it a large, full-lipped mouth.

MeechMunchie 11-03-2011 11:02 AM

Which one?

StrangerEastwood 11-03-2011 11:23 AM

Give each one hand with three fingers and two thumbs. As grotesque as possible, please. The one without a foot should be standing on it's hand.

I'll only take the first suggestion between pictures, or this could get confusing. The downside is you might have to repeat your request a few times.

enchilado 11-03-2011 12:38 PM

Which one? Oh… the left one, I guess.

MeechMunchie 11-03-2011 02:11 PM

The first version of the mouth was better, but GIMP screwed up the save.

It needs eyes. Slightly cross eyed and set on stalks on top of the ball with the foot.

Mudokon_Master 11-03-2011 09:25 PM

What sordid monstrosity are we creating?

MeechMunchie 11-04-2011 12:09 AM

Their sordid monstrosity.

Mudokon_Master 11-04-2011 12:19 AM

It needs an abnormal growth protruding from the right ball in the shape of a tit.

Give it twelve jointed legs on the left ball, each of which is far longer than the right leg.

MeechMunchie 11-05-2011 03:11 PM

... I'm not sure twelve will fit.

Oddey 11-06-2011 12:20 AM

Four and a half then.

MeechMunchie 11-06-2011 04:32 AM

I zoom in when drawing detail so they ended up a bit shorter than I intended.

You should put a line in the background, to simulate that it isn't floating and would give us the basis to do the background as well.

Every horrible, grotesque testicular creature needs a suiting background.

Oddey 11-06-2011 06:30 AM

I am quite pleased with those new legs.

I never said you couldn't have colours.

Just saying. If you think it looks better this way, that's fine too. Maybe leave it until the end.

Mudokon_Master 11-06-2011 12:43 PM

I prefer it without colour actually.

At this rate ImageShack'll start deleting my pictures.

Maybe do something about that foot.

Dipstikk 11-07-2011 12:01 PM

Give the ball with the eyes Robotnik's nose and mustache.

It's not my place to deny a request, but someone could suggest I get rid of it...
