--Here's the thing we learned from cc. We had to actively push it and try generate hype, we got judges, participated in supporting each and every wip thread with at least one comment, and then gave crits to everyone at the end. All that effort and entries still only barely got out of single digits some months, though had great participation on others.

--You're right of course Amit. Maybe the key is having longer periods of downtime to give the challenges more of a "happening"-characteristic

--This is the struggle with getting artists on forums to participate without any incentive or hype to push it. It's probably not really a lack of time issue for most. You give people a month, they'll take the whole month to do sweet fa

--Well, we did have a few participants... maybe you could give us some more time. I know I'll finish my entry for this one before I move on to something else

--How about thinking of a proper, interesting brief for CHOW instead of a vague, cliche theme?
21 Apr 11:18
--Crimson CHOW 22 resulted in 'No Contest'. Next challenge will be up on April 28, 2017.

--I think I might still be able to post the chow. xD But it won't be as good as I was hoping.

--I was gonna work on it today but staff called in sick. Now they're asking me if they can work my shift tomorrow haha.. haha... yeah nah. That extra $$ is going towards a holiday.
20 Apr 07:19
--Aaargh! Never enough time in the day - got a load of chores to do before I can sit down and load some art! By then it'll be bed time :(
19 Apr 09:58
--A day and change left for Chow! Still a lot of time to make it! http://crimsondaggers.com/forum/thread-8...12955.html

--You'd think with internet becoming more and more standard globally, these artists would all converge in the most affordable living environment and work via communication.

--A hard working art professional can be property owner, have a car, and go on annual vacations, but they will probably not renovate the whole property and line the roof with solar, drive a Tesla, and get on airplane more than once a year all on their own expense... Tesla cars look cool....

--Oh yea, proko, Jeff Watts, Anthony Jones, and a few other hundred people who worked their ass off for it, just basically homeless

--Yea Sakimichan, Feng Zhu, Stanley Lau, Rapoza: the dude who made this website, and everyone who lives in LA as freelancers are dirt poor
18 Apr 13:58
--Yeah although I sure won't mind being always able to afford a nice comfy apartment and good food, lol! But art calls, and I answer like an addict.
18 Apr 07:50
--Doing art makes you rich inside your soul - something more valuable than financial wealth. Cheesy but what the heck :).
18 Apr 02:09
--Who said they want to be rich doing art? They need to watch more talks from professional conference.
17 Apr 18:33
--Sarcasm aside, Nous is right though, it ain't easy; Art, especially becoming a freelancer, is not for the weak minded or someone who pussies out easily. I will concede that. :)
17 Apr 18:29
--Yeah money is overwhelmingly a force for good in the world. Let us be slaves to the art no more!
17 Apr 17:32
--Great advice Amit, money is everything in life. I agree. I'm gonna go back to Computer Engineering.
17 Apr 11:53
--Great advice Nous. Always bringing dat value add. I must have been a moron to leave my 6 figure IT career to do art. gonna go back to it immediately
