--oh....yeah i understand that. personally, i was holding out posting in the WIP thread, just for my weird little reasons. perhaps there are others who are simply waiting to post until the last week, at least?

--I actually have got on the list that we do a team-based challenge, where people join up and work together on a brief. :) We might keep that one for when we get a few more people regularly joining. I mean it's great there are between 15 and 30 finals in the challenges so far, but on a site of 4k+ users....we could do better or it's going to be like tumbleweed town in the wip threads

--Assigning a gang of people to a random group and being assigned a brief to tackle as a team... Could simulate the experience of working in-house.

--yeahhhh my god. a mini concept challenge. i remember listening to an interview where a client wanted 400 character concepts finished between marko and wes back when marko worked at MBlooooool would be interesting to have stuff like this. but the crucibles are definitely dope on their own
21 May 13:24
--but then I thought if that would be impossible, how about a Team based Crimson crucible challenge where a group will be split into 2 and collaborate on a brief working ultimately into a Piece (or pieces).

--it'll be dope if there was a crimson daggers inspired outsourcing studio, where we all worked on one IP. folks like amit, piotr etc would art direct :3. fine i'll shut up and get back to werrkugh

--a lot of art block or paralysis comes from not laying out a sort of plan or itinerary for the next day or even the next moment/hour. yesterday i didnt plan on staying home and as a result, when trying to draw, i felt blanked out. idk, this helps me.

--Keep on pushing and practicing daggers :) and for those who need a little boost https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6iPH1gsYVY

--@zest Life will always be a confusion. And that's okay. In my case, I am gonna be doing design as main work while improving on art on the side.

--@Eyli Of course! Putting up a deathline is like making a pact with the devil. Devil in the guise of either Dan or Dave!

--@zest: why you have to study engineering? Can't go to artschool? Anyways, I'm doing the same :)

--@John; damn it! I'll make a check calendar that I can use to cross days off and put it in the deathlines.. I really don't like deathlines :p

--I actually want to get started with oils as well ^^ Made this deal; 60 days, drawing every day. Than I can buy oils. For every day I miss, I have to continue 2 days longer

--Yeah, you all seem to think so :P I just have no clue how to paint digital :D

--@Eyli Yeah. At the beginning, playing at hardcore difficulty while everyone else is playing at normal. Has anyone ever pointed out how insane it is to bust out watercolors in CC? Haha!

--@Zest; Just give it a try. I'm still at the very beginnng as well, but you learn so much by applying studies into a real piece. I mean, what use is studying anatomy/perspective if you can't put it into practice :)

--Haha! Sounds to me that's a job not worth holding on to! Good luck with the tournament!
