well the whole idea is not set in stone. I think it best to spread the love around and see what people think.
I think tho the 1 week limit is a good idea for the following reasons;
A) It forces you to work fast, and to focus, and to describe the world using the most significant and interesting aspects. Rather than trying to create EVERYTHING in a world u are more like providing a screenshot of the world, like a few places, a few animals etc.
B) It forces you to come up with new ideas EVERY WEEK. Creating a new world every week has to be good for your creative thinking.
C) It forces you to paint things fast, which i think (tho am not sure) is pretty essential in Concept art. (less in illustration)
Thanks for the input guys its very cool, u know if u wanted to start something off go right ahead, atm im reall just thinking about the mechanics about how this would work....
Like when setting up a brief for a world design what would you include?
I was thinking (Example)
Planetary Name: sol 696
Planetary Age: 25 bilion years etc
Major civilization(s): Yes/No (how many etc)
Technology Level: Medieval (scifi etc)
World description: Mountainous, with active volcanoes and Extreme weather conditions
Wut u guys think, anyhting to add/remove?
Edit: also im with u guys, shit i couldnt do this is 1 week. but maybe aiming for 1 week is a good idea? or maybe make it longer like 2 weeks?
i dunno
