Introducing The Crimson Crucible !!
#1



"The strongest steel is forged in the hottest fire"


The Crimson Crucible is a new regular competition we will be running, where daggers (and others!) can develop their skills under the transformative fire of an intense challenge. 

Crucible challenges will be focused on developing one folio-ready piece a month while working on a brief, under a strict deadline, similar to what might be asked of you as a professional in the entertainment industry. You will generally have 3 weeks to do your work, and a week to implement feedback and crits before the next challenge begins.

Your reward will be the warm inner glow that comes from forging new skills, smashing past your old limits and reaching towards new heights.  If you persevere you also end up with a folio piece each month.

If that wasn't enough, we are very excited to announce a special treat for you guys.  We have lined up some professional guest judges (and hope to keep them coming) to join us in a live critique stream at the end of each challenge!  If you participate, do the work, and submit a final you have a good shot at getting some personal critique from an Übermensch Artist!

Crucible Blog
There is now a blog dedicated to the challenges which we will be updating and featuring winners on as well: https://crimsoncrucible.wordpress.com/

First Challenge
The first challenge will be posted around Saturday March 12th, and will have a deadline of two weeks, as a test and to iron out any issues. We want to begin monthly challenges in April.  Browse the rules thread to get an idea of how we see it working.  Please feel free to give us your thoughts and feedback before we begin. 

We would like to acknowledge Dave and Dan's awesome work on Bloodsports from which we have drawn much of the format and inspiration from.   We have been in touch with them, and they have given us their blessings to stoke some new fire into the community!
