Hey Daggers.
You might know The Skillful Huntsman book: three Art Center students (Khang Le, Mike Yamada, Felix Yoon) visually developing a Brothers Grimm tale under Scott Robertson. I'm running an open, community version of that exploration, with two more stories added:
- The Skillful Huntsman (Brothers Grimm), the tale Scott Robertson's Art Center students developed in The Skillful Huntsman book
- Journey to the West (Sun Wukong's long pilgrimage)
- The Road to El Dorado (a road to a city of gold)
Pick one or mash them up. Characters, environments, props, vehicles, keyframes, costume studies, theme, style, genre, or plain self-expression. Any skill level, studies or finished pieces. No deadline. Not a contest.
Why a group (this group): Daggers has always run on one idea: if the thing you want doesn't exist, make it. The bloodsports showed that a shared brief builds portfolios, and a big shared body of work gets seen, written about, and shown in ways one sketchbook rarely does. (The last one, Endless Summer / Perfect Pitch, is where Jacob Janerka's Paradigm started.) Also, I miss og forum groups and i resonate with this forum site specifically lol
Side note: I'm pairing some of my own physical pieces and other “expressions” of this project (physical knick knacks and other “subjective instances” of this viz dev project…viz dev *meditation*) with an NFT eventually. They will be used the way the tech was initially conceptualized, as a certificate of authenticity…but with a huge improvement: real money inside, *and giving them away*.
Yes, for free.
No strings.
That's *my* project, not a requirement for anyone.
Of course, your art stays yours. Nothing you post gets minted, sold, or used without your say. There's nothing to buy, and I will never ask anyone for a wallet, a recovery phrase, a signature, or money.
I'll explain how that works a little at a time, in short posts, so nobody has to read a wall of text.
Post your work in this thread and tag the story: [HUNTSMAN], [WEST], or [EL DORADO]. Let's make something cool!
