Graphic Artists' Artworm



This is an idea that I've had and shared with many other people, an artworm. But now instead of this being a sole idea for the classes, I think it should be made into an offical thread and declaration. I feel that we should set up and go through with an artworm.

What is an artworm?
An artworm is a large document that expands and expands depending on the amount of people working on it. One person starts with a large piece then hands it to another. They then have to blend together their piece to the one before and so on. It can continue so that people get 2 or even 3 turns to add their work in.
Example: Tripod by ~chray on deviantART

How will we start?
This can be the beginnig of the whole process, as a sign up thread. This will then move on into the posting thread for the updates on it.

How does this work?
Once a person is done with their part, they should either a) upload it onto a photo hosting site or b) upload the .psd to a file hosting site. Doing on or the other will either help or hurt the next person up, and it's easier for them if you give them the .psd, though it's not required.

Whoever wants to sign up for this do so by posting in this thread.

600 x 400 is the document size.

Sounds like a cool idea, but I'm not up for it. I have a hard enough time working on stuff just by myself.

Awesome idea. Since my Internet access is questionable, I probably shouldn't join though - I would hate to commit and then not be able to get online. ;_;

But I'd love to see a ZU artworm.

We can wait for people to sign up and then either wait a bit for people to return or put you at the bottom of the list.

You could join and if you're not available, again either wait a bit or we could skip you and you could all stuff in later.

I'm interested but not sure, will think about it. I think I may have hit a block already though.

I remember trying to start something like this a while back, a collaboration of some sort. Didn't work out too well in the end.

Gimmie a shout if you have more people involved, I'll see how this turns out.

Ok I figured that there had been enough time for people to see this, so I started to randomly assign people. If you wish to have your name placed somewhere else, then please say so, other than that, I will post the first section which then will be worked on by the first person on the list. The official size for each document will be 600 x 400. Any objections can be debated out with that size.

GO GO GO.

List:
Cobra
m.z.
Frozen
Umi
DSL9
Blue
Yami

So does that mean that Cobra will make the next part, then me, then Frozen, then Umi, etc?

Yes.

Although with the one DSL9 originally linked to with 3 people, that one seemed to flow more due to multiple parts done by the same person, especially at the end.

Perhaps a second time round would be nice?

Yes, this is the set list of rotation now. We can do it as many times as we like.

So, like, when it's the next person's turn, will the former artist pass along a .PSD file or something? Do all of us have Photoshop? Oh, and will there be a time limit for each person? No one should be rushed, but it would suck if one person took like a month to get their part completed.

I'd say both a high quality .jpeg and a .tiff/.psd file be uploaded.

People that are done with their part should upload a .psd and make a .png/.jpeg of the pic aswell. I'm hoping that everyone here has Photoshop but if they don't then they won't get the advantage of layers.

I've done this before. Here's what we usually did:


The first person who starts posts their .PNG, and a .PSD after it, so the next person can use it to combine the pieces if need be.

the latest version of GIMP supports the .PSD file extension, it shouldn't be a problem viewing them.
