INTRO
armaina Here, this is the first year of the Dreamwidth mirror of ArtSlam and I hope everyone has fun! I've decided to match the original site as much as possible to keep things cohesive. With the rise in Dreamwidth users I hope it'll be just as fun over here as well as provide a place for those that left Livejournal.

FYI
Just to make sure it's clear, you can find the original community and all it's really awesome backlog at artslam

The LJ team for ArtSlam has also set up a Discord server if you'd like to join
https://discord.gg/RJe8Rt3

Additionally there is a Tumblr Mirror ArtSlam on Tumblr

There is also a sister Tumblr over at WordJam if you'd like to have a go just at writing. The WordJam aspect will be more relaxed than NaNoWriMo standards: there will be no hard limits that you have to meet. There is no Word Jam community on LJ or DW as far as I'm aware of but if anyone has something like it I wouldn't mind plugging it at all here.

ABOUT ARTSLAM
ArtSlam runs from June 1st to August 31st, providing a summer-long challenge that is simple on the surface: draw something every day. For this community, we prefer that you pick a concept and stick with it for at least one month. If you have a world that you want to explore with art, or a set of characters, this is a great place to do it! If you're shaky with perspective, background art, anatomy, or just really want to draw 30 pandas, you can hone your focus that-a-way, too.

What constitutes 'a drawing a day'? A sketch works -- preferably one where we can see what you're trying to communicate. Finishing an image takes more time, so noticeable progress on a single piece works, too.
Fill this info out and post it up as a comment, please! I'll begin adding new users tags to our list for June 1st. In the meantime, check back and leave comments as you like!

<B>Username:</B> <user name=insert username here> <b>Goal at ArtSlam signup:</b> Insert difficulty rating here: Hard (3 Months), Medium (2 Months), Easy (1 Month). You can change this towards the end of June or July if you like. One concept == one challenge, so switching means you'll be doing two or three different challenges. <b>Links:</b> Insert any pertaining links to other galleries: <a href="">dA</a>|<a href="">FA</a>|<a href="">Personal Site</a>|<a href="">Sketchblog</a>|<a href="">Tumblr</a> <b>Concept:</b> Tell us about your project for your first challenge or potentially all challenges -- stay positive: you'll do awesomely. :D (Just for fun and pre-slam discussion -- feel free to fill these out or delete them, or add topics of your own if you'd like to talk about something else.) <b>Who is your favourite artist or author? Links?:</b> <b>When did you start drawing? What do you love about it the most?:</b> <b>Any shout outs in particular for other ArtSlammers this year?:</b> <b>What's one thing you'd like to improve in the most over this summer?:</b> <b>Have you participated in past ArtSlams?

MOD STUFF
For the moment it's only armaina as a mod, but if any LJ users with accounts here would like to mod here as well please let me know, you're welcome to help mod. As I remain the only person at the moment, achievements might be slow but I'll keep on it best I can. If anyone else thinks they can volunteer I would appreciate it. Tasks would be to make sure nothing outside of guidelines are posted and that tags are kept orderly as well as helping keep up with achievements.
