INTRO
armaina Here, second year of the Dreamwidth mirror of ArtSlam and I hope to follow this better than I did last year. Still could use additional mods on this side of Art Slam if possible. But at least this time around I can focus on the community management itself and not just the initial setup.
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!
MOD STUFF
the DW side of ArtSlam still only has one mod,
armaina. If it remains only myself I might not do Achievements this year and instead, simply focus on the interaction of those within the community, to keep a dialog going.
