Suggestions for Monthly Challenge Brief

"the shorter challenges should be the open themed ones -- not enough participation to keep 2 or 3 different sets of challenges going"

Well perhaps your not getting more participants in the monthly because it isn't open concept - one of the reasons I have not been too interested, Its also something that has been mentioned to me by another member...so something to keep in mind.

Anyways- opened themed suggestions for the monthly (probably not gonna do the shorter ones because of work)

"The forsaken ones."

"The last stand."

"I'll see you on the other side."

For a monthly halloween theme ---open concept ideas

1 "There will be blood."

2 "I'll be right back. Dun Dun Dun"

3 "Claws and teeth and a pinch of pain."

4 "Blood moon."

5 "Mystics"

6 "The dark sacrament"

7 "Shadow magic"

8 "As it is above so it is below"

9 "Candle Magick"

10 "Haunted Ouija board"

11 "Demonic possession"

12 "Slender man"

....just a few ideas

Are members allowed to start their own challenges independently?

What if he had a fun side challenge this month. It occurred to me earlier today we could do a pumpkin/gourd carving contest with a ghoulish or witchy theme of some sort. Just a quick thought.

Title: Ornamental

Description: make your own ornament. You can make a literal ornament of create a circular design for an ornament. (We could make it sci-fi/fantasy turned, or since it's Christmas, leave this challenge a little more open-ended.)

Title: Snowed In

Description: Depict a wintry landscape or scene for a Christmas card from CG Art Nexus!

Title: Jingle Bell Rock

Description: Santa, the elves and the reindeer are finally done for Christmas! Depict them rocking out or partying for New Years!

YAY! Christmas is the best season of the year <3 Pleaaaaase. Let's have a GREAT christmas theme - winter is even in january and february and march and... oh please. <3

Title: Santas Workshop

Description: Show us how YOU think Santas workshop looks like, classical or fantastical or create a spooky christmas workshop like Tim Burton showed us in Nightmare before Christmas. Are the elves really elves or are they daemons with cute faces who play with children's wishes?

Title: Night before Christmas

Description: What do you expect when you hear this? Create a christmas story - it's up to you!

I am a bit fed up with all the holiday themed stuff. Let's have some more original themed challenges.

Like Rourke said, they should be open themes so that there is a best possible participation.

So, how about:

1.Oblivion.

2.Rescuers.

3.The fighter.

3.Vivid.

4.Full Steam Ahead.

5.Genesis.

...Just for starters! The white as snow challenge has been great fun, so I hope the next one will garner the same level of artist participation!
