WHAT?! A WORM?! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT

That's right kidlets, PC's first ever ARTWORM! CELEBRATION! It's not as terrifying as it sounds, I promise!

For those who don't know what a worm is:

Examples:
http://worm.bluesfear.com/index2.html
http://chray.deviantart.com/art/Tripod-37817199

What's the big deal?
An Artworm is well, a worm of art. The height is fixed and it doesn't matter who does it. It's less about the skill of the person and more about the art and passion that they put into. This is something to bring graphic artists together. One person does such and such, and then the next person continues on from the last. It's okay to maybe cover up a corner or something, but we must be careful not to do that too much, or else we will be overpowering their art- and that's a bad thing.

Do whatever.
The first person starts the art worm, of course, and the next person continues on, blending the same thing into their piece, though, as shown with the examples above, you don't need to have ANY relevancy at all in here. :3 It's art, not scripture.

You're here to stay.

So, this will be organized by those kind-hearted enough to do so (aka myself), along of course, with those of the staff. So yes, I will be breathing down your necks about this.

Up to 10 Blocks Per Artist
There's not too many artists here that I've seen, so if numbers are lookin' slim, I'll allow multiple blocks to be done by one person.

Anyone and everyone!

If you would like all to be a part of this, post in this thread to sign up!

Time to lay down the rules and specs.
- Must be 450(h)x600(w)- You can be a bit "longer", but don't go overboard.
- The order will follow by sign-ups. So if you wanna be next to someone, be sure to sign up right before or after them!
- Work with the person before you- Don't just randomly swap over. Make it flow.
- Do not say you MIGHT sign up. Sign-ups are final unless it's possible to make changes.
- All finished pieces will be PM'd or e-mailed to me so I can update. Any edits will be sent to me.
- Please do NOT start working until it's your turn on the list.
- Everyone will have one week's time. Time starts whenever the previous person confirms they're completion. If you do not finish within a week, you will lose your turn and have to go to the end of the list.
If you're confused, the process goes as, #1 works on his/her piece while discussing it with #2. #2 will then get to work on his/her's while discussing it with #3, and so on. Whether you discuss with the person before you or not is up to you. You can just request their piece and work from it yourself.

I will drop inactive people.

If you're not here within about a day or two after I send a notice, I'm sorry. You're gone. This thing's a big deal, and there will be people willing to work on it.

THERE'S EVEN A CONVENIENT TUTORIAL ON HOW TO MAKE PIECES FLOW:

Keep the sign ups comin'!

Pikabloo August 25th, 2008 5:07 AM

I guess I should sign up before school work starts getting in the way ^^

Comic Tragedy August 25th, 2008 6:37 AM

OMFG!!!!! *shot*

Put me up there please!

Azonic August 25th, 2008 1:24 PM

Sign me up too. x3 Sounds interesting.

Conman August 26th, 2008 12:45 PM

I guess I'll tag along, so count me in.

I finished the first block of the worm! : D I'll be sending it in a PM to Hazuki in a few minutes. I updated the first post with a preview!

Hazuki August 27th, 2008 3:53 PM

http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/5903/artworvd7.png

I is done, now please don't shoot me. Have fun Loki! :D

Zebra Thunderhead August 27th, 2008 4:01 PM

Just as a heads up, the artworm is supposed to floooow. The pieces aren't supposed to be seperate, because where's the talent and skill in that? The colors are supposed to blend into each piece and link them all together. xD;;

Aizuke August 27th, 2008 4:03 PM

Just wondering, does this have an actually theme we have to work with or we can do whatever we please?

Motsuko Live August 27th, 2008 4:27 PM

I'm pretty sure we can do whatever we please.

Zebra Thunderhead August 27th, 2008 4:28 PM

You can do whatever you please. If there was a set them we'd run out of things to do. xD

Loki August 27th, 2008 4:37 PM

....xD; Maybe you'll want to fix your piece later, Hazuki?

I'll start working on mine.


edit: Oh my god Hazuki. xD! [/that gray bar thing is a killer]

Zebra Thunderhead August 27th, 2008 4:56 PM

What are you talking about? XD That gray bar is so easy to branch something off of. Like:

http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/4010/loleasyxr7.png

Easy : P

Loki August 27th, 2008 5:35 PM

Okay I lied. :< I did something different at first, which was just as easy as extending the lines, but extending them looked better.

What troubled me was that I just did a terrible blending job, and screwed up some of Hazuki's work. :< Hopefully it isn't too bad though...

Dies Irae. >:D Day of Wrath.


Argh, I really should've been doing my homework. Dx

And the attempts at the worm I did on CME's piece looked so much better than this. :| Oh well. It was fun, nonetheless. x3

Zebra Thunderhead August 27th, 2008 5:42 PM

Your piece looks so cool, Loki. : D My extensions were lame anyway, they were just to spark some ideas that blending IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE! XD

Aizuke August 27th, 2008 5:43 PM

So I guess it's my turn now? XD;

I'll start on it now~ -runs off- omgomgomgomg.

Loki August 27th, 2008 5:47 PM

Hopefully it's okay, red ranger. D: I tried to clean up the textures and stuff on the far right for you, so it'd be a bit easier to blend it up.

[/pitied myself. xDDD Didn't want to inflict it on someone else]


And, thank you CME. :D It's my first -somewhat- larger piece ever since my second to last request shop, I think, so yeah... turned out unexpectedly better than I thought it would. xD!

Zebra Thunderhead August 27th, 2008 5:50 PM

If you have it saved, I'd like to see what you did with my piece, Loki. :o

Loki August 27th, 2008 6:10 PM

http://www.imagecross.com/06/image-hosting-view-05.php?id=6367cmeextension.png


There were actually two different ones, but I liked this one better. :<

Zebra Thunderhead August 27th, 2008 6:21 PM

That one looks cool too, but you should've extended my text. : D

Loki August 27th, 2008 6:22 PM

If I'd had time, I would've tried it. xD Although that strange noise effect would've been difficult to replicate. :<

Zebra Thunderhead August 27th, 2008 6:23 PM

Well it was from a brush, but you could've just added some scratchy textures and it would've matched okay. Gender has the best ones.

Hazuki August 27th, 2008 7:45 PM

Yeah sorry about that my bad, I completely forgot and I was in a rush to finish my homework. D:

Aizuke August 27th, 2008 8:16 PM

lolwhut

Hahah.. I failed. :\ I'm stupid and worked on my piece first and forgot about the colours to blend. XD;

Zebra Thunderhead August 28th, 2008 7:22 AM

Honestly... don't rush through the pieces. I took a day to work on mine, not an hour. Take the time to BLEND your piece with the one before it so it doesn't look slapped on. Otherwise, what's the point?

THIRTY-SIX August 28th, 2008 9:02 AM

How about getting PC to get a page like: www.pokecommunity.com/artworm
That way we wouldn't have to add to a single image.

Loki August 28th, 2008 1:41 PM

^ That would be a nice idea, but... I dunno. :| If someone wants to bring it up to steve or kwesi or whoever would make the addition, go for it. xD; [/cause I don't know what to say on the subject anyway.]



And I'd say that since this is probably the first artworm most of us have done, (mine too) it's probably not going to turn out too amazing in terms of blending.... xD;;; I'm sure it'll turn out better if we go around a second time.

THIRTY-SIX August 28th, 2008 1:47 PM

I think CME was talking about the blending in their own piece, not the connecting from one to another. I mean if you can take the time to do it on a smaller canvas why not on a larger one?
Also I already pm'd Rukario… he said once it's proves more popular…

Loki August 28th, 2008 1:54 PM

Quote:

Doesn't that mean connecting the last piece with yours? xD; That's how I interpreted it...?


And alright, well, guess for this first round, we'll just use various imagehosting sites that don't have limitations, and once we get to the second round, I'll drop Steve a PM. How's that sound?



Oh and, CME, do you mind if this thread also doubles up as a discussion thread like it's been doing, or do you want to make a separate thread?

THIRTY-SIX August 28th, 2008 1:58 PM

I scan text so … um yea…
Also if that's the case psd sharing?

Zebra Thunderhead August 28th, 2008 2:00 PM

What I mean by blending is taking one element from one part and branching off of that into your own piece. They are supposed to look all connected, not separate pieces.

We can keep discussion here.

Sounds like a good idea, but what's the point? I mean, if you need the PSD, that's basically just saying you want to edit the previous addition a little bit, which would be, in a way, cheating. PNG work fine.

By the way, are we suppose to leave a transparent space when we submit our addition?

Michael Allison Is Not I August 28th, 2008 2:32 PM

Can I join? This sounds awesome!

I don't think so...? I didn't leave a transparent spot... D:

THIRTY-SIX August 28th, 2008 7:55 PM

I meant so we can "layer rip" npt change anything from the previous.… but I guess stock linking would be better… for easier blending…

Postman August 28th, 2008 11:08 PM

Can I still join in the fun? :3

Zebra Thunderhead August 29th, 2008 8:39 AM

Chea, I added you and Michael to the list.

Motsuko Live August 30th, 2008 3:35 AM

Who's turn is it? /lost

Postman August 30th, 2008 3:42 AM

Still evilcheese I think.

Zebra Thunderhead August 30th, 2008 3:44 AM

Whoever is green on the first post. I think it's evilcheese.

evilcheese August 31st, 2008 8:44 AM

My bad guys the internet wasn't working but i'll upload it right now

Comic Tragedy September 6th, 2008 6:30 AM

Has the thread not been updated in a while, or has evilcheese not finished yet? Because I would hate to see this idea die :(

evilcheese September 6th, 2008 12:53 PM

Lol i think i killed this thread. Imagecross says it's too big. So i used imagebanana;

Good thing this is the first one ever, because you guys have no idea how to flow pieces together.

*Goes to pester Renyui*

Motsuko Live September 9th, 2008 11:29 AM

... so, are we ever gonna get rolling again or what? :/

Loki September 9th, 2008 1:35 PM

Renyui said he's workin' on it. ;<

Renyui! September 11th, 2008 10:38 PM

Sorry guys, I'm not meant to be going on the computer in weekdays. And I just got sapped by my Maths teacher. I'll get started on it.

Comic Tragedy September 12th, 2008 3:14 AM

*COUGH*itsabouttime*COUGH* -shot'd-

I am so glad this didn't die! Go, go go!

Renyui! September 12th, 2008 6:45 PM

Artworm link!
Lol i think i stuffed it up. Real bad. Tell me if I should remake it.

Loki September 12th, 2008 6:49 PM

That's okay, we all sucked. <_< We'll all just have to do better next round. :<

*goes to bother whoever's next*

Comic Tragedy September 12th, 2008 7:48 PM

Oooooh. I am so excited. It is (slowly yet surely) aproaching my turn! Woohoo! *goes to bother .freak*

THIRTY-SIX September 12th, 2008 11:23 PM

The best thing to do would be to keep your textures as close to the middle as possible. .o.'
Or even just pentool it. xD

Motsuko Live September 13th, 2008 5:38 AM

... now look me straight in the eyes and tell me this isn't pure, 100% fail at it's worst. ;-;
Tried to convert all this darkish, depressing stuff to vector, but it didn't turn out so well. :<

Artworm

Oh well... as Loki said, we all suck. xDD;

THIRTY-SIX September 13th, 2008 5:46 AM

Err could you upload just your part? o.o'

Zebra Thunderhead September 13th, 2008 6:33 AM

Photobucket fails at uploading very large images, upload to dA or something.

THIRTY-SIX September 15th, 2008 8:18 AM

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v510/munna170488/gallery/Artworm1copy.png

Mines done… I'll change the pixelly part when freak uploads a bigger version.
I crapped it up… but can I go again? xD

The hell? I upload screenshots there sometimes, and it's fine. Just tune your settings..

Oh, you meant something like 500x5000000 XD nvm

tinypic works.. i think. or make your own host. or aquate..

But yeah, deviantART is so much better than any other art website out there.

I'm thinking we need to fix up the transitions... They look.. pretty bad at the moment, guys.

*can't wait for his turn*

Love yours, munna!!!!! :O!!!!!!!

Thanks for the reinforcement. xD;


Anyway somebody who's smart with this stuff should see if there's anywhere we can host a 100000000000000000000000000 pixel long image. :< I'm terrible with this kind of thing, so I can't help there, but yeah.

Comic Tragedy September 15th, 2008 1:54 PM

Really, I think someone should post it on DA then just edit the image everytime it gets longer. I am pretty sure DA never makes the image smaller.........

Zebra Thunderhead September 15th, 2008 1:55 PM

dA never resizes images. Ever.

Comic Tragedy September 15th, 2008 2:05 PM

Ok then. Who will host it? I would do it, but I just want to know if anyone else wants to feel special.

Zebra Thunderhead September 15th, 2008 2:19 PM

I'll host it, but it doesn't really matter who does. We can all put it up on our down dA's.

Loki September 15th, 2008 2:26 PM

Yeah but not all of us have dA's. Wouldn't it be easiest just to make an account for all of us?

I think that'd be easiest. :< That way we don't have to depend on someone to get things uploaded.

Comic Tragedy September 15th, 2008 2:47 PM

Kai. How about Loki makes the dA acounnt. You know, since he is the G&P mod and all ;P

Aizuke September 15th, 2008 2:51 PM

I have a DA account...?

Yeah. ._.

XD Sorry just had to. :x

Loki September 15th, 2008 2:55 PM

I dunno, whatever you guys want to do, but I don't have another e-mail I can use to make a dA account. :< I guess I could make one but, I'm kind of iffy on this now, since I'm not sure whether or not dA has any terms regarding shared accounts. :<

[lol aizuke]

Aizuke September 15th, 2008 2:59 PM

So there aren't any other places that can upload big images and that you don't need to sign up to? o.o

Azonic September 15th, 2008 3:00 PM

Doesn't ImageShack like, never resize their images?

Loki, it's easy to make an e-mail address. xD
3 minutes.

Aizuke September 15th, 2008 3:02 PM

I think they do, unless you have a paid account, if you can..?

And yay for laziness?

Loki September 15th, 2008 3:14 PM

imageshack resizes at one point. It's just rare that you hit that point. <_< [/has hit the height limit quite a few times with tutorials]

And I know it's easy, but I don't see the point in making a new e-mail for no reason. o_o Just one more useless thing to remember. <_<;

Comic Tragedy September 15th, 2008 4:27 PM

Have no fear, general populas of the G&P forum! I have created our artworm dA acount!

The account: http://pcartworm.deviantart.com/
The password:
Spoiler:
bug321


I stress that you don't share the password with anyone that is not in the artworm....... even though I just posted it here in the open...... Ah' whatever!

So I suggest .freak posts it up on there^

Aizuke September 15th, 2008 4:32 PM

It would have been safer to PM all the participants the account information...? XD;

I would love to, but seeing as I don't have my entry anymore, that would be kind of hard. It's at my mom's house on her computer. :/
Ah, the joy of my life and divorce complications. >.<

I'll get her to send it to me through msn next time she's on. (yeah, I am cool enough to have my mom on msn)

Pikabloo September 16th, 2008 3:14 AM

I had a lot of fun working on this instead of doing my homework. The cannonball and clouds are pretty meh, but I'm happy with it, overall ^^

Now to turn it into tag form for the SoTW, lolol.

Should I upload it onto the dA thing, or whut?

Comic Tragedy September 16th, 2008 12:16 PM

Ok, ok. Just upload the entire worm, then Munna can add his bit to it, and then Shiranui (and then me (yays!).

Wait for .freak to upload the whole thing to dA, then Munna to add to it, then you can add to it then upload it to the dA acount. [/pewpew]

THIRTY-SIX September 20th, 2008 12:01 AM

Hey CT it's your turn on the artworm. xP

Comic Tragedy September 20th, 2008 4:14 AM

There you are:
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k284/andytoe/artworm-yipadee.jpg

Shika September 20th, 2008 10:33 AM

Keep up the good work guys =]

Motsuko Live September 20th, 2008 5:58 PM

Ok, so you guys are going to kill me, but this can't be helped. Here we go:

My piece of the art worm was at my mother's house. Unfortunately, and I swear to God this is the truth, my mom and her boyfriend broke up. My mom is staying in a hotel in Perth, and she's about to move in with my grandma. So, in other words, go on without me. There's no way I can get it now, and if you have a problem with that, you can definitely shove it. Yeah, you heard me. I have a little more to worry about than a damn art worm on a Pokemon forum at the moment. If you have any further complaints, you can take it up with me on msn. Though I'm warning you, prepare to get betched out... hardcoar.

Comic Tragedy September 20th, 2008 6:05 PM

No problem man. Take all the time you want. We will be waiting 8D

THIRTY-SIX September 21st, 2008 7:50 AM

I don't have a problem with it… since the other pieces are inside my section anyway. xD
Also can't I go again? :<

Motsuko Live September 21st, 2008 1:21 PM

Yeah, I think munna should get to take my turn (and build onto Renyui's piece)

Loki October 5th, 2008 12:26 PM

Well, quite frankly, this did not work out quite right, and CME isn't even visiting the GFX section on a regular basis anymore.

Therefore, I'm unstickying this, and saying that if anyone wants to do another worm, they will talk to me about it, and there will be strict regulations on who can participate in it.
