... I just HAD to suggest this, otherwise my brain will burst! XD
Yup, it's kinda quiet back there at the DSC because the people mainly involved in the Monthly Displays are pretty
much in deep in real life, mentis-san... and pegassuss, Anjhurin, *secret artist's name here* and I are also
prepping up special stuff for a sort of Special Display thing coming up soon. The preparations for that kinda going
slow, because of darn real life getting in the way, lol... and also, I kinda have other backlog promises-commitments
I'm trying to fulfill around these virtual parts (lol, to enumerate, w.a.r. story writing stuff, MT Character
Classes caption stuff, the "Tips for Doujin" thing stuff, the DSC Member Directory thingy and some other
stuff...), so why the heck am I telling you this, lol?
Anyways! On to the suggestion! Maybe while we're waiting for the Special Displays thingy to launch (and looking at
the positive response your thread is getting!), maybe, maybe, maybe, how about having
an MT event that involves artists and anyone else interested and basically full-on inviting everyone to engage in
"blind drawing/blind painting", with your Creative Painting - Manga Version guide as one of the basis
of said event? (Lol, I'd love to see what wallers and non-artists' artwork would look like!)
One other basis (I think) for the MT "blind drawing/blind painting" (lol! what about "blind
walling"? ^^^) event is that we could have people who contribute lovely scans suggest some or lotsa scans as
references for the event, or even "blind-wall/blind-digitally-paint" doujinshi or even walls or whatever? So
that we could encourage their participation too? *okies, warning, wackiness factor going waaayy off the scale now...*
Of course, what I feel is lovely about the whole thing is that maybe this could be a nice event that would be a kind of
break from the awesome-art-and-awesome-wall trend, and loosen things up... lol, actually I'd quote a lot from your
conversation with chisaikame-chan on your guestbook on this part, but anyways... But I think the MT standards on
"quality" might get a bit in the way of the "blind drawing/blind painting/blind walling" event,
since really at first glance (to use an example) your Hizuru - Blind/Charcoal and Hizuru - Blind/Sharpie drawings kinda
look like just doodles, which are kinda discouraged in the MT Policy... ^_^"... but hey, you know, maybe we could
suggest to the MT mods to open up a special MT Gallery section just for the event, for everyone to submit their
"blind artwork" stuff in, so that it wouldn't be mistook as just "doodles"?!?!? O_o ... *okies,
wackiness factor reaching white-supernova mode* But if that doesn't work (and if the mods aren't game on a
let-your-creativity-soar event), maybe we could just go it a la Inspiration Project style, an off-MT
website hosting the "blind artwork" chu-chu-ness? But nnnnnnn, so that it'll truly be open and conducive
to artistic creativity and MT communitiness (word creation time! XD), I really hope that the special MT Gallery section
thing could be accomodated!
Lastly, maybe we could start in the DSC, see if we could get other organizers (I'd love to ask fireflywishes and
MapleRose and flyindreams and other doujin groups like Doujin-Arena and close-to-doujin-making groups like Paint-o-Rama
are game to this!) to crash in and help out! Lol, me will probably help out, just a bit (me ish bad, suggesting all this
and backing out in the end, lol!) But anyways... ^^^
*And supernova flashes! XD* I'm kinda thinking/feeling under an influence, this Hachikuro Model of Diversifying the "Support Doujinshi" Cause in Minitokyo and Other Spaces and
Places in my head for quite a while now... so, hastily mapping the "blind drawing/blind painting/blind
walling" event out:
... *breathes out hard!* Whew, 'glad to get that one out! So, what do you guys think? ^^^
(I scanned it weird o_0 )
