Edit: Clan will be closed soon, sorry for everyone.

Frantic Creators

♦ Welcome everyone ♦
Hi! For a long time I was planning to create a clan that would gather artists that want to grow, practice and give/receive constructive critique in the nice and friendly atmosphere. Sounds good? I think so. The thing is, I don't want it to be just another clan with million members doing nothing after joining to it. My goal is to create a living community that can discuss, inspire and help themseves to improve. I know it's not easy, but now as I have a lot of time I want to give it a try.

♦ Plans & details ♦
First things first. I want to find enough people interested in joining here. The minimum is 10 players for clan to maintain.

If only ten people will be found, the clan will officialy start running and from this moment I will try to constantly improve it and add new features.

♦ The one that will probably come to live as soon as the clan will be created and is quite important is doing "Challanges".
Once per two weeks I will announce the topic and short description of new challange. Members will now have time to interpret, draw something related to it and post it. Of course I will not force you to participate- if you won't like the topic you can always skip this one - but this clan is about improving and helping others to do it, so if you know that you don't want to show your paintings - I would consider finding another clan for yourself. :)

I'm also thinking about creating rewards system.

♦ Sometimes I will organise special events like doing memes, collaborations, art trades and other stuff. This will be absolutely optional.

♦ I have a lot of other ideas in mind and I will take my time, improve and add them - if only there will be people willing to take part and join the clan. :)
♦ I want to join! - rules and requirements ♦
You have to be active. As I said, the goal of this clan is to improve and help others improving. This means posting your works and preferably trying to constructively criticize other's stuff.

You have to be polite. I hope that I don't have to explain this one. ;) Atmosphere is important. Everyone have their own level of art and we are all here to become better and meet other people with the same passion.

Skills - Now... You really do not have to be super experienced artist to join us, but I want you to know the basics. I want to keep skill level of new members more or less on the similar level. I think this would just help in many situations.
This means, that if you want to join, you have to send me example of your painting/s. I hope it's not a big problem. :)

Monthly fee - I really don't like this point, but it is necessary. Lioden require a certain amount of sb monthly to maintain the club. It means, every member will need to donate 100 sb per month. I think it's not that much and you will stay with me.

I have the right to:
- reject your request without explanation.
- delete you from the clan without explanation.
- delete the clan anytime I want without explanation.
♦ Last words ♦
I know the last box could sound a bit bad, but I want you to understand that I am willing to put my time in this club and I want people with whom I can spend this time - making the clan better for us all - so there have to be some rules. :)

Anyway, I really, really want to find people to join here. So even if you are not sure - just write to me, ask questions and I will be happy to answer them. :)

Nori, no, it's not going to be strictly animals, I promise that in next challenge humans will be somehow included. :) Sorry that you have to skip this one. :/

Nori:

Isn't that the point? If you're not confident in drawing animals, it's even more important to draw them more often. Having weaknesses only means that you aren't ready to do that kind of work for a paying client with expectations, not that you should never touch them. Otherwise, how will you learn? All tetrapods follow pretty much the same body plan. Understanding how to draw animals, especially will improve your understanding of human motion and expression without relying on crutches like giant cartoony eyebrows.

(Unless you want to exclusively focus on plants and arranged objects; then any kind of figure drawing isn't as useful.)

You don't necessarily have to stress over it either. I fully admit to half-assing the last challenge and also not thoroughly reading the instructions to construct a creature, but that's okay. The most important thing is to keep your pencil moving.

Addendum: Carousel Challenge Suggestion - Draw a human pulling a rickshaw.

i appreciate it spring
i know that's the case but i'm easy to start comparing my own art to others and i'd rather not do that and get even more discouraged
in private, yes, i can do that, but i can't put it up so imo doing the challenge would only do more to discourage me and make me not want to try haha
i do appreciate it though, i'd just rather not do it for my own sake

It's okay Jynx. :)

Everyone, please welcome Springdragon as the new admin of Frantic Creators! He will be now owning this Clan together with me and I hope we will improve it so it won't be that empty anymore. Prepare for some big changes. :)

"♦ You have to be at least 16 years old. I may consider exceptions, but only after consulting it with me."

Just saying, you have to be 16 to be on Lioden anyway...? XD

I didn't know that either. Due to COPPA laws, it's usually 13.

I remind you all about the challenge winner poll that is open untill 10.09. :)

Also, sorry for not being active so much in past few days, I have a lot of things to do now. I hope everything will establish soon so I could spend more time on the Clan.

Hi everyone! Sorry for not being able to post here, I had (and still have) a lot of real-life things that cannot wait and almost no time. I'm afraid it won't change anytime soon and I don't think it's possible to take care of the clan in this situation. That being said, I have to close the clan as I'm unable to keep it going. Sorry for all of you that hoped it will turn into something special and got involved. :(

Have a nice day everybody.
