The Run Down - Day 100

GREETINGS FROM DAY 100!

It seems like thousands of days ago when Sketchbet launched. Oh, it’s only been a hundred? Funny that.

Betwixt then and now, much has come to pass in this little competition. We found some of our rules to be, perhaps, over-strict. But we always enforced them evenly, sentencing both friend and acquaintance alike to the Sketchguillotine. Some posts were left untagged. MANY posts were left untagged. Whole LOADS of posts were left untagged.

But in the end, the most important thing is the art this competition has goaded and guilted its participants into producing. The nightly deadline can send some scampering for the nearest half-thought doodle. Others take it as an opportunity to grow and experiment, knowing that if a drawing fails to meet their expectation, they can make up for it the next day. Or the next. And so on until this heartless slog ends all who were foolish enough to be touched by its corpulent redolence.

In the coming days, we will feature a series of submissions from various Sketchbetters, both those currently participating and long since extinguished. We do not post them tonight because I just thought to do this and am deathly tired. But this menagerie shall showcase some of the many wonderful and weird pieces that this troupe of imaginauts (so tired) have produced.

Here’s to hopefully much fewer than another hundred days!

About

The round has begun. We are no longer accepting applications.

One sketch from every participating artist, every day, or they're out. No slacking, no excuses.

RULES

1.) THERE WILL BE ONE POST ON THE SKETCHBET TUMBLR EVERYDAY BEFORE MIDNIGHT CST TIME. We aren’t responsible for checking your personal tumblr to see if you posted there by accident and we don’t have to tell you that you posted early by mistake. There are no do overs for this rule. *EDIT* THE DAY WILL NOW BEGIN AND END AT MIDNIGHT CDT.

2.) ANYONE ON THE DANGER LIST NEEDS TO POST TWO SKETCHES THE NEXT DAY. It is your job to check the danger list to see if you are on it. There are no do overs for this rule.

3.) YOU MAY ONLY POST 1 FANART PER WEEK. O.C.s for other properties count as fanart and the week starts on Sunday. If you accidentally post two in a week, you will be put on the danger list.

4.) PUT SOME EFFORT INTO IT. A general rule of thumb is 15 minutes of time. If you post a low effort submission, you will be placed on the danger list.

5.) DON’T GO HIGHER THAN AN “R” RATING. Nudity is fine, life drawing is fine. Fetish art, explicit sex, “attack art,” and socially unacceptable or inflammatory content isn’t. There are no do overs for this rule.

6.) DON’T BE PUBLICLY PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE/HOSTILE ABOUT SKETCHBET MOD DECISIONS. It’s unbecoming and childish. We’d like to promote a better environment about that. There are no do overs for this rule.

7.) TAG YOUR POSTS. The first tag should be your name, and all fanart needs a #fanart tag. Otherwise how will we know if you posted or not? There is no do over for this rule.

8.) DON’T POST FINISHED WORK THAT IS FOR SOMETHING ELSE. This isn’t your personal promo tumblr. You can post the roughs or concept art, but not the finished comic page or commission. If you break this rule you will be put on the danger list.

9.) *EDIT 4/12/2012* DO NOT REDRAW, RECOLOR, OR OTHERWISE IMPROVE PREVIOUS DAYS' POSTS. It's unsporting and disingenuous. If you didn't get it done on the day, it shouldn't go in. If we catch you, you will be removed from Sketchbet. There is no do over for this rule.
