Ratcar Fail
A word to the remaining Sketchbetters - DON’T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO POST!! As sure as pixels are pixels that will be the time your computer decides to lock up, as mine did tonight. I dodged that bullet 94 times, but no more.

Protest Fail
I did sketch out a quick 6-panel SOPA/PIPA protest but it looked pretty awful, besides it’s a bit late to the game. So here’s a Chorus girl instead. Now the song is stuck in my head,”ONE… Singular sensation, every little step she takes…”

Started drawing more of the girl with the big cat from two days ago. Part of me says I should develop the idea into a story, the rest of me believes it will just get thrown on the pile of 300 other undeveloped story ideas. Not enough hours in a day…

Big Cat
(Oops, posted this to the wrong blog… Remember kids, if it’s posted in the wrong place it won’t count)
Greetings, everyone, and welcome to the second Sketchbet, or the  first real one if you don’t count the first run. I’m John Peters and I  completed the first run of Sketchbet which wasn’t easy but it was a lot  of fun. I’m currently drawing three webcomics (Ardra, Gypsy, and The Perils of Pandora) with more to come. Let’s see how long we can hang on his time…

Tiger says “Thanks”
And so do I. Last night I went through the entire Sketchbet line so I could copy out comments like this one for future use - I tanked my computer from all the images these 12-25 participants made since September 17th (I got a “Virtual Memory” error). I hadn’t counted, but I’m sure there are thousands of drawings here.
Having to put something out there on a daily basis has shown me that all days are not equal. Some are busier than others, or more tiring or more stressful. There were many days where I just wasn’t feeling it and considered letting it lapse, but that didn’t happen. It was a challenge, sort of like a slow motion 24 hour comic.
(Makes me wonder what a “24 pages in 24 days” challenge would be like. I don’t know, maybe February I could do a 28 page version. Except 2012 is a leap year, dang…)
Anyway, thanks for having me. And good luck to the next 25 Sketchbetters.

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.
