I fully intend to take part in this event! Should give me something fun to do while the prompt challenge is going on, and since I've been telling myself I'll get back into drawing, this is the perfect kick in the pants for me! My only question- does it have to be the character as he/she appears in the series, or can it be our interpretation of said character?If rhombus decided to draw Taunt (just theoretically) from his fanfics, that'd be perfectly fine. If he'd draw Littlefoot as a sharptooth, that'd be just as fine. In other words, yes you can draw them as you interprete them :yes And, OC's are okay too if you happen to have an OC as your favourite character :lol

Oooh, I have an idea! How about "draw a background character?" These are characters in the movies or TV show that don't really say anything (one or two quick lines at most) but appear in the background to add diversity. I think it would inspire people to look at the largely ignored characters of the series, and maybe even give them stories of their own :DI could get behind that idea! Perhaps I can give my Elsie idea a try.
PS: Oh, and I think Elsie would count as such a character even though she has a little more than just 1-2 lines but characters like Mo, Ali etc. would be too much "Foreground"? I dunno :unsure:
QuoteEDIT: And I would also say that most of the sharpteeth "villians" can be included in this prompt too... since they don't technically have speaking lines we can understand :lolyay! can legally draw Sharptooth from first movie! ^^
What? He's just some background insignificant character... :blink:
ww-ww-wwhat's this big shadow coming from my back?..
yay! can legally draw Sharptooth from first movie! ^^I'm not sure about the Sharptooth from the first movie. He kinda is a significant character, isn't he? :unsure:
What? He's just some background insignificant character... blink.gif

Hmmmmm, that's true. While I would prefer to see people draw more minor characters, I think Sharptooth would technically be allowed, seeing as there is almost no official information regarding his history, motive, personality (other than obsessive and bloodthirsty, haha), etc. In a lot of ways he is treated more like a malignant.force of nature than an actual character, which is an issue that many people have addressed in fanfiction :DQuoteyay! can legally draw Sharptooth from first movie! ^^I'm not sure about the Sharptooth from the first movie. He kinda is a significant character, isn't he? :unsure:

failAh, I see! :lol
it was just a joke.
Sharptooth is one of seven main characters in original movie. Of course, calling his "backgroud character" will cause his anger toward you. You don't want he comes for you, right?
c'mon, guys and gals.Thanks for the bump, is anybody working on their entries? I know DarkWolf is pretty busy but what about the others? As for me... art block <_<
can't wait to see at least single art responce! :3
offtop question: I wanted to tell an idea about new forum competition(s), but I was afraid to unintentionally spam Rock Circle folder.In case of doubt, the Rock Circle is the place to go... if it's more like a project, maybe the projects forum? A quick PM to one of the admins is usually helpful too (I can tell you I had quite a few of them when asking where to put my Civ 4 story :lol) rhombus and nick are most active so chances are highest if you contact them :yes
So here is the question: is there on the forum special threads for suggesting new ideas, games, competitions, and other stuff?
thank you
I'll try and join in on this.Awesome! :D
Well, I really like the way the Fanfic prompt challenge is set up this year with the prompt list posted in advance. I think we should do something like this starting January, as it allows people to plan in advance what prompts they may want to do, and also we could get feedback beforehand on the list and take member suggestions. Also I think it would be neat to allow some kind of tie-in to the the fanfic prompt challenge in which participants could draw a scene or character from one of the previous fanfic prompt responses. That idea is more of a work in progress though, and it's not too fleshed out. As for awards, I'm not too sure yet. We could do some sort of badges like the fanfic challenge is doing, but then we might overload people's signatures, hahaSo, thoughts? :lol Also, I realize we could still get one more prompt done until next year. Are there any requests concerning prompts for this one? For instance, I could picture something winter-related :)
PS: Oh, and one more thing: I kind of lost track of the submission due to... well, the sheer amount of time that has passed dino_tongue.gif I remember DarkWolf91 submitting something for sure and I could swear it was somebody else too... Fyn?That would be me. I think you even have it listed in the masterlist topic. :p
what about drawing of our current roleplay? At next prompt? :DOoooh, I like that idea! We might have to include that with fanart from the fanfic prompt entries as a permanent side option :D
I think that's a great idea! The voting doesn't really add too much to the prompts. I've been thinking about a way to do banners for this, and I like the idea of using artwork from the prompts for it. We'll just have to decide on a way to make them 'upgradable' based on participation.Awesome! Well, I think we have a majority now to go ahead with it.
Eh, technically those fan art prompt posters is a fan art itself, isn't it? I could see myself voting on that. :P
But anyways, that looks like an awesome idea! It's visually appealing for sure. :)
I had this weird idea of drawing the gang with a twist for this prompt: They're all villains and looking really badass :bestsharptoothAnd then please, draw good old guy Sharptooth who looks cute and scared by true villains of the show, being innocient victim! ^^
I'll try to think of some prompt ideas and post them here next weekend.That would be great Iris, thanks! :DD
Looks like Flathead is slowly taking my place because I'm not really active on the forum anymore haha. I'm 95% certain I won't participate in the current prompt but I'll try something for the last prompt at the end of the year. I really wanted to participate in the OC prompt but my drawing motivation is near zero these days.No problem Ducky! Good to see you poking your head in every now and then at least! :smile
Cool! I made a lil' something but I don't think I can get it finished due to my physical problems. Might submit it later this year if things finally go my way :)I mentioned this to you on Discord already, but due to issues with your thumb, if you still want to slowly work on the prompt and finish it later then I'm fine with that! :smile Just don't work it too hard.
Cool! I made a lil' something but I don't think I can get it finished due to my physical problems. Might submit it later this year if things finally go my way :)Wow you go and say this then show us all up by having it done faster then any of us :PCera
I regret the use of my thumb last weekend, it's really been acting up the last few days. Always when I think it is getting better I instantly overwork it :( But at least I got it done. Worth it? :PCool! I made a lil' something but I don't think I can get it finished due to my physical problems. Might submit it later this year if things finally go my way :)Wow you go and say this then show us all up by having it done faster then any of us :PCera
Haven't you all been wondering what the Gang would look like in our human world?
For the awards we wanted to use fanart that was submitted this year to give it a more unique and personal look. The question is do we just pick one for everyone or make multiple for people to choose? Iris has already made some of them as examples and I want to know what you guys think about this idea. Do you guys want to pick from a select few or do you want to pick a certain drawing that you submitted? Let me know! :)littlefootJust to give an idea, these are some of the examples I showed off to Flathead:
By the way... does Rhett count as a villain? :lol
By the way... does Rhett count as a villain? :lol
Just a friendly reminder that there's 10 days left for the current prompt! Hope we can get some more submissions for this one!
Figured I'd give another quick reminder that there's only a few more days before the deadline for the Crossover prompt. I know that @RainbowFaceProtege and @StardustSoldier , both of you are looking to participate in this. How's it coming along?I worked on it today. Three days to get it done should be plenty! :)petrie
Yeah, participation was low and the idea was brought up that choosing what art is the best (even if it was stated to be based on creativity and not technical skill) was a deterrent for people joining in.Hm, that's kind of surprising to me. :olittlefoot I don't know what makes it different than the fanfiction vote myself...guess the fanfic people must not mind it as much somehow.
Harry Potter was actually one of the things I thought about haha. I can totally see three of the main cast with wizard hats on running away from a threeheaded sharptooth standing on a trap door (though I guess that wouldnt make much sense for a cover :P ) ;)July/Aug: Book cover: Create a book cover for your favorite book, with LBT characters!I'm not sure the LBT gang would combine that well with the Harry Potter world, though. :bestsharptooth
Unlikely scenario: Come up with something ridiculous and/or random that the characters are doing; something you'd probably never see them doing in the official series.
Alright, now onto the final prompt for the year!
Nov/Dec: Unlikely friendship: Which two characters would likely never get along? In your imagination, they are bffs!
What sort of crazy friendships will we see? Sharptooth and Littlefoot's mother? Mr. Threehorn and literally anyone else? Let's see what you come up with!
Prompt Idea: Draw the gang in an AU of your choice. Will you draw them as Space explorers? As dragons? Vampires? Dinosaurs living in Ancient Egypt? Who knows only you can know. Bonus points if you show how different the Great Valley looks in your AU.We already did a crossover type thing earlier this year so this idea might be a little too similar to do again. Still a good idea though, might be able to do something with it.
^Ooh, that's a good one.Those could potentially work! I like the spooky idea. As for unlikely encounter, looks like I'm doing a Rhett and Shorty drawing :rhett_brag
I thought of a couple more:
- Horror scene; draw something Halloween-related or otherwise spooky.
- Unlikely encounter. Draw two or more characters who were never shown interacting in official canon (or did so only minimally). How would these characters interact if they met each other?
I also notice this year and the previous had "Draw an OC." I would love to be able to give that one a shot next year.
:PAli
The OC prompt might be the only one I would try to participate in (maybe).I'll have to think on the OC one again. It worked really well the first year it was implemented but not so much the following year. Could always be on the table though.
Here's a boring but still funny idea for a prompt:
Swap colour patterns between two or more characters of their choice (with appropriate reactions to the sudden change)
Oh here's another one that could be funny.Ah yes, a Sucky prompt :bestsharptooth
EPIC FAIL!
Draw a character(s) of your choice as they experience a moment they'd rather forget. Whether tripping over a root in front of everyone or being caught doing something embarrassing, nobody is safe from the occasional fail!
We can push it back to Jan 14th then if that works better for everyone.I would really appreciate that :yes
Also thanks to Goldenwind and The Mr. E for participating in this current prompt so far!
Hey all!Hey! Glad to see a new member interested in joining in on the fanart prompts! Yes you can join in on the current one running as Stardust has pointed out. There are 6 prompts a year that run bi-monthly. Also feel free to check out this (https://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=15345.0) to see any previous prompts, the current one and the ones coming up for the rest of the year!
So, when exactly is the next drawing prompt?
I'm interested in joining, but I'm still wondering if its actually still a thing.
By all means jump in if you can and good luck! Though remember that this prompt ends at the end of this month.
I unfortunately won't be joining in on this prompt for the first time as I've been far to focused on moving. I did have an idea in mind but I don't have the time, and probably not even the skill, to do what I had in mind.
Thanks! Should be pretty decent overall I think, as long as the wildfires don't get in my way :bestsharptooth
Well I should mention that the fires weren't a problem at all during my move. Actually barely even saw any smoke as well, which was good.Thanks! Should be pretty decent overall I think, as long as the wildfires don't get in my way :bestsharptooth
Wildfires?! Oh boy...
@The jewelstone queen Sounds good, I look forward to seeing your art! :RubyCurious And yeah, I believe to have your piece added to the prompt masterlist the link needs to be sent to Flathead770.
regrhettI see what you did there… :rhett_brag
I have a lot of other projects going on right now for the holidays, so I’m not sure I’ll get to draw any LBT this month, but I’ll let you know if that changes.No worries, good luck with the projects!QuoteregrhettI see what you did there… :rhett_brag
I could actually see myself participating in some of those SRFG mentioned above, they are honestly really good!
^It's the same prompt for both March and April, so don't worry, you still have plenty of time. :bronGoodJob
Honestly, I don't know if I'll have time to do this one. Was too stressed last month and I've got a hell of a lot planned this month. I'll try to get at least a sketch done though.
No worries Jewelstone, pesky life stuff happens to us all.
I have to say I am so looking forward to the next prompt. Think a little throwback is in order. :bestsharptooth
Right, I'm not going to leave this one to the last minute. Actually, I'll see if I can get started on something sometime this week.
Me realising today that I'm yet again only a couple of days away from the deadline without making a proper start on my entry:
(https://media.giphy.com/media/pnPfFgZi3lnO/giphy.gif)
I swear, these things are like school assignments to me now. I'll feel bad if I miss any. :lol
(helped a lot with that fanfic that’ll likely never see the light of day whoops).Hopefully that's the Rhettverse fic you're totally writing right? :rhett_smile :rhett_grin
IIRC, I think I started this way back but only when you took over this really became a popular thing for a while. I'm glad we had so many entries over the years (a lot less from me than I'd like to admit) but sometimes life if more about the journey than about the results. It's been a great time and we can pick this up any time again if there's enough interest, I guess? :bronGoodJobA big shout out to you as well Ducky for getting the ball rolling with the prompts! When I came back to the GoF back in 2017 I had to pleasure of being able to join in on the 2nd ever prompt, and was a blast to come up with the craziest ideas possible for each one :bestsharptoothI wonder if the fanfic challenge is going to meet the same fate? Looking at participation last year :bolt
Feels like there’s a bit of a gap in the LBT generation right now. I wonder if the next wave might actually be the people who’ve been growing up with the series on YouTube Kids…That's an interesting point, and very well could be possible. It's either that or parents that watched it and now showing their kids. One of my coworkers at a job I worked at last year mentioned that he watched the first 2 LBT movies with his son, though this was for the first time for him as well. He made note of the drop in quality between the two and the amusing fact that there's 14 of them. :PLoofah
