What is ArtSlam, you ask? ArtSlam at LiveJournal WordJam! Artslam's Literary Sister SUBMIT Sign Up (Open) Live Chat Rules FAQ Participants Moderators Achievements How Do I Submit? ArtSlam is a community geared toward character and concept generation. Every summer from June 1 - August 31, artists of every skill level come together to create concepts, share their ideas and provide feedback to one another. The idea is to draw and expand on concepts every day. Whether it's an artist doing a drawing a day for three months or another who draws when they can, a little here and there, for one month - all are welcomed and encouraged. Our community loves creativity, artistic exploration and challenging artists to go beyond their comfort zone and grow. This blog is our Tumblr crossover where we'll be sharing our self-selected work. Come and join us... Or if you'd just like to enjoy what we've worked to create, then follow us!

Art Slam

It’s that time of year again! ArtSlam starts June 1st and ends August 31st So now’s the time to sign up and get ready!

What is ArtSlam about? Artslam is an event that challenges artists of every skill level to pick a concept and develop it for one, two or three months. Generally speaking, if you have a character, setting or story that you would like to develop, this community encourages you to think about it every day and get some sketches down that you can later use to develop your concept more thoroughly. Think of it as an artistic NaNoWriMo, with the goal being one sketch a day.

How do I participate? Artslam started as as Livejournal community, the original sign ups and posts can be found there. There is also a Dreamwidth community mirror if you have an account with Dreamwidth:

https://artslam.livejournal.com/2316003.html https://artslam.dreamwidth.org/24923.html

Alternatively, there is an ArtSlam Discord. Sign up on the server and you get your own personal channel to share your art with everyone else on the server. https://discord.gg/RJe8Rt3

It is also possible to post to tumblr with the tag #artslam but it’s very hard to organize something on tumblr.

JUNE SIGN UP on the livejournal artslam

Hi guys, the June sign ups for this year’s artslam over at livejournal is finally here!

As always you pick your own theme and mode:

HARD (all three months)

MEDIUM (two months, whether it’s June and July, June and August, or July and August)

EASY (one month, either June or July or August)

if you have a change of heart in the middle, you can always change it at the June or July sign ups.

So far it doesn’t look like there’ll be a tumblr version of artslam, but I don’t know what the other mods thinks. I’ll just say the livejournal version is a whole lot more fun what with a proper commenting system in place. So please come on over, we’re a friendly bunch.

Again,sign up here!

me as a kid: why do adults talk about nothing but the weather all the time? that's so boring! who cares?

me literally every day as an adult: why the fuck is it so hot outside. the earth has no business being this hot

Art Slam | Days 4 - 7 Petre and Dora ( zanneh‘s OC’s) The only reason this covers four days is because I redrew Petre on separate days which you can see from the aggressive erasure. I’ll likely redraw Dora again as well but I thought I’d show this one since I like things about it.  BlackPearl#2 and some doodling for an idea I had for a Mortar and Pestle sketch (my ocs) I was frustrated over how the last Black Pearl ink was rushed a bit and I didn’t get to show the collar I’d articulated in her sketches. So here’s a clear image. Young, little Pestle also looks after Mortar, not just the other way around.

Art slam: Day Three. Another small sneak peak at the WIP illustration I’m working on. Should finish tomorrow! =D

[artslam]

Art Slam | Days 1 - 3 Sketches day one and two and decided to ink one for the third. ArtSlam for me is going to be daily drawing and inking for 30 days now that my commissions are done. So I decided to pick up some old things I put aside. One of these days I’ll do a fanart scene that isn’t from a sad scene.  /insert dark hollow laugh here/ Pearl is (c) SquareEnix, Redesign for funsies

I unfortunately was unable to finish a “hard” Artslam this year. Which sucks because I did so well last year. But I’m trying to at least finish off the summer strong by completing August. Here’s my new day one: An illustration inspired by my trip to Japan.
