:pointr:About:
CreativeGauntlet is about challenging artists to better improve themeselves. Challenges will take place and participants have to follow the rules accordingly. Challenges often come with themes. These themes are in no way meant to limit your creativity. These challenges are as the name applies a challenge to your skills. They are to push your boundaries as artists and hopefully you all will discover skills and create wonderful pieces while you are running nilly willy without your normal restraints. Of course it would be nice if you do try to at LEAST try to stay true to whatever theme or challenge you are attempting. Others may want to compare their interpretation with yours.

BUT we are not only just a group of challenges. We are also here to help others with their art. Members are welcome to submit art they want to have critiqued by others. We are all here to improve and challenge ourselves. Although do keep in mind that if you submit things to be critiqued, people will be honest.



Guidelines


:pointr:Thinking about Joining?
Anyone is accepted as long as you follow the rules and that you're nice to the other members.

:pointr:When it comes to Critique'ing
Flamers are discouraged. Don't just point everything wrong that's in the piece. Try suggesting ways that they could fix their mistakes or what could make it a better piece.



Artwork Related


:pointr:Please don't submit old artwork. We'd like to keep all the artwork up to date.

:pointr:What kind of mediums are allowed?
Depending on what challenge you're doing may require only certain media, but otherwise we pretty much accept all types of media.

:pointr:Are bases/tracing allowed?
No, we don't allow such things in here!! We'd like the works to reflect the efforts of yourself. Group is about challenging yourself and using other artworks is a BIG nono. :shakefish:

:pointr:Try to submit to the right category. It's a hassle to try and keep everything organized on our end.
