Hey guys, I'd love to do another Extra Challenge (for a freebie chit) for Day 78 (day after tomorrow, for me it's Sunday). But I'm drawing a blank on what the challenge should be.
Anyone got any ideas? It should be more work than a typical theme, and usually they require additional interaction with the group or the rest of Gaia.
I'm just gonna leave the first theme for Day 78 blank for now, and change it when I decide what the theme will be.
I'm sorry you had so much trouble getting it uploaded, but good job being resourceful!

well I'm definitely doing it! if no one can think of anything new, maybe reuse an old extra challenge? Like the one where we do some freebies and link the thread?

Yah, it didn't help that I was already frustrated that I couldn't think of what to draw that day. Thanks, though I thought that the "story" would have come out longer than that. sweatdrop

I'd prefer not to repeat themes (with the obvious exceptions of the tutorials and the "finish an earlier drawing" themes). Maybe a Draw-It-Again or an assigned master copy? HRM

1. Chatterbox is a random place. It'd be funny if we drew a picture based on a thread name/topic posted there. Also, must use at least 2 reference pictures.
idea 2. Go into requests forum and find someone's avi/oc to draw for free as a gift to them! Maybe try to work in a background/environment, even if it is a simple one.
edit: i realize these are mostly geared towards drawing/painting, but for writing, 1) use 2 words that previously were unknown to you 2) pay careful consideration to the environment of the character --give life to the world, more so than the subject... or something X'D
Silence. Photobucket is acting up for me. Yes, it's Naruto inspired. I don't actually own Naruto. This war arc would have ended months ago.
~In the quiet of the evening~
Silence was deafening. You could break a man's bones, rend him unable to move his limbs, tramatize him for life by destroying that which he held in high regard; and he still wouldn't talk. Not for days or hours or months. You could cut out his tongue and get no intel, regardless of whether he lied or not. Put him in prison for life, and you'd be no closer to finding the turning point of a war; the weakness of the enemy, or the essential facts of a murder spree that would free one innecent man in exchange for a guilty one.
In front of the interrogator, sat a virtual stranger. No identifiable village, no authentic name, by Kami, this man had a story that would bring grown men to tears. The defiant proof that he had to be broken sat in the hands of the interrogator; a little black book listing crimes and costs and the value of this man dead or alive. It had gone on to long this war. The Leaf village interrogator had learned of too much death, hate, and broken spirits. On the warfront, they had a hero. In the background, lay the remains of shattered dreams and long-dormant torment in the forms of memory and loved ones who were killed in action, missing in action, or just missing.
No amount of sweet talking, threats, or conjoling would matter at this point. There was simply too. much. Two hours passed before the sweating fumbling man twitched. Another hour before water had to be refilled. 15 minutes after, the target cracked. All the while, the Leaf-nin sat opposite, the only sound in the room the scratching of a pen and quiet turning of pages. Lies or no, the soldier had enough of this war. They may be putting an innocent to death, but it was a means to an end. The interrogator got up, his chair not even squeaking and walked out the room to fill out a report.
The broken man lurched over the moment door closed, bawling like a baby, unsure of his fate.

EDIT: How's bout a piece of someone's avatar? Someone within the art challenge, participation or not. It could be the current, or their art request even. You'd just have to write, draw, or sing (I'm sure there's sites) about that avatar.
Sort of like those Anon gifting poems, but specific to the challenge; something from the regular planned theme would be included, so if someone decided Sou's avatar was so gorgeous frogs would volunteer to die just to meet with the cat, and 'frogs' were one of the themes..
"Sou was so wonderful, and the frogs were enamored. A number dared to talk despite the history betwixt their two species..and low, was it a tragicomedy, that became of those poor souls!...*insert required length of poem/song/ whatever.*
note: Sou doesn't have to be the target.The cat was just the inspiration!
