I'm looking for a new project to fill some of my free time and I was thinking, since Halloween is coming up, why not draw a group photo of me and my guildmates as monsters?
I specifically wanted to come to this guild first because I had an interesting idea:
Since this guild has people of all different backgrounds and religions finding some common ground to discuss religion respectfully, I thought I would assign some monster/demon/creature to each religion.
For example drawing avatars of one religion as vampires, another as werewolves, another as zombies, etc.
And be very clear on the fact that I'm not trying to label anyone, I just thought it would be a cool way to show pride.
If nobody really likes this idea though, I understand.

Aaaanyway, my art style is like the girl in my signature. That's a drawing of my old avatar that I made.
I'll probably make a clean black and white copy. I might color it, but October is pretty busy for me.

But I want your opinions before I start anything.
And if I decide to actually make it then I'll post submission forms and everything later.

Don't be afraid to tell me if you think it's a stupid idea. XD



EDIT: Order form format is up!

If you'd like to be in the group photo, please post following this format:
Username:
Religion:
Expression/Other:

I'm going to label everyone with their username at the end, so if you'd rather I put your nickname, please indicate that under username.
And of course you don't have to post your religion. If you identify with more than one, I'll do my best to show that.
And for other, if you want to be interacting with someone else or want a certain expression, I'll do my best to make everyone happy with that as well.

Also I'm keeping submissions up for a few weeks so if you think you're going to change your avatar later in October, don't feel pressured.
Just please note that.

And I'm always taking suggestions as to what monster will represent who.
Thanks to everyone who signs up and thanks for your support!

It sounds like a cute idea but I doubt think we could get each religion to agree on a certain monster. sweatdrop

Probably not, but my biggest worry is that people won't want to be labeled by their religion. XD
I think I'll be able to reach some kind of comprimise on the actual monsters that I'll use.


And thanks everyone for your support!
If I get enough support or not too many complaints, then I'll put up order forms.
I just want to make sure that people are okay with this idea.

It's not Halloween. It's gorge out on chocolates, and be completely sadistic for a day. biggrin

I'm trying to think what would be more amusing. Atheists as angels or devils....angels win. xd

Atheist should be zombies for all of the time's I've had to listen to them refer to Jesus as 'zombie Jesus' xd

@brainnsoup, I wouldn't worry too much about which type you choose to portray each religion as. Everyone who wants to join should understand that it's not meant to be insulting, it's for fun.

I don't get it...
How you define some religions and make them into monsters?

There must be a good way for the analogy...

That the key to make this idea epic (or just an epic fail)...

Well, good luck for the participants...

Well I was origionally thinking either dramatic exagerations of all the stupid misconceptions people have about them.
Atheists - Demons (Incubi & Succubi maybe?) Christians - Angels Pagans - Witches(Like the withes in cartoons)

Or have the monsters be ironic.
Atheists - Angels Christians - Witches Catholics - Vampires

Oooor since I have a limited understanding of certain religions and again to stay away from insulting people, randomly assign them.

Zombies is a great idea though!
I never even thought of that.

I wouldn't really be defining the religions with monsters.
Some of the choices might have a sarcastic meaning, but some will probably just be picked randomly.
It's just for fun. :3
