Sexy Art Challenges! - any interest?

[AnnaLandin]

Sounds interesting! =) Got any examples of what kind of prompts/challenges you used to post, so we have some idea of what to expect?

Hey I would be interested, I've been trying to put a little more time into doing art outside of comics, which pretty much didn't happen at all this year and last year x.x

I don't really draw adult art outside of commissions so it would be a change of pace, though I don't expect I'll be making anything too exciting ^^;; I'm very cheese cake artist, I more enjoy images that tease you and don't show you everything.

Absolutely! It was a looonnng time ago though, so everybody I still keep up with has gone through tremendous stylistic developments since then, myself included! The archive is here, so check it out if you like but, of course, be warned that it's all pretty much NSFW. There isn't anything too explicit as I recall, but it is unquestionably for mature audiences only!

We unfortunately didn't have a very long run before RL interfered and, even after spreading out the deadlines to month-long ones, eventually the challenges stopped from lack of participation. I wanted to prevent that this time, so I'm seeking interest before I get it started.

That's totally fine! As it says in the FAQ, it's just a challenge that gives you the freedom to explore as much as you want in that direction, but doesn't require you to be any particular level.

I'm glad to see some interest! Hopefully we can drum up enough to do a challenge or two and see how it goes!

Was looking through the past prompts and they sound fun!
I'll join in and try to complete what I can!

[agentfink]

I can't wait to see what you come up with (was that 20 characters????) haha

[Menbung]

This is a pretty good idea ! =w=

[pammella]

I'd love to participate

[KSlinger]

I don't draw nearly enough sexy stuff so count me in.

[KoreanTacos]

So you want us to post them here or somewhere else?

[WhatAHero]

yooo i'm actually interested in this. Haven't drawn decent smut/NSFW in a long time.

Hello!

I think it would probably be best to just grab a tumblr (they're free and easy to set up) and then we can still make a monthly/bimonthly prompt topic here on the forums and crosspost ones that are okay within the Tapastic rules. The reason why I'd like the art to be posted on tumblr is for primarily two reasons: first, because tumblr's rules are much more permissive than Tapastic's, so artists will be less restricted and feel a greater freedom to be expressive; second, because image uploading isn't working for a lot of people (myself included) on the Tapastic forums, so we'd have to post them somewhere else anyway, and having a post on tumblr makes it easier to use the image URLs here.

There's a FAQ page that should answer most questions, and I've revised it a little bit to reflect what I wanted to do this time around. It may take a couple of rounds of the challenge to really get it in ship shape, but I think we've got a lot of promise here!

Would you all prefer doing the first challenge on 15 January and have the deadline be 30 January, or just dive right in on New Year's and have the deadline be 15 January? There's usually a "rest week" between challenges, so it doesn't get too frantic. We could even just do one challenge per month at first, if you'd rather. It's really up to all of you! I have plenty of prompts ready.

Let me know your thoughts and I'll get cracking.

As long as there's a second announcement or a kind of reminder (I do have a series I work on, and school). Then I would love to post a submission, is there a limit I'm allowed to post or is it just one per person?

[hushicho]

Oh yes, there certainly will be! My idea is this for timing:

First announcement
Followed by 1 week to work
Reminder
Followed by 1 week + 1-2 days to work
Deadline

That way, we'll have 2 weeks plus a day or two flexibility for those who lost track of time anyway.

[WakaXO]

I'm always up for drawing smexy art, so count me in! XD

[Rueleer]

YESS ////

I like drawing the human body but always felt like a bit of a perv drawing... sexy? without any particular reason. :'D Having actual prompts to follow would elevate some of that... guilt??

Worry that people will be like 'okk so why did you pick this kink? r u into it or something' and me having to be like ' I JUST THINK GARTERS AND BELTS ARE CUTE OK???? QAQQQ '

[MoonSquid]

I'm totally up for that! I don't tend to paint out of my comfort zone without prompts, but prompts always give me my best work! I'd love to try this out!

[jennula]

I'd love to try and join in, sounds like fun =)

[hushicho]

This is great! I think I'm going to post the first challenge Monday or Tuesday, but I'll give people about three weeks instead of two, plus a little grace period. We can gradually get into the challenges and then step up the pace later. If that sounds good to people, I'll get it all ready!

[MidZM]

Considering I'm at the point in my story in which a Succubus is introduced I could probably turn her into something sexy. It seems interesting although a bit out of my comfort zone since I don't ever draw anything "explicit" per-say.

So I know I haven't made my series yet, but I here am dropping my hat in the ring. Do i have to make another account somewhere on internet somewhere not on Tapastic to participate, or do I have to upload it at all? Are there any rules or accounts I need to make somewhere? because I'm interested.
