That, is a great idea.

I had the thought a while ago (on a different forum) of all the members drawing themselves onto a simgle picture, which could be used as a banner or something to identify the forum people.
However, this idea is probably better. Each person could draw a character around the scene presented. It wont look perfect, they'll be loads of perspective issues, hight problems, etc etc... But I dont care really, would be a great collaboration of efforts.

How, is another matter. Maybe using a program such as OpenCanvas which is very easy to use PC tablets for the people who have them, using the layers to create your own peice without disturbing the others.
For people without PC tablets, (or like me who isnt good at using them), suppose some members could help taking a seperate picture, and adding to the main picture in the right place. I'm more than willing to help... but I really dont have the equipment or talent I used to. Practice, and the lack of it.

Yes, OC is the only way to go, imo... although there are alternatives known as PaintBBS, Oekakis and such. I think it could be even something that gets installed in the LTS server like a chatroom.

The problem might be that in OC you can have a maximum of 4 users (the hoster included) and it could suffer from lags, router configurations, pc problems...

hey, even in my down time I would be willing to do that.

It is possible, using only pencil, paper, printer and scanner back in the day me and Ekko made quite a few collaborated pictures. Probably the most significant ones where 'Matias' and 'Rival'.
Matias: Sketch - Fineline - Colour
Rival: Sketch - Fineline - Colour

He drew them both, and I printed them, added a background (since he wasnt very good at them), scanned and coloured it. (EDIT: With persmission, maybe I should post some of his later pictures that never made it to SR in a thread here?)
Pretty long winded but it is one possiblility. Could do the same but just add characters around like the backgrounds where added. The cons of this is, the picture would need colouring over again if parts where already coloured, since the printing/scanning would alter the colours. So maybe its best keeping it in sketch form and save colouring till last.

What a nice idea!   I'd be happy to take part but I don't think I'm going to have the time until a couple of weeks from now.   If people are OK to wait that long, then I'm in, if not, don't worry!
I thought your pic and theme were OK Brakusaetsya, why not start with them?   We can always try other themes later.   
Regarding adding pencil sketches/background, there shouldn't be a problem with a bit of photoshop trickery.   Even if the original artist doesn't have photoshop, I'm sure that others on here (myself included) would be happy to edit their contribution into the final pic.

Sorry i didn't understand at first. this is a terrific idea, very nice, and you started things off in a very nice way!  I like the idea and theme, and i don't think there's need to create a new thread for this. Well, if you think it's necessary i'll do it anyway! As for me continuing and adding, i can't be sure for now, i'll know better around tomorrow when i will know my schedule.

*thumbs up to the topic*

I like your idea! I've never seen this anywhere before (a sequential, offline drawing session, if I understood you right), and I think the idea is very good. I will try to participate, too, though I'm not good in drawing original characters.

I think you can, this topic is for everyone, no need to ask.
It should be even easier to "synchronize" stuff with drawing sessions than with writing ones, because even if you drew another part for the picture, and someone else has posted his improved version before you, you can just paste your addition (assuming you have used a separate layer for it) into the improved version, and you're there.
Will wait for your contribution!

Cool, sounds good to me.
I've already got the sketch all done and I just need to ink it and add colors.
Shouldn't be much longer, maybe tomorrow morning if I get myself together. ^^

D'oh! >.<
Okay non-colored... I can do that. ^^
It should take me no longer than 20 minutes then.

Sounds good, I can't wait to color mine.
I finished my turn. I'm having an off-day with hands, I'm sorry.
But, I hope it stiil looks okay. I tried to draw my hair like it is.

It's no problem.
I can't wait for others contributions and ther takes on costumes.
I was reading the eariler posts and I could make the background as soon as everyone's all done.
Just a thought...

Well, I think I've get another character. It's Monty "Phantom of the Opera" Burns . But it still a bit scetchy (I can trace it) and with low ammount of detail (I can add it, I hope so)...
(BTW. Can we draw only single character? or Can we add new details to already finished? If not, I don't think that this is nessesary to place all characters right now on the picture. I think that much more convinient would be draw characters separately. And than someone can gather them in one picture. It's a good way to agree with proportions also.)

You can make characters cover each other, crossing - I mean, it's not needed to draw only standing characters one near another, you can make characters look like a crowd at the party. Also you can try to make your personage interact to others somehow... It'll be good if we could make finished pic look like a party, not only row of characters. And you can add details too, I think.

Monty is funny, it'll be good to see him traced

Excellent idea, brakusaetsya! I think I will try to draw something when I can, if that's alright.

That's not a bad idea, actually.
I use my friends(and my own) OekakiBBS frequently and it's easy to use and it's fun for any artist to draw and chat.
The Oekaki's main page is customizeable so you could fix it to accomodate LTS.
I would be a happy girl if we could see a special LTS oekaki room. ^^

I would contribute again, because I had fun with drawing my part. But, I'm guessing it's only one turn per person, right?
