Welcome to Guuurl, That's My Jam!

Here, have some rules:

1. Prompts are bi-weekly (lasting 14 days) and the rotational schedule to pick prompts can be found to your right, under ►Playlist. An "at-a-glance" version of the current jam can be found under ►Now Playing.

2. Posting a fill for each prompt isn't mandatory, but you MUST post at least one fill for the prompt preceding yours, otherwise your turn to pick a prompt will be skipped.

3. Please don't ask to join the blog (unless we know you). This place was created for classmates to keep in touch upon graduation, and as such it's pretty much invite only. You're more than welcome to follow for updates or play along at home and post the results at your own blogs. :)

The Jeweler!



I got crystal manipulation.

I may or may not have totally rushed this and it's not actually done, so I threw gradients on it to
pretend like it was.

A jeweler finds her gifts of crystal manipulation, and while she's totally tempted to abuse it for making tons of money, she uses her powers to fight crime...Probably against jewelery store robberies!

That's actually a pretty good idea. Hindsight is 20/20.

Prompt 1 ending!

Just a reminder that Prompt 1 expires tomorrow, so get your fills in before Thursday is out!

The Playlist has been updated, so take a gander to see when it's your turn to post a prompt. :D

pissy little girl

I got Self-Detonation ~



Meet Tantrum. The daughter of a super-villain who is known to explode (literally) when she doesn't get her way. Once she's devastated the surrounding area, she gets tuckered out and takes a nice long nap.

Isn't she adorable?

Don't even ask her directions to the kitchen

I gave up on my original prompt, which, hilariously, was platform creation - twice. Instead, I got targeting! I made this lady, who is probably a rampaging super villain by the looks of it..

Razzmatazz

I got the lame-o power of charging up other ppl's powers :( So here's Razzmatazz! She's a mad scientist who invented a supercharger taser gun. When her allies are weary from a tough battle, she shoots them a jolt of energy....

*updated with lab outfit! :B*

16.4.11

Behold!


My random power was the enigma force which is a weird "powers cosmic and universal" kinda deal. So instead of a female silver surfer, I created Garzod, warmaster of Drun VI! He controls his world's movement with his thoughts and travels the galaxy looking for the most worth combatants to fight in his games. His coming brings much change to whatever world he lurks! NO HE IS NOT A GIRAFFE! GARZOD KNOWS OF NO GIRAFFE!

Labeling Post

Derp. Ignore this post, plz. This is just here for me to create labels as people join, because blogger is dumb and won't let me just make them on their own. :/

Once everyone has used their label at least once, I'll delete this. :)

Prompt 001

Well, I guess I'll kick things off myself. :D

So, I've been watching Young Justice lately and have more or less become re-obsessed with super heroes to be fair, the periods of time when I'm not obsessed with them are really short, haha and yeah. I kind of want to draw superheroes.

So the prompt is this! Head over to the Superpower Wiki and click random page (found on the top right). Whatever you get is now your inspiration to create a character.

The character doesn't have to be a Superhero or Supervillain in the classic, comic-book sense either. Could be an RPG-esque gladiator from a fantasy world, a super-sentai power ranger or just whatever the hell you want, basically. So long as they're either some kind of protagonist or antagonist and have a really cool (or really lame, depending on what you get from hitting random) power that makes them super. However much or little back-story you want to give them is up to you (it only adds to the fun).

Introduction Post

Welcome!

All y'all bitches have been invited to take part in an ongoing Art Jam! The purpose of this blog is to host bi-weekly jam topics for all of us to create to. I know for a fact that some of the most fun I've had, ever, is when jamming with friends and since we're all being cast to the winds this May, I figure that this would be a great way to a) keep in touch and b) keep us all drawing for fun.

Here are some basic rules/guidelines/information to get everyone acclimated.
  • Jam prompts can be anything at all. A jumble of random words, song lyrics, genres, random quotes, absolutely anything that strikes your fancy. They can be as concise or as vague as you want (though, not so vague as to leave people stumped) and are limited only by what you can come up with. Samurais, robots, pin-ups, samurai pin-up girls on giant mecha; it's alllll good! Once the prompt is posted, I'll whip up an "at-a-glance" version which can be seen your right, under Now Playing.
  • A Jam will last for two weeks (14 days) from the day it is posted. Obviously, they could run a day or two longer depending on when people get their prompts up.
  • Filling a jam prompt can be done any which way. Inspired enough to do a full illustration? Go for it! A post-it doodle is all you got? That's fine too! There is no base requirement for what constitutes a fill. So long as you're playing, it's all good! Also, you can submit as many fills for a topic that you want, if you're feeling particularly inspired.
  • The rotational schedule for picking prompts will be determined once everyone who wants to participate has accepted the blog invite. After that, I'll pop everybody's name into an online randomizer and voila! You can then see the results to your right, under Playlist.
  • In terms of posting frequency, while it would be ideal that everybody post at least one fill for each topic, we all know that life happens or that sometimes you just don't feel like it. To keep things fair, the rule will be that you must post a fill for the challenge before yours. That is to say, if you want to have your turn to post a jam prompt, then you have to make at least one fill for the previous prompt, otherwise your turn will be skipped and it'll be on to the next person on the list. :)
  • Okay, so, labels. In order to keep things nice and neat, I'll make up a label for each of you to use when posting. That way, if you ever feel like looking up something you/someone else did from way-back-when, then you can just sift through those entries as opposed to everything. I'll make artist labels as people make their first fill posts. After that, you can just apply them yourselves as you're posting fills. When posting a jam prompt, then obviously use the "♫ Prompt" label.
  • For now, I'd like to keep the group smallish, just to see how things go. In the future, if people begin to show interest in joining the jam, let me know and I'll send them an invite. In a similar vein, I'll change the blog to viewable for members only once everybody has joined. This is to keep things private, personal and pressure-free. I figure if we like our fills enough, they can just be re-posted to our main blogs for the world to see.
  • Lastly, and most importantly: HAVE FUN. Otherwise, what the hell is the point?
So, enough chit-chat. Let's get the party started!
