Where's the creativity at?

Journal Entry: Tue Sep 11, 2007, 11:39 AM
:bulletgreen::bulletred::bulletblue::bulletpurple: NEWS! :bulletgreen::bulletred::bulletblue::bulletpurple:

Hey, isn't anyone gonna use the april colors? :D
We need more submissions!

My plan is to update with new colors once every monday, so if we want the activity going, we need drawings/doodles/scribbles/stuff to match the colors. I won't update with new colors if there haven't been at least 2 submissions to a color-template!

Let the creativity flow, people! :heart:

~*karrey

:bulletgreen::bulletred::bulletblue::bulletpurple: Welcome to the 4colors club! :bulletgreen::bulletred::bulletblue::bulletpurple:

The idea of the club is that we post a scale of four new colors once in a while which you, the members of the club has to use in a deviation.

The concept is based on a game ~SneakySir and *karrey used to play over msn, where we discovered that, when limited to work with only four colors, that maybe you would never normally even use, you start to think and work along new lines and create stuff you'd never normally dream of painting. It can be a very refreshing creative boost for anyone who enjoy working with colors.

We will update the featured deviation with a new color scale once in a while. Simply download it to your desktop and use them in your submissions. Old color scales can be found here: [link] Feel free to use them as well, even if it's passed the time.

To join, simply send a PM to either ~4colors, ~SneakySir or *karrey with the word "join" written somewhere in the subject line.

:bulletgreen::bulletred::bulletblue::bulletpurple:
Rules and guidelines:

:bulletgreen:The idea is that you use ONLY the exact four colors provided each week and make a picture based on them. However, if for some reason you feel the task to be impossible you may include slight variations e.g. for shadings or highligts. But we prefer submissions consisting entirely and only of the four exact colors. Examples: ([link] [link])

:bulletred:Besides the provided colors, you may only use black or white as background.

:bulletblue:When you've joined the club, you must put a link to the ~4colors frontpage in either your sig or at the bottom of each journal entry. If you remove the link, you'll be disqualified.
To do this, either write without the spaces : icon4colors : to get :icon4colors: (does not work in your signature) or : dev4colors : to get ~4colors

:bulletpurple:If you want to make a submission to the club, first submit it on your own DA page, and then PM the club or any of the admins with the subject line "submission" and a link to your submission in the note. It will then be uploaded to the ~4colors account.
All submissions will contain the author's name and avatar and a link to the original submission in the description. Comments will be disabled.

:bulletgreen:You are allowed to submit more than one picture for each color scale, of course. :)

:bulletgreen:Submitting scraps to the club is OK. It's only the context of the submission that matters, not its technical quality.

:bulletgreen:If you play the four-colors game with somebody else, or yourself, with different color-templates than the ones listed, feel free to submit those as well.

:bulletblue:If you have any questions/suggestions don't hesitate to send a PM to *karrey.

:bulletpurple:Use your imagination and have fun!

It sure is. :) Both of me and SneakySir are kinda busy though, so we are running it in our own pace until we got our hands off things. :)

You don't have to submitt at all if you don't want to
There's no deadline whatsoever for each weeks colors either, so you can go back and pick a previous set of colors to make a submission for anytime you want.

Hi, sounds good, but if I can't make something once a week?

nej nej jag tycker det låter som en bra ide och jag gör det gärna någon gång när jag känner för att rita på datorn igen :)
jag är själv ganska mycket in i experimentella men väl gjorda färgval som är ganska ovanliga men passar hur bra som helst p.g.a. kvaliten på målandet själv. men jah.

PANG!

~sausage-of-joy:iconsausage-of-joy: Feb 15, 2006, 12:29:46 PM
jojo jag fattade poängen från början.
men strunt samma. det var inte riktigt så jag menade men det finns inget syfte till att diskutera det.
jao jao.

Jag förstår din poäng.. Men grejen är den att om man vill ha färger som passar ihop, kan man ju bara välja själv och rita en bild när som helst.. Meningen är att man ska få en utmaning med färger som kanske inte alls går så bra ihop.. Eller som kanske gör det om man lyckas göra nåt smart av det. Sen är detta ju bara första färgomgånge, det finns möjlighet att det blir mer harmoniska färgskalor med i framtiden.

Det är ju olika färgval varje vecka, så det är ju inget som säger att det inte kommer variera på olika sätt och themes/schemes/nivåer. Man är ju med då man tycker färgvariationen är nått man får idé av, eller bara vill ha en utmaning.

Hittills har jag utövat "leken" fem gånger, med olika färgkombos, och även de färger som haft samma ljushet har blivit intressanta. Kanske inte hur roliga/extraordinära som helst, men det är alltid en experience. :) Även i monotona färgalternativ med ung. samma styrka kan resultaten bli intressant. Man kan iaf urskilja nått.

Vore kul om du va med med dina skills åtminstone nån gång. Men om du tycker det är tråkigt och ingen vidare bra idé så ska jag inte tvinga dig - vore bara intressant som sagt. :D

Bröl!

jao jao. orkar inte diskutera. men jo det kan väl bli kul resultat. fast det hade väl kanske blivit lite mer lyckat om ni valde färger med större variation i mörk och ljus nivå om du förstår vad jag menar. at ta färger som alla är ganska ljusa... ja...
strunt samma.
förutom det så har jag sett folk som kan göra intressanta och bra saker med hur extrema färgval som helst. så jojo.

*SneakySir:iconSneakySir: Feb 15, 2006, 8:50:21 AM
hela utmaningen/poängen med klubben är ju att inte använda den färgskala man normalt skulle göra en bild av. Om det inte är en väl avvägt fest för ögonen spelar det ingen roll, det är inte poängen.
Open your mind yo.

hah om ni bara kör med "over saturated"(suger på svenske errrr) färger så lär det ju bara vara en pain att kolla på.
färg analys yo.
