Monthly Art Challenge: November 2017 Edition!

Here's the run-down on how it works. Every month, I'll post a set of themes or parameters to follow. URPG members can make art, using any medium, and if it's posted during that month and fits the theme appropriately, they earn cash in addition to the Pokemon they're trying to capture, regardless if it passes or fails. Curators will also earn a bonus if they curate a piece of artwork in a timely manner.

For now, this is only applicable to artists twice per month as a trial period. If it works out, the limit might be removed. We'll see. Curators receive a bonus for all the art they curate, so long as it's in the correct time frame.
Curators, please address the theme when you curate a piece of work to tell the artist if their art applies to the bonus or not. Artists, please use common sense when fulfilling the themes. The art should incorporate one of the themes in an important/meaningful way to qualify for the bonus.

For example, if the theme is the ocean and an artist only draws one seashell sitting in the corner, this does not count for the theme. This goes for colors too—they should have some meaning and be purposeful, not just be there on a whim or by lucky chance. If desired, artists can type out a short paragraph explaining which themes they went for and why they think it fits that month's parameters.

**Note that the monthly theme only applies to capture attempts and not cash.

However, this bonus does count toward your Legend Tracker for both artists and curators.
Rewards

For Artists:
  • Simple or Easiest Rank – 2k
  • Medium Rank+ - 5k


For Curators:
  • 1k extra per piece
  • Must be curated before 1 week after the month ends


November Prompts
Genre prompt is suspended until later notice. We may update later with one or start it anew some time in the future if enough people are interested.

Fresh from Halloween, fall has truly settled in for the year and people have begun preparations for the celebrations to come this month and next. For many, this means Thanksgiving is the next big thing, giving thanks for being able to spend time with family and having food on the table. Let’s remember those ties that binds us to our love ones.

Did you know that this month we celebrate World Kindness Day? While not a cemented holiday, it reminds us to be kind to one another and not just because of the season, but all year round. Another cool thing about November is that the schools, at least around here celebrate whats called ‘Grandparent’s’ day, where kids invite their grandparents out to schools for lunch with them. It was often a very heartwarming warming day for me and possibly other kids, so lets not forget our parents parents this month~! With that said, have fun with these month’s prompts!
Applicable themes are:

  • Cornucopia / Abundance / Harvest
  • Feast
  • Turning or fallen leaves
  • Orange and browns
  • Gratitude
  • Family
  • Change


Feel free to post any art within the month of November including one or more of these things to receive the bonus. If you could, please put a [NOV] tag in the thread name or on the art pieces you want to count for that month. Remember, artists can only get the bonus twice. Once we see how this plays out, it may be adjusted.

Got an idea for next month? Share it in the thread!
