Yea.

I've been terribly lazy with drawing lately, and what would be a better way to get me to draw again than have an angry Hookbill pestering me if it takes me too long?

Thanks for supporting this incredibly silly game.

The benefits of this game are that everyone is drawing at once, rather than in a chain. So it should be done sooner than a MASSIVE Paper Telephone run.

I am no artist.

In the one art class I was forced to take when I was 12, my final project was a terrible drawing of a monster with a huge sword and a shoulder mounted grenade launcher. The art teacher didn't approve.

And for our final pottery project we were supposed to make an ornate pitcher with a lid. I made a four-legged monster-looking thing, hollowed out the inside, and then forced a small hole through from its mouth down through its neck to its body so that you could pour liquid out of its gaping maw.

Again, the art teacher didn't approve.

But this little game gives me hope, Hookbill. Surely here on the Downs my work will not be looked down on. I can redeem myself, and become a respected artist.

Or at least I can become a terrible artist that is laughed at rather than sent to the principal.

The Downs wouldn't approve.

Phantoms aside; Hookbill, when are you planning to start this thing? Or when do you think it would start... and how much time are you planning to give to the... artists... to draw their pieces?

I'll start as soon as we have a good number of artists. I'll probably give a limit of... say... a week at the most? It's only a small picture, so it shouldn't take that long...

I'd call that a decent shot. Week is enough if you have other duties pressing on certain days - or even several days - but not too much to wait for the outcome.
