I'm not really sure if I am allowed to ask / request things being new to this forum, but.. Like on the main forum there are various competitions that the community can get involved with, how about having something on here simular? Something like a logo or icon comp for this forum, or sig comp? Just a thought.  |

Fun Challenges area ...{humor} I think we're all just too obsessive around this forum to pull it off or stick with it ... ;D Though the challenges are like questions in some ways. They can help to develop skills from trying to obtain either a specific result or though the attempt at a specific effect as outlined. Good workouts, but may or may not be in line with what goals people have for their use with PDN. Like on the main forum, its pretty much a sideshow that doesn't gain much traction for this reason or that. Not dismissing the idea of wanting to see more of the same. Just may need a different push. New blood, new life and all that rot ... In that thread there is an ideas thread. Might see what's clicked with everyone and offer up some new ideas to stir the pot ...

It doesn't matter how new you are, you're a valued member of Fans therefore your input/ suggestions are just as important as anyone elses  Barbie' has tried to get a couple of comps going, but I'm just as guilty of not getting my arse into gear and competing  A new logo comp could be quite interesting with new blood here ... |

Hmm, logo's I'm pretty good with those I would compete, but would not like the responsibility of awarding a winner  IMO everyone is a winner, it's just hard to decide on who is second place |

That's where a knife fight in the parking lot comes in useful ...  Or in this case, polling and we all have to accept the results of the democratic process ... |

Last comp/challenge & it really was more of a challenge was to create a face from smoke & to write a tute for it.
Helen & Delpart did a great job & Sargon & Welshy too I think added useful information but what I really was looking for was to write a tute on how to install & use custom brushes for dummies 101. Anyone up for writing that one?? Please, pretty please with sugar on top?
Nitenurse, I am pleased you asked. Ok, how about a new PDN Fans logo with 2012 as the theme?

barbieq25. I like the idea of that a lot Would it have to include the 2012 in the logo? I know how to install custom brushes, I (roughly) know about using them, but as for writing a tut on it, that would blow my tiny mind ;D

I have been using custom brushes a couple times and even downloaded some adobe photoshop brushes, but I don't have enough knowledge about it yet to write that tut... sorry

I like the idea of a 2012 logo. As for a custom brushes ... I've only ever used it about 10 times despite having close to 120 brushes installed I find the 600 pixel limit quite off putting when working on larger images |

Anyone up for writing that one?? Please, pretty please with sugar on top? Nitenurse, I am pleased you asked. Ok, how about a new PDN Fans logo with 2012 as the theme? My fault there BBQ ... I'm up for writing it (the will is there), just got stuck in an OCD loop. Hence no output from me on that topic yet. Agree with the logo idea for 2012. That at least sounds practical and allows for the best range of creative expression from the various talents and styles available here abouts ... ** Disclaimer about Delpart: (Yes, I really do mean OCD. For some that term is tongue and cheek. For myself its an actual medical diagnosis ... mainly its a side effect from the trauma of the constant stream of migraines and some other genetic/nurture influence. In some cases, like this one, it always appears to look like either 100% or nothing. I got stuck in a loop when I was trying to get a complete picture of how mini's works and keep looping every time I feel like starting in on this ... with work and some other things going on I've not been able to work on the behavioral mods needed to complete that task yet ... Suffice to say, my head gets *really* complicated at times, and I wish I'd not committed out loud to the effort as that's what more than likely caused it to turn into an issue for me ... Argh, this always sounds like excuse making to people. Hopefully my other diatribes up till this point demonstrate that I've not just *simply* blown off the task I offered to do ... This aspect of my OCD in this 100% or nothing is great for scholastic tests and house cleaning, but just rotten for so many other things when it gets the better of me. I wont even go into how many paper towels and such I use up during a rough week to keep myself from examining/worrying about my hands ... ) |

I didn't use brushes enough to write a tut, but whoever's willing, I'll be more than happy to view the tut!
