DETAILS
- It occured to me recently that there really isn't something like this on Land of Art. This post will be in the sidebar for easy access.
- This post is for making suggestions of any kind. If you have a challenge idea, maybe you want to suggest a new type of art be added, anything.
- This will be a post that will allow you to get golden tickets.
- This is a permanent post, it'll last forever, there will not be new ones each phase. Just note, if you suggest a challenge, there is no guarantee on when it will get posted, might not be until the next phase, might be the current one. Just know that I add it to my list.

Good Day Members,

I am looking for anyone who would like to assist in making headers for future challenges. This is how it will work. I'll comment below with a Challenge Title, and whomever would like to, can claim it and then go and create a header with the title on the header.

RULES
Type: Headers (400x300)
- Header must have provided title on it
- The header must show something similar to that of the title but if you're not sure, ask a question.

GOLDEN TICKETS
15 = per header created
TOTAL: 15 - ?

If you have any questions, ask it on the questions thread.

This will be in the sidebar for easy access.

Thanks,

IMPORTANT: You are in no way restricted to work within the types of art defined by your team. So don't let that influence your team choice. These are just team names.

IMPORTANT: Please rank teams in your order of preference. I will do my best to get you your top team choice I can't promise but will do my best. It all depends on which team is lacking in participation.

Hello Members,

The moment you've all been waiting for. We all know who won, the team points aren't a mystery. I think what everyone waits for is to see what kinds of golden tickets people are going to get at the end. So let's get to it, shall we?

Hello Members,

Due to popular demand, I will be keeping three teams for the community. However, I just want to make it very clear that with the numbers, there won't be much of a competition anymore. Unfortunately, livejournal has become a site that people just don't want to visit as much. Which is a shame because the art that has spawned from this site has been incredible.

Good Day,

If your username is listed below, and cannot access Land of Art, it is because you have been removed due to inactivity. However, this does not mean that you cannot re-apply. If you ever become less busy and can participate on a regular basis, at least one challenge per sixteen days, then feel free to re-apply. Otherwise, this is just a post to indicate that you have been removed.

In the rare case, that I removed you in error, please let me know and I'll re-add you but either myself or the mods have gone through the challenges and this list should be pretty accurate.

Hello Members,

As an official announcement, Phase 13 will be beginning on Friday August 30th. This means that the phase will run from August 30th - November 30th.

I've put out a post to make suggestions for Hide & Seek Phase 13, but I will be putting out additional extra posts for the coming phase. So keep your eyes peeled if you want to contribute to those. Also, I'll be creating a new 'Request It' post for Phase 13 in the next couple of weeks so if you haven't collected your art on Phase 12's, please do so soon. :D I'll probably leave it in the sidebar for a while, just make a note please.

If you think that you won't be able to participate during those months, or if you will be on holidays during some of them, please commente HERE. If you need to opt out, you are more than welcome to return when you can participate. If you will be away, or are having some technical difficulties, let us mods know there as well that you need to be on hiatus so you are not cut or inactivity.

Check out the list of Graphics HERE and let me know if there is anything I can add to it whether it be specific dimensions for things, or graphics you think should be added. Thank you. :D

Any questions, let me know. :D

DETAILS
- This is the voting challenge for Poppin' Fun. I know, it's a little late but I just hate setting up votings so it takes me ages to get motivation to do it.
- Winning Banners will operate differently this time, I am looking for any volunteers to help when I tally the challenge. If you are interested, note in your submission. It'll be a first come first serve, and depending on the number of those who want to volunteer, will determine how many you could get. Keep in mind though, that there are ALWAYS ties so if I give you say 1st place Fandom, you might have to make multiple.

DETAILS
- So some people like to work with just color, others just black & white, in this challenge, you will be working with both. Art must be in both color and black & white. How you choose to make that work, is up to you but there must be a clear difference.

DETAILS
- Can't have a phase that goes past May 4th without a Star Wars challenge, can we? No.
- This is a two part challenge. In part one, I want you to submit a screencap from one of the star wars movies, a texture and a font. In part two, members will have to use a minumum of one of each category to make a piece of art.
- What you submit will not be what you use and what you submit will not have to be used together. So do not make your decisions based on what will look good together.
- There cannot be duplicates, so look before you post.

Good Day Everyone,

I know it's been forever since I posted anything on this community. I have been super busy. My work had me training someone since February 10, I think it was. It was incredibly draining so it didn't leave much time to think about when to start Phase 12, let alone try and plan anything. However, training is over now and I've figured out when this phase will begin. Mark it down on your calendars:

MONDAY APRIL 1.

Yes, I promise you this is not an April Fools Day Joke. That'd be pretty mean I think. Especially being that Phase 11 ended in January. Usually gaps between phases don't last this long, work just took over my life. I realize it's right around the corner but I honestly don't see why I can't start it so quickly. There will be new posts going up in the next day or so of new additions for getting golden tickets so please keep your eyes open.

If you asked to be moved to the new Team Pop Art, keep a close eye on your email, as you'll be getting a notification to join the team. If you're username is listed HERE, you will be moved.

The challenges will be random, no theme this phase minus the few remaining from the Alphabet phase last phase that will get posted at the beginning of this phase.

I hope to see all of you next phase. If there are any questions, concerns, etc, leave a comment below. :)

Hello Members / New Members Wanting to Apply

I have added Team Pop Art back into the community, it's been a couple of years since there was a third team. However, based on the number of members on both Team Steampunk/Renaissance, I believe we finally have enough to have a third team. I have updated the sidebar in the team to the best of my abilities as I'm waiting to hear back from the two members who were previous mods for the team. I like to leave customization of a side-bar up to the mod(s) so until there are mods, no members will be added to Team Pop Art, new or existing. Once there is a mod(s), I'll be adding people. There is no active phase, so for those of you looking at this post and thinking, you will be missing out on challenges, that is not the case.

IF you are looking at this post and you want to join, go HERE to do so.

For those of you that said you would switch if you could, just know that I will only be pulling about three members from both teams. The mods of Steampunk and Renaissance are in discussion with myself to figure out who that will be but I assure you that unless you said YES or NO PREFERENCE in the poll, you have nothing to worry about.

If you still haven't filled out the poll HERE, please do so as those who do not will be in danger of being cut for inactivity. I want to ensure we are starting off the next phase with members who are here to participate.

If you have any questions, feel free to comment below. This post has been opened to the public.

Hello Everyone,

Today marks the beginning of Phase 11. As previously stated, this phase will bring us back to what Land of Art once was with the many challenges it will include. The only difference is that this phase will be themed to the Alphabet. Each challenge, will order letter to letter, minus the pre-challenges.

I've just posted a new 'Request It'. It's in the sidebar. I've kept the Phase 10 one, so please ensure you click and comment on the right one. I'll keep it in the sidebar for about a month and then remove it so that anyone that needs to claim their art can do so, if you haven't already. Please Note: When selecting a 'type of art' to be created for you, I will not accept ANY. If I see it, I'll be screening your comment until it's changed. Unfortunately, 'Any' actually limits a creator because anything minus sigtags or icons, require dimensions so if you want something more than those two, you must indicate a dimension.

In regards to Inactivity, I'll be tracking when I tally challenges. In each sixteen day period, there will be 4-8 challenges posted in that period so if someone cannot create art for at least one of those, you will be removed for inactivity. Obviously, more participation is better but I don't think it's much of a stretch to ask for participation with the number of challenges posted in that time period.

There will be 2-5 challenges posted on a weekly basis. For those of you going for 100%, good luck. :)

Let's have a great phase, everyone. :)

Welcome back Members!

In just a few moments, I'll be posting the first couple challenges for this phase. This phase will run from April 10, 2018 to July 10, 2018. But first, just a few reminders and helpful posts just in case you've forgotten, or are new to the community.

First and foremost, this is an art community. All challenges will have art as the focus. So if you've joined this community expecting there to be writing challenges, you are in the wrong place. The most you'll ever have to write is maybe a Typography challenge, or writing down songs for a Fanmix, or words placed within art themselves.
