August’s THEME:
Zodiac-sona!
That’s right, many of you have asked so here it is. For this challenge you will create Zodiac cards! They MUST include the symbol somewhere on the front of the card. The “sona” is because I want you to personify the sign. But what does that mean really? I’ve seen the “sona” tag float around on instagram and usually its added onto the end of a word and you create a character based on it. For this though you are find for it to be a Person or creature but you absolutely MUST have something on there other then just the symbol or constellation. It cannot be only a starry night sky constellation or just the symbol alone. That would be considered lack of effort and I will not accept it for swapping. Try to get creative. I highly recommend using this as an opportunity to push yourselves to compose something wonderful that you would love to receive in return. Ultimately, when we reach for more as artists we are able to achieve more and further heighten our skillset. (Don’t forget best efforts as now we have an annual art book!)
Please try to send a variety of signs, be sure you write the sign name on the back of the card as well. Include in your envelope a piece of paper that says “INSTAGRAMID is a “Your Sign”. I would like to know but please keep in mind I cannot and will not guarantee that you will receive your same sign back. Think of this as a chance to start a zodiac card collection.
PINTEREST BOARD FOR INSPIRATION
Remember while I will swap Fan art in the group it will NEVER be included in the annual ATCitupwithfriends Art Book due to legal copyright reasons. Plus this group is meant to encourage the creation of your own original art. Thank you for understanding. Plus fan art is difficult for me to swap around, so please try to avoid it and create your own characters.
If ever in doubt just shoot me an email to ask a question. Send signups and any questions to [email protected]
