    Hello ladies and gentlemen of the most highly esteemed Art Group. Today, Curse Never Dying and I bring you the very first Art Gallery Challenge! This event will last until the end of the week February. Anyone who has joined the Art Group may participate in this glorious event and I highly encourage it. The Gallery will display a variety of artwork ranging from original art to photo edited artwork/screenshots to music or poetry if you so choose! Members may also group together to create their masterpiece. The one rule to this is to credit the sources you pull from if the work is not entirely original.

    Participants must post their artwork in the comment section below. I will then add your art, a title, and your name(s) to the discussion. When I have added your art, delete your comment. This will keep the comment section clean and strictly for commentary! 

    Without further ado, the theme for the first ever Art Gallery Challenge is... *drum roll* ... Summoners!

    "Summoners are defined as mages that call upon otherworldly creatures and objects to aid them in battle."

    This is widely open for interpretation and I expect to see some very interesting takes on the different aspects of Summoners. The theme was inspired by my desperate attempt to find artwork on the subject. I found just enough to create my contribution to the first Art Gallery Challenge. Get to creating people, I wanna see what a Summoner is all about!

    Is anyone interested in this idea? We were hoping to make it a recurring event but participation is required! Haha :p

    I'm interested Alastor! The problem is that all our PS guys have lost interest or left (nobodybeast, narmis..).

    I used to really like the art comps in this group so the best bet is to lead by example and start producing images and hope that people start taking part (even if you're talking to yourself a bit at first).

    Haha that sounds like a good idea to me. I actually wanted to compose a little guitar piece but can't find the time ;p I'm hoping to include all sorts of art forms because not everyone can draw or have photoshop.

    Regardless, more to come :)

    Can it be a summon, like an Atronach or something? Or does it have to include a summoner? EDIT: How about necromancy and zombies/soul guards?

    I'm a bit confused about the idea. Do we need to create our own artwork? Find some on the web? Something else?

    Yeah I think conjuring the dead would be acceptable. Although, I've always felt that Necromancy was more Restoration than Conjuration. It comes down to opinion so it's up to you. Edit: I won't make it a requirement but a summon without a summoner is just a creature imo. But if it's an Atronach or something familiar (no pun intended) then it's cool.

    I wanted people to put some effort into the artwork so some level of creation IS required. Don't just post a photo you find that is suitable. Either create an original or creatively Photoshop someone else's work and credit them.

    Alternatively you could write a blog about a summoner, take some screenshots of what you think a Summoner would look like, or write a poem if you wanted. There are so many different art forms and so many creative people on TSB. I wanted to see some of that talent come to life in these galleries :)
