PROJECT ALPHA-BET
An Overly Ambitious Art Community Quest
NOTE : Main thread once this starts will be posted HERE
About the Project & Project Rules
Hey there, my name is Irva, and right now I am calling all my fellow artists to see who would be interested in participating in this giant collaboration! I don't have much time to draw these days and I know a lot of artists like me who want a reason to draw, but don't have the time really to keep up with their adoptable or commission shops. Even for those who do, perhaps they want to have a bit of fun with the community, need something to help with art block, or just want something to do.
If any of that sounds like you, then please read on!
First off : Why is it called Alpha-Bet?
Because it's an alphabetical breeding that starts with an alpha pair. And a irl friend of mine bet me that it couldn't be done and/or completed.
So, what is it?
On Halloween night, a special basket of sweets will be born. A nest born from these two Gen 1 Dragons :
Atarah
Amir
Rules
From here on out, the following rules will apply :
1. Each generation MUST have a name that begins with the next letter of the alphabet from their parents. Example : Atarah and Amir's children are all going to have names that begin with the letter B. Their children will have their names begin with the letter C. So on and So forth.
2. Each dragon MUST be paired with a dragon whose name begins with the same letter. So, for example, any hatchlings in the B generation should only breed with dragons whose names begin with the letter B. Otherwise, the mate is entirely up to the artist. Genes, colors, and breeds ultimately don't matter. Though trying to diversify the gene pool is highly encouraged~!
3. Every hatchling gets their own art, created by the artist who owns the lair they were hatched in. For example : I will be drawing the art for Atarah and Amir's hatchlings. However, whoever receives one of the offspring and breeds them will be drawing the art for those hatchlings.
4. This piece of art can be anything from dragon to gijinka. This can also be anything from headshots to busts to full body works. However, it MUST be colored! Adoptables are entirely acceptable, so long as they are still made by the artist who hatched these dragons!
5. All hatchlings must be sent out to different artists to be bred for the next generation. Please send an invitation to said artist to make sure they want to be part of the project before sending over the hatchling. This can be done via message or, alternatively, Instead of sending a message, you can also choose to select a name randomly from the Artist Masterlist (see below) and ping that person in this thread. Note : These artists can most certainly be recurring artists who have participated in the challenge before. However, it is highly encouraged to invite as many new people as possible. Once all hatchlings have been sent out, it is entirely up to the artist as to what you want to do with them
6. This is less a rule and more a request, but when you've finished each piece, if you could send a message @Irva with a link to your piece, it would be much appreciated. All works will be added to the Collection and, eventually, the Collage.
Extra Info and Conclusion
This thread will continue to update with new posts for each generation that gets finished and anyone who wants to discuss / volunteer to be new or returning artists for the project
The Quest finally ends when all Generation Z dragons have hatched and have had all their artwork submitted! At the end, I am going to attempt to make one massive collage/mural of everyone's work and post it.
Artist Masterlist
This is a pinglist of any and all artists interested in being an artist or recurring artist for the project. Instead of sending a message, you can also choose to select a name randomly from this pinglist and ping the person in this thread.
Be sure to let me know if you'd like to be a one time participant (if so, please ping me when you've received a hatchling) or if you're open to being a return artist.
