                <description><![CDATA[ Hi all,<br />
<br />
So far only <a href="http://jcanuc.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/j/c/jcanuc.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconjcanuc:" title="jcanuc"/></a> got his/her entries in before the deadline, and will therefore win the grand prize by default.  If you are still interested in the 2nd place or 3rd place prize, or just want to participate and practice, please be noted that the deadline will be extended for 10 days and will now be Dec. 11th.<br />
<br />
This is a club mainly focused on self-motivation and self-improvement, and it's up to you how often you choose to participate.  But I'd like to know how many of you are still interested in the club to keep our member list up to date.  Also, if you are interested in helping manage the club or have any suggestions for improvement, please do discuss either by note or by replying to this journal.<br />
<br />
Thanks for your time!<br />
<br />
=====================================================<br />
<br />
This club will be updated on a monthly basis from now on.  Each vol. will contain 4 subjects, and you are encouraged to do 2 if not all 4 of them.<br />
<br />
Subjects for Vol. 10:<br />
<br />
010A: Design your alien<br />
What does it look like?  What does it eat?  Where does it live?  What's its story?  You can go as simple and as complex as you want.<br />
<br />
010B: War emblem<br />
If you were a warrior who's rich enough for your own custom gears, what would you put on it?  From bloody hand prints to cute chibi animals, anything goes, just like the rest of the themes in this club.<br />
<br />
010C: Plant love<br />
It's green but not always, flowery but not always, twisty but not always, tasty but not always... what's not to love?<br />
<br />
010D: Ride of choice<br />
Draw your transportation in RL, or transportation in dreams.  It could be anything... and the best part would be you sitting on it.<br />
<br />
Deadline: Oct. 31st<br />
<br />
=---------------------------CONTEST---------------------------=<br />
<br />
To celebrate the 10th umm... vol anniversary to this club, there will be a vote-off after the deadline of Vol .010, over the Vol. 010 entries.<br />
<br />
1st place: a full-colored, one-subject commission.<br />
2nd place: a one-subject sketch.<br />
3rd + 4th place: nomination of a vol. 012 theme, if you want to <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br />
<br />
***While you can be super awesome, you cannot win 1st or 2nd place at the same time!  Sorry!***<br />
<br />
All prizes will be provided by <a href="http://nightblue-art.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/n/i/nightblue-art.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconnightblue-art:" title="nightblue-art"/></a>.  If you would like to provide a prize for a future contest, please send a note!  For obvious reasons, the prize provider will not participate in the contest.<br />

Mission of the club:<br />
<br />
1. Get artists (especially lazy ones) to work.<br />
2. Get inspired.<br />
3. Get more skillful.<br />
4. Get... gee, never mind... just have fun.<br />
<br />
===========================<br />
<br />
How the club works:<br />
<br />
On the 1st and 15th of every month, two subjects will be posted here.  You may choose one to work from, but you are encouraged to do both.<br />
<br />
As long as your work somewhat adhere to the subjects, pretty much anything that doesn't violate dA policy goes.  You can work in any media you want, your work can be as sketchy or as finished as you'd like, and you can interpret the subjects rather loosely.  In fact, the best works are the ones where you go a little extra mile and push yourself out of your comfort zone.<br />
<br />
Post your work(s) before the deadline of the current volume on dA and send the club a note with title "Vol.X Entry" (X is the number of the volumn you are working for).  Your work will then be posted in the club gallery for all to see, and you will be credited and linked to on the deviation.<br />

<br />
009A: Something on your desk<br />
Draw something that's on your desk, or whatever surface you are using your computer.  If you are using a laptop on your laps right now... well, draw something that's directly in front of you.<br />
<br />
009B: Pattern<br />
Design a cool pattern.  It can be abstract but doesn't have to be.  Can be made into a repeat (like wall paper) but doesn't have to be.  Can be made in color but doesn't have to be... Any theme goes.  It just has to look decorative.<br />

007A: 4 people in one picture<br />
It's a compositional exercise: put 4 people in one picture and make it look natural.  Most people draw one or two subjects, and this would be a nice change for them.  They can be doing whatever.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Subjects for Vol. 6:<br />
<br />
006A: City<br />
It can be a city of any kind, sci-fi, fantasy, realism, whatever.  Or even city of some strange concept, I don't know... but basically let's try drawing some structures!  We all know it's hard!<br />
<br />
006B: Pet<br />
Something you have or would like to have as a pet.  It doesn't have to be real... or alive!  Although an inanimate pet would probably be pretty boring.<br />
<br />
Deadline: Aug 1st.<br />

<br />
<br />
===========================<br />
<br />
Mission of the club:<br />
<br />
1. Get artists (especially lazy ones) to work.<br />
2. Get inspired.<br />
3. Get more skillful.<br />
4. Get... gee, never mind... just have fun.<br />
<br />
===========================<br />
<br />
How the club works:<br />
<br />
On the 1st and 15th of every month, two subjects will be posted here.  You may choose one to work from, but you are encouraged to do both.<br />
<br />
As long as your work somewhat adhere to the subjects, pretty much anything that doesn't violate dA policy goes.  You can work in any media you want, your work can be as sketchy or as finished as you'd like, and you can interpret the subjects rather loosely.  In fact, the best works are the ones where you go a little extra mile and push yourself out of your comfort zone.<br />
<br />
Post your work(s) before the deadline of the current volume on dA and send the club a note with title "Vol.X Entry" (X is the number of the volumn you are working for).  Your work will then be posted in the club gallery for all to see, and you will be credited and linked to on the deviation.<br />
<br />
If you finish the work after the deadline, well... at least you'll have another piece for your own dA gallery, and that's always a good thing <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
===========================<br />
<br />
Rewards and Punishments:<br />
<br />
There is no reward other than achieving the mission statement of the club.  This is a practice club and will hopefully provide a rewarding experience.<br />
<br />
There is no punishment for skipping volumns, but you will be removed from the club if you do not submit anything for 3 months (6 volumns.)  You are, however, encouraged to try and participate in every volumn.<br />
<br />
===========================<br />
<br />
Rules for critique:<br />
<br />
Please fav or comment on the original deviation only.  When members give each other comments, it is important to be constructive yet encouraging.  Do remember that this is a practice club, and people are doing this to get better.  This by no means prohibit you from giving your honest opinion, but if you do so in a tactful way everybody will benefit from it.<br />
<br />
===========================<br />
<br />
How to join:<br />
<br />
Please send a note to the club titled "join," and briefly introduce yourself.  At the same time, please watch the club and add it on your journal.  You will be added to the club member list within a week, as well as get on the watchlist of the club.<br />

Should we enable comments on deviations in the club?<br />
<br />
Pros:<br />
lazy people are more likely to comment.<br />
we'll have a better sense of community.<br />
<br />
Cons:<br />
You'll have some comments of the same deviation in two places.<br />
Fewer people may click on your original deviation.<br />
<br />
**** Please reply to this journal to vote on it!  Thanks! *****<br />

<br />
Subjects for Vol. 5:<br />
<br />
005A: Lake Spirit<br />
Do you believe in spirits? If you don't, let's pretend you do! There are many different kinds of lakes, all with different personality. What would the spirits that reside in the lakes look like if they were to show themselves to the human eyes?<br />
<br />
005B: Hands<br />
Many consider hands to be the hardest part to draw on a human body. They are almost as expressive as the eyes, yet without the glossy, moist glamour. What can you say with your drawing of hands? Oh, and they don't have to be human hands...<br />

On the 1st and 15th of every month, two subjects will be posted here.  You may choose one to work from, but you are encouraged to do both.<br />
<br />
As long as your work somewhat adhere to the subjects, pretty much anything that doesn't violate dA policy goes.  You can work in any media you want, your work can be as sketchy or as finished as you'd like, and you can interpret the subjects rather loosely.  In fact, the best works are the ones where you go a little extra mile and push yourself out of your comfort zone.<br />
<br />
Post your work(s) before the deadline of the current volume on dA and send the club a note with title "Vol.X Entry" (X is the number of the volumn you are working for).  Your work will then be posted in the club gallery for all to see, and you will be credited and linked to on the deviation.<br />
<br />
If you finish the work after the deadline, well... at least you'll have another piece for your own dA gallery, and that's always a good thing <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
===========================<br />
<br />
Rewards and Punishments:<br />
<br />
There is no reward other than achieving the mission statement of the club.  This is a practice club and will hopefully provide a rewarding experience.<br />
<br />
There is no punishment for skipping volumns, but you will be removed from the club if you do not submit anything for 3 months (6 volumns.)  You are, however, encouraged to try and participate in every volumn.<br />
<br />
===========================<br />
<br />
Rules for critique:<br />
<br />
Please fav or comment on the original deviation only.  When members give each other comments, it is important to be constructive yet encouraging.  Do remember that this is a practice club, and people are doing this to get better.  This by no means prohibit you from giving your honest opinion, but if you do so in a tactful way everybody will benefit from it.<br />
<br />
===========================<br />
<br />
How to join:<br />
<br />
Please send a note to the club titled "join," and briefly introduce yourself.  At the same time, please watch the club and add it on your journal.  You will be added to the club member list within a week, as well as get on the watchlist of the club.<br />
