Stuff to procrastinate + WHO WANTS XMAS CARD?

I was going to make a big rant post about how fandom needs to have MORE multimedia awesomeness and that art should happen more and why and so on, but that's not happening today. :/
I will simply lament the fact that the AWESOME ressource post is pretty much useless for fanartists. (except a couple of caps posts)
[livejournal.com profile] yue_ix, I know you have an extensive collection of bookmarks that are visual-oriented. We should perhaps compile a similar ressource list for fanartists?

In case you don't know it yet, I like making lists.
Yue's list of stuff she should be working on
+ STBB pics
+ GO exchange pic
+ NOT MISSING THE SMALL GIFTS CLAIM DATE
+ Greenhouse stuff
+ Fest stuff
+ PROMOTING FANART SOMETHING
+ ST Dinos
+ Merlin pics for various fics (knights!)
+ A million tiny projects for Xmas gifts. :/

OTL

OK, so I might as well start this now so that i will have more time to work on the stuff.

THOSE OF YOU WHO WISH TO RECEIVE A HOLIDAY CARD FROM ME, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IN THIS POST!!!
PLZ PM ME YOUR ADDRESS.

EDIT: NOTE FOR PPL IN THE USA: PLEASE DO PUT USA AT THE END OF YOUR ADDRESS!? I KNOW ITS DUMB BUT IT HELPS ME KEEP TRACK AT A GLANCE! I live in Canada, and while i know our provinces and territories, I'm really not that proficient at international geography. >_< Humour me, i'm dumb!

Most Y!gal links, as soon as they show Mature materials, require one to be logged in so as to see them; could it be that?

Argh. i see i see. HOW DO WE OVERCOME THAT PROBLEM THEN? :/
Is there a way the pics themselves can be gathered into a post or something and linked back to their original address with proper credit? :/

BY THE POWER OF STALKING!

So, Draw-Male-in-Real-comic-style on DA & How to draw a man's hips. I couldn't find the penis one anywhere else, sadly, but perhaps some other artistic nude penis tutorial could be found around.

A last very important one: Artist Hospital @ DA has a LOT of really amazing tutorials for literally everything.

You are a genius.
y'know that great expression sheet of Bradley that you have? We should make one for each of the main cast.

I FEEL BAD BEING ALL TALK AND NO ACTION RIGHT NOW BUT GAAAH HOMEWORK :(

i love you~

There is some things we need that would be great if someone could do them (perhaps neither you nor me, but if we post this to Drawmelot, I'd love for others to pitch in):

- Expression sheet for main cast;
- that graph of their relative heights;
- cloth sheets for everyone, including color samples for easy picking;
- patterns, objects & accessories from the show (mostly a picspam of things one can draw inspiration from, or use as details. Categories exemples: cups, flags, vases, bedrooms accessories, jewels, weapons, engravings, windows)
- separate sheet for Arthur's armour (I could do that)
- Quick reference sheets of the others: humans (categories: guards, peasants!camelot, peasants!other kingdoms, druids, rogue gangs (Cendred's, that guy from S2..));
- Quick reference sheets of the others: non-humans (categories: conjured beings, magical creatures)


IT'S NOT YOU, IT'S ME: THIS HAS BEEN AN HALF-ARSED PROJECT OF MINE ALREADY, SO I HAD A FEW STEPS READY. BUT I CAN'T DO IT ALONE, SO WAS WAITING FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO STEP UP. Left alone, I would have driven myself to exhaustion. But, if you think that to-do list up makes sense, perhaps we could assign some volunteers to some items? They really don't take that long if we browse, say, disparue.org's screencaps.

*hugs*

It's a great idea to get more help! We definitely need it and it'll make it much faster!

You've pretty much covered everything else i could think of...
We mustn't forget buildings! 8D Architectural details structure! I guess that can be a section of "patterns/objects and accessories".

TOGETHER WE SHALL PREVAIL!!! I'm soo pumped, i want to get in it but i need to wait till weekend...
I'm down for the volunteer assignments!!! Will you just post a requesting help post to drawmelot?
(I'd love to work on the accessories post! I already do it unconsciously XD )

Buildins are important! In the initial camelot_fleet post, there was a Locations category - we could put them in there with subcategories such as Castle, Exterior, Villages, etc.?

I can't (or, well, shouldn't) until the week-end either because of mid-terms and other stuff, but I could try to put up a post around Friday or Saturday? (omg, Halloween!) That way, we can try fishing for volunteers at the Party, too. I'd personally love to do the mystical creatures. ^___^ *writes ourselves down first because we got dibs*

AHAHA, I just realized, that would make my 2nd or third post in a row that are only Mod-posts, and none of my drawings. Darn, I have to find some time to post those as well!

that would be great!! 8D

hahaha yesss~!!! fishing at the party sounds good to me. :)

you definitely need to post your epic art. AND your epic fic. That super duper awesome multimedia neverending story thing you did? WHY DON'T MORE PEOPLE KNOW OF ITS AWESOME?
