I know most might not know me here anymore, and those that do might not be happy to see me back. I used to head the fan art challenges, from the start to about challenge #28 or so. I got a little full of myself, and tried to take on more responsibility than my motivation could maintain. After awhile, winners didn't get their custom achievement patches, voting polls didn't get posted and closed on time, and I stopped altogether.
After the first year, we did full-year schedules of overlapping 2-month challenges, so everyone could plan ahead, and there were always 2 different challenges to choose from. We had lots of talented participants throwing crazy concepts, and it was a blast, for awhile. But it was too much for me to keep up, and midway through year three it started to show.
This time, I would like to post a new challenge March 1st, and after that...
I hope many will take interest, and a few artists and sculptors may participate, and just maybe we can re-ignite the fan art challenge fire again...
Thanks to all.
