The due date for this challenge will be on the 14th of October, or four weeks from now.


Theme: Age


The theme for the first challenge will be age. Create a piece of artwork that in someway incorporates the element of age within it. It could be a statue overgrown with wildlife, a home weathered from years of abandonment, or say a portrait of an elderly person. You can use a reference from online, or go out and take your own! Your finished peice should convey to the viewer a sense of time long past. Feel free to get abstract or surreal if you wish, so long as you stick with the theme.

Guidelines for your submission:

You should submit the image at a reasonable size, large enough to see but not so large it breaks the page. Under your image, tell us the name of the piece if you've chosen to name it, tell us what medium it is and maybe tell us about what the piece means to you or why you created it the way you did.

*** Please do not submit your work before the 14th, just to keep the suspense of seeing everyone's work up!


Below are some complimentary photographs just to get your creative juices flowing.

You still got one week =P. By the way, for anyone who happens to read this, if you would be interested in hosting the next community challenge, or if you have an idea of what you want the next challenges' theme to be, send me a PM.

Hosting it really isn't a big deal, you will pretty much make a post describing the challenges theme, guidlines and provide some reference photos.

I'd be happy to give it a swing if you'd like.

You sure can.

Here's what I did.



A simple portrait, unfinished embarrassingly enough. Regardless, I encourage people to submit their work regardless of what stage it's in as participation and practice is more important. If it's unfinished feel free to post updates on it here if you wish to continue working on it as well. Depending on the turnout the next few days, Lo Pell has expressed interest in hosting the next challenge.

This is my submission! It's a shadow box of sorts; I started off with an old Christmas present box in which I tarnashed both the inside and outside; with various paints and papers. The spiderwebs are remnants of the hot glue I used to put down the small miniature chair I had made at a previous date in time. The skull is a bead that broke off from one of my bracelets. Dirt on the floor is pencil shavings! The picture in the back is one of those pictures that they have in pictures frames as a stock photo when they sell them (I thought it was kind of spooky). All in all, it was about the aging of a house and the person who once lived there.

Plus a little bit of Halloween spirit (:

Couldn't choose between ideas so I did two pen-ink drawings - a broken statue and an old horse. I think they could have turned out better, but at least this motivated me to draw. =) It was fun.

Sorry, I was gone this weekend for military duty, but yeah put it together whenever you have time, preferably within a week. For future reference after a round we should probably wait a couple days for submissions before commencing. I would also like the person to host the challenge be someone who participated in the previous challenge, but seeing as how this is all a new thing I'm obviously okay with you putting up the next one.

I feel bad I wasn't able to contribute to this round but I love everyone's submissions. Brand your style reminds me of my own, and MissCanpCrunch I never would have thought to create a 3D work and photograph it. Valeria's horse is my favorite though.

I'll be in on the next one for sure.

I think Lo Pellegrino was making the next one. If he doesn't get it up by Sunday I will make the next one; Valeria or Misscapncrunch, if either of you guys would rather create the next one you'd supersede me, since you guys actually finished yours haha.

Otherwise Sunday, if none of the others want to.
