so if it looks weird its because I copy pasted for the most part.
<B>APRIL ART CHALLENGE</B>
<i>Every month I am going to add an art challenge into the beginning of my journal.
As this goes on and more and more people start having fun with it I will make them more interesting and complicated.
Just think of it as an extra thing to challenge yourself each month. </i>
April's art challenge is.................
<b> SPEED PAINTING BACKGROUNDS </b>
So yes this months challenge I have even come up with a meme style form for you to paint in. Speed painting essentially shouldnt take you very long at all to paint. Hence the word speed in the title. It doesnt mean you pop speed before hand.....although that might actually work too.
Here is an example of a finished product for this month, note I didnt do the art, its just for example ->>> http://aaron-mayhem.deviantart.com/.....craps#/d4up0f9
When painting these out I have given you an element to use. you do not have to keep this very literal. If you think a chef making flames in the kitchen represents fire, speed paint it out. This is designed to help you advance in your art skills. Maybe even take you out of your safe zone.
Here is the blank ones ---> http://aaron-mayhem.deviantart.com/.....epng-293551529
Ok so this month I will be including a few links to tutorials and videos so that you can see the process at work.
Video ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CEo.....eature=related Kind of advanced but it shows you what is possible. It also shows you that pre thinking your picture can be nice too.
Tutorial 1 ---> http://www.amitsadik.com/digital-pa.....nting-process/
Tutorial 2 ---> http://www.amitsadik.com/digital-pa.....ting-tutorial/
Tutorial 3 ---> http://www.amitsadik.com/digital-pa.....tutorial-amit/
Video ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlkO.....eature=related This one might blow your mind. Its like "what the fuck is this guy doing" Then "oh shit!!! cool"
Video 1-3 Character speed paints for interest ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tst2f4u-PO8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEYlfZeyYc4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aP_y.....eature=related

<i>Doesnt matter the style or anything as long as you are challenging yourself.
When you post it send me a link or post the link in this journal, I will include it in next months journal.
Please dont link me to something you already done. This is a challenge for you to test yourself each month, not to show of something you already did. If you want you can even link me to your FA page, I will just create a picture link of it for the journal to link you still to it.
And if you want to advertise this please do so, the more the merrier</i>

New Image of me http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i.....330_221025.png
Well a lot has been going on this month. This last month I have started going on a diet. I was kinda stuck at a certain weight even with working out so I am kinda going a little extreme but we will see how it goes over the next few months.
My final goal is to be happy enough with my body to do a body paint of me as Mayhem, going to have to figure out something for the chains and glue a horn to my head lol.
It will be sick though
Rice cooker http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i.....ricecooker.png
So I did end up buying this awesome ass rice cooker, it cooks huge amounts of rice at once if I want to. It was the expensive one that was on sale.
Yea rice is one of the things I eat. Rice is so yummy.
http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i.....a/myguitar.png
And here is a picture of my new guitar. I havent named her yet. We are still getting to know each other. Its about time I learned. Which adding in learning guitar is like saying I want to learn five languages, but I figure it will also be a little more relaxing for me over the next few stressful school months.
Art wise I am motivated and trying to do more in my spare time. I have learned that sai and corel have so much better things than photoshop so you might see a transition over the next few months in my color style. Which I think has already started to look better than before. Hopefully I find artists on here that will start giving me feedback on things like that.

4/10 This one I was really saddened to see the end result. I had actually paid for this one and I think I should most likely have wanted my money back on it. Normally as mos of you know and you can read on my character ref, I prefer to let the artist do whatever they want. This artist wouldnt have any of that. Ask me SPECIFICALLY what I wanted. So I had to think up two things and came up with two different poses for a Mayhem pony (since she does ponies). The end result wasnt even what I asked for. I was actually surprised she gave him his horn because she didnt even want to do that. Yea I know, I guess she didnt even look at my reference page that I sent her three times. I know some of you might find this a little harsh, but its much different when your paying. It would had been a different story if this had been the end result and she didnt ask me specify what she should draw. She is a very beautiful girl that does amazing work. Anyone that wants to take your chances with her might end up with something beautiful. Just be wary, you might end up with something you didnt even ask for.

8/10 It was a kiriban and this is what I suggest to anyone who holds a kiriban. If you offer a drawing, even for gifts and such I think you should always put as much into as you would anything else. Unless your saying that you are doing less. If I say I am doing my half body I would do a half body. I think this would be more of a quick sketch. Just not up to this artists ussual skill level.

Notes to the Notes.
No they will not all be 10/10. How do you get a ten of ten? You give that person the personal touch that is needed. You talk to them and make sure you understand what they are wanting from you. You READ their notes back to you, you look over their ref and make sure you know the character and you also ask questions if anything is unclear. Of course all this has to be done in a timely manner or with a few sorries and explanations thrown in if it wasnt done fast. Cause we all know life sometimes throws curveballs which would make things not go as fast.
so if it looks weird its because I copy pasted for the most part.
