Heta-Artists Telephone Game

GROUP 2 IS HERE!

AAAA CHECK OUT THE BOY, HE LOOKS FANTASTIC! Oh my god I think of all of our groups, Group 2 changed the most. I love how the direction he was facing completely turned in the first half. The change in color palette is also really cool? Going from the lavendery color palette to the warmer red-purple. And of course, the addition of the ADORABLE Kumajirou.

GROUP 3 IS HERE!!!

Oh my gosh, I don't know how we went from Revenge Dress Belarus to questioning if she committed a crime... BUT I AM SO HERE FOR IT. It was so fun watching the starter evolve with each turn, I really didn't know what to expect with this one!

Group 3, you all did a wonderful job

GROUP 1 HAS REACHED THE FINISH LINE!!!!

With our theme of "glamour" for round 1, @umahumahumah started us off with a drawing of Prussia! It has been so fun to watch the illustration evolve as it change hands -> We've seen each side of Prussia's face and his drink changed hands twice!

Everyone did a fantastic job. Thank you all for your patience, as I know organizing something like this isn't easy when everyone's got their own things going on and an uncertain schedule doesn't make things easy.

Attempt #2...

HI! I just have some updates on the lineup for some of you tumblr-only participants!! Here is the new lineup:

Crossed out names are people who've already gone, bolded names are the current artists. Dates listed are the anticipated date of when each person will start.

Group 1

• umahumahumah • starsilversword-art • justlikeawartimenovelty • romechu • hoasens (March 31) • savannahthefangirl (April 5) • krazys-ass-emporium (April 10) • vikingosten (April 15) • roniebuttercups (April 20)

Group 2

And while I have your attention, I want to apologize for this event being so poorly managed. I don't think "I'm tired" is a good enough excuse for the lack of updates and the needing to do a reboot. I have a tendency to be overly ambitious and take on more than I can handle, which ultimately leads me to crumble. This isn't my first time organizing a large group of artists, but it's the first time I've had to be on top of people and constantly check up. I'm so sorry Round 1 has been so rocky and a bit of a mess. I somehow didn't anticipate how the big change of how many people I needed to oversee between Round 0 and Round 1 would be so overwhelming.

I think if I'm going to continue this event, I need more hands on deck. At the very least, we WILL be finishing Round 1!!! The art I've seen from the people who've had their turns thus far is absolutely stunning and I'm excited to see how each group finishes up.

I am so sorry for the radio silence! I've been super drained in the last month and haven't been able to reach out, but the most important thing was getting Round 0 done! And I'm happy to say that we've completed Round 0! However, it wasn't without its hiccups.

Some things I've learned is that the drawing may need to be simpler and we may need a stricter time limit.

Since we've had 34 people show interest, it may also be best to split us up into two groups! I will be reaching out to everyone (finally) and we can go from there.

I'll be posting the rule set we followed in Round 0, then the collage of everyone's works (once I get the final OK to do so from the artists), and comprise Round 1's rules as everyone who needs to be reached out to pools into the discord.

Very excited for y'all to see Round 0! So happy to see what everyone's done! All of the artists did spectacular!

The people in Round 0 have confirmed they're participating and I've begun to draw the starter!

I will be posting the rules/guidelines tomorrow as well as the participants for Round 0. Those not in Round 0 will still be able to join the discord to witness the process/to ask any questions they may have!

Submissions for participants in Round 1 will be open until January 20th!

There's... no real reason why other than the event needs to start out small and then grow. I still have zero idea how long one turn will officially last for!

See you soon!

Hey all!

Thank you to everyone who's expressed interest in the game! As of right now I have 24 total submissions which is honestly more than I ever expected!

I still anticipate going ahead with the experimental round with the first 6 people who responded to the form, but fear not! Everyone will still be able to participate! The 6 person round is so we can figure out how this is really going to work -- as in how long we need and all of the final details. It will be a hot minute before we can start the Official Round 1 (maybe a month, give or take), but I see this in the same way that you sign up for secret santa, zines, or find out about other events months in advance.

With that being said, it looks like there's also a demand for a discord server! I can keep in contact with the those of you who selected no towards a discord/different methods of contact separately, I don't mind!

I'll try to set up the discord server tomorrow, approach those of you who have offered to help moderate, and we'll go from there! I'll have to reach out to everyone who's given me their discords separately, so it looks like I have a lot of friend requests to be sending out. Hoping discord doesn't think that I'm a spam bot... again.

Even though Round 0 is limited to those 6 first submissions, I still want the whole process to be open to everyone so we all really know what's going on!

Hope to update tomorrow!
