Yeah, unsolicited advice is like walking through a minefield when it comes to someone you don't know. I hope folks actually do take advantage of your offer. Personally speaking, your advice has proven quite valuable on numerous occasions. I might add that some newer folk might not be aware that it's not just yr 3D skills but your photo manips and drawings are high skill stuff too so those folks interested in those should also take advantage.

Well, geez... when ya put it like that, it sounds like a real stumper!
I don't think I have the wisdom to design such an "across the board" challenge myself. Fortunately, I know of someone who does: Matthew M. Laskowski AKA fox-orian
Matt has created the coolest meme ever with this one. It's called an Influence Map.
The idea is a very simple one: you take a 1462 H x 1000 W and divide it into a grid. You then fill those grids with 3x3, 2x2, 2x1 and 1x1 tiles containing images of whatever has inspires you as an artist. Whatever you want... photos, paintings, comics, your art, someone else's art, 3D, vector, whatever... hell, if you wanna go off the grid, go nuts! I think this is something everyone can participate in and would have a blast regardless of skill level or particular interest. I have posted a .png copy of fox-orian's template in the HFC cookie jar or you could download a .psd copy on this page. I propose making an Influence Map as the August Challenge. Feedback? I 'm talking to everyone here... you too, lurkers!!
Do I have to do everything??!!

i suppose. what i will do is to offer my services to any who truly wants a fair assessment and judgment of their artistic skills and is looking for areas of improvement. i used to give open critiques before but not everyone wanted that. i do see lots of guys who create their own original characters and or books.. i know i'm no professional, but i would be willing to offer any who seriously seeks help or advice.

its really hard to come up with a suitable challenge that is fair to every member since we have so many that work in different medias. and i'll have to admit that i dont personally know most of our newer members enough to know thier likes or dislikes.
