Challenge: Artist Mentoring

[dperceful]

I just ducked out of the 1 hour photo manip thread and it had me thinking. How did I get started in this crazy stuff...and why do I keep doing it? After a stiff drink and a bottle of pills I couldn't come up with an answer, yet I was very sleepy. Joking aside, I just love comics and before the movie boom this was the only way I could see my heroes and villains brought to somewhat real life. I just got done doing a team-up manip with brick over at Heromorph and it was a wonderful process of idea sharing and the like. I've also had the pleasure of being here long enough for other artists to bounce ideas off of me and vice versa, because none of my manips would look anywhere as good as they do now without the ideas and critiques others gave me. This is why you find me, B, Junkyard, Shaylinn, etc on the UIR's a lot...critiquing is the sincerest form of flattery (someone just took time out of their day to comment on your work...good or bad...they took the time).

With all of that said I propose an odd sort of challenge. It's not meant to come across as a holier than thou attitude thing, merely a way to help new artists wanting to get to a higher level in their manipping skills.

Challenge

Artist A submits a request to be mentored
Artist B submits an offer to mentor an artist

we get a few volunteers on both sides, team up, and have at it. Artist A is going to be doing all of the work, Artist B is there to bounce ideas off of, offer comments, offer design tips, show off a trademark technique, etc. It's Artist A's manip...their choice of what to do, their model, etc...Artist B is just there to help out and push your work to new heights.

There is no deadline for this challenge...Artist A decides when the project is finished.

any thoughts, good idea, bad idea...am i jerk for even suggesting this, etc.

I'd LOVE to do this, I've been wanting to really but my art on another level, so I'd love to do this as an 'artist a'

Thanks in advance. Great idea, Dan!

[dperceful]

i'll kick off the volunteering. i volunteer as a mentor, for lack of a better term. mentor sounds like i know what i'm doing, that's hardly the case, but i think i have some good ideas and opinions i can share.

dan

[Zac]

I'll be a mentor. If anyone has AIM, Yahoo, or MSN messengers, I have those. They're better than e-mail for this kind of stuff.

[MilleniumBum]

hey this sounds cool! i'm in! i could be a mentor if anyone will have me. http://www.comics2film.com/UBB/biggrin.gif

[Bill Turner]

I need mentoring and I will mentor. Zac and Dan should be everyone's mentor.

[Juvenilemike]

Lol, I'll go down as mentor. Even though my old man (Zac) would say my attitude stinks :P

I'd also love to be mentored, but I already get lots of help from Zac, Adam and Bill.

I can be a mentor... if anyone deems me worthy enough.

Dan, you said Artist B submits an offer to mentor an artist. I hope you consulted him - I haven't heard anything from B in this thread yet. http://www.comics2film.com/UBB/smile.gif

duely noted. we obviously have one mentee, trekkie, so at the least he/she (sorry i just cover the bases) will get something positive out of the deal. i have an idea for the senior group of artist if we can't find an even number to pair up. i'll give it until the end of the week, if it's oddly mathced i'll post the new idea in this thread and see what you guys think. do you guys have any suggestions on the current challenge?

dan

[Biohaz_Daddy]

I really like the idea behind this. I feel I fall into the area between the two groups, otherwise I would participate. I applaud this worthy effort.

you are in that in-between area...so with that said, i'm putting you in the mentee group. basically due to the fact your a newer artist (3 posted pics) with some solid base skills, and i also think that with someone pushing your work....it will be elevated to that next level that will take you out of that in-between area. thanks for participating and volunteering.

dan

[Shaylinn]

I'm not sure what area I would fall into either since I never feel like my work can stand up to the current list of Mentors but I'd be more than happy to be a Mentee OR Mentor OR just a friendly wall to bounce ideas off of.

well you've been here for over a year...and i think your one of the great new artists to the site. i put you into that elusive in between....much like Biohaz i think with pushing you will be into that next level in your work where you will start doing things in your work that will really amaze you and others.

How about some of you oldtimers put together a series of before and after posts. Like an add campaign for anyone interested in improving their artwork. You could have an early manip you have done side by side with a recent one to dramatize the differences. I think that would show people what is going on behind the DCG. Maybe a title like "look what the forum has done for me" or something along those lines.

howzabout making a pic/poster to promote this event and posting it in the gallery? that way, some of the artists who don't usually go to the boards would be inspired to have a look-see. i know of a few who don't really go to the boards because they don't know about the cool stuff going on like the UIRs. i think some sort of promotion would be beneficial to this project, IMHO. http://www.comics2film.com/UBB/smile.gif

i suggest swapping emails to contact each other, much faster than the postal service. if your an IM type of person that works too.


the process of picking was random. i just drew numbers.

for all of my leftover mentors, i have a pic i submitted to the gallery to kinda advertise this mentoring thing. we will see if it helps. if not the three artists here get some more mentors to bounce ideas off of, or we kinda pair off with each other...but alot of us do that already. or do you have any ideas...i really would rather help out the new artists...but i'm open to ideas.

This sounds very interesting indeed. I am definitely an A type artist. I think my only drawback is the fact that I use The GIMP, but this might possibly answer some of my questions about the similarities/differences between this, & other programs. Let the learning begin!
BTW: I use yahoo for messaging. Also, the promo poster rocks!http://www.comics2film.com/UBB/supercool.gif

hehehe...just kidding. It's ok dude. If someone uses my art for something like you did, that's ok.

i ment to mention this before. mentoring is more a sharing of ideas, helpful hints, challenges, etc. different apps are different apps...the mentee can figure out the technique if properly described to them. the challenge in figuring out how to do something really makes you look at stuff in a differnet light and causes you to break down images to their base elements.

LAUGHING BEAR, we seem to have been paired as mentor/mentee. Since dizave's an illustrator and I'm a manipper, I'll guess the division of labour is rather obvious. I don't have any IMs, but you can email me, addy is zek (at) site.uottawa.ca (replace with @ as necessary). This is your baby, so I figure you should email me with any ideas you may have, to start the process. If you want, I can look through your gallery to suggest what I feel you may want to work on.

I'd volunteer to be Welsh's mentor as well, but that's just because I want to get advance looks at his stuff. http://www.comics2film.com/UBB/wink.gif Believe me man, whenever I finally get around to starting on my first scene (certainly by the end of the year), you'll be the first person I turn to for "mentoring".

Darn, I'm always late for these things. I want a mentor, too! Dan, are there any mentors left? I'm ready to take my art to the next level. (insert evil laugh)

I'll do it, if no one better presents themselves.

[Bill Turner]

I want to be Amy's mentor!

[B]

Okay, Turner... You an' me, high noon, 24 paces... you got what it takes?

Joking, of course. I'll bow to Bill's greater experience. Unless he wants to share...

[Bill Turner]

We can start B & BT Mentoring

[B]

Yeah, but if we incorporated like that, we'd have to start charging... On second thought, I'm game. http://www.comics2film.com/UBB/biggrin.gif

Remember kids I'm always watching. http://www.comics2film.com/UBB/wink.gif

D, I too will be able to mentor once I get home, so some time around the 8th of September.

Oh, yea! I have mentors! Two extremely talented mentors, I might add. I feel very special! I shall e-mail you guys in a day or two. I need to figure out exactly what I want to do. Until then, try to play nice. http://www.comics2film.com/UBB/wink.gif

since when did anyuser@anyisp.com become too difficult. it's like your sending messages to the german underground via code. the sheep moonwalk to the stars on friday.

Spam guard. But screw it, you're right. zek@site.uottawa.ca. There, much easier. And I thought it was on Thursday!
