Okay, this is going to be a major awesome thing. As you may already know, there has been a group drawing going on another section of these forums (the link is in my sig). Now, that one has been going on for some time, so I decided to make a new, modified one. Now, this is not like the original group drawing. The biggest change is that there will be 2 things going at once. One is a group drawing similar to the first, and the other will be a group edit of a picture I saw on the "Post Your Picture" thread. However, there will be some rules as to what you can and can't do.
READ ALL THE RULES BEFORE YOU POST CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE DRAWING OR EDIT!!!!
1) Whatever you do must be able to be undone with 1 or 2 undos. I'd try and keep it to 1, but some things are best done with 2 (for example, you may want a filter to only affect part of a picture, so you may want to select it then do the filter, which would be 2 undos, but is only really doing 1 thing). So don't draw 2 lines and then fuss "Well it was only 2 undos!" when we ignore your part. It needs to be 1 thing that you do, but that 1 thing may take a couple steps.
2) No writing on the picture. It's just not cool
3) Please, don't copy another picture and paste it into the drawing. If done well, this may be acceptable in the Group Edit, but never is it allowed in the drawing.
4) Do not resize the photo or the drawing. We will keep it the same size the whole time.
5) Filters were overused in the first group drawing. Thus, you are only allowed to use filters every 5th step. So, if you are doing step 4, you can't use a filter. If you're doing step 10, or step 25, or something like that, you can use a filter. So remember, only if your step is evenly divisible by 5 may you use a filter.
6) If there seems to be some general theme, or something people like about the drawing (for example: the lines in the 1st group drawing), please try not to ruin that part. Like, in the first group drawing, the original few lines were visible for a very long time, and we tried our best to preserve them. If something similar happens in this group drawing, try and keep them around.
7) Once you have posted an addition to the drawing, wait for at least 3 people to post before you add something else. That way the topic won't get fought over. The only time this rule should be violated is if the topic idles for a couple days and sinks a bit. Then you might post an addition just to keep it going, but NEVER post two of your own additions in a row.
8) If you see somebody violate the rules, just say "You broke such and such rule, so I'm ignoring that one" and post as though there post doesn't exist. So, if somebody posts a step18 that is resized and has 80 things added to it, just ignore it and post your own step18.
9) Please, if you post, add something to the drawing. I don't mind if you comment on somebody else's work, but put your contribution at the end. Also, try and keep the drawing and the editted picture going at about the same rate. If the picture is on step 5 and the drawing is on step 18, we have a problem. I did two at a time so there'd be more variety, and I'd like if both would be added to equally. Add to both if you want, but if you only add to one, add to the one that is behind.
10) Don't break any of the rules. Please guys, let's keep this one serious. You can make spam posts if you want, just don't mess up the drawing and picture and stuff.
11) When you save your part of the picture, name it appropriately. Mine is named Step_1 (a for the picture, b for the drawing). The second one should be Step_2, and after that comes Step_3. This will help later so we will know how many steps have gone by.
12) When you post your addition, please write what you did. This shouldn't take long, since you're only allowed to do one thing. And even if it's something obvious, just write a little sentence like "I drew a green line" or "I applied the Glowing Edges filter" to describe what you did. This will help if something doesn't look like a 1-undo operation, because we'll know what you did and less time will be spent arguing over whether or not we should keep something.
So yeah, those da rules. I will start us off with a picture to edit:
And a drawing to add to:
And remember, you can use www.imageshack.us to upload pictures. That's what I'll use, because I find that FFR is waaaay too slow.
EDIT: Added rules 11 and 12. And please guys, no more screwing around
