Description Hello all! I'm the last of the new admins, and I don't think that I've submitted anything to this group that hasn't contained a reptile in it.

In honor of this awesome autumn month we have an autumn-y color scheme. White is also available should you wish to use it.

Black is FORBIDDEN! Why? Well, the theme this October is going to be about creating something that represents 'dark monster' (yay All Hallows' Eve!), and it would be too easy to slap down some black, and make a couple of freaky eyes, and have done with it. Play with these colors! Have fun with autumn brightness to add contrast! Pull the darkness out of that yellow!

Tips, hints, and cool things you can do in Photoshop (sorry, I'm not familiar with SAI or Corel Draw or any other program, really):

- Use the burn and dodge tools (this can create some duller, flatter colors).
- Play with your brush mode! You can really pull some interesting shades out when you do this.
- Muck around with the opacity while blending different colors

- All submissions are due before midnight GMT on the 30th of October, and voting will go from then until the 6th of November.

This link should be useful if you need any time-zone help: [link]

- Creating a new piece of artwork is encouraged.

- Please reply here with a link to your finished entry, and don't forget to submit to the featured section of the #Colour-Schemes gallery so everyone can see and so it's officially entered in the challenge! We will move the challenges to the appropriate folder ourselves.

All other rules about #Colour-Schemes can be found here in the group's blog: [link]

And I am so not a PruAus fan. XD. But I was talking about your admittance to being a German-cest fan in one of your other drawings. Still, your art be so good...

I have a lot, most unconventional without history context. My top two are Netherlands x France and Prussia Canada, but only because they don't get as much press as SuFin and DenNor.

ummm.... I actually drew two monsters with this color scheme... can I post both or should I chose?

MorriganFearn In reply to frolic-horror [2011-10-09 16:40:59 +0000 UTC]

You can post both, but when the voting goes up, I'll only choose one for the voting (since you might end up splitting the vote for yourself ). If you have one you would prefer to be voted upon, just tell me.

Surprisingly I have a good idea for this, though I didn't have the color scheme in mind when I working on sketchwork.

Alsi-Margaret [2011-09-30 21:33:05 +0000 UTC]

I'm sure this is written somewhere, but I can't seem to find specifics. When creating a piece for a challenge, are we required to use ALL of the given colors?
For example, if I didn't want to use the orange or yellow, would I be allowed to refrain from using it/them in my submission?
I know that defeats the point of the challenge, but I figured I'd ask to clarify.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

MorriganFearn In reply to Alsi-Margaret [2011-09-30 21:54:11 +0000 UTC]

Yes, you are supposed to use all the given colors. White is optional, however. You don't have to use them in abundance, but part of the challenge is to expand your traditional thinking about colors. Maybe you could use the orange and yellow with the deep red to create the background, and then use dual tones for your monster, for example.

victricia [2011-09-30 07:57:02 +0000 UTC]

Ooohh looks nice!

So... basically, when you use burn tool a lot, the colour can shift towards black. Would that be forbidden as well?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

MorriganFearn In reply to victricia [2011-09-30 14:10:26 +0000 UTC]

Not at all. You just can't use the color black on your color pallet/brush. I want to encourage finding other ways to darken the bright colors. Stark black shadows often don't look as rich and good as clever color games with a variety of shades.

victricia In reply to MorriganFearn [2011-09-30 15:00:22 +0000 UTC]

Ahh, good then! I never use pure black in painting anyway, just wanted to make sure it was okay to burn the colours significantly darker

MorriganFearn In reply to victricia [2011-09-30 15:06:15 +0000 UTC]

It is something that I suggested in tips and tricks Also, you might want to try the multiply mode on your brush if you like.

victricia In reply to MorriganFearn [2011-09-30 16:05:01 +0000 UTC]

Heh, I saw that, but I wasn't sure if it was okay that the multiplied/burnt colour reaches such saturation that it's approaching black But good if it's okay, then we'll see what I'll come up with this time

faun-songs [2011-09-30 07:39:03 +0000 UTC]

Oh wow a challenge indeed <3 This'll have to be one helluva cute monster ;D Nice one. By the way, a quick question: Can non-admin members suggest colour schemes for the months to come? Or only admins can?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

MorriganFearn In reply to faun-songs [2011-09-30 14:14:53 +0000 UTC]

WE WANT SUGGESTIONS! Sorry for the all caps One of the challenges for New Members is to give us some colors and a suggested theme: [link] Participation makes for happy admins.

And just because a monster is dark doesn't mean it has to be evil or mean Originality is a big way to win over my heart.

faun-songs In reply to MorriganFearn [2011-09-30 15:43:45 +0000 UTC]

So, here are the colour schemes [link]

and my suggestions:
Since it'll be the thirteenth, why not "Unlucky"
Royal
Sunset
Kaleidoscope
Or a succession of challenges with the 7 deadly sins/7 virtues themes.

Thanks, but this post will get lost on here. You should submit the link and suggestions under the second challenge: [link] That's where we check when we run out of ideas.
