Project Community! [For weasyl art project/event brainstorming!] by Jotaku

GOODNESS THIS TOOK LONGER TO SET UP THAN PLANNED /wipes brow
Anyway, I went ahead and made a forum post for my previous journal:
https://forums.weasyl.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?4500-Project-Community!

I've dubbed it Project Community, and I highly encourage those to post on it who would like to brainstorm/work together to create community projects and events to better help Weasyl not only gain a stronger sense of community, but also grow as one.
I've included a couple things that were advertised to me earlier as well! (Including the Comment Project, Badge Exchange, and a raffle). And will probably get to posting weekly to monthly [Project Community] news journals regarding projects going on around the site.

AAAAHHH PLS THO I would really like to discuss working out a Weasyl Fantasia or something jflksd;jf
Also I cannot reply to my own thread until someone else does SNORTS
So yoooo if someone could comment and get the ball rolling? 83c;

    gahh I'm absolutely pants when it comes to brainstorming, but whatever everyone eventually settles on, I'll be sure to participate/advertise it ;v;!

    • Link

      Oh awesome! Would you like me to put you down as a user willing to advertise stuff? : o
      Hopefully some people who DO like to brainstorm and put together projects will stop by ahaha

      • Link

        Yup sure, that'd be rad~ And yes! /fingers crossed/ ;v;

        Aye aye, Cap'n! <3

    You can put me on the list of people willing to help advertise for sure. I also know my art isn't superawesomesauce or anything but I could probably offer up sketches and/or smaller traditionally colored pieces (headshots, colored sketches, etc.) as prizes for some events. At least, I wouldn't mind being asked by individuals seeking artists. : ) I've been on plenty of online art sites but have never really thought of them as a true community (or maybe I'm just generally too shy, lol), so the prospect of something more along those lines is appealing!

    • Link

      Awesome, I added you to the list!
      Thank you so much for offering! :D
      for sure, if you ever wanted to chill around the thread and throw ideas and opinions around on possible projects, that would be awesome!
      I think such a thing could be a good way for lots of people to make friends and such >V<

    woow you rlly put allot of time into that thread ^__^ it all sounds very interesting.

    Sadly I dont have anything weasyl related projects to offer atm then my Iron Artist challenge ^_^. I am redirecting ppl form fa to my weasyl to read all about it, so I hope that helps :P My weasyl only raffle recently ended, but I might offer more raffles in the future. Just doing the best I can to send as much as possible peeps to weasyl!!! We can do it!!! Weasyl go weasyl go!

    I will try to brainstorm about ideas and share them in your thread when I have them :P! You already mention a few good ones :3

    Thanks for putting so much effort to give Weasyl a future! Its rlly nice and aweseoemmm! I rlly like to have Weasyl my main account and that weasyl can grow a bigger community!

    • Link

      Yay thank you! I look forward to discussing/working stuff out with you there.
      Unfortunately an iron artist doesn't quite follow under the events I plan to advertise there... but raffles and things that offer prizes are! :D
      So if you do offer one, lemme know and I'll include it!

      • Link

        hehe I know ^__^ As soon as I have some raffle or something else up I will let you know :3 thanks allot!

  • Link

    +1000 loves to you and this whole idea uwu

    • Link

      HNNN THANK YOU I hope it is successful /anxious fidgeting

      • Link

        it's okay! c:
        whispers although you can add me to the available artists list too if you like, as well as the advertisers :>>

  • Link

    I used to be a community moderator/ volunteer on deviantart and featured daily deviations. I know weasyl does not have a fancy thumbnail sharing ability, but in my experience, doing journals featuring artists and artworks you find of interest is a huge help in building community spirit. Artists love to have their work featured and seen. :)

    • Link

      This is true and a good idea!
      With my Project Community news/journal posts I may try to offer something like a feature in the future... : O
      Thanks for the suggestion! :D

  • Link

    YES!

    Props to you for getting this started!

    • Link

      Thank you! I hope it is successful! *m*

  • Link

    Weasyl Fantasia sounds very interesting.

  • Link

    I'd love to be on the 'users offereing services' list…I think it would be a fun way to help the community!

    • Link

      Thank you! I am definitely adding you down for that list! :D

    The con badge thing is a real nice idea, but maybe we can get something started that's similar but for icons or little portraits, or the like. I for one like to enter into secret santa like stuff and drawing people's characters, but making the badge is a bit much for me. I don't have the supplies to make the badges, we do have to do that right? Am I understanding the conbadge exchange correctly? You make a badge and send it off? If you don't know that's cool, I will ask them. I just thought I would ask and throw the similar idea out there at the same time.

    • Link

      I do not know, as I'm not affiliated with the Badge Exchange and have never done badges. So you'll have to ask them!
      But I can put down the art exchange down for a suggestion, and if you would like to try and get it rolling through the forums as something or organize with other users, then by all means do so! :D

      • Link

        Hrrrmmmm... I don't know... seems like a hefty responsibility, don't know if I can handle that. Or have the time for it... I guess I will talk to the ones that do the badge thing and see what they have to say.

  • Link

    Okay, the fantasia sounds awesome. How would we start that up? I'd also be interested in helping out on projects, though I'm a bit lost in most of this.

    • Link

      I'm trying to get discussion for it going on the thread--so if you wanna join/post there, that would be awesome!
      I have never participated in either the dA or Pixiv Fantasia, so mostly I'm looking for people who HAVE that can tell me more about how the events went down. Otherwise, I am open for ideas/suggestions of course!

      Pretty much, if you wanna help with things right now, definitely recommend joining the thread and just trying to help brainstorm/provide input. if you see an idea you really like and wanna try organizing, that would be awesome too!
