Speaking of the future...
This is something that's probably going to get brought up on the dA blog, but I figured I'd bring it up here, too. Again, future, and all ;)
Anyway!
I'll just jump right into it. For me, there are a few important things that go into making art:
1) Inspiration
2) Motivation
3) Persistence
I mean, I figure you've got to have an idea to be able to work. Seems only logical. Once you've got that, you have to want to work on it. Again, makes sense. And, finally, once you've started, you have to want to keep working, seeing the thing through to the finish.
Now, ostensibly, this group is here for all three of those. Get you a theme each week, maybe get you an idea of something to do - inspiration. Then, trying to have a deadline and a community all working towards the same goal - motivation to start, and then a reason to persist.
But... I sometimes feel like we're not coming through for you, you know? Like, we do a decent job on getting you something for inspiration, generally, but then... what? Are we helping to motivate you at all? Are we helping to get you to persist to the end of the piece?
If not, what would you like to see? What can we do differently?
After all, this group is for you, everypony. Without you, there's no future.
And I don't know about you, but the future is something I'd like to see - together, with all of you :)
