Hey everyone! This is the place where everyone can submit ideas for the weekly drawing jam. If you're submitting more than one idea try to make it neat and clear(easy to read at a glance) so even if you ramble on(I tend to :P) just try to make a list at the end of your thoughts-this will ensure your ideas don't get missed
thanks so much
here's the cut&paste from the drawing jam update

OFFICIAL IDEA POOL

The DJMs(drawing jam mods) would like to setup an official idea pool thread. This is where you submit an idea suggestion into one thread to keep things nice and tidy.

The DJMs will dip into this pool if:

1) An idea really jumps out at them
2) There seems to be high demand for a particular idea or
3) We're just simple out of idea juice lol...ahem...uh so the basic rules are as follows:

Stay on topic-random discussion or conversation should be left out of this thread-although it’s fun to get off topic and be silly once in awhile and is welcome elsewhere, we would prefer if this thread remained on topic and easy to refer to.

thanks!
the DJM's

    So I'm pretty unoriginal when it comes to topix, pretty cliche actually. I like the typical Robots, or Cowboys fighting Vampires, or Robotic Cowboys fighting Vampire Dinosaurs! I like all the previous ideas that people came up with, and I like the idea of portraits of people on the HUB. That definitely will help with people socializing as well, but just in case there are some people that like the same types of topix that I do; I've compiled a list of ideas that some of us had a while ago for themes and stuff. Anyway, it's a long list but it may help to inspire some other ideas.

    Bounty Hunter
    Zombie
    Conan
    Dungeons and Dragons
    Vampire
    Heaven vs. Hell
    Robot
    Mount Up
    Fairy Tale, Folk Lore, Brothers Grimm
    Dreams vs. Nightmare
    Bug’s Life (Insect Creatures)
    Animal King
    Space Opera
    Death Dealer
    Utopia
    Atlantis
    Dragon
    Soul Catcher (Grim Reaper)
    Princess
    Intergalactic War
    Oracle
    Space Ship
    Flight
    Elemental
    Pirates
    Cyborg
    Under the Sea
    Pioneer, Exploration
    Bodyguard
    Double Agent
    Elf
    Tribe
    Artifact
    Amazon
    Sorcerer
    Warhammer
    Guardian
    Assassin
    Hoplite
    Voodoo
    Shaman
    The Hunt
    Fighting Game Character
    Final Fantasy
    Alien Ambient Life
    Hero
    Lone Wolf and Cub
    Pilot
    Thunderdome
    7 Deadly Sins (We can each get one)
    Comic Strip
    Metal Gear
    Gundam or Robotech
    Dark Knight
    Half Life
    Resident Evil
    Camelot

      Ok, here's my contribution to the list xD

      Samurai
      Ninja
      X-Men!
      Yourself as a mythological creature (I second that idea *-*)
      Angel/Demon
      Dark Lord
      Mage
      Smash Bros! (lol)
      The Legend of Zelda
      our dreamed picture (a pic we've dreamed to do for a long time but we aren's good enough to do it the way we want...we can just do the sketch for that piece and complete it later)
      well that's all I can think of right now x.x

        Star Wars meets insects, so recreate the Star Wars universe to insect level. Like scarabs as Stormtroopers, and the battle on Hoth could take place in a freezer and stuff like that. Perhaps the Deathstar could be a blown light in the kitchen. This idea could be epic!

          Unrequited Love
          Fallen Hero
          The 7 Sins: What's yours?
          Party! (lots of characters interacting)
          Your imaginary friends/characters from when you were a kid, but now.
          A scene from your favourite book

            Here are some of mine:

            -Self portrait (not very original but good practice)
            -What would make your favourite tv show/movie/game more awesome?
            -Halloween
            -Music
            -You could also do jams for different colours (i hope that doesn't sound too lame)

                  i came across a series of stories today that i thought would be really cool as a drawing jam idea. each story could have its own jam, there's a lot so it could go on for a while.

                  the title for the jam could be the name of the holder. for example in this one it would be "the holder of the end".

                  In any city, in any country, go to any mental institution or halfway house in you can get yourself to. When you reach the front desk, ask to visit someone who calls himself "The Holder of the End". Should a look of childlike fear come over the worker's face, you will then be taken to a cell in the building. It will be in a deep hidden section of the building. All you will hear is the sound of someone talking to himself echo the halls. It is in a language that you will not understand, but your very soul will feel unspeakable fear.

                  Should the talking stop at any time, STOP and QUICKLY say aloud "I'm just passing through. I wish to talk." If you still hear silence, flee. Leave; do not stop for anything, do not go home, don't stay at an inn, just keep moving, sleep where your body drops. You will know in the morning if you've escaped.

                  If the voice in the hall comes back after you utter those words continue on. Upon reaching the cell all you will see is a windowless room with a person in the corner, speaking an unknown language, and cradling something. The person will only respond to one question. "What happens when they all come together?"

                  The person will then stare into your eyes and answer your question in horrifying detail. Many go mad in that very cell, some disappear soon after the meeting, a few end their lives. But most do the worst thing, and look upon the object in the person's hands. You will want to as well. Be warned that if you do, your death will be one of cruelty and unrelenting horror.

                  Your death will be in that room, by that person's hands.

                  That object is 1 of 538. They must never come together. Never.

                    CG Hub illo swap. - everyone who wants to participate throws their name in and you are randomly given another member's name. So here's the challenging part, you pick an illustation or piece of work from that name you have drawn and re- illustrate it doing "your take " of the other person's piece.

                    Sequential jam- everyone illustrates a comicbook panel and continues on to try and tell a story from the previous persons panel. This could get really crazy hehe. The tricky part is getting it started. It would be pretty challenging for the person who gets the ball rolling.

                      I used to do that comic book idea with my friends in high school. I think that could be a fun jam on it's own, aside from the bi-weekly
