Graphic Worm #2

[Kami]

There have been a few requests for a new graphic worm so here it is! There will be some changes here from the last graphic worm so we can hopefully adjust for the issues we had last time with turn order & completion.

CHANGES FROM THE LAST WORM:

 This worm will be SHORT. I'm going to run this from June 24, 2016 - August 01, 2016. That way, hopefully we can do multiple worms even if they are shorter in length.

Themed Worm! I'm feeling in a really summery mood and I'd love to see what you guys think of when you think of "Summertime Fun"; also, I feel a theme might help with the unity of the worm and help it look like one long image instead of a series of small images.

I have revised the participation rules to avoid the confusion and delay from last time. The rules are listed below, so please read them carefully! If you have any questions, please PM Kami for clarification. I have also included a brief F.A.Q. to address the questions I received in the last thread / via PM during the last worm.

 Work with the image before yours & be considerate of the next person. Remember, this is a collaborative effort so don't just focus on just your image -- work with the piece before, and make sure that your piece will allow for the next person to transition smoothly into their work.

PARTICIPATION RULES:

• Joining	If you would like to continue the worm please reserve your spot with a post. From that reservation you have twenty four hours from the time of your post to complete an image, or someone else can take your spot. First come, first served so only reserve a spot if you have the time! ** this may be subject to change if we get a lot of participants, but I don't foresee that as being a huge issue based on the last worm.
• Turns	While there is no formal turn order, no back-to-back images for any one person, though! Make sure there it at least one other person between turns.
• Images	Please make your image 650x400 pixels, and save as a .png file. Do not use borders around your image.
• Watermark	You will be credited by name underneath your image with a link back to your profile here on support. No watermark is preferred, but if you'd like to have a watermark and/or your name on your piece please make it as unobtrusive & part of the image as possible.
• Theme	Please follow the theme as best as you can! The theme is open for personal interpretation so feel free to be creative! You can take the theme literally, or use a more abstract approach (such as summery colours or vectors, etc).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Q:	What is a graphic worm?
A:	A graphic worm is a collaborative effort by multiple users to create one very long, visually seamless image out of a collection of smaller images put end-to-end.

Q:	How do I make my image seamless?
A:	There are several ways to do this, one being the flipping method. You can also take the end colour of the previous image and use it as the background colour or part of the background for yours. If you need help, please PM Kami for assistance!

Q:

Where do I get pictures from to use in the worm?

A:

There are a variety of resources for this. You can check out the "renders" category on deviantArt, as well as render collection sites like Planet Renders. You can also use stock images, but renders (cut-outs) tend to be the easiest to work with. Please note that we are using the honour system: it is your responsibility that the images you use are available for use under public domain, creative commons, or fair use. More information: Can I Use That Picture?

Q:	I don't get it, do you have any examples?

 First image is already up! I went ahead and kicked things off by posting the intro image to the worm. The ending colour to my image is #fce6a7.

I'll go next.

Worm updated! I'll give this until Tuesday or Wednesday to get another submission before I go again :>

I hope the fact that I added another umbrella to the right side doesn't keep anyone from going next. I did it in a way that, at least in my opinion, would make it easy to continue the umbrella design into the next image.

The flipping method is still really popular, at least based on the last graphic worm, so I think it should be fine! Provided that others participate haha. We had some troubles getting people to do it.

If it comes down to it would you be opposed to a two person worm? haha.

Yeah, really the only thing that would need flipped is the umbrella (and maybe with some color adjustments), so it would be easy enough.

No, I suppose I wouldn't mind. But with any luck, others will join in.

Great! As per the rules, you have 24hrs from the time of your post to complete and post the image. Thanks for joining in!

[Kami]

sorry for the delay! I'll update the worm as soon as I am on my computer!

[Kami]

ce?a?en??? - Your image has been added! For future reference however, please make sure there are no transparent pixels that exceed the maximum image width of 650px (: I had to crop out about 3px of transparency on your image to make it fit.

If no one takes the next spot by tomorrow evening, I'll do it (:

Oh sorry, I must have missed it. I'll make sure next time!
