Challenge 015 - Astronomy
Challenge 015 - Astronomy
Challenge 015 is the brainchild of strivaria, and without further ado, I'm going to copy/paste her wonderful idea:
I went back and looked at the previous challenges and kind of liked the idea of giving separate visual and textual prompts. To that end, I thought it might be interesting to do an Astronomy Picture of the Day challenge where the artist uses all or part of or simply take inspiration from the picture of the day and the author incorporates something from the text into their story.
For example, if we use the 08/22/06 entry, the author might have something about the smoke of a devastated village swirling around Sheppard like black angel wings and the artist could use the image to provide John's wings in a collage or what have you.
Below are some selected pictures that strivaria gathered --and one I added-- because they're so damn pretty... You can pick one of those, or, you can browse the Astronomy Picture of the Day page and find another one you especially like!

Rules:
» Teams of 2 (writer/artist) as per usual. Nothing else really. Just ask if you have a question.
Challenge closes December 31st around 5pm CEST. (?)
If you have an idea for a challenge, don't hesitate to share! ;)
---------------------------------
Quick FAQ: 1. There's no deadline for entering the challenge. 2. You can post your work as soon as you're done, i.e. whenever during the course of the month. 3. You can enter the challenge twice as long as it's with a different person. 4. Artist and writer can post their work in their respective ljs, but both links have to be in the same post in the community. 5. You can pimp your work in other communities as well. ( Read more...)
When posting, make sure you follow the posting and tagging guidelines. You'll save Rodney's kitten from an awful death, but most of all, my time and sanity. Thank you.
