100 Day Event 2013
Thought I'd try casually/unofficially taking part in the 100 Day Event 2013 going on in the An Artist And Art Collectors Paradise guild.
User Image
I doubt I'll do all the days as I'll most certainly forget to check the guild and probably won't have time, so I thought I'd post here of which ever one's I do decide to do.

The event: you have to do some sort of art with your choice of art medium (sketch, photography, craft, paint, etc) every day for 100 days straight. The piece needs to be based on/fit one of the 5 themes given that day.

Day 1
Theme choices: Self Portrait, Swan, Your favorite book, Mississippi R., Love
My Art Medium: Papercut (Paper, scissors rock and pencil)
Took me an hour to cut it all out @__@;;
User Image

Day 2
Theme choices: Art Style: Realism, Pelican, Film Noir, Atlantis, Light
My Art Medium: Sketch and Digital Color (pencil and PS CS3)
User Image

Day 3
Theme choices: Reinterpret a fairytale, Elephant, Fruit, Cavern, Dark
My Art Medium: Papercut (paper, scissors, craft knife/scalpel)

My Art Medium: Papercut (pencil, scissors, scalpel)
User Image

Day 5
Theme choices: Monochrome blue, Jellyfish, Crush, Germany, Break Away
My Art Medium: Papercut and pencil
I don't think I like this one as much as my previous ones. I drew pencil details on top since it was too small to cut out all the details I wanted...
User Image

Day 6
Theme choices: Draw your room, Rabbit, Fashion, China, Heaven
My Art Medium: Papercut
Rabbit on the moon pounding the elixir of life

My Art Medium: Papercut
I wanted to try to go for a Chinese art style/look.
I decided to add the circle in the background to try to represent the moon (the dragon represents the sun I believe? ) Also in Chinese art the circle tends to represent eternity and perfection, which I thought was nice symbolism for a phoenix.

My Art Medium: Papercut
Apparently Mastodon's were "predominantly forest dwelling animals that fed on a mixed diet of browsing and grazing with a seasonal preference for browsing, in contrast to living elephants that are mostly grazing animals."
And yes, I did need to look up the difference between grazing and browsing XD
So here is a browsing Mastodon.
For anyone interested apparently "grazing is eating grass or forbs, and browsing is eating woody twigs and leaves from trees and shrubs"
He came out fluffier/hairier than I had planned but I still like how he came out XD
