Hi everyone! I've posted over at Deviant Art to start the monthly Gatchaman fanart challenge. I'm hoping lots of artists will participate, so we'll have plenty of artwork to drool over each month! I already know of two great artists who have placed their hat in the ring! Here is what I've posted (so any artists here who have missed it over at DA can join in): "Hi everyone and Happy New Year! We were talking over at Gatchamania.net, and many of us were wishing for monthly Gatchaman (or one of the versions) art. I explained that we had tried to put together a calendar years ago, but never actually printed the calendar. Instead of a calendar, I'd like to challenge all of you wonderful artists to produce one Gatchaman - themed piece per month this year. What we'd like to see is a seasonal fanart for each month (for example: January- snow, February- Valentine's Day, March- St. Pat's, April- Easter, and so on...). It isn't limited to those topics, but it would be nice to be able to connect your picture to the month it represents. The deadline for each picture will be the last day of each month. Just draw a picture and post it here. Please indicate in your comments that your picture was made for the "Gatch-a-Month" Challenge (GAM). If you post it and label it for this challenge, we'd like your permission to also post/promote your artwork over at Gatchamania.net. I know they will be so excited to see and comment on some new artwork each month! I already have my idea, so I need to get my pencils out! Happy 2015! Hope it is a great one! Springie" Looking forward to seeing what happens!

Sounds interesting. This will give me an excuse to keep practicing the drawing after the new semester starts.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

I'm in. Though I had to "snigger" at the theme of snow as it is stinking hot over here...but my muse is already in planning mode and has a picture in mind....and a story to go with it Thanks xox

Ha! Sorry about that!! Yes, Aussie friends are welcome to do a summer theme for January! It may help those of us in the frozen north to see something with a warm weather theme for the new year! Whatever works for your hemisphere!

I'm in.

I'm so excited! Can't wait to see your entries!!

Ummm, yeah, love the idea, and can't wait to see what everyone comes up with, but anyone who has seen my version of the "Swan" over at DA will understand why I won't jump in to contribute Hope everyone that does though has a lot of fun.

YAY! I can't wait to see what's produced! I'm going to be a viewer and not a participator, though -- my artistic style is strictly "abstract stick figure"!

Everyone is welcome! Even stick figures will be appreciated!

Abstract stick figures can be very entertaining.

Okay, FINE! here's a link to an example of my best work so far: http://gatchamania.net/thread.php?threadid=4781&sid=

LOLOL

OK I think I have an idea... Cross your fingers that I can manage to create it now...

Have you ever read "Order of the Stick"? It's a stick figure D&D comic and it is really funny- I don't get all of the jokes (because I've never played D&D except for really early Intellivision video games), but it gives me a good chuckle. TJ introduced me to it. Somehow those stick figures are very expressive! Order of the Stick
