Triptych Challenge

 

Hello everybody! I would like to tell you about a new challenge called the Triptych Challenge that will start on July 11th. What is a triptych? Well here's a definition of what a tryptych is:

 

triptych

noun trip·tych ˈtrip-(ˌ)tik

Definition

a series of interconnecting scenes built on a common background

 

Now that you know what a triptych is, let me give you a general overview of what the challenge is about. Every month one of our coordinators, moderators, or members will create a background and you will download that background and add your artwork to it, you will then upload your image to the Triptych Gallery. Your triptych will then become apart of the sea of other triptychs in the gallery. I think this is going to be something cool for us to see and be apart of. Now it's time for some more detailed information, here are the instructions and rules:

 

Instructions

1. Download the background provided or one of the other backgrounds for the current month in the gallery. The other backgrounds already have the triptych panels laid out, but you can download the background above and create your own triptych panels if you want. To download one of the backgrounds, you're going to click on the button under the background image you choose and a new browser window will open displaying the background, you are then going to right-click on the background and a menu box will pop up and you're going to scroll down to Save image as... and click on it, name the background whatever you like, and save the background to your computer.

2. Build your scene on the background you chose and upload it to the Triptych Gallery.

 

Rules

1. You will have the entire month to complete your images.

2. Multiple uploads are permitted.

3. You can upload your images at anytime during the month.

4. No nudity, no extreme violence, and no sexual themes. If a flag has to be added, the image will be moved to an appropriate gallery.

 

I hope this challenge will be of interest to you and if you think any other members would enjoy this challenge, then please tell them about it. If you have any questions, then feel free to leave me a comment below or send me a sitemail. I hope to see you and your amazing images soon!

 

I have rescheduled the launch day for the challenge. I promise I will let you all know when the challenge is up and going.

The challenge will be starting today. Yay! I will give the okay to activate the gallery later on today. If you would like to contribute a background for me to upload to the gallery for the challenge, then let me know. I hope you're having a great day or night!

Hi Dee,
where can we start?

Christian

Hi Christian! You're going to go to the Triptych Gallery and start there. I have six backgrounds for you to choose from that come with panels or without panels. If you want to create the panels in the triptych yourself, then you can definitely do that. I was trying to make it easier for you all to download the background from one place, but if you want I can upload the backgrounds here too.

Here's the link to the gallery:

Here are the links to the backgrounds in the gallery:

Background #1 - July 2016

Background #2 - July 2016

Background #3 - July 2016

Background #4 - July 2016

Background #5 - July 2016

I have simplified the rules so they'll be easier to understand and give everybody more elbow room to let their creativity run wild.
