View the current GimpDome worm!

These are the rules, they are pretty informal, but it helps the other artists and me if you follow them as best as possible:

Submissions are 550x450 pixels, and will be converted by myself into JPG (compressed to 90% to save bandwidth). You can host them yourself at higher quality if you want :)

• You must put effort into the picture you create for the graphics worm.
  *Obviously, We won't want anything you just scratched up in a few seconds, or just copied and pasted. We're expecting decent quality art.
• The piece you create must incorporate the previous artist's leading elements.
  *Work with what the last artist has left you, don't just fade it out, they have left it for a reason, you must make something with, based on or using it.
• You must leave leading elements on the trailing edge of your piece, thus leaving the next artist a foundation to work on.
  *The challenge in a graphics worm is being able to develop something based on what the last user left you, if you don't leave anything substantial for the next person, theres no challenge.
• You must create a follow-on piece to trail your work.
  *Most of the time this will simply be the elements you left continuing their path. You can always see an example of this on the worm, the last piece will always be called "next", this is the current follow on piece.
• Nothing offensive is allowed
  *We don't want our worm tainted :P

There is a 3 day deadline to get a piece done, it's not strict, but it helps if you can show me the work in progress. We don't want to rush people, but at the same time, we don't want to wait forever for a piece.

A post will be made in the Worm Discussion thread with each new addition to the worm. If you are interested in contributing the next piece, you may post that you are working on it. Please do not do this if you have no intention of submitting a piece.

For safety sake, the staff will retain the right to tell you that any piece of art you submit sucks :P
