We have a winner!!

ANNOUNCEMENT

AND THE WINNER ISSSSSSSS……..

___ !!!!

Congrats to ~LithMyathar!!!!! Great job and design, and your prizes will be awarded soon…I just have to let the prize giver know of who won…the rest is below in the contest area…so scroll like there’s no tomorrow lol!

old news

Ok, so here is the deal…I will be posting a flame for the Newbs ONLY of the club here that comes from either Apophysis 2.06c 3D Hack, or Apophysis 2.07, you must then sign-in where you will first leave a comment, then copy/paste these flames into your Apo program that is specified, it’ll be different each time, and design a fractal that will be judged by the Senior club members in these categories: Originality, Complexity, Composition, Skill, and Balance.

Originality being that your fractal needs to be a design that hasn’t any elements used from anything else, a ’start from scratch’ sort of feel; and also, not remind the judges of any other ’style’ per se…

Complexity is meaning your design will show thought, time and effort put into the design and not just thrown together in a matter of minutes.

Composition means the lighting and graininess, or lack there of; also, crispness and appearance of layering to the overall design.

Skill means that the amount of skill apparent in the design is obvious; that you show your ability to use all of the tools available to come up with a ‘wow’ design in a given amount of time.

Balance simply means that you showed an overall balance in the brightness, gamma, vibrance, and all aspects of the piece in itself.

After you design and upload your fractal to deviantART, you will then name it and submit it to the club where the staff will then post all of the entries after all have been received by the deadline. On a normal basis, you will have the better part of two weeks to accomplish your task, so please pay close attention to when the announcement will be posted, as this will be your guideline to when the deadline will be.

The first set of params have been posted; if you are a newb and would like to participate, please comment on this journal your desire and i will note you the password to the page for the params…Good luck all and have fun designing!!

I hope that more newbs are interested then the one so far…

DevID contest for NFotM ends: Wed May 14, 2008, 11:59 EDT

OLDER NEWS

So, we have just recently hired a new Membership manager. she is young and energetic and is really excited about learning more about fractals!! And her devID is *SimplySteff!! She isn’t a fractalist by art-trade, but she is anxious and willing to learn all about the art form. She is also excited about what this club is all about, and that is why she voiced interest in helping however she could, so i suggested to her that instead of just being a ‘watcher’ as she isn’t a fractalist (yet ) that she could be a staffer and really get her hands dirty with helping those that are fractalists to improve their art form by way of encouragement from our MM!! So go to her profile and wish her well in her new position everyone…Welcome aboard Steff!!

**Sllight EDIT: Please congratulate our first promoted Newb…*n8iveattitude1!! Her art has greatly improved in the short amount of time she has been rendering her fractal art and so it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you our newest SENIOR FRACTALIST here on =NFotM!!

OLDER NEWS

[#1:] and the Screenshot WINNER ISSSSSSSSSSS…….

=Meckie

Congratulations =Meckie!!!

[#2:] CHASE DETAILS…
ok, so here they are, read carefully, and find out who this person is ok, and don’t forget to leave a brief msg and this emote [ ] on their front page so i’ll know who has actually found the target of the chase, ok!! here they are:
clue #1= target is a female…
clue #2= target’s last journal lists ‘chocolate tea-unleaded’ as her drink…
clue #3= target has recently created a deviation named: “FM Stamp”…

READY……..SET……..CHAAAAAASSEE!!!!!!!!

[#3:]New Fractalists of the Month, Issue 4 has now been published by our wonderful club journalist ~UncleMontezuma, so go take a look and it and share it with everyone in the community ok!!

[#4:] I just published a second news article for your reading pleasure called “Mother May I…” where I have taken over 200 fractals in our club fav’s gallery and featured them…so go take a peek and see if you are included…if not, don’t worry, there’ll be another one later on this year; i obviously couldn’t include every single one in he fav’s gallery, that wouldn’t be practical, so have some patience and you too will be featured ok…you are all very talented artists, so please remember that, ok…

[#5:]So I’m thinkin’ we’ll attempt at the NFotM Chase again, but with a slight change in the format…and here is how we’ll run it this time, ok.
1st: I will post a few clues about ONE of our club members/watchers…
2nd: YOU the club member/watcher newb and senior alike (including staff–except me) will ‘chase’ down the clues in effort to figure out who the target deviant is…
3rd: when you think you have found the target deviant, you will leave a comment on their front page with the phrase “You have been caught by: *insert devID/icon here*“
4th: then, you will note your ‘capture’s avatar and one of your fav deviations of theirs from their gallery to the club.
5th: THERE WILL BE A TIME LIMIT on each ‘chase’ so don’t hesitate, get right on it; the chase will generally run for only a weeks time, that being from the time stamp of the journal entry to seven full days afterwards, so pay close attention to that…
6th: the winners in the given time period will be featured in order of correct location of target and time in which the capture was executed in a club chase journal entry and possibly news article…and there will be braggin rights in how quickly and efficiently you were able to locate the target deviant…again, this is in an effort to get to know your fellow deviants, and club members/watchers…so it is meant to have fun also…the winner and first and second runners up will be immortalized in the clubs web blog also, so everyone will know each time and be able to go and look off site who did and didn’t ‘capture’ the member/watcher…
7th: And here is the twist…the winner of each chase, must feature in some form or another, the target deviant of that winners chase; that could be a journal entry with a few favorite deviations from the target, a tribute news article illustrating a few pieces and why they like some of their art, an interview that is submitted either to the club, or in their own personal journal, or a tribute news article…or any other form of recognition; bearing in mind that the target could be a senior dA member, a senior club member, a newb, our gallery director herself, a staff member of the club or just a watcher of the club…so, my advice…start boning up on everyone’s profiles and galleries…we start next week
**SPECIAL NOTE: journal timestamp is in Pacific Daylight Time I believe…so adjust your participation accordingly, ok…and GOOD LUCK!!

ANNOUNCEMENT

OK, so here’s the thing…we have two people that have submitted the screenshot…only trouble is, somehow, they are both of 5,000 pageviews so i had to do some sleuthing to figure out who actually was the earliest submitter, first i checked the timestamp of the note, but still was puzzled about two screenshots of 5,000, so i checked the actual dev submission time, so that is how i arrived at our winning submission ok…

Update*NFotM news article, Chase event +

ANNOUNCEMENT

[#1:]New Fractalists of the Month, Issue 4 has now been published by our wonderful club journalist ~UncleMontezuma, so go take a look and it and share it with everyone in the community ok!!

~AND~ I just published a second news article for your reading pleasure called “Mother May I…” where I have taken over 200 fractals in our club fav’s gallery and featured them…so go take a peek and see if you are included…if not, don’t worry, there’ll be another one later on this year; i obviously couldn’t include every single one in he fav’s gallery, that wouldn’t be practical, so have some patience and you too will be featured ok…you are all very talented artists, so please remember that, ok…

[#2:]So I’m thinkin’ we’ll attempt at the NFotM Chase again, but with a slight change in the format…and here is how we’ll run it this time, ok.
1st: I will post a few clues about ONE of our club members/watchers…
2nd: YOU the club member/watcher newb and senior alike (including staff–except me) will ‘chase’ down the clues in effort to figure out who the target deviant is…
3rd: when you think you have found the target deviant, you will leave a comment on their front page with the phrase “You have been caught by: *insert devID/icon here*“
4th: then, you will note your ‘capture’s avatar and one of your fav deviations of theirs from their gallery to the club.
5th: THERE WILL BE A TIME LIMIT on each ‘chase’ so don’t hesitate, get right on it; the chase will generally run for only a weeks time, that being from the time stamp of the journal entry to seven full days afterwards, so pay close attention to that…
6th: the winners in the given time period will be featured in order of correct location of target and time in which the capture was executed in a club chase journal entry and possibly news article…and there will be braggin rights in how quickly and efficiently you were able to locate the target deviant…again, this is in an effort to get to know your fellow deviants, and club members/watchers…so it is meant to have fun also…the winner and first and second runners up will be immortalized in the clubs web blog also, so everyone will know each time and be able to go and look off site who did and didn’t ‘capture’ the member/watcher…
7th: And here is the twist…the winner of each chase, must feature in some form or another, the target deviant of that winners chase; that could be a journal entry with a few favorite deviations from the target, a tribute news article illustrating a few pieces and why they like some of their art, an interview that is submitted either to the club, or in their own personal journal, or a tribute news article…or any other form of recognition; bearing in mind that the target could be a senior dA member, a senior club member, a newb, our gallery director herself, a staff member of the club or just a watcher of the club…so, my advice…start boning up on everyone’s profiles and galleries…we start next week
**SPECIAL NOTE: journal timestamp is in Pacific Daylight Time I believe…so adjust your participation accordingly, ok…and GOOD LUCK!!

Shout out for activity…

Ok all of you experienced fractalists…here is where you get to shine a lil for the club…
What i’m gonna do now, is ask for any of the senior fractalists to note the club and let us know what kinds of things you’d like to help the newbs with; is it technique, scripts, use of plugins, gradients, editor, program knowledge, etc? Now’s the time to let us know so we can plan activities to best utilize your expertise in the area you are strongest. I know the newbs will greatly appreciate whatever help you can offer, so long as you speak up and offer it lol…so come one, come all and help out the new kids on the block! They’d love to hear from you whether it is one on one, or whether it is in a group activity setting…it matters not…they would love the benefit of your experience! Looking forward to hearing from you all, and this is for all experienced fractalist currently either watching the club or who are members. **Subject line: Senior Fractalists aid
