Objectives:
-To expand one's 'creative horizon' by executing designs on a rotation basis for characters, creatures, environments and industrial designs.

Idea:
Each month 4 (or any multiple of 4) will partake in an adventure to create their own universe. Each person (or people depending on the total number of people participating) will work on a new topic each week, under the category of either character, creature, environment or industrial design. At the end of the week, participants must submit their entry, and they will be rotated to the next category until they have done all 4 categories (total duration equaling 4 weeks).

Example:
WEEK1
Person 1 - Character
Person 2 - Creature
Person 3 - Environment
Person 4 - Industrial Design

WEEK2
Person 1 - Industrial Design
Person 2 - Character
Person 3 - Creature
person 4 - Environment

and so on...


As for the specific topics themselves, say, week 1 character topic is 'body guard' week 2's topic will still be bodyguard, the trick is to take the idea and work off of what was done succesfully, while still adding your own input to the ideation.

Topics for each individual category for the first week will be decided by the entire team that will be working on that concept, and it is meant primarily to challenge, but also intrigue participants.

If anyone has any ideas to add to this I'd be more than happy to rethihnk/add/subtract certain guidelines!

The participants for the first one are listed below, if they do not reply within 7 days of this post I will find someone else to take their spot.

Here's one way we could run this event:

Evolving Universe

1st week: Everyone is assigned character, creature, environment, or industrial design. Its open topic and everyone has creative control with it.

2nd week: Once everyone has seen each other's work, they can begin to incorporate themes and motifs into their pieces. For example, perhaps last week we got a space-pirate character, giant sky-beast, snow environment, and a generic oil tanker. Maybe I am doing a character this week, maybe I pick up the pirate theme and use the sky-beast as a tame living ship, dressing them both for a snowy world. At the same time, the new environment guy does a huge oil-rig-like structure on floating rocks covered in snow and ice.

3rd week: The universe is really starting to build up a storyline so I'm trying to keep everything in mind as I'm doing a creature, maybe I'd like to expand on the oil-rig idea, turn it into a massive industrial world with pipes everywhere, and then design some "native" creature to this artificial environment.

4th week: etc etc
