Ideas for FEB/MAR Challenge

Post by Servotron »

I've been super busy at work lately, plus visiting friends, so it's completely slipped my mind to set up an ideas thread for next months challenge. Post your ideas for a challenge, stitch-a-long etc here. We may set up a poll again or I might just ask johloh to pick one as we are running on a shorter time frame than normal. The poll for the current challenge will be up Mon/Sun and will run for a week.

My ideas are:

Girl Power - female video game icons
The Secret Lives of... - character's alter egos
Caught in the act - characters doing things you wouldn't expect
Alternative "Home Sweet Home" - using characters/scenes to play on this classic cross stitch idea/slogan
The 7 Deadly Sins - representing wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, or gluttony.

me too. I haven't been keeping up with stuff either. its ok though...

I think its ok if the feb challenge starts a bit late...we can take ideas for a few days, and set up a poll...we can make it a quick poll, 48hours should be enough I think. the challenge will only end up being shortened by a day or so...

I have an idea ... nope it's gone again. ... ... ... Aha! I've got it! Since i'm not a girl how about a contest/Challenge. Ok, so here is how it goes; Girls do girl power, and boys do ... boy power. And then If the winner is a girl power project, they get to brag about it, and the same for boys.
:grin:

A beat em up versus screen featuring unlikely or comedy battles...for example Sonic VS Heather from Silent Hill 3 (thanks to my sis for that pairing!) or whatever.

That or the Girl Power!! :D

Even though I don't get into these, I like seeing others' work, so I support Blackmageheart's versus screen idea.

(...I'm thinking Pyramid Head vs. Companion Cube!)

I have to agree with several of the ideas... :P
Love the idea of the VS screen, that could be so cool XD Samus v... Pikachu =P
That and stephamiem's idea of "The Secret Lives of..." could be cool, same for "The 7 Deadly Sins" idea ^^

I really like the "Girl Power" idea. Seems like there are never enough female characters in most games.

Since I've been seeing a lot of them on the boards lately, my challenge suggestion would be Bookmarks. There would have to be some decision made on how big a bookmark is, but I think it would be interesting to see the different variations people come up with for such a small project.
