Hello,
since I haven't got facebook and I know, that there are some people who also haven't got and/or want it,
I thought that it might be a good idea to start a monthly drawing challenge here on the Krita forums.
And here it is:

The first Monthly Drawing Challenge !

This month's topic is:
STRANGERS

The topic changes every month. Every image should be somehow related to the current topic.
It would be nice, if you could also add an explanation, how it is related to the topic, if you think that it is not clear from the image alone.

You can submit your image until the 24th of February, 12:00 UTC, by posting an image as answer in this thread.
For posting images, the same rules as in the Gallery section apply. ( https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=276&t=82966 )

After that, a poll will be created and forum users can vote for the images.
The winner will be the person with the most votes until 28th of February, 12:00 UTC.

The winner will have the privilegue to choose the topic for the next month!

I am looking forward to see your entries.
Have fun drawing!
(And sorry for my excessive use of bold text ;) )

A bit of a formality entry, but I think next time you should post on other areas besides IRC :)

**EDIT**
Because of the low participation, this challenge will be extended until **tuesday the 24th, 12:00 UTC.**
That way people who only have time over the weekend have some extra time and can post their entries,
also the extension until tuesday has been requested

A little suggestion: how about integrating the kickstarter backers into contests or spamming (in a good sense) via twitter? Not everyone views this topic or Krita forums at all (e.g. I didn't notice it)... Say, if David Revoy, Ramon Miranda and a few other fellas would tweet something like 'Hey, guys, new Krita contest every month. Make sure to check it out! link", it would increase the interest. Same as adding this info at the postscriptum section of a Krita kickstarter update. Because we see mostly developing/bugs/features activity around here, but very little creativity. Ah, I just wish some famous entertainment studio promoted Krita =(

Feel free to remove my post if it is out of topic =)

Hey, kde-doozer, you got a good point there.
I basically started this challenge as a test, if people would like to have such a challenge.
I didn't really think about advertising the whole thing anywhere else but on IRC.
For the next month, I'll try to advertise the challenge through some other channels a bit more.
Probably I can get some artists to tweet about this or some people associated with the krita project to put it up somewhere, where it is more prominent.

Hey kamathraghavendra,
I started this challenge because I haven't got facebook, I don't want facebook and I think that this might be the case for some artists, too.
Since the people with facebook have got their own challenge, they are not the group I am primarily targetting with this challenge.
They can still join if they want, but I think it might be a bit unfair if I would grab all the people from that challenge and bring them here. ;)

Count me in for the next challenge! I've been pretty active on the facebook group, but I can't have enough excuses to work with Krita. I'm curious what the next theme is gonna be.
