Well.. umm.. how about we make it weekly.
so each week a different challenge.
The first three weeks will be the simple challenges, the best artist each week will be selected.
So we'd have three best arts (and artists) of the month.
Next, in the final week, The three compete against each other.
The best art will be decided by poll.
and that guy will get to be the month's champion artist.
Once this is done,
from the next month, the challenge weeks will be the first two.
The third week will be the fight between winner of week 1 vs winner of week 2
In the final week, the Champion of the previous month will defend his title against the new challenger.
.
thats the format in my mind.
Challenge suggestions:
Perspective drawing (Scenery)
Logo designing
Animal drawing (can be a simple rabbit to a tiger in armor to a giant kraken)
Short comic
Clothes designing/fashion stuff
Poses with weapons
picture modification (given picture has to be modified)
Character drawing (any SLO/anime character with an existing image will be given to draw, the artists should keep that image in mind and make a new picture with a different pose for that character)
Descriptive art (A certain scene/ person/ situation will be described, artist has to draw/design/make it)
just my opinion..
can't think of more...
