Smaugust 2023 - Day 14: Thumbnailing

SMAUGUST FAQ

What is Smaugust?

Smaugust is a month-long drawing challenge where artists design a different dragon-themed piece of artwork every day for the entire month (Smaug + August). The inspiration for each daily illustration comes from one of many lists of prompts, such as the one I made this year!

Where can I find your list of prompts?

I posted my 2023 Smaugust prompt list on Subjectively’s Youtube Community Page, my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/magik_jack_art/, and in the #smaugust channel of our Discord!

Can I do this challenge too?

Of course you can! These challenges are a great way to hone crucial skills like time management, medium application, and networking! Anyone is welcome to join for as long or as little as they like.

Wait… why aren’t you doing prompts from this list?

This year, I’m doing things a little differently. I WON’T be following a prompt list. Instead, I’m going to work on the SAME PIECE for two hours every day for the entire month. Two hours is the average amount of time I spent on each Smaugust illustration when I was doing a different one every day, but this year I want to practice spending an extended amount of time on one piece.

So you’re not doing any of these dragon prompts this year?

Well, I know how much people enjoy seeing a different dragon every day, so if you guys can help me meet my donation goal for this month I’ll do a bonus dragon illustration! Chat can vote on which dragon they’d like me to draw from the prompt list and I’ll work on it live on stream! If we meet the goal twice, I’ll do another one, and so on and so forth!

What are you drawing, if not dragons from the prompt list?

I want to practice working on a full scene, with characters, action, environments- the whole nine yards. League of Legends character splash arts are a huge inspiration to me as an artist, so I thought doing an homage to that artwork would be appropriate. I’ll be doing another redesign of Shyvana, the Half-Dragon, and creating an exciting piece of splash art to really bring life to my interpretation of her character!

Are you streaming every day in August?

ALMOST every day. I’ll be away from home for a few days right at the beginning of the month, but once I’m back, I’ll be doing every two-hour session right here on stream.

Will there still be Smaugust videos on Subjectively?

There will be ONE Smaugust video in September. I want to make a longer, more comprehensive video explaining my process rather than several shorter videos that condense a lot of the information I want to share. This way, I’ll have more free time during this month to make other videos that aren’t entirely Smaugst-themed (though one of them will be).
