As do I, but it will need to be a separate event. Most people (including the rest of the volunteer team) didn't want the themed picture that I was asking for - including dress code, albeit a fairly generous one of "themed apparel"(ie; just show up wearing something that looks like what people in this situation might wear) and I didn't want to fight about it. The collab is for the whole community, so I needed to respect their wishes when the majority said they didn't want that obligation/restriction for their submissions.
So what I'm thinking is that next year, I'm going to organise a separate event: The Ponybooru Themed Group-Art (name pending)
That will be my full, uncompromised vision that I had planned for this "ambitious" collab, so everyone will know:
- What they're getting into, should they choose to join in.
- That this will **NOT** replace their regular annual collab picture, but be in addition to it.
I'll figure out in time how many entries that I'll allow people to submit...if there's a low turnout of people wanting to join in, I'll probably say each participant can submit as many entries as they're willing to make/commission for it.
As for the Annual Collab, I don't know if the volunteer team even wants me anymore. But if they do I'll see what contributions I can make, even if I just get us a custom made background each year...albeit it would be a more modest one then my original ambitious view, since I'll be moving those more complex entries to this Themed Group-Art project in future.
