Update: April 2008WE OFFICIALLY HAVE 100 MEMBERS, AND OUR FIRST COMPLETED SET. PLEASE CHECK OUT :iconvampirckitten:'s BEAUTIFUL DESIGNS HERE. [link] CONGRATS, SWEETIE. WE'RE ALL PROUD OF YOU.

Update: February 2008: Yes, it's still all right to enter. There is no end date to this challenge.

Okay, *AngieChild--creator of the 100 themes challenge--had a small list of 10 clothing themes to accomplish. Now I personally have always been a fan of dressing my characters, so I decided to make this into a challenge! And I'm challenging YOU. Copy and paste this if you want, or link back here, but I want me and ESPECIALLY *AngieChild to get credit. So!

For all you draw-ers, I would personally suggest ONE(1) character to do these, or repeat using just one character. You'll get better at drawing the character, get better at doing repetitive character drawing, and have a zillion outfits ready if you want to manga them! or do a couple/male female. But its not a rule, just a suggestion. I might not even do that.

As a note, the styles are listed so that they increase in difficulty and specifications, but end back at the start. The goal is for you to be able to really master a character (or several) through drawing them in clothing and getting a hold on clothing itself. Plus, if you use the same character in order, you get to see how much they changed and how much you changed as an artist. I’ve tried to give the styles enough flexibility so that those of you using male characters don’t have to make them gay (though that’s perfectly fine. But putting lace on a guy is hard to make not gay).

Several people have asked me if I plan to extend the list to 50, 75, or 100 themes. At the moment, no, simply because I wanted a bite-size, user friendly amount that doesn't intimidate new or busy artists (we all hopefully have lives other than these 25 themes). However, once a good chunk of people (10-20) have completed this list, I will consider revising it to include more themes. At that time, I will gladly take suggestions for such themes.

Rules:
1. Drawings must be yours! No stealing! Collabs are okay.
2. It’d be really great if these were all new, but old drawings are okay.
3. They can be doodles to finished pieces, but the more work you put in, the more you get out of it.
4. Oh yeah, photography allowed too. All you photographers need a break ^.~ and photo is fun! anthro, fanart, realism, etc. are all allowed. Anything you can apply fashion too is okay, really.
5. Give me a link to where you’re keeping track if you’re doing this so I can show everybody how far you are! Edit: For new joinees, instead of a journal, please make a category in your gallery for the FDC and link me to that gallery instead. 9If you still want to do a journal though, that's okay too)
6. Um, I don't think there'll be prizes or anything, just for fun, but the first person to do them all can request a drawing if they want.
7. FAQ: Yes, these pictures may be doubled with the 100-theme challenge (i.e. pirate outfit with the 'Dark' theme). I personally don't mind! this is for your own enjoyment.
8: FAQ: If you decide to do 2 (or more) charcters, it is perfectly alright to alternate the themes. I.E. character one, Apple, for odd themes and character two, Bannana, for even themes.

So without further ado, here they are! (Format borrowed from *AngieChild)
