A huge thank you to Harajuku and Mathy for working on Easter Week 2012! These lovely Easter bunny Modi have been working hard to insure the forum was easterific and ready for a week of fun and challenges!
Easter Egg Shape Challenge! One of the things I grew up with as a kid was decorating Easter Eggs, whether it was a real egg at home with mum or a paper one at school because the teachers were afraid of the horrible mess. Dipping things in paint, playing with glue, sparkles and other messy things is always a highlight for me so as part of Easter Week and on behalf of the Modi Team I offer you this challenge. More details on forum.
Our smexy Modi bunnies have hidden 5 chocolate bunny eggs in various places around our forum! 1 lucky member has already found a bunny and claimed their Easter bunny egg award! Will you be the another lucky member? 4 4 more to collect! See forum competition section for more details.
With theme weeks, of the month competitions and new members lurking in the shadows, we have decided to run our second post increasing competition! Like last time your task is to increase your post count before the
30th of April
2012 by 20+ posts. Members can choose where and how they wish to post but posts seen as spam WILL be deleted. Your Reward: A special badge just for those who meet the task (see below) Picking an idea for a theme week*, and optionally work with modi to complete that theme week. 1st 3 to reach 20+ posts will be chosen to judge our 1st Photo of the Month Competition in may. * When the theme week will be run will be dependant on already established theme weeks, but ultimately if it does not clash will be winners choice. Actual size on profile: Hope to see joining the Modi throughout April!
After much deliberation the judges voted, it was a tough call as there were many signatures worthy of winning this months competition. But this month our lucky smexy Lyla was given the honour of taking home our SOTM award as well as the privilege of running the next SOTM, which we hope to have up and running asap. Congratulations Lyla! And a huge thank you to everyone who participated, supported and judged the competitor it was very much appreciated.
CLOSING DATE: 20th OF APRIL 2012 Finally after much a do. artifex.justgoo is proud to present to you very first artifex.justgoo Large Art of the Month Competition! This competition will be run similar to SOTM and its predecessor on AGE (shaiya) forums to rules and structure but we are hoping to develop this as a competition for members to exercise their skills in a fun and friendly competition and have the chance to win some prizes too =) Members are invited to submit pieces based on these month's theme "Me, Myself and I", submissions must meet our Large Art of the month rules and conditions (shown at the bottom of this post). Submissions will then be judged by our panel of judges who this month will be (alilmynx, cuppycake & Pharwynd). The Winner of this month's competition will not only have the pleasure of hosting next month's competition and choosing a theme but will receive a LAOTM Winner Award and be immortalised in our LAOTM Winner Gallery.
Award: Your aim is to create either using a drawing or a photo of yourself a piece of artwork which is a reflection of you or an aspect of your personality/life. (This months theme was selected by the Modi Council, with monthly themes to follow to be chosen by the SOTM Winner.) More Information including rules can be found on our forums!
Last Invited Award. New Award to be designed by miss Mathykins!
You’re Invited too‌ TAKE 2! Earlier this year we invited all our members to join the Modi Team for a couple of hours of random fun on our forums and in our chat room! Because we thought it was just so much smexy fun we have decided to hold a second event, in which members can join us for forum games, catch up and maybe a surprise or two! So join us on the 21st of April 2012 at 9 am PST Time!, and lets see if we cannot raise our online activity even further this time!

After a long absence from Artifex, I have returned! I am so excited to develop the writing section of Artifex! Over the next couple of weeks, I plan to add new challenges as well as several in-depth tutorials. Many of you expressed interest in three types of writing: short stories, role-play/co-op and novel writing. I plan to add some unique challenges for each. In addition, I intend to create some tutorials as well as various other guides with useful information, tips, etc. In the future, I hope to partner with my work in progress, Desdumonae, as well as get you all involved in some exciting writing projects of your own! If any of you are avid writers with projects in progress or in mind, do not hesitate to contact me! I am a writing student and enjoy helping others with writing related projects and maybe you can partner with Artifex to make your dreams come alive! On a final note, if you have any suggestions, questions or comments please contact me! All input is appreciated!
