Welcome!

Welcome to the TRDL R3 Weekly Jam here on DA!
This is a spin-off from [link]

The particulars:
- The jams are announced each Sunday
- There are Character or Theme Jams
- Subjects are completely open to artist interpretation: do a drawing from canon, or redesign at will!
- All jams REMAIN OPEN INDEFINITELY; you can populate older jams with new work at any time.
- You can submit 3 character or theme subjects to me by email, PM, etc and the suggestions will go in the pot.

The Process:
You can either submit your art to your own gallery and then add it to our group from there, or submit directly to :icontrdl-r3-weeklyjam: but go ahead and just drop the art into the Featured folder. I'll copy it into the Weekly Jam folder in question for you. I will leave a copy in Featured for about a month, and then replenish. SO the art will always be in a Weekly Jam folder, and will be in Featured for the first month, more or less.
Hit me with questions!

And don't forget to offer jam character or theme requests, either to me privately here on DA or on the R3 Forum: [link]

NEW: A spreadsheet of all R3 Challenge threads to date can be found here:

Look for the character you want to add and you may find an existing challenge to use...

This week the subject pulled from the hat is: 'Black-Costume Spider-Man'
I haven't heard back from the contributor of this selection, but I assume this to mean Peter Parker's black suit from Secret Wars, prior to the creation of the VENOM entity. But everything's fair game, from comics to film.

So, question: are JAM submissions always NEW art, created just for the JAM or can it be something old we happen to have that fits the bill?

Rule No. 1 on TRDL R3 Jam: there are no rules!
Wait, that's not correct.
But no, they do not have to be new, and in fact, older works are encouraged. Since this jam started in 2006, the intent was to inspire the participants in their other work, so it can be warm-up sketches, redesign exercises, fresh work, existing work from their archives... all that might inspire the next artist to pull off a cool new illustration. So, I DO encourage the addition of older works as well as new stuff.
All jams remain open indefinitely, so it doesn't have to just be this week's selection. The dA group here shows jam weeks from early January forward, and the previous several year's worth are on R3 as you know.
Hop on in!

Correct! All of our jams are open to interpretation. Even when a character is mentioned, you can always do a redesign or whatever. These are intended to give you, as an artist, an opportunity to be inspired.

And remember, all jams remain open indefinitely. You can produce work for any of them. And the ones here are just through early 2011... head over to the R3 Forum to see jams going back several years, if you can believe it.

I didn't realize there was an earlier Venture Bros. jam. I submitted the Dr. Girlfriend piece I did last week, so if this isn't correct or needs to be moved, please feel free to remove it or relocate it! Still getting the hang of things.

Nah, see, the jam has lived on my TRDL R3 Forum for years and years. I only started the formal dA shadow group in 2011. So anything that predates the 2011 jams, I would throw in the 'OLDER JAMS' folder. But I'm leaving yours in Featured for awhile because it's so damn awesome.
