Several people have expressed an interest in doing more exquisite corpse palettes. I thought that this could become a new sort of challenge. Here are the rules in case you want to start one. They take a bit of time, but they're really fun.

Here is what wikipedia says as a description of an exquisite corpse:
"Exquisite corpse (also known as "exquisite cadaver" or "rotating corpse") is a method by which a collection of words or images are collectively assembled, the result being known as the exquisite corpse or cadavre exquis in French. Each collaborator adds to a composition in sequence, either by following a rule (e.g. "The adjective noun adverb verb the adjective noun") or by being allowed to see the end of what the previous person contributed."
(Oh, and I was wrong - it was the surrealists, not the dadaists)

The person starting the palette is the only one who knows what it will look like before it is presented. Palette originator chooses one colour and sends it to another person. They must wait for that person to get back to them, then send that colour choice to another person. Each contributor will be given the colour that the person before them chose. They must choose a colour to go with that one colour and send that back to the originator in a love note. When the five colours have been gathered the palette is presented with the contributors' names.

Another rule is that the colours must be presented in the order they were received. In an exquisite corpse drawing the new drawing is an extension of what was already made. The palettes have to be done the same.

Palettes should be tagged "EC"

Send a love note to each contributor when you put the palette up, if you are the originator.

There should be a way we can all tell its an exquisite corpse palette, like a vcc had [VCC] in the title, lets put [EC] in the title of each exquisite corpse.

this is the first one:

and despise did the second one, but when i tried to post it here it wouldn't work.

Whenever you start one, post the result here so we can all see it.
Now get out there and start one! I can't wait to see it.

that is the second one.

I've realized that the tag EC just brings up like 3000 pages of palettes. pretty much any with the the ec combo anywhere in it.
I've tagged the 2 current ones with exquisitecorpse (as one word) until I can find something shorter that will work.

I can't wait to see more so get started people!

you know, exquisite corpses actually started as a word game. you could do it using colour titles, too. choose a title that's just one word, and the next person has to choose a colour that's one word also. One rule was to follow this: "The adjective noun adverb verb the adjective noun", so you could have people pick a colour name that is an adjective, noun, etc.

a new one

that came out beautifully! well done, team!

Is there a group for this one?
