Sounds decent enough to me. And though for myself #2 wouldn't be an issue. It might be a bit too limiting to start off on. If you want engagement, you have to meet people where they are. Which is often procreate or clip studio paint etc.

Though I 100% like the idea of spotlighting work done with open software. Show people what's out there and what can be done with it.

    I'm a big FOSS user and endorser, partly why I want the software used to be non proprietary. But maybe it can also inspire some to give these applications an honest go.

    Oh 100% same here. I fire up the blender all the time. I've used the software since the mid-90s back when they first started porting it to x86 based platforms. Back when there was the shareware versions. So I am 100% on the same page as you with promoting Etc. I really love these softwares. And would love to see them get more love.

    The main thing I was voicing was that the fediverse is already a small slice of the community. And then further restricting it on top of that is going to make it an even smaller slice of a smaller slice. So I absolutely like the concept of the initiative overall.

    I'm open to change/revise the rules. I mean, it is meant for the community. Guess people can vote on your initial comment if they agree with you and with enough, I'll remove it. Won't negotiate on the "No AI" though. I want to promote/inspire creativity and artistic expression.

    Yes 100% with you on the AI art. Tracing AI derived artwork may as well just be a coloring book competition. The place I see for any sort of compromise would be if the subject matter were digital collage work. But even then I think the less AI the better.
