Egg-cellent Art Challenge!

DMACDMAC Come at me, bro!Moderator mod
edited March 2008 in Artist's Corner

So, we really haven't really had a group challenge thread since the Secret Santas. The idea here is to take a basic egg template and do something creative to "decorate" it.

What I had in mind was something along the lines of what different artists have done with the blank Munny toys:

http://www.kidrobot.com/html/munny3/gallery.html

You can add things onto the egg, give it accessories, give it a background, etc. but I'd like the basic shape of the egg to still be recognizable in each of the finished pieces.

I'd like each of the finished pieces to be saved at the same size: 500 px wide by 600 px high. (You can always post a link to a larger version.)

Here's the egg template in the final 500 x 600 size:

egg.jpg

I also uploaded a larger version of the shape here: http://www.darrencalvert.com/eggLG.jpg

Please use this thread to post any questions as well as your finished work. There's no hard "deadline" here, either Easter or whenever people get bored.

    This is a wonderful idea, and I'll get right on it after I take this exam. In the meantime:

    Done at work with El Budgeto Scanner, a freeware copy of PhotoPlus and a mouse, hence the woeful quality.
    Original drawing in pencil.

    EDIT: The propeller hat is a homage (sort of) to Mork and Mindy, just in case you were wondering.

    BTW I'm a total novice at this, so any advise or self-confidence destroying criticism would be most welcome.....well maybe not the latter.

    Nice work DeeLock, I hate how you folks get lovely straight lines and mine look like they were drawn by a crack addict.......mmmmm crack.

    The challenge is a great idea, hope no-one minds a bit of cut and paste - I couldn't resist this -

    [IMG][/img]2005008437969321894_rs.jpg

    Please forgive me for this, I'm aiming to come up with something of my own - clearly not better than the original of this, but without the cut and paste.

    Certainly wasn't, I completely agree, it was just my stupid sense of humour.


    I'm hoping my next attempt will a) involve some kind of paint, b) meet the brief, and c) be better!

    Blame LewieP for the name!

    Well, I was talking about my post, not Fire Fox's, so I hope he wasn't offended. If so Fire Fox, I'm sorry!

    I will get better at this posting lark soon, at least I can now do quotes and hyperlinks at last, I'm still working on spoilers.
