This AC Challenge should you choose to accept it will be to create a piece of cover art for the title of a book, or magazine, newspaper, or comic book etc. in which you are to interpret the title in a literal sense but keeping with the overall theme of the book.
ie: Three Musketeers - Candybars dressed in musketeers clothing, in defense of the king.
Batman - an actual bat fighting crime, or 1984 about a totalitarian regime in the actual 1980's etc
You don't actually have to design a book cover but you can if you choose to, it can just be artwork as well.
The deadline for this will be April 5th.
For those of you who frequent the conceptart.org forums this should be pretty familiar; tens of artistic combatants thrown together in to an artistic arena, each struggling for the honor of being dubbed a master of the visual arts. Those of you who succeed will be bathed in glory and the blood of their competitors, those of you who fail will be exiled to a life of shame and isolation.
The aim of this thread is to try and spice things up a bit here in the ol' Artist's Corner. This thread is for entries in to the challenge or the discussion thereof. If you'd like to suggest a topic for the weekly challenge, go right ahead, but understand that the last winner of the challenge has total control over the task (unless they have won more than two challenges in a row, see rules).
The rules are simple;
RULES:
* One entry per person, per challenge.
* A contestant cannot win more than two challenges in a row.
* Winner gets the privilege of choosing the next challenge.
* At the end of a challenge, the thread is locked and a new one is begun.
* Stick to the challenge topic; no going off on a tangent.
* All formats welcome, whether they be traditional or digital; 2D or 3D; still or animated.
If you're looking for inspiration, check out the aforementioned conceptart.org forums (specifically the creature/environment/character of the week sections).

Can't be worse than Rank's Moby Dick.
Perhaps, if the aforementioned movie was a book, or maybe if the movie was then made into a book after the movie although I suppose it doesn't really matter where the title comes from though.

Yea... mines... mines not a book, and probably never will be... :oops:
Guess I should have asked that question before hand...
(was hoping 'Literal Literature' was just to have a fun sounding name
Ah well, back to the drawing board. :P

TECHNICALITIES
A crucible is the container you place raw metals in to melt them in preparation of casting. This is the source of the metaphor of a crucible as a place of purification, because only the pure metals survive the fire: all the impurities are literally burned away.
I always thought as a kid that 20,000 leagues under the sea meant Captain Nemo went straight down 20,000 leagues, turns out 20,000 leagues is a return trip to the moon.
your oil coke-bottle has amused me greatly, mustang
Thanks everyone. I was umming and arring about whether the oil-coke bottle was working, I removed and added it back in 3 or 4 times, so I'm glad it was a happening thing for you Mully.
I freaking love this, its well done and it has that 'wheres wally?' visual appeal
EITHER WAY HERE'S THE SKETCH
Mully, you are fabulous.
