This is splendid. I love LOVE it! Consider me in for 2 at the least! Well done!

I agree, this is awesome on so many levels. GMV and I'm in for 2 when it prints!

Impressive work, Anemality. I totally love the color scheme and the organic robot you've build

For the moment, this is my favorite the colors are great, the textures are fantastic. As Radscoolian said, there's so much here to learn :D

This is great :D The textures are so well done, and it looks so great on the green tee. Maybe Ramyb's Lucky at Last is too recent. I wonder what would happen if both are for sale at the same time!

Re: Can-Can

I think it's meant to be his take on Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's can-can girls:

http://frenchalacarteblog.wordpress.com/tag/henri-de-toulouse-lautrec/

Which, to my knowledge, is Art Nouveau. He was listed on the list that Woot gave, at least. Maybe I'm wrong-- this style of art isn't my thing and I doubt I'll grab anything this derby. The style may not be blatant Art Nouveau, but the subject and inspiration seem to be, especially considering the ones he posted over on facebook.

I initially voted for the cupcake on yellow there (bottom left on facebook), but after doing a little digging, I think the top left would've been a little more obviously in line with the theme, as the border makes this a much clearer tie to the "Jane Avril" piece.

That being said, I do generally agree with this:

I think the point of this derby (and many other woot derbies) is to get artists out of their comfort zone to draw something difficult or different

However, IMHO, voters should also be encouraged to verse themselves in the subject as well before denouncing entries with "this isn't art nouveau". It's happened on other entries, too.

Radscoolian ftw!

I haven't had a problem yet so I'll keep on doing it. I know people use it as wallpaper sometimes so it's nice to offer it for every design.

Thanks guys!

Re: Summertime

Well, Art Nouveau is not just "Mucha Style" and shapes and thick strokes. In fact, you can find a variety of styles inside the "Art Nouveau trend, including watercolor (and pastel) paintings, specially in russian artists, that are very far from the "typical" Nouveau style.

Re: Velociraptor with a Ray Gun

cheers arcade-art!

Re: Velociraptor with a Ray Gun

I will be very disappointed if I don't get to wear this, like, yesterday.

:^)

Re: Velociraptor with a Ray Gun

Thanks SG! It's the first time I've ever tried to work in the "art noveau" style. It was fun. :^)

Re: Iris Nouveau

Love this, it's really beautiful! Good job.

Re: In Darkness

Of course this would be your art, no wonder I love it! Good luck, it's awesome.

Other birds. Maybe they tried to get to the birdbath ahead of cute little chirpy there.

anemality wrote:Nice serene design in neutral colors. I like it!

Thanks. I'm a big fan of yours too. The teal light spots really help make it pop.

Thanks cephy for being a long time supporter. I really want to see some of your work in the derbies soon.

Re: Night Nouveau

It reminds me a little too much of shirts that you'd buy in a gift shop in Florida... I think the Art Nouveau elements could be played up more.

Thanks Caladria. The little wife and I are planning to "install" a dogwood into the back yard this year because we were so impressed with that part of the Arboretum. And there are many stories and meanings behind the dogwood.

Thanks. I knew there was a reason why I liked Missouri ;-)

Thanks so much. So.... did you head over to the reckoning and buy something? Just curious since you mentioned in the last derby that you couldn't vote yet.

Re: art nouveau city gardener

[Gorgeous!]

Re: Perils of Space

NEED.

hahaha you've got a crazy mind! Love it! +1

Re: Pegasus Dawn

*brohoofs*
But sadly, this is pop culture.

Re: Cat Nouveau

Beautiful black cat. Excellent execution of the art nouveau style. I hope this one makes the top 3 because I really want to own it (a rare thing for cat designs).

Re: Papilio Nouveau

Simple, but elegant design.

Re: Apocalyista Nouveau

I love Drakxxx's line work, nice pair up, the color is flawless.

Re: Art Nouveau Rising Sun

Re: the human tear

this needs to get into the fog because i want this!!!!

ramyb wrote:saved

Seems to not have been saved. What happened?

Re: Art Nouveau Rising Sun

I think I'd have trouble wearing this because the placement puts it in prime territory for my boobs to nom the image, but it's very pretty work.

Well done!

Re: Apocalyista Nouveau

I hope you guys win. I want a new Drakxxx/Crescent shirt. It's been a while.

aerc712 wrote:Beautiful. It's detailed, but also has a nice, simple feel to it. (And I mean "simple" in the best possible way, just can't think of a better way to describe it.) Even the off-center placement works. Wonderful job, I hope more people take notice and vote!

Thank you! This was the third shirt I did for this derby, and the one I'm happiest with. If it doesn't make it to the top (which seems probable), I might just print this one myself.

This design is really pretty. I'm not sure about the shirt color, but I like it anyway!

Re: Another lost -Carolina Parakeet

Fantastic. I will be sending out an email to several people I know just for them to register and vote. Parrot enthusiasts and bird owners would LOVE this. I really like the whole thing.

Birdmanjeff

I want a birdsword. :O

Love the design.

Re: Cat Nouveau

i need this shirt. nice that it's not a cartoon cat for once either. (not that i dislike them, it's just nice to have something different)
