oh NO! real ART? ... imma out!

I am up for some Pre-Historic Pointillistic Crosshatched Nouveau Art Deco Watercolor Graffiti.

Also, open ended themes like this make my brain hurt.

Please let us know in the detail or comments what style you're using. Also, the rules from the derby you're choosing apply now. So if a line had to be a certain width or Mario was not allowed, it still applies to your design.

Any chance we can get some link-magic to the past derbies you're referencing, since we have to follow those rules too?

Also - if that derby says "no text", but the derby above says text is allowed, which is the rule?

prolly whichever is more restrictive.

edit: nm.

Interesting.

HA! Curmudgeon burned!

Agreed, this could be quite interesting. I'm not sure what style to do...

GET OFFA MY LAWN

I love me some Mid Century animation! However the word DESIGN seems to be emphasized and I'm not sure what that means? Anyone care to elaborate or can I get a link to that derby to see examples?

Too many styles... brain can't handle making choices.... aiiiiiiiiiii....

BOOM!

(thanks Woot, you just imploded my amygdala).

Yeah... a link to the past derbies would be really nice to ensure we don't waste our time doing something wrong.

I found the mid century design derby link. Here it is if anyone else needs it...

No resubs huh?

Can I enter a design with heavy changes from one of those past derbies?

EDIT: Or an entry from a recent derby with changes made to fall into one of the art styles? such as this entry modified to fall into the art nouveau derby.

A collaboration with Kevin. We're both big street food fans, and thought this was funny.

At least you've got chicken. Love it.

i think as long as you rework an entry so it's not just a direct resub, it orta b ok.

also ... woot posts rules, but i didn't notice a lot of rejections in the just-ended caffeine derby. just sayin'.

so this topic is kind of confusing.. ive never participated in the past derbies of the same nature. so it can be anything in terms of subject? like anything at all? as long as we use one of the styles provided?

yes, except for the other restrictions in the rules (like no pop culture riffs, meaning specific movies/tv shows/video games are out)

Nox and I are working on a few things for this week!

Line art (sketched below) and a prehistoric art entry too! This is going to be fun!

Hoping for some wonderful pointillism designs. Seems like a natural.

:D
Onerous Massive Family Gathering THIS IS GOING TO BE AWESOME!!!

Maybe change it to Street Meat? Seems funnier and maybe dirtier to me.

Entering a psychedelia design!

I decided to deviate a little from the 70's-inspired hippy-dippy version of psychedelia and go for a more modern rave-inspired flavor.

I'm not destined for the rejectionator for updating the concept, am I? The design is definitely still BRIGHTLY colored, heavily patterned, and, dare I say it, rather psychotropic.

Where can we go find rules for the past derbies?

OK, here's what I'm working on. Has this idea been done before? It's way unfinished, but I wanted to float it and see what you all think.

Links to the rules are posted in this thread.

I dig the idea, as it always becomes a quest (or most often a speedrun)...
...and I haven't seen anything like it...

Not sure I love the guys eyes though... almost make me think of an alien.

Like the achievement idea too.

Thanks, OS. Is it the lines under his eyes, or the angle of the pupils that bugs you?

Sorry- shoulda been more specific.
I think it's the lines, - simply removing them may make it cleaner and less- alien.

I didn't have time to work up a sketch last night. Instead, I used a components of an old design. Changed it a quite a bit and converted it two 2 colors. I thought the art worked well as a woodblock styled piece. Thoughts?

I hope I'll have time to work on another sub today or tomorrow.

So dreamy! If woot sold onesies I would want this for muh babe. Then again... I would likely buy anything that looks like a woodcut...

I have a good feeling about this one!

Are these submission ready?

I'm at work now and can't really do any more work on them until Sunday or so, so I am subbing these today at noon or won't be able to for a while...

Thoughts? I have two-

This one is a watercolor I scanned in and halftoned... still has the watercolor look I think.
Thinking of calling it "Dreams of the Hunt"



and this one is going for pulp comic style!

Calling it Transmogrification Rex!
