lol Azn offered, too.
You guys are very sweet.

I am actually wondering if I should bother, or just try to work on making an avi for this round. But I could still change back to it on actual St. Patty's Day. 8'D

lol, I definately recall trying to please the judges too much once. It sometimes hurts because all the judges think differently.

To answer your question though windy, I felt they where too balanced. There where a few entries where the extra items didn't seem to fit too well.

When IS StPaddy's day? o-o;;

I don't have any good green items, so there goes my Greenday Outfit. xD

@Iro: Yea, I think I'll just go with what I like. But my interpretations of the challenge are always pretty...off. D: I tried some outfits on my own with other cycles' challenges, and the avis I made didn't match the contestants' avis. xD;

EDIT: @Cora: Ohkay. :]

Thanks!

St. Patties is this wensday.

And THIS is the joy of Project Mene! :XD Because yes, everyone judges totally differently! I really noticed this when I was a judge myself, as some people liked avatars that I really didn't and vice versa. I don't think you should make an avatar to please the judges, but to please yourself. :D

When I was in the Going Green cycle, I always just went with my gut and I rarely posted WIPs in the thread. :lol: I just did my best and saw how things went... XP Worked out well for me.

I need to pick paintings and at least try something
I wanted to do Starry Night by Van Gogh, but I dont think he'd accept that, and I hadn't decided how to do it right. lol Might still try for gits and shiggles, though.

@ Iro - Haha. Thanks, Iro. I'll keep it in mind. o3o
And the same goes for you.

Starry night would be interesting

It'd be hard with our items though. D:
We only have so many items in those colors. x-x

yeah....very few actually. It would be murder trying to represent starry night.

It could be fun to try, and wouldn't necessarily have to be completely accurate on the color shades.

lol Just found a picture of someone that painted Starry Night on the side of their Arabian horse.

o.0 poor horse.

I'm not so sure about the theme of this one. :x

I interpreted it as that I was able to represent an artist's body of work rather than a single piece and Iro's not so sure. ::was chatting with her off-site::

SO...... Currently I am representing Leonardo da Vinci's body of work.
My avatar is the Mona Lisa wearing Jesus's robes from The Last Supper. She holds a hammer to represent da Vinci's interest in building things, the mechanical headwings in representation of his flying machines, and a pouch slung around her for da Vinci's need to travel for his work.

Is this fitting with the challenge, or do I need to represent one work only? :x ::if so, totally claims The Last Supper, dangit:: >:B

Any suggestions for this avatar?

I would take that, but you might want to ask seiki. I think its a different way of interpreting the challenge.

It does state but I am not sure how seiki would feel about encompasing the artist as a whole.

Yeah, I think you have to do a specific painting

I'll wait to hear back from Seiki. :3

Though any other suggestions for this particular avatar are still welcome.

I wouldn't quite know
I myself still have no idea what to do, really

@CK: I think it's a cool idea, but it's a little plain looking and I'm not really a fan of the paw bag (whatever that's called). :sweat:

I'd be really interested to see what you would do for The Last Supper though. :) But I'm no judge, so don't mind me, lol.

A lot of people seem to be just role playing a figure in one of the paintings. While that can certainly be cool, I think it's possible to be more creative with the challenge.

It depends on what you choose as artwork, I think.

The painting I'm going to use is a portrait will basically three dominating colors, and the contrast of dark and light as characteristic of the gothic style during the Renaissance. I'll be creating an avatar that includes the three main colors, as well as attempt to paint a somber, regal tone.

But if you're doing something like...Venus or paintings that 10+ people, it's eaiser to just pick someone to portray, cause there are too many colors invovled.

That's just my take though.

So just a question, we are allowed to use more then 1 piece as a reference?
