Derby #315: Inspired by Van Gogh


anyway, all you negative nancies, I did this for the comp

Title: Scarecrogh

Would a tiger be considered a “cat” as far as the rules go? :slight_smile:

Pretty rad man- love the harvesty look… man, that time is coming isn’t it. :slight_smile:

Really really nice. Also, half of my 18 prints here have been original with no pop culture refs so yes original ideas do print, I agree with you.

Also I finally got my black Woot square last night so everyone has to agree with me because as it says I’m now better then everyone else :slight_smile:

This is really lovely.

While this isn’t in the style of Van Gogh, here is the concept I came up with for this week. I’m still working on it, but does it read ok so far?

Yup, though you may want to check, it seems like I’ve seen something similar to that before.

Also what shirt color is this because it doesn’t look like any Woot offers. Really important to check that so it doesn’t get rejected.

I mean, I think you could probably claim to be better than all of us for a while. Also, thanks for the feedback :slight_smile:

It’s their red shirt, it’s on the artist page.

Thank you :slight_smile:

My next question then is does it look red on your screen because on mine it looks burnt orange red (mines calibrated too). When doing red shirts I color sample off the red shirt in the AI file and it gives a much redder tone then what yours looks like. Just wondering.

Been working on this for a good bit of the night, still needs more work, but what do you guys think so far? Hoping it doesn’t get banned, given that it’s not a processed photo or a trace. Anyway, feedback appreciated!

I’m not getting the ref but if it’s a celeb likeness it will get banned photo or not.

Here’s what I’ve got.

I color sampled the available swatch that’s the same in their template file. Maybe it’s the save for web option, but it looks exactly like their red shirt (in real life) on my screen, no orange

You are likely fine, as I don’t know if woot counts authors as celebrities… I did this one ages ago (don’t laugh it was my second derby) and it wasn’t rejected. Like the tentacle brushstrokes. :slight_smile:
