DRoss, sourvinos, thanks! It was a fun entry. :slight_smile:

ok we have a winner… lets start the next weekend challange a bit early? :stuck_out_tongue: so we have time to do something huge.

Since it looks like Chicky will hold up I’ll submit a theme early for a WEC opportunity “to do something huge” :eek: To avoid the traditional first five posts asking what the theme means I’ll go with something universal with no figurative meaning.

Next theme:
“Cloth and Clothing”

well done! You nailed it this week, will start thinking I’m not sure having extra time will help me will probably just make me over think it lol!!

eheh, funny, you can say Photox is counting his chickens :wink:

Good one fcharr!


Puuuu! The theme just doesn’t agree with me. Vote for Photox and look at the count. For the win!

You don’t like the new theme ‘clothing’, or the old theme ‘chickens’? There’s one way to ensure you like the theme, win the challenge!

@Photox: LOL, exactly what I was thinking.

themes that don’t agree with you are actually a good thing, and the whole point of the challenge. artists rarely get to do things they like, because it depends on what the client needs done.

@Photox

Its not like, its sort of chemistry… you could say. Say an art style. You make realistic art and find making abstract art confusing or uncomfortable. Or you like using earthly dull colors and find pure concentrated colors hard to work with.

Here, the chicken theme appears for all works, but that is not what I think the theme was supposed to be. If we are allowed to mark the work as not aligning to the theme I would have marked all. I go to the ‘fear’ and ‘dare’, the idiomatic expression but then I find it difficult to form to an image.

I had started working but I find it too complicated and I was not able to finish on time.

I think that’s a fair point, we all went for the easy literal interpretation me included :slight_smile: trying to convey an image showing the feeling I would have struggled with as well. I’m trying for something less literal for this week, we will see how that turns out!

Deciding whether to take the literal approach (a chicken) or the figurative (scared,wimpy) is a choice the artist has to make in these wecs. Last week, we all chickened out! Part of the craft of making a brand new entry is being realistic about your scene, and what you can finish. Always it’s better to do less but do it well. I see a lot of scenes, in general, (not just wec entries), that try to be too much. Usually materials get overlooked, and lighting. I chose clothing so there would be no debate on the meaning. It’s a broad subject that could be pulled into many different concepts.

I’ll get it posted later…
