I looove this contest....
Homer Simpson meets Picasso

Picasso had a lot of styles, so I tried to fuse parts of them that I love the most.
These paintings helped me:
[1] [2] [3]

Trying to understand his color schemes, shading, and how he played with shapes was a great experience. ...No matter how good or bad the result is.

I'm hoping for more people to enter this contest.

my guess is that you are the winner....if not i think you are :)

I think you just used too much saturation and shading like on the face is a bit too smooth.

...Win.

This and the Powerpuffs on the Carousel, both are so good.

But I really like this. <3 Speed was one of my childhood faves.

I'm pretty surprised this didn't get first place. It's definitely an original and creative coupling of Speed Racer and Rembrandt! My hat is off to you.

Outsh!

This is my favourite so far.

cmb (Dec 29, 2006)

van Goghs use of complementary colours really helped me along....

Ruggi (Jan 6, 2007)

I like the table and the lamps especially... something about the right kind of stripiness I think?

cmb (Jan 7, 2007)

yes- I tried to copy his brushstrokes... possibly overdid the glow of the lamps...

Another favorite cmb!
I think Renoir would even like this one!

Ruggi (Jan 6, 2007)

She looks so 19th century french! Great job!

cmb (Jan 6, 2007)

I just loved the colours he uses and the way Betty looks up seemed to fit under that hat....

yates (Jan 7, 2007)

I totally agree on the Renoircolors: i recognize them in your draw,.. Good job!

Needed a break, when I come back I'll align her eyes then begin colour and putting the little bits in (Mark Ryden style so lots of fiddly bits, I hope >;P was begining to get worried about what would happen if I crashed it too hehe.) Somehow I'm going to fit the other girls in.
