![]() [size=7]Illustration Activity Series B #10[/size] [size=6]Surreal Self[/size] The Challenge: Create surrealist self portrait. Use symbolism to express aspects of your personality. The Due Date: November 30, 2005 EST The Medium and Colors: Full-color. Can be digital or traditional. The Rules: 1) As always, you must post sketch first and get feedback. Let's get everyone involved, even if they aren't entering. 2) Your face doesn't have to appear in the piece, but it can. The Point: To expore visual and cultural symbols. The Examples: Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 The Advice: Look at the greats: Dali, Rene Magritte, Giorgio de Chirico, etc. Observe how they combine unlike or unusual elements to create compelling pieces. Research symbolism. There are a great many books out there on it. Also, dream analysis books and great for this too. But, don't rely too heavily on them. You can (and should) create your own personal symbols. That's how we make it personal. This comp is a full month for 1 piece. As usual, I'm looking for people to really push and revise until they've got it right. Don't expect to hit the mark on the first try and don't get too tried down to one idea or rendering. Be open to critiques and revisions, then use your judgement to combine the best aspects of all into your final piece. The Prize: Here are the full ranks of Bad-Ass Illustrators. You rise to the next rank by winning an additional Illustration Activity. You'll be able to place this in your signature or where ever you like. Click the pencil to see the accompanying certificate. This will be the standard prize from now on. Rank 1 - The Pencil Rank 2 - The Pen Rank 3 - The Brush Rank 4 - The Non-Photo Blue Pencil and the grandaddy of them all... Rank 5 - The Wacom Stylus In addition, the winner will receive 1 free limited edition X-Treme Holiday Super Friends poster of their choice, signed by me. Here's what they'll have to choose from: ![]() And without further ado, the winner of the ![]() [size=7]Illustration Activity Series B #9 Award[/size] [size=6]Monster Mash[/size] and the Pencil goes to [size=7]Juggleballz![/size] See his entry here! Congrats on a wonderful job! I'll PM you with the code for displaying your award. Also, be sure to email me with your address and poster choice. |

Congrats Juggz! Well deserved. Great challenge Humble, there's going to be some very interesting pieces coming out of this. Do the symbols have to be part of your body, or can they be part of the environment? |
