Oh, this is terribly neat!! n_n It's a great idea, especially for a newbie like me to possibly get some recognition. (Eheh, I hope?)

Not sure on who or what I'll do, but it certainly'll be fun. I'll go on and start tomorrow after some research tonight. Probablly DaVinci or Michaelangelo since they're the ones I know the most about. n_n

This sounds like a cool idea. I'll try to get myself a round tuit.

Oh, a question, Spriteville: How strict is your limit at the lower bound? Will mediaeval artists be acceptable, or does it have to be Renaissance? Rules lawyer, who? me?

I'm thinking for this specific event that just the Renaissance should go in. But all truth be told you could probably sneak it in an art ingorants such as myself wouldn't know. (But there are some informed people here you'd have to slip it by =])

I'll be doing other contests over time so if this isn't you're cup of tea I'm sure something will pop up.

(Although personally I'd love to fully open the art periods (cause I hate saying no), but this makes for a more specific competition.)

Uh, so in answer, just the Rennaisance for this competition.

OK, cool. So I won't be tying myself in knots trying to do Celtic or Norse zoomorphic twisty-beasties then.

Spriteville, let me specify: In subject you said rennaisance, in text, classic.
Are we to do only rennaisance art? Or can I pull 19 or 20 century? Can I do Van Gogh or Picasso instead?

Sorry, I forgot to edit my first post. It has been made clear, thank you for bringing that up Duffies. =]

So for this specific competiton Rennaisance only.

It's tempting, really tempting... I think I'll try.

This is the coolest contest I've seen yet. Finally, something that renders my BA in Art History somewhat handy!

I hope I have time to do this- it sounds like a lot of fun.

If we call it quits now, I might actually win!

Hey count me in, I'll see if I can work it into the storyline of my new strip.

If I can find the time to knock out a version of this, you bet your arse I'm in.

Spriteville, USA · Post by **Spriteville, USA** » Wed Mar 23, 2005 4:55 pm

And recieved, thank you Starline.

UPDATE:
I forgot some info.

Submission: PM me your picture and a link (or picture) to the original piece you copied from. I'll set up either a big long post, or a seperate web page (which is cleaner) for all submissions.

If you are doing a "period" piece. (A picture that is not a copy but an emulation of the Renaissance style), just indicate that.

McDuffies · Post by **McDuffies** » Wed Mar 23, 2005 6:01 pm

Damn. I'm weak on rennaisance. And I don't have a scanner handy.

This is a great idea for a contest; thank you, Spriteville, for thinking of it and doing all the work!

My submission has been sent in.

This does sound awesome. It seems like most people are doing their own versions of existing renaissance works rather than new ones in the styles of renaissance artists, which I think means the end results will tend to look better
