I cannot this resist this challenge...love the subject and the palette is just stunning! :)

i must find time to enter this one :D ...

Man...there's already been some awesome pieces

ahahahhahaha


okay then i can understand the really obscure challenges now

actually, we just use Mad Libs the eve of a new challenge to determine it.

these contests actually get set in several weeks in advance i think...

This was not inspired by that piece Raytheon, just a coincidence.

fuck you dex :)


i'm pretty sure i stated that i enjoyed the last challenge. and you whine a shitload more than i do!

on another note: was this inspired by the recent 'mspaint default still life fruit' image that recently graced the gallery???

I actually think this is a neat idea... I've always kind of dug the challenges that already give you a pallet to work with. If I find the time, I'll definitely give this one a shot.

I'm also calling it that someone is going to make some mutated monster fruit. :P

Animated Still Life.
Quite a paradox, but I think it to be very funny.

hehe, Yes, it is pretty ironic

Oh, I realize that there are many animation possibilities. I just found it ironic :D

vanitas. Vanitas. VA.NI.TAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSS

lol @ comments.

Also a still life *can* be animated...the objects themselves don't have to be animated. For example, the lighting could change over the peroiod of the animation. Use your imagination people :(

I on one hand like this challenge and might give it a go. As for raytheon, all he ever does on any forum is whine and complain, so don't mind him :D

ok guys, time to show that guy how things must be made to be attractive.

A still life where animation is allowed, eh?  Heehee 

EDIT: just saw this comment was already made!  Teach me to read first ;)

ITT: unimaginative artists whine, blame lack of creativity on something other than themselves

@Stickman: that should be fine, so long as the fruit remains the focal point of the image.

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

jk, i'll do it

you guys don't have to enter, that just makes it easier for other people to win

D:!

This challenge could've shown up a week earlier :(

Yes, it is up to you, the artist, to make the challenge interesting. :)

boring? unfavorable? I would acully say that this is one of the most intersting challangesthat I have seen yet!

I find a challange with strict restrictions in the rules, as the mundane subjectmatter and the colour restriction this time, and then try and make it interesting is the hole charm with challanges! Whats the point if its to open or go hand in hand with work you can do without having a challange for it?
It feels like alot of pepole have a hard time thinking outside the box if they complain about a challange like this :/

If you se what you only want to se, why even participate?

Haha, does anyone else see the irony in animations being allowed in a still life challenge?

well.. if the guy who came up with that is not mentioned then the challenge topic seems to be an idea of the staff..

contrary to the 'pretty boring' guy (if so then your pieces would perfectly fit this challenge) i find this quite an attractice challenge.. interesting that it took like 70 challenge before someone came up with that obvious theme

not sure if i enter though (lack ob time, common excuse =)

52, but between several people, given ideas from challenge winners and the ability to reuse ideas from previous years it shouldnt be too hard

I agree with Opacus Its not that easy to think about 50 challenges a year.I am doing this challenge and I  hope I wont be late for the third time.

I'm sure they have other challenges from winners, and if they were short, i'm sure they could ask someone else to do it.

Then I dare you: Make an interesting challenge each week of the year.
I don't think it's as easy as it seems.

yeah ive noticed that either a) the staff are choosing all the challenges or b) they are just not telling us who made these terrible challenges

pretty boring :(

hmmm an unfavorable challenge...but ok, maybe I'll finish this one.
