   Now that I'm FINALLY done with dealing with school for now, I'll join this.  I was thinking drawing the first Mac ever released and animating some phrases coming on the screen.  Then, below that, the newest Macbook with "RIP Steve Jobs" appearing on the screen.  I'm not so sure how smooth I can make the fading text since messing with the opacity will make colors not on the palette, but I'll do my best.

	Actually, I'll do the landscape and put the computers next to each other. That would look a lot better. And I don't even know what that is :P

	*Originally posted by luizfelipespr* I finished! It only remains for me the BG that will be more complicated. Help me! I was thinking. The dimensions for an ipad are 9.56 x 7.47 in. I asked mspaint and it said that is about 914 x 717 pixels. So the hieght is roughly 1.27 times larger than the width. Your ipad is 109x130 pixels. To get the dimensions correct, you should use 102 x 130 or 109 x 138. I'll leave the bezel width as an excercise.

	I finished the line art to the first Mac. Give me any feedback as to how the general outline of it can be better. I'm doing the line art first since I'm so unfamiliar with drawing computers in general. I moved the sides and top one pixel out so the indent to the screen would come out more.

	*Originally posted by surt* JeffPNO: Make it more clearly apple-shaped so it is unambiguous that it represents the appleocalypse. That's actually a good idea... Hmm.. Edited by JeffPNO - 15 October 2011 at 8:43am

	Surt had a great idea, which would definitely make it more interesting. Beyond that, I would say... - Maybe create more of a background? Right now it's very flat, with a foreground and a background. - The asteroid is very dark. It looks like it's supposed to be casting a strong light against the cloud and ground, but that doesn't seem possible since it's just brown and dark purple. - Use more colours to give the dinosaur and the ground more depth. It's a limited palette, but I don't think you've used its full potential yet. Look at some of the other work in this thread, and don't be afraid to experiment with colors like others have.

	Yeah, I agree. I'm actually experimenting with Surt's suggestion right now. And thank you for the suggestions. I was thinking about making some sort of background, but haven't gotten around to it yet. As for the meteor, I played with different colours for quite a while, but nothing seemed to look right. The orange/brown & Purple was the best looking, to me.

	I'm not generally a fan of abstract art, but you should be pleased with creating something unique. I think this is something a lot of artists on here would appreciate. This reminds me of one of my favourite artists, Wayne Barlowe, who is known for his creative designs. Like you, he tends not to plan out things in detail from the start, and just lets his "brushes do the thinking".

	Wow, so it's already 25 hours before the deadline, and I only have the line art for one computer done because I've been so damn busy. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to gut this down to something a little bit more simple. I guess a good background and a few meaningful things about Jobs with the fading text and whatnot.

	you need to use the palette provided for the challenge. using references? the penguin should have a much smaller beak and head, and lower eyes. looks kinda like a dinosaur atm. make sure to use a reference on the toilet as well the rim should be much narrower, more of an oval than a wide circle. also seems you haven't decided how the tank of the toilet will connect to the bowl. @mdog: show don't tell Edited by cure - 16 October 2011 at 3:27pm
