Here's my WIP. I don't think I've quite got all the colours in yet, and the background obviously needs a lot of work at the moment.

Very scribbly WIP. Tablecloth, two pears and some cherries.
-- @Zaph: Nice work so far, I like the bowl. Not sure about the dither on the fence though |

The challege is to use those 14 colors and only those 14 colors. *The 15th color (transparency) is the only loophole. ------------- |

@Phrozen : Awesome, the cherries are great and the colors are wonderfully used. :D @Zaph : The perspective is great, but I wouldn't recommend dithering on the bowl. And mine of course!  -------------

@Doom: I like 1 better... @Phrozen: your WIP gives me imaginary boners :9. Only they're real. Anyway...  since I had already done a still life with those "classical" fruits (eg. lemons, apples, etc), I decided to bend the subjects a lil': those are all brazilian fruits (starting from down-right and going clockwise): jackfruit, cashews, guava, graviola, umbu, açaí and a pinha (sorta like pine) on the plate. I tought that since the fruits were already odd enough, I'd stick to uncreative/vanilla color choices, but now that I see those WIPs I think that maybe this wasn't a smart move at all... Anyway, I'm sorta of pleased with how it looks now but I want to explore deeper, C+C? The background is a place holder right now, ideas for it are quite welcome. And I'm not sure I'll have the willpower to properly texture http://www.foodreference.com/Jack_Fruit_1_B.JPG - this . |

@Igor K.:I think you should make the bottom of the vase and that other thing more round and I would suggest adding some fruit
btw when I saw all these WIPs I decided to quit mine would look bad and I have other stuff to pixel... |

So many great WIPs, this week will be hard to vote for. *I'm really impressed by member_profile.asp?PF=13268&FID=1 - Phrozen 's piece, looks different than all the others even tho the same colors, I likes eet a lot. Although the frame corners are questionable. ------------- |
