"In Which the Pixel Artist Umbohr Creates a Self Portrait Which Partakes in and is, in a Sense Created by, the Great Chain of Other Artists, both Greater and Lesser, who have Worked to Expand and Elevate the Discipline."

My entry for the "Selfportrait of Umbohr made by somone else than Umbohr"weekly challenge. Contains images of a number of other artists (at least some of whom were an influence on Umbohr) based to a greater or lesser extent on their self-portraits. Included are Boldini, Bastien-Lepage, Freud, Vigee Le Brun, Romani, Van Gogh, Sargent, Munch,  Rembrandt and, of course, a toucan.

@Flinigan I think the Pixeljoint sphere was actually hby's entry.

@hby thanks!

this is hilarious, great idea and execution as well! I reckon the second week of March should be Umbohr appreciation week in the Pixeljoint sphere!

@Theoden Thanks! I feel like I'm a drawn to bright colours but when I do use a more muted palette I like what I get out of it.

This is simply amazing. The composition, colors and the style are all excellent :)
I love it.

@Umbohr Oh! I'm really glad you like it that much! The Juana Romani portrait was fun to sketch in at the last minute! Fortunately it's mostly shadow! She's a really interesting artist. Thanks for introducing me to her work. You pick some interesting artists for your pixelart studies.

@Zorreta Thank you very much!

@rogue_frog too early to call it...


user
amberMechanic (Level 5 Harbor Seal) @ 3/15/2024 12:30

@Wayuki yes it's a solution and it gives me an opportunity to do a few goes at studying paintings by old dead artists, which is one of my favorite things to do.

Umbohr (Level 7 Merfolk) @ 3/15/2024 09:02

I Love it, no doubt this will be hanged on a wall very soon if you don't mind

I love everything about this but you know, the way you did Juana Romani is particularly inspired i find! Very great job and thank you so much (thank you because it feels like it's a gift somehow  )


user
Zorreta (Level 4 Peony) @ 3/15/2024 00:08

this is brilliant!

Aaaaaaaaahhhh you win


user
Wayuki (Level 10 Unobtainium) @ 3/14/2024 17:28

Haha, very clever idea! You even solved the problem that an image can't really be a SELFportrait of Umbohr if it wasn't made by Umbohr.

@gawrone So far this year I've been kinda art blocked in my regular pixel art to be honest. The challenges have sure helped fill in the gaps to keep me doing a little bit once a week. I really liked this one too...


user

To make such a masterpiece in a casual weekly challenge...
