Up for a “contest” still?

[JODY]

Hi I'm new here and thought I would join in. Hopefully I'm using this forum correctly. And hopefully my morbid art wont scare you all away

@jody Welcome to the forums! Your mouse is cute, even if it is dead.
I really like the way you framed it with the plants.

[JODY]

@miriam Thank you! I really like the improvements that you have made to your drawing.

[Jon Anderson]

@miriam this composition is much more dynamic! I hope you find time to finish it.

[RHirsch]

Great job everyone! I'm afraid the end of the school year sucked my time away like the machine in the Princess Bride, so I won't be able to enter this month. But I love seeing everyone else's work.

[Miriam]

@rhirsch Congratulations on being done with the school year. (Hopefully, you didn't lose more than one year of your life! Ha, ha!)

@fauxtoddgraphy Thanks for starting up our FauxContest!

[artbytra]

@miriam Yeah for sure! Maybe some more votes will come through today, not that the votes are crazy important, just happy to see all the work.

[Jason Bowen]

@fauxtoddgraphy I think you should pick your favorite and send them on an all expenses holiday lol

[Lee White]

new SVS contest is being announced today. : )

[artbytra]

@jason-bowen Wish I could! lol

@jody I really like this piece. It's framed really well and the values work great. Just a thought, but it would be interesting to see how the piece would be interpreted if the outline of the mouse/rat was taken away and you used the plants to silhouette it's shape, kind of like an optical illusion.

Sry just saw the Fake Contest article on Facebook. So here is a quick post:

@gary-wilkinson Thanks fore the complement and for the feedback (I wasn’t sure what kind of reaction I’d get with this group). What a cool idea you suggested. Do you think it would help with my storytelling? A good deal of my work is about life from death ( i.e. rebirth, circle of life). So I was thinking of adding a sequence of images of the animal gradually decomposing and being replaced by more plants.
