Anyone going to need an extension on this? The current deadline is December 4.

I have drawn something... but I wouldn't like to be the first one to show. Yeah.
Roland would have understood.
Well, someone has to be first!

I'm halfway done with mine...I'm trying something a bit different with it, but I think the 4th is still cool for me
Just let me know if any of you need more time - I can give one two week extension, but I have to know before December 4.

I got quite a bit done this afternoon. I'm hoping to be ready to post some time tomorrow afternoon.
I can't wait to see these, and also the first contest for a "thing". I might be able to draw a thing
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
Hmmm. A thing, huh? I kinda sorta have one of those in the works.

Not too sure about this - I did the background as a collage - I liked it IRL, but on the scan it came out a bit weird, so I've mucked about with it on Paint...which is the only program I have...
I purposely wanted Vannay in black and white, because I imagined him to be quite an austere man to look at - his passion only really being alive in his mind (which is supposed to be represented by the background).
that's awesome. i love your idea behind it, as well.
he captures the wisdom and peacefulness behind Vannay's character.
Holy cow! That's awesome, Lisa!
You know we English majors like imagery.

Lisa, this piece of work is awesome. So are you. So... unique and nice. Wow.
Roland would have understood.
Once again....I shouldn't be painting so late. Work will now come way too soon.
Boehmke, thats cool that we both pictured Vannay wearing that mandarin collar style...and in black too
I love your style - do you have a web page, or a devart page?
And thanks for the comments guys I had very definate ideas about how I would portray Vannay the moment I read about him.
Totally stunk the house out, burning all those bits of paper for the background though
I may need an extension. Hopefully, I can be done by tommorrow.
Lisa, I love how you worked the quotes in on there. And the background seems very fitting as well.
Boeh, I like the extras you added for Vannay, the markings on his face. He has a red alcoholic's nose too. Sweet.
A true firewasp ninja would never wear such a ridiculous sweater.
There's logic in nonsense.
Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.
Both pictures are stunning. Just an absolute WOW!
That's a cool pic, boehmke. Not at all what I expected!
Grillslinger, if you need more time just PM me. I can add on another two weeks.

I know he is too mild... and things like that but... that's it. Forgive me.
I know we have never read that he song to his students... but...
Sometimes words are not enough... sometimes you need a song to teach.
Roland would have understood.
