I'm pretty disappointed with how this finished - I was your 9 and I stand by it proudly :) I found this very interesting in terms of textures and color as well as perfect for the theme.

Yep, I agree with Neat and Roz. No way it deserved the 2 and IMO not the 4's, either. It's really a stunning urban landscape and I'm surprised that it wasn't in the top five, even with the outlier low votes.

Wonderful model. I love this. Gave it a nice score and would have scored higher had her right hand been under the book cover . . . is that silly? No matter. A terrific result and my congratulations on the Blue.

Can I bump this to an 11??

And I thought I went to a lot of trouble for this one. You win, Lydia. And you're right . . . I took the painterly effect for . . . for, well, for a painterly effect and that cost you a point. Soooooo sorry now. but I'd decided somewhere along the line to give highest marks to those who were able to achieve the effect without the aid of . . . shall we say extraneous software.

Congratulations on the HM, anyway, and I just wish it had finished higher.

ETA: I did give this a 9 . . . just not the 11 it deserved.

Skull 1976 Andy Warhol

Under appreciated. Maybe the focus on the skull could have been better, but I found this quite faithful to Warhol's skulls.
