Larry, will Xara applications be around in 30,000 years? :-O
Acorn
Certainly hope so! I'm planning on living forever - although I don't know how I'm going to achieve that feat yet!
I've deleted the original artwork.
Which was merely a poster about the film Where Eagles Dare.
It seems that my poster and many others which already exist, may be Anti-Semitic.
That's not what I am about and that's not what the TG forum is about.
So, on advice, I've broken up the swastika.
Hopefully, now all that will be seen is my artwork, and not anything else.
In the film, the British forces mount a successful mission against the Germans, and it's a great film.
Not sure I have Rik, I will see if I can get it and watch it. Sorry for my comment about the swastika, I looked at post 6 but somehow either I didn't read it or it didn't register with me, the latter is most likely but either one is possible.
I had started on a scribble for last month, I'll try and finish it and post it later.
A beetle (just in case you didn't get it!) :D

A bit more detail (belt and braces!) ;)

Another one from me.
Thanks Jonopen and Rik thy look great! I really like both. the beetle and the bulb. Well done both of you.
A tribute to a TG member, who was loved by everyone.
Great one Rik. Thanks.
Fantastic Rik. Like Jono, it took me a while to find the scribble. Nice tribute to Bill.
Thanks very much guys.
Yes, the scribble is in there and it was a bit tricky. However, I was determined to get it in there.
As for Bill Taylor. What a gentleman he was.
I still get a bit choked up (and I'm not being funny about it) when I think about this.
I drew his Avatar and sent it to him, in case he wanted to use it.
He changed it to my drawing immediately and never ever changed it for anything else.
Great scribbles! Late on parade this month. An odd looking frog!
Odd maybe but I really like it Egg. Thanks.
Cheers Larry, it looks more like a mutant ninja turtle, but I had to stick to the scribble shape :)
Thanks, Larry. This is all blended scribble.....
Egg, hope you don't mind the quick mod!

Another one from me.
That looks a bit cloudy Rik. Good job. Thanks.
Jon, I don't mind at all. Love the mouth alteration too.
I did start with the Wizard's line but ended up with something quite different. The Xara jpg export was post-processed in Fotosketcher for a watercolour effect...

Rules, rules, rules... unstated rules aren't really rules when the intent (again unstated) appears to be to have some creative fun. :D
Indeed, my uploaded images do not show the complete line. It does show more than 75% of the line repeated hundreds of times. The image was created by doing a 25-step blend between two copies of the provided line followed by another 25-step blend between two copies of the original blend. Then with lots of manipulation I ended up with a cropped subsection of the what had started as the second blend of blends. It was in that cropping that the lines reduced to about 75% of the original profile, reduced the extraneous repetition, and made the complexity more manageable. A copy of the cropped area was subsequently converted to shapes and the group of them further manipulated and layered with transparency effects & shadows, feathering, mirrors & flips of copies, etc., etc., for a few hours of "see where it leads" -likely unrepeatable- freeform fun.
There were times when it seemed the computer was going to crash. Living life on the edge -- with no rules! :-O
Well, Ross.
There are some rules.
And in the case of the Scribble Challenge, the main rule is that you have to have the complete scribble in your drawing.
It's about creating something, using the entire scribble.
So, whilst your entry is, indeed, very creative, and we want everyone to participate, I can't say that it's in the spirit of the challenge.
Rik - if you look you'll see there were no rules identified at the start of this challenge. You seem to assume any participants should be familiar with some distant past challenge where some 'rule' may have been stated. Is it another rule here that you can't participate unless you've read all past threads going back to year 2002?
I think you should forget such rules and just be happy that members participate.
By the way the image I posted used only the line provided. No other lines were drawn.
I agree with Rik. I thought everyone understood that the entire scribble line is to be used and the rules do not need to be posted every time. You may change the line weight, add to the line but that is all.
the line result can show as positive or negative space, I did post the rules awhile back because I went around and around with Rik on this issue. Turns out what I thought I had submitted was not the what I thougtht it was. I had deleted part and didn't realize it so I thought the submission was what I had in mind but it wasn't. Anyway Rik has always been awesome with his scribbles, they are a thing of beauty.
the whole point of the challenge is to use the line provided... if you can pick and choose segements - where is the challenge ?
but it's not your thread :D - you could always start one of your own ...:) ?Quote:
