Hi Pat, I was wondering if some examples could be given I seem to be brain dead for ideas...... did anyone find my muse yet :) I think I lost it :bowl: at least 2 months ago...just nothing comes to mind... :cries:

[AnnaKirsten]

I must admit that beyond the kind of thing I did, I couldn't think of anything else to do with this... I had hoped there would be more contestants by now, but I can understand where Carolyn's coming from.

is there a closing date???? And yes please........examples :nod:

[Engel47]

Ignore above - just went to the link for the image and found the closing date :ohmygod: Ignore me - just call it jet lag (from a one hour flight) :disbelief

[ppetersen]

Well, there are many ways one can take this. Nikky's image used the image itself. But one can use a poser model to do this... think along the lines of a city, country or even the world rising from the ashes of adversity, or disaster. A bright light shining rising, giving hope. When I saw that statue, those and more thoughts came to my head.

I'm working on a sketch for it, but not sure if I'll have it done, as I've a few things on my plate right now LOL... :) But basically the idea is to depict it ... It could be a phoenix, or a person, or even a city after rising from the ashes. Ashes meaning any devasting thing that could happen and they recover and survive.

Example: Gone with the Wind... Scarlet, forlorn and broken, having lost every thing, raises her hand to the heavens and declares she will not be broken.... I forgot the words she used in that scene, but that's what I'm saying, even a person can 'rise from the ashes.'

I think that there are ideas enough because there is a world of thoughts behind it. I will see. Where can I show my first sight of view?

[ppetersen]

Robert, if you have a picture for this, post to the Collaborators challenge. If you want to post an idea, feel free to post it here :) Would love to see more enter!!

[classylady]

Thanks Pat now maybe I can try to do something.. thats alot for all the idea's like i said before I lost my darn muse... :sconf: like I had one in the first place lol........ I'll give it a shot
Thanks again

[ppetersen]

Woot woot you found that muse again I see :)))

[classylady]

Maybe Pat I've been trying to get Terragen to cooperate and it just doesn't like me today course its only been 2 days since I slept last.. no biggy I used to go 5 days with no sleep. It's called pain... hope to get back later today

[ppetersen]

I've done the two days no sleep but that's the 'stage' of life my body is in. Unfortunately my mind tends to go when that happens... :) Feel better Carolyn... :) and todays was full of the muse...

[Engel47]

Um.. I think these two have got a bit mixed up! I just noticed the link brought me here to the collaborator's corner, but that there are also congrats for the Fine Arts challenge here too? (There didn't seem to be a link to the Fine Arts ForUm - maybe there isn't one come to think of it!)

So.. Congratulations also to Vos, Wile and BigH in the Collaboration Challenge.

Well done everyone! :clap: :clap:

EDIT: I HAVE NOW ADDED THE LINK TO THE FINE ARTS FORUM IN THE ANNOUNCEMENT.
