Sketched this one up just now. I can think of a bunch of different places to take this one, but I'm not sure what's best. <br />

			<description><![CDATA[I just got done sanding styrofoam for about an hour and a half for a little competition. Both my friend's mother and my mother work at a nursery together and every year it hosts a pumpkin art competition. My friend has competed for the past two years and she felt obligated to do it again this year. I hadn't known about it until recently, but now I'm helping her out with the creation of this year's entry. <br />
<br />
She wanted to do a Where the Wild Things Are themed pumpkin (namely the most recognizable character from the book and movie... I haven't seen it yet so I don't know any of the names). I've never really done anything quite like this, so I'm excited to see how it turns out. Here's what I've done so far:<br />

			<description><![CDATA[I had an idea today after stalliongsta mentioned some stuff about battlefields and war scenery. Somehow this floated into my head and I got to work tracing a photo of some American soldiers in Vietnam. Some of the values of the colors got brought along with the linework when I separated the elements, but I think it looks neat as it is. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/43938902@N08/4034980967/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2551/4034980967_1e1b60ef3a_o.jpg" width="640" height="800" alt="Pop Platoon" /></a><br />
<br />
I'm planning on adding splotches of color for each flower and then picking a tee color. Before I move on with it, though, I wanted to get some feedback. I'm not terribly too proud of some parts of the illustration itself. I feel like I butchered the flowers themselves and some segments of each soldier. Do my errors add charm, or are they just ugly?   <br />
<br />
UPDATE<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/43938902@N08/4035149325/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2755/4035149325_51aa8c4338.jpg" width="400" height="500" alt="Pop Platoon 2" /></a><br />
<br />
How's that? Pop?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I've finally gotten around to putting this one together! I wish I had the capacity to crank out spectacular designs like so many of the wonderful talents around here, but I'm just not able. That being so, it's been a number of months since I've even tried to hammer out a design.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

			<description><![CDATA[This is really the first design I've done that I had any real investment in. I didn't think that it would do as well as it did because I've noticed that most printed designs rarely score 4s, so a 2.16 is excellent in my eyes. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.threadless.com/submission/198163/Heads_or_Tails?streetteam=loopyom"><img src="http://www.threadless.com/subbanner/198163/banner1.png" width="220" height="119" border="0" alt="Heads or Tails? - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More" /></a><br />
<br />
Thanks to everyone who voted and commented! I really appreciate it!<br />
<br />
I've got a few more designs planned that I will blog about when I get started on them:<br />
<br />
&quot;Sweet Victory&quot;<br />
&quot;Pleasure, Beauty, and Jealousy (PB&amp;J)&quot;<br />
and<br />
&quot;I'm a Monster&quot; <br />
<br />
They're all still just ideas, but after knowing that I can approach scores like 2.16, I want to get started as soon as possible. <br />
<br />
Thanks everyone! ]]></description>
