    you mean the abandoned one? ha ha

    not that confusing, that hard to think of something though. 

    Really we had an adandoned one. I didnt know that, often  wouder why i hadn't see any thermo themed art about.

    yeah this was olga's challenge, and you know the olga story! a couple of people attempted an interpretation, but in the end we gave up on it.

    you weren't a member then eagle, we had a member called olga that was basically doing paintovers and putting them out as her own work, anyway she left after being 'outted' but before that she'd set the challenge which was pretty much far too clever for all of us! so as she'd left it was abandoned.

    Ah now I see.

    So what exactly is a paintover? I've heard of it before but aren't too sure if I've got it right. Is it taking a photo and painting over it a bit to make it look like a painting?

    yep that's exactly right, she used to show 'reverse' wips by smudging up the photograph and each stage it became more of a refined 'painting'.

    Lol. Edart, no wonder Olga fooled a lot of people. That paintover is seamless!

    OMG i recall that one now! I stumbled into the room and everyone was laying into her. That was a sad low in the imaginefx world i thought. Sad

    It was excruciating to watch. i was gobsmacked  I didn't , couldn't even post a word - i was that shocked. SHE even threatened to get her lawyers involved because people were saying it was a paintover... even had her hubby standing over her while she replied to the accusations.
    I felt sorry for here it was like bear baiting, the more she stuck up for herself the more the mob mentality took over. Im ashamed to say it got quite medieval in there.
    And yes, It was a paintover in my opinion

    Thanks Gurch. I was chuffed to bits when I stumbled across it, even if they did spell my name wrong.
