    Will it count as still life if the still life is not still? I'm thinking that maybe, just maybe, there could be something nasty in that alien fruit bowl!

    I think that'd still count, Dom :)

    Hey, I'm new to all this and this is the first time I've posted something in a forum!!!

    So this is my take on the theme and at the same time a sort of homage to one of Van Gogh's Tournesols paintings. 

    I hope I can finish on time :)

    Looks good Liuai! Welcome to IFX and I hope you have a blast around here and learn some new stuff!

    I have a similar idea, to take a famous painting and do an "alien" version. Great minds...!

    Keep it up.

    Doubt I'll have time to join in, but as soon as I saw this I thought an alien version of Steenwycks An Allegory of the Vanities of Human Life would be cool.

    Don't know if I will be able to do this one this week, busy schedule with clients and school, but here is my 1st sketch in case I find time!

    Here are two concepts I had for this suprisingly tricky brief. I liked the one on the left, but I felt it was a little bland, so I have chosen to go for the insect fruit bowl on the right instead.

    Sorry that these images are so scrappy.

    See you for more updates later!
