Fappo!
Seriously, I don't know what it is about this format that makes these so hard to write! Maybe it's Blogger's compositional layout - all blank white space and sparse menu text and buttons. Trying to get started on anything in here is like trying to make that first brushstroke on a blank canvas. You know it's not really going to matter, but it feels like the most monumental, important thing in the world at that moment. That if you do it wrong, everything is ruined forever.
MEH.
Time to make a mark, even if it turns out to be a mistake. Except I already have, kinda. Shush.
Anyway! As always, it's great to see stuff from you guys! I don't know if anyone really bothers looking at the wrap up anymore, but I think it's really neat to see everyone's interpretations of the theme, all arranged together. It's fun to see the difference in interpretation, in development, in technique and style!
Which is another reason I think it's valuable to get them all together like this - when you see the various different ways people approached the same theme you worked on, you can pick out clever ideas, interesting techniques, and general style that you like, and can work at applying all that in your own stuff! And really, that's what these wrap ups are for - not just to show it all off at once, but also to help everyone as an artist! The best way to improve generally isn't to work in a vacuum, after all; you'll do much better by observation and adaptation of things that you like or think are done well. :)
So, let's get to looking and see if there's anything that strikes our fancy, shall we?
(Also, I'm doing the post and the comments this week, so I'm not going to bother marking them with my name :P)
