Top Six - the Note Card Set. 3 days left!

 Cabbage Art & Scarf Invitational Set of Note Cards Reward.
You've chosen a very dramatic and colorful selection for the top six winners, which will be the Note Cards Reward. (See &/or join the Kickstarter project at: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/743498317/the-cabbage-art-and-scarf-invitational.) THANK YOU!!!

I'm delighted with the selections, since my own color sense tends towards the dramatic and colorful. These have been a pleasure to work with, and I think they are great together.

The quality of these winning selections prove to me the validity of my concept of crowd-sourcing the survival of the fittest decisions, which will be much more important (and powerful) for my some of next projects, which will feature more generations, fewer images. Many, many thanks for sticking with this somewhat demanding process. If you've been enjoying it, or have suggestions for future iterations, let me know. Thanks!

"Cabbage Acting the Roll of Volcano"
"CABBAGE IN THE ROLL OF VOLCANO" Finished Cabbage Artwork from the Cabbage Art & Scarf Invitational Kickstarter Project. This positively seething cabbage artwork apparently JUST HAD to come out today. I love it when that happens.

For other pixel painters, I used Camera 360, Tangle (several times), Percolator (several times), Big Photo, LOTS of iColorama (amazing app!) and the workhorse tools in Photoshop.

"Light at the End of the Tunnel" finished artwork & some of its Whimsies

"LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL".

This image has so much going on that it didn't need any extra textures  or fanciness. It's the kind of artwork that art show judges would like. It also made some terrific Whimsies!

Round Five's First place winner was way ahead of the Second place Cabbage, which was way ahead of the rest. The winners were very clear. Great selection, thank you to all who participated.

"Backlighting, Yes!"

Whereas the last artwork fought back and took forever, this one just flowed out. I love it when that happens!

For the Apps students, there's a lot of Camera 360, a bit of Percolator, some Tangle, and bits of a few others, and Photoshop to bring it together.

"BREAKERS"   Finished Artwork

This is the final winner from the Round One Cabbage Contenders. I was expecting this image to develop very smoothly to it's finished state, but for some reaso
n it was a real battle.  I was not satisfied with the lower purple leaves, and could not get them to cooperate. I finally had to build them from another leaf source. Can you figure out which one?
