Unique Challenge

Post by Iron_Forge »

I have a small obsession for dragons, and have been collecting art and sculptures of them for quite a few years...I'm finishing the basement in my house, and I would like a unique piece for it...So I'm going to create a latch hook rug for my entertainment area...The size is going to be 5'x8', so this equates to 225x360 pixels...There's also a restriction on colors, so I've attached the photoshop palette of colors that are available to me...

So you have some general ideas, the floor is going to be a dark color, so some contrast would be nice...I'm more into the english style of dragon than the asian style aswell...

Some pictures to give you some ideas of things I like:

Of course you're not limited to these, it's just an idea of pieces I like (especially the last one ;o)...

Assuming anyone is interested in doing this, if I see a piece I really like, it will be converted into a rug in my basement, if that 'coolness' factor gives you a reason to put forth an effort...

Thanks for taking the time...

Let's see if I can get the hang of my new WACOM and do this.
What colors are we limited to?

I wish I had the time to submit something, but I don't. Although, I cannot wait to see what the final result is, I bet it will look amazing.

Yeah, probably 300 dpi is pretty standard.

I might give this a try, Iron_Forge. Definitely for a good cause.
