Let us suppose that the "average" horse would have equal proportions of all these parts. The degree to which each part in this poll deviates from the "average" size (20% of total) will determine how large or small that part of our horse will be (i.e a horse with only 10% in Legs will have legs half the size of the average horse).

I will draw a picture of the horse we make!

#i'm done with my project but these posts are still great

ALRIGHT GANG, this project has been completed academically. Cause for those who don't remember, this was literally a warm-up to my bachelor thesis in art at university.

Which means the people giving me grades now have stuff like this beautiful graph. (Thanks to @this-glittering-world for giving me access to tumblr poll vote tracking.)

And here's some graphs for the previous votes for medium, style, vibe and colours.

And here's a bit for the page where I academically had to explain why tumblr wanted Gandalf and Garfield with huge boobs. (And give a shoutout to long-term art buddy @degenezijde who suggested this glorious thing:)

Cause it was technically a portfolio as opposed to academic paper, they lifted restrictions on stuff like fonts and line spacing and whatnot, which meant I got to LEARN HOW TO USE INDESIGN FROM SCRATCH, so that was a blast. (Turns out if you've used Photoshop for over a decade, it's not that hard.)

I didn't have time to actually do the painting (and I probably won't until the 12th), BUT WHAT I CAN DO for now, is give y'all the sketch I made for what the final piece hopefully will look like.

Thank you all who came out to vote, give me suggestions, and reblogged my stuff. It's been incredibly helpful. ♥

Here's a preview of "Big Naturals Buddies". Enjoy.

ART DECIDED BY TUMBLR FINAL VOTE

You would not believe the nonsense i've been through in the last few weeks, so this vote is super after schedule, BUT LET'S GO ANYWAY

As a reminder, this artwork will be made in art nouveau style, using watercolour, with a tranquil/magical/creepy vibe, using mostly the colours purple, cyan, green, navy and magenta.

(Tumblr has no colour option resembling navy, I'm so sorry. No, you're not colour-blind if you see orange.)

I WANT TO MAKE A GORGEOUS ART PIECE TUMBLR WILL BE PROUD OF!

#artists on tumblr #i forgot to talk abt the nonsense i mentioned in the op #but if you're curious one of my members of my group project handed in something written by chatGPT #and as the group leader i had to report him for plagiarism #and it was a whole big unfortunate thing that ate up a lot of time #now I gotta focus mostly on the last paper i have to do #AND THEN i can draw tihs #because i definitely want to give this back to tumblr #it's so absolutely ridiculous

Just want to submit this ask and say I prompted the superwholock which came in second but I wanted to do a big shout out to Garfield/Gandalf cause I genuinely voted for that when the poll came out 🤣 Its an honor to come second behind the most worthy opponent and I am so excited to see your vision come to life!

Hahaha that's awesome!

I'm working on the actual exam part of this, which is priority one. I'll get as much progress on the art piece as I can for that.

Then after that I have another exam that I may need to focus on before finishing the big naturals, but IT'S GONNA GET DONE!

As a subject, I would like to suggest Elinor Ostrom, the Nobel laureate economist who disproved Malthusian economics and showed that it is possible for a self-regulating community to live without depleting resources?

I mean, HELL YEAH, that's fantastic, but I suspect some campaigning will be necessary to let her win.

Garfield and Gandalf big naturals buddies

Wait, Garfield has big naturals too?? The cat, or???

#some intense suggestions #would've been great just with gandalf big naturals but no

[art-by-committee]

for your subject of the very serious art project I submit the idea of some horror like amalgamation of superwholock. I'm talking human centipede or something

I have no idea how I would do this, but I'm delighted by it. Especially given art nouveau is heavily in the lead for style. Hope this does well in the voting portion.

(Update on "Decide What I Draw", the highly serious and fancy academic project that's part of my bachelor thesis.)

Just need to let y'all know that I've received a subject suggestion for drawing the fucking Onceler, so I'm gonna need everyone to step up their game and send me more asks with possible subjects.

PS: I don't mean that in "give me something serious and artsy", I mean give me something even more unhinged and tumblr exclusive.

#decide what i draw #or something serious and beautiful i guess but like #it's gonna be decided by voting tournament so

DECIDE WHAT I DRAW!! (info post)

I've been an artist for 20 years and I'm currently doing a bachelor project where I let tumblr decide what exactly I'm going to create!!

This week, I'm running four simultaneous polls to decide:

Medium/tools

Art style

Colours

Vibe ~

Next week, I will run a tournament bracket to decide what the actual subject should be. Until then, please submit suggestions for subject through asks!

The finished result will be posted by December 10th.

My regular art blog is @harbek. Here's some examples of my range:

SCHEDULE:

November 14th - 21st: Polls on medium/style/colours/vibe.

November 21st: Deadline for subject submissions.

November 22nd: The subject tournament bracket begins!

(One-day polls. Length will depend on number of suggestions.)

PROFIT??? (I work on the art and also my other exams.)

December 8th: Academic deadline for this project!!

December 10th: When the final result will be posted.

MORE DETAILS (FOR THE CURIOUS):

This is a project that's a part of my bachelor degree in Art, at the University of South-Eastern Norway. I'm examining and experimenting with the concept of an artist letting the direction of their work be determined by their audience (such as by communal voting).

Stuff you may find on this blog:

These polls, obviously.

An occasional reblog relevant to this subject?

Other polls asking your opinions on related stuff.

Concept sketches based on random possible combinations of poll results (to have more than one work to show).

ALSO, the art result of my test poll!

If you're an artist (of any level of skill/experience) and you have thoughts on this, please feel free to reach out!

#artists on tumblr #tumblr polls #definitely shooting myself in the foot by including MS paint on here but I'll let tumblr decide

i made an attempt, but imma be real, i don't think this post was ideally designed for actually coming up with a drawable design. fuzz is the second highest. how do i accurately represent that without obscuring all the other facets?

#art #i should definitely include this in my art project #it's interesting note in what will make something harder
