Eggtober 25 Imposter or “The Egg Plant” Clip Studio Paint, Gouache Brush. 17 Colors, 40 minutes. Did you know the Eggplant, was named that because when the Brits first encountered it, it was a smaller pale varietal that was the shape and color of an egg? The reason Eggplant (or Aubergine as some call them) are known by the wider western world to be big purple phallic things of emoji fame is because, well, the purple ones have an attractive color and a higher yield because the fruits are bigger. So we just kept the name for the initial variety and slapped it on the big purple things we started growing and it stuck around to the point that we basically don’t even see the namesake variety anymore and it took me some embarrassingly long number of years to learn that Eggplants got that name for, well, an obvious reason. But that leaves a question... Is the eggplant in my painting an aubergine? Or is it an egg that someone “planted” there to bamboozle you all? Is the title leading you to an assumption? Or is the art? A very tricky art for a very tricky holiday coming up. I have something special planned for Halloween, but this was going to be my Halloween entry before I came up with a better idea. A trick and a treat, so to speak. It was always my intent to be cheeky on at least a few of these, but my intent was to have as few inedible eggs as possible (for example, a Fabergé Egg would be intricate and exquisite to paint, but the restriction to eggs that are edible not only spares me hours of learning to paint filigree, but also challenges me to come up with an edible egg every day. Similarly, while many eggs in their shells are quite interesting to draw, including some famous video game eggs, I feel like it would be a bit cheep (haha, get it? Cheap? Bird pun?) to just... throw up a robin’s egg one day and an ostrich egg the next and keep just relying on the shape and shell color to tell you something.) All manner of eggs are a decent challenge, of course, and I would never disparage anyone for doing an entire eggtober of just eggs in their shells, but as Eggtober was primarily inspired by @quezify and his fried eggs, I wanted to stick with that edible theme. I may even come back next year and do an Eggtober just entirely of eggs in their shells, or entirely inedible eggs like those of video game fame. But I promised myself that for this Eggtober, I would strive to do nothing that wasn’t an incredible, edible, egg. So whether or not this egg is an imposter, it should be perfectly edible! As always, big thanks to the Egg Master, @quezify for all that is Eggtober.
