The other day I had this image pop into my head. Why, I don't know, it just did, so I took a quick break from my KateClay projects and knocked it up in trueSpace and thought I'd share it with you all.
Make of it what you will... :)

I prefer my potatoes shot out of a cannon (don't ask) But I like the look of the glass bottle |

Stick a fork in it, it's done!
I don't think you have to worry about your covered up word... say it 'over here' and I think of the Sex Pistols. But maybe that's just me.
The only crits I would make would be that the background is a bit bland (say, that reminds me of the backdrop in a certain program); and the label on the bottle is also a bit generic.
I'd also say that it signifies the emptiness and pierced, drunken aspirations of many modern art pieces that perhaps should have been left fallow in the sandy fields of the artists imaginati..... OH BOLLOCKS! |

I really like this. It has a quirky sense of humour that appeals to me very much. The one thing I would say is the piece of tape could of done without the drop shadow which makes it looks like its hovering over the picture. Other than that its ready for the Tate Modern.

Looks great! Nice work! It appeals to both my artistic side as well as that Irish blood in me. I have a love for potatoes that is almost illegal. (in my best sling blade voice) I reckon I like dem taters mmmmm. :p |

where is the violence notice :D
... or is this a metaphysically image? I often feel the pain (fork) in my head (potatoe) when I drink alcohol? ;) |

You're welcome, Roman - it's a dirty job but somebody had to do it!
biranalldridge - I can't take any credit for the glass material, it's just the standard tS 6 glass shader with the colour set to green! What does help is that I've got a rotated skydome with a room texture on it behind the camera so the bottle is picking up some reflections.
Parva - metaphysical image? Nope! Not intentionally. More a statement that I think modern art is a load of old tosh! Interesting to see different interpretations though, fascinates me how different people can percieve the same picture in different ways.
Thanks for all the comments/feedback both on and off forum. |
