Definitely captures the Art Nouveau flavor, nicely done!

love it! thats what i was going for when i took the photo

Good association, the girl certainly fits well for a Mucha theme. Perhaps I'd make the outline a bit thicker so there's a better link with the circle in the background (and if you'd like also add a few thinner lines on her arms, hair, etc). And if you réally want, you may want to change the position of the words a bit: instead of overlapping them, let them fit in the leftover space (blue background) of the image, so that text and image all become one. Up to you. Good luck!

Mmm, some more about the text: I see in original Mucha posters that the text is also behind women and other images, so that may be an option too

Nice poster, great blend of contrasting colors, good stuff.

this is great !!! nice work

Congrats Bob!!

Congratulation ! Well done and deserved! Wish you a nice week!

Congrats Bob. Good work!

I love the flowers but the cutout of the man on that background really doesnt go well, i think it looks better on the light blueish background on step 10.

Thanks for your input Eladine. Decided to get rid of the purple and go toward the blue gray again.

This is confusing. I see it as either a gigantic bouquet of flowers that don't exist in the real world next to a life size person & object, or tiny replicas next to some sort of bouquet of flowers that don't exist in the real world.

Love your description! and color choices.

Nice! GL!

my fave is the one in third row all the way on the right =)

super cool colorful work...gl author

Amazing!

Love it! The contrast between the the original surreal source and your stylized use of it is wonderful.

Cheers

I don't care for Miro, but you did a nice job making me think of him.

A fun piece = )

Cool movie info, author. Reminds me of one or two other early scifi films.
In this Metropolis film, was there only a single eye on the robot? (The image at wiki shows two.)

I went with the one eye because it was the first thing the egg suggested, and after trying two eyes, I went with my first idea. I didn't want to be a slave to the film image.
(And Gort, in THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, was a very cool one eyed robot!

I've heard of the film but never actually seen it, so I searched on youtube and found several clips including the full 118 minute version. This one is my favorite as is your INCREDIBLE chop!!!

Also..fantastic special effects for a film made in 1927!!!

Thank you, JCF!
(I totally agree about the awesomeness of the special effects for the time period.).

Still one of my favourite movies.. and this is a fantastic inspired image

I can't get over how ya'll can take one image and create something so different! Great work author!

Is that a mouth on her stomach? Anyway, it's creepy and cool. Good luck!

LOL Pingenvy! Nah, that was just some stuff that was on the part I warped for her torso...I guess it was kinda distracting, so it's gone now. Thanks!

I've seen the film, so I knew it was from it the minute I saw your entry.
Great work!

Im thinking this is my fav of the contest

Definintely my fav ... really nice work Author ... and great imagination in the creation of her! High point for the work and high point for the conception!

Terrific creativity and technique here. GL

Awesome! Very cool! Nice work my friend! GL!

Interesting stylized rendering! I like the strategic placement of the eye color, very nice! A brilliant must see film! BTW Maria was the inspiration for C3PO.
