I've already entered...

"Hey hey HEY there,

I heard that you’re looking for incredible portraits, SO I thought I’d throw my hat into works. My friend Toby (from Wandsworth) told me all about your competition , and the $55 dollar bounty reward (which I’ve already earmarked for a weekend’s B+B’ing in Carluke). So, without further ado, allow me to present to you two (two) portrait explosions!

The first was rendered with Microsoft’s art suite digital tools, over a previous rendition of a popular ancient trope (man on horse BORING). I reworked it to show my uncle Jonathan – a fairly famous Final Fantasy cosplayer in his own right, you might know him – on his way to catch a ferry, with return tickets he won through one of those free scratch cards you get in Sunday newspapers. He’s not a ferry fan, but he hates waste, and I admire that. Hence the portrait.

The second was rendered with Microsoft’s art suite digital tools, over some photo, and was originally a commission for Penguin. To be fair, I took the lead in contacting them with it, and since it’s been over 3 years since I sent it to them, I thought Fair game, I can reuse this. Consider it yours.

I hope these help – please don’t send the prize in coppers, as I don’t have any plastic bags left (as strange as that may seem!)

Regards

Arthur Bonoit"

Don't worry, you should give it a go anyway - I may be a little overqualified for this one.
