Introduction

Along with the comics colorizing contest this one has a similar yet different topic. The base for the colorization needs to be a photo of a statue or stone sculpture. As shown in the example above I tried to colorize the sculpture. It is not necessary to bring them totally to life (no photo realism is needed). The key point is to colorize in fanciful/visionary way. You can also add some accessory stuff on your own to the scene (maybe neclaces, rings or so). We hope you’re having fun with this contest, too ;-)

Specific rules

I just came back from a trip to florence in Italy, which is aka “the city of renaissance”. It was awesome and I took some pictures (of course ;)) which I uploaded to flickr for this contest. You can use it if you want. Many of these fotos were taken in the Galleria dell’Academia which is a famous museum showing the original DAVID statue of Michaelangelo, too.

View the images on Flickr

Please show the base image in the end picture in any way (for instance as a miniature in one of the corners).
