4th and final picture of Carved blown brown chicken egg.

Graphite pencil on medium weight drawing paper. Subject is a jay sitting on a stump. I wanted to play with contrast in this piece and explore a more abstract background instead of fully detailing each area.

Macaw in watercolor and ink pen on 80 lb watercolor paper. This was done as a study for a larger piece, but I ended up liking this one better than the final product.

Here is my sea dragon sculpture. (I entered him in my local fair. Really salty about what I lost to.)

The other thing to kinda consider here is this is a chicken forum. Yes, the prizes have a tangible value (here), but you're not retiring to a private beach some place from winning a contest (and no offense intended in that, the prizes we offer are fair and appropriate for BYC). If someone's determined to resort to cheating to win a contest here, they aren't going to be deterred by any security we implement. Nothing is ever foolproof, fools are far more inventive than they're given credit for. We'll either catch them or we won't.

I would say "Be prepared to show your work if asked" is probably fair, and yeah, some in-progress screenies would suffice in that instance. I will defer to staff if they have other ideas, of course.

Side note, I love your title. I wish I'd thought of that first.

Are you entering some dog art here?

Thanks. The first half is my choosing. The second half is self-deprecating to keep me humble. Doesn't work too well though.

I think I can do something fancier than that. I'm trying to learn Blender - I think that will up my printing game.
