Simon Stålenhag Appreciation | April 2022

Welcome to The Empire Monthly Challenge!

You are all welcome to stretch your artist legs. Get out of your comfort zone or artist block, and unleash your full potential!

There are no winners or prizes, it's all about challenging yourself. The deadline is purely to indicate the start of the next challenge, if you need more time to finish up that's okay.

Modifiers are optional rules for the challenge that allow you to push your skills even further!

Environment Challenge - Challenge Focus

Simon Stålenhag Wonder

Simon has a very specific look and detail that you can recognize right away. capturing that look and feel in what I would call the Simon Stålenhag wonder is the goal. Pay attention to shapes / sizes as well as color palette and mood. There are two pieces to pick from.

Prop Challenge - Challenge Focus

Early Loop Piece

Kind of like a buoy meets sensor type instrument. Shapes and texture are key but also the scale. Notice the size of a boat next to sensor 85
