I didn't see this contest. Normally I don't do specials for contests but rummage in what I have already, but now finding they can help practice and inspire to new ideas. This one of yours does that for me. It has humour, candles on heads? and seriousness but fun expressions in those faces, and are they encased in bells? what an inspired selection of pieces put together. The artwork shows excellent drawing skills also. Not sure from your notes, rambling a bit lol whether you are in time for the comp, if so good luck.

This is an incredible piece love the purple in it the different heads shows power and there is a spiritual meaning to it. The candles burning is light and hope of some kind. I love it congratulations .

Ah man this is cool. I like the creativity and color you put into it. The attention to detail is great. This definitely would've been a great entry into the purple humor contest. The technique and presentation is excellent.

I like your take on the Burn album cover! Making their faces purple is an amusing addition. I think the candles and their flames look especially nice. It would have been a good purple entry! You must have coffee first :)

    You need to look at the burn album..the only thing I took was the concept of it..here is the funny part..I haven't viewed that album in decades but always remember the approach on the cover.. everything on this work is all creation from me.. wink.. thanks for the review

    I like your original take!
Comment from Malmax


Wow Mark, I can almost hear the music..! What a creative and unique entry which really makes me think of the band!
Man this could've been a terrific album cover or jacket.
Excellent artistry as usual!
Best wishes!

Don't you know that it is always dangerous to work without coffee? It causes great harm to mine and body of artists!
You apparently painted those purple guys after coffee. They are pretty good. This is a sophisticated creation, apparently with lots of meaning. Interesting that there a fife which build two triangles. I like that all faces show different expressions. They look familiar. I have the feel that I know some of those peoples. Anyway they look really good performing excellently in their own candle spot lights. I think is good that you post in your own contest, it might inspire other artists.

A stunning art work.....wonderful expressions on their faces and I do hear the music. Good facial expressions and proportions. Your many shades of purple adding to the good differentiation and contrast in our scene. Wonderful details and skillfully sketched. What a wonderful imagination....putting candles on their heads. A creative and talented art work. Thanks for sharing.

Is this the actual band? As soon as I saw the name of the piece smoke on the water started going thru my head. Lol. Anyway great work. I am sure you would do well in a purple contest.

This is a fantastic design and so fast - you are a master incomparable and unique - I love the candles on their heads as they play music in another realm for now
excellent use of space , super color range in purple - perfectly recognizable in form and expression in character and style
excellent shadow and light application -
a stunning piece enjoyable - memorable and perfect in art and design, all the best for the contest
