City Scoop Fan Art Challenge! Please read.

Hi all! I've been thinking of ways to improve the scoop, and I thought a challenge for everyone in the art community would help.

I don't want to overshadow the monthly "FArt Wars" (who came up with that contraction anyways? ), but I would like to expand the art selection/styles in the scoop.

Here is what I am thinking of:
Monthly the Scoop suggests an art movement (Art Nouveau, Cubism, Dada, Surrealist, Constructivist, Pop Art, Digital, Pointillist, etc), and people stretch their abilities to come up with work based on that style.

At the end of the month the scoop will then feature the submissions. This would be handled by the art editors (Currently Dirtwolf and Thor's Assassin).

Hopefully this will attract some newer artists as well as the frequent contributors in this group. ( I might even submit something from time to time myself )

To start things off, what can people come up with for an Art Nouveau theme?

Edits:
This post is meant to start a discussion on how to get some new/fresh art in the scoop. I wanted to get input from this section, rather than trying to dictate rules for a new contest. I thought that a challenge would get some interesting results.

Art Nouveau
Artist by Movement: Art Noveau (thanks LadyJudgement)
Art Noveau World Wide (thanks LadyJudgement)

Here is an example:

Not to rain on your parade, but you're talking some extreme art themes applied to a comic format... I have no desire to see or make cubist heroes, and I can't imagine people wanting to do the same. BUT, I could be very wrong, I wish you luck on this...

My point however is that it's one thing to do a classic comic look of Positron now, and it's another thing to say make it look like Van Gogh drew him or Da Vinci... this is a very talented forum, but I must say with all due respect, you're asking a lot of us.

Submitting art to the Scoop is great exposure, and also an honor, but under these terms I'm not sure the effort is worth the gain. But as I said I could be wrong. Graver I'm sure could pull this off, if he had the time. I too believe it's in me, though the desire not so much.

A theme is one thing, draw heroic Valentines, or villainous Easter eggs... but Pointilism? Thank you no.

This is an awful idea.

Uhhhh yeeeah, I'm with LJ on this. A theme might be neat, but asking artists to take on a different style - and famously classical ones at that, seems like too much of an undertaking to me.
