Decided to give them what they want. A traditional scarecrow. Instantly appealing to children and the elderly.
Not really, but I'm currently working on this year's scarecrow for the contest. Extremely traditional and Halloween-ish. Curb appeal, with darker creepy tones as you get closer.
I'm going to call him SEEDS.
And he's going to win first place.
Totally.

Knock 'em dead...literally.
Sorry, I just have always wanted to have an excuse to say that.
Well, I guess you have to make the village happy once in a while.
(until they get closer and see the dark side of it....)
Yes Rot, courage in your convictions...
I sure hope you win, Mr. Rot! But it seems to me this competition is more geared to sickeningly cute "scarecrows" which are mostly pop-culture references. Now if only they had a EVIL SCARECROW competition, now THAT would be awesome!
You Go Rot!!
I should add that I'm not in any way pandering to the crowds at the competition. This scarecrow is going to be 100% me. Just my more traditional side. Not sacrificing any of the darkness : )
Maybe you should make one with animatronic TOT's legs kicking from his large mouth.
That'll learn 'em!
: D
What ever outcome happens at the competition, yours will always be my favorite. Scare on Rot!
Good luck this year, can't wait to see it.
Seed's, the name alone creates visions in my mind......very cool..
Yeah the general public like happy cute scare crows.. did they miss the scare part?? We should call them cute crows..lol.
"seeds"...can't wait to see it! I already have visions of a mischievous, pumpkin-headed scarecrow with just a bit of an evil smile...only when you come close do you see the rotten, roasted seeds oozing from his orifices! I admire your tenacity in entering this contest year after year. the stuff these guys have selected for winners each year would have kicked me to the curb long ago. (but I think most people really just don't 'get' good art) anyway, so glad to hear you won't be sacrificing your artistic integrity--whew! had me scared there for a minute, hehe. (not really...)
