Yes, specifics would be nice. I was originally thinking it looked something like a rounded starfish where all the appendages were identical. Are they at least evenly spaced? Try to describe the size in relation to the proprotion of the mouth or eyes too, which ever is easier (ie this is about 3 eyes/mouths long). I care more about correct porportions then drawing it slightly too big/small.

The top petal/appendage is the biggest one, and it's a bit right-of-center. It's about as wide as the mouth and 80% as long.

How tall is the mouth compared to the eyes (like is it really thin or thick)? About how far are the eyes spaced apart, how far below is the mouth compared to the eyes, and does the mouth spread the length between the two eyes or is it shorter/longer than the distance between the eyes, and how much so?

One more thing that's kind of off topic, the challenge didn't say it was timed when you filled out the form, did it?
Also my cat left my lap, but it didn't really impact my performance anyhow so now I'm kind of sad.

For clarity, whenever I say left/right, it will be from the viewer's perspective instead of the flower/star/thing's.
The outline of the mouth is about one eye thick. The inside of the mouth is also about one eye. The right eye is over the right edge of the inside of the mouth. The left eye has about 15% of the inside of the mouth passing it to the left. The mouth is 1-1.5 eye lengths below the eyes.

I don't think it said anything about being timed, but I don't have that page open anymore because I clicked the image link.

Just for clarification, 80% long means it's shorter than the mouth, right?
Also, how many elements of this picture do you think there are? Is this flower pretty important or are there like 50 other things like it, because if so then I think I'll just take what we can get after you answer the last few questions and move on, but if there are only like a handful of really detailed things to worry about then we can spend a bit more time on the flower.

The top left petal/appendage is about as wide and long as the mouth.
The bottom left petal/appendage is as wide as 2/3 of the mouth. About that long too.

Oh, so is the mouth really tiny then? And are the elements of the face (eyes / mouth) really close together? Does the rest of the body look very large in comparison, then?

There are 5 elements plus the solid background. The star is the fourth-most detailed.
I apologize, the top appendage is actually barely longer than the mouth. I just re-measured.

What's the length of the distance between the eyes (like how many eyes could fit between the eyes)?
|
|

Post by Ted Cruz on Mar 5, 2020 3:57:48 GMT
The eyes and mouth are very close together relative to the rest of it. The bottom left appendage looks especially small. The top and the middle-right look big. The top-left and bottom-right are in the middle of those extremes, size-wise.
|
|
|
Post by Ted Cruz on Mar 5, 2020 3:59:50 GMT
About 2.5 eyes would fit between the eyes.

Okay, I've been sketching it out, and I want to double-check that I'm on the right track shape and position wise. The mouth in my drawing rn looks like a thin, long, rounded stick more/less, and the eyes are just barely above it. I've just started drawing the petals and they look very big compared to the size of the head, at least the top right one, and thick too.

The bottom right appendage is about as wide and long as the mouth.
The right appendage is slightly wider than the mouth and about 3/4 as long.

One more thing, are the petals connected to each other directly like in a normal flower, or is there a like a line connecting the petals or something similar?
|
|
|
Post by Ted Cruz on Mar 5, 2020 4:08:12 GMT
There is a little space between the eyes and the mouth. They're not far apart, but it shouldn't feel like the eyes are right on top. All of the petals except the bottom left should look thick, yeah.

Post by Ted Cruz on Mar 5, 2020 4:10:23 GMT
There is a crease of sorts between each petal. Like five little armpits. Except one of them is definitely the crotch.
|
|
|
Post by Ted Cruz on Mar 5, 2020 4:10:59 GMT
The outline of the flower is continuous though, with no breaks between the appendages or in the creases.

Are there like three petals centered on the right? I'm trying to figure out which petal crosses the middle, or if there's just like a gap / blank line there. Is it the one that's directly down-right of the smallest petal?
|
|
|
Post by Ted Cruz on Mar 5, 2020 4:13:50 GMT
There are three rightward petals because of how the top petal is to the right, yeah. The biggest gap and shallowest crease is between the two petals on the left.
|

Post by Stitch on Mar 5, 2020 4:14:19 GMT
Are the "armpits" extended out like the petals (like little micro petals) or are they pointed more towards the face? Also, I'm assuming the "crotch" is at the bottom of the star, around the middle?
|
|

Post by Stitch on Mar 5, 2020 4:15:41 GMT
So, for clarification, is the biggest gap between the shortest petal and the one that's on the top left?
|
|
|
Post by Ted Cruz on Mar 5, 2020 4:16:51 GMT
I don't understand what you mean by micro petals.
You're right about the crotch. It's to the left of center for two reasons. One is that center is skewed to the right because of the top petal, and the second is that the bottom left petal is smaller than the bottom right one.

So, for clarification, is the biggest gap between the shortest petal and the one that's on the top left? Correct.
