**Hello, Everyone!

Viv asked me to start this thread —

** — **rules etc. to follow soon...

---

The theme for November is Diptych/Triptych.****

From the  ArtLex  website:

diptych — "A picture or bas-relief made of two panels hinged together, often an altarpiece. Also, any picture consisting of two individual surfaces."

triptych *— "A painting or carving that has three side-by-side parts, panels, or canvases. Typically, a triptych has three hinged panels, the two outer panels designed so that they can be folded in towards the central one.

A triptych can also be, more loosely, something composed or presented in three parts or sections.

'Triptych' has come to us from the Greek 'triptychos,' formed by combining 'tri-' ('three') and 'ptyche' ('fold' or 'layer'). Although 'triptych' originally described a specific type of Roman writing tablet that had three hinged panels, it makes sense that the word was adopted first for a three-paneled painting, and then to include anything composed of three parts. 'Triptych' can even be used as a synonym for 'trilogy.'"*****

Visit  ArtLex.com  for more information and some example images of each.**

November Challenge - DIPTYCH/TRIPTYCH

 

 

Thanks, Denger, for coming up with a terrific theme!  I think it will be a great challenge!  Thanks also for providing some good info for everyone.

Let's run this until the last week of November, I will give you a day or so heads up and if anyone needs more time they can let me know.  You may enter an existing work if you like, but we would prefer to see a new work created for this challenge... it IS a challenge after all, lol!  You may enter more than one work, but remember that in the voting, each entry will be judged separately.  Please, please, please put titles on your entries, especially if you have more than one.

Let your imagination flow!!!

Ah, now this is indeed a challenge. I'll see if I can dash off a trilogy before the deadline. Something along the lines of the Lord of the Rings, perhaps. ;-) Just kidding.

I actually have an idea cooking, but it's still in the fermentation stage. This should be an interesting one. Congrats on last month's win, by the way. ~jon

Well,  I already made one, but I dont dare to post it yet, I dont really know if I, because of my language have misunderstood something :)))  

I hope someone will start up soon. I am really exited to see what you are coming up with.  :)

Gog,

November 28 seems like a good day to shoot for, but if you need an extra day to finish the render, let me know.

Sounds like a reasonable date ...and now we must get busy, eh?    ;)

Infrared Birdhouse Triptych Just another of your everyday, run-of-the-mill lakeside birdhouse triptychs shot in infrared. :')

Kort Kramer - Kramer Kreations

Leave it to Kort to come up with teriffic frost covered trees in the steamy south.  This looks like a fun challenge.

this is my 'alternative' 3d triptych.

"The light at the end of the tunnel may be an oncoming train"

Thanks Tom and neat concept and image there koosie!

Kort Kramer - Kramer Kreations

Excellent Kort !

this is a very fine interpretation of a triptych - i love the idea and the image!

"The light at the end of the tunnel may be an oncoming train"

Triptych mood of Gasper

 My cousin (only 7 years old) and me, we enjoyed to make it.

What a lovely Triptych you have created, Kort. Beautiful winter shots indeed.

Helle

A most elegant triptych, koosievantutte. Beautiful texture and light/shade.

Helle

your cousin is starting young, valerie, a very good thing and a nice triptych to start :-)

"The light at the end of the tunnel may be an oncoming train"

A splendid idea with the little angel and so well done  triptych. Lovely view.

A really sweet idea with the Ghost  too. I am sure you had fun :)

Helle

Valou, I really do like your image, the first you posted here.  The idea of three together makes us think of three apart but together.  You and koosievantutte have posted it all within one image and that works very well, very well indeed.        Tom

Hi,    Once again I am trying to participate.I create a triptych in photoshop.I try to show the positive and negative factors of the human behaviour.

good image imo - i like the change, making use of the tree panels.

"The light at the end of the tunnel may be an oncoming train"

**ambreen!
**What a fine idea to a triptych.  I like it and i think you did a splendid job.

Helle

Duhhh, I am still trying to upload a picture but attaching a file does not work. What am I doing wrong? Can somebody help me?
Thanks in advance.
Marren

click on browse - browse to the file - open it - press post reply and it should work fine.
remember that the file can not be over 200 kb !!!

"The light at the end of the tunnel may be an oncoming train"

~ A New Beginning ~ This picture was made with a friend in mind who just got married. Thank you for your help, koosievantutte, the 200kb was important.

very fine triptych! lovely gold tones

"The light at the end of the tunnel may be an oncoming train"

A diptyich...look folks, I do photography and not this stuff. Forgive the lackings of the effort and accept the strangeness of my thinking... : )

This is Water Bunnies in Outer Space

**marren!

This is a very lovely Triptych and I like very much the old look. Bravo!
Helle

WOW! TomDart, it makes me think about these science fictions, where they get punished and will be sent out to the outer space.......LOL!  Water Bunny :))      Well done Diptych.

Helle.

Here is my smiling triptych, hope you enjoy it ;O) Love all the entries you have done!

Agreed, Marren your work looks great.

@ tomdart - nothing wrong with strangeness - good diptych
@ mansco - is that egg on the face? :lol: - like it

"The light at the end of the tunnel may be an oncoming train"

LOL... I did a photo to these fried eggs and with  the triptych idea it just looks like a smiling face. Glad you liked it koosie!

**mansco, I do like your smiling eggs.  Very original artwork. :)

Helle

Do we get two tries? Is that how it works here, too? This time, straight photography from a race to raise funds for cancer hospitals.

Great entries folks, here is my Diptych, called : "  tree "  . I was on holiday if I am late with my entry just ignore it.

Here is a Triptych from me. Title:  " green leaf "

@tomdart: you can put in as many as you want and every kind of prog is allowed.

Second triptych of mine titled: " Eclipse "

I'm really having fun and enjoying all your entries. This is my second entry, it's done with Apophysis and PSP. Hope you like it ;O)

Triptych Cloud.  This is photography, what I do mostly.  The graphic display is quite simple..you see, I did not have one to photograph.  LOL

Perspective was applied to the side panels but without seeing the original, that is dificult to discern.

@ Tom! I know how you feel about using our photography talent for these challenges. I find it difficult sometimes "create" something smashing and makes sure stand out work. You doing a marvelous job IMO. I realy got my eye on a running post and a cloud triptych is  looks great. Never thoght of using one picture and dividing it and playing with perspective, very creative, like a bay window view.

seeya  Tunde

 Hi,      All the entries are really good and different.This one is my second entry. I design and animate it  in after affects.This image is about imaginations.

I will be closing this challenge to entries on Wednesday, Nov. 28 at 23:59 Renderosity time unless someone tells me they have a really hot render going and need a bit more time.

I am really impressed by our entries this month.  There are some really fascinating images included here!

I love what you did with the gradient background on these, Gun.  They seem symbolic, too!

Thanks, glad you like it, and the symbolism gave itself with the flame I used. I am rather content with it myself, hope it is not to late to post it.

Gunsan @ : looks like a catolic cross and this composition is awesome ! The problem I have now, I maked my vote, I cannot change... or yes?

Val, I don't care so much about votes. I was late, it is my fault.
But I will put it in my gallery tomorrow, that is good too.
So don't care!

Hugs - Gun

Ok, I hope to be tomorrow for to see it in bigger size

I will be closing the voting tonight at 11:59 pm Renderosity time, so lets get those last votes in!

I'm so sorry gunsan.  This is an amazing image, but the challenge was closed several days ago and today is the last day for voting.  I hope to see this in your gallery.
