The Kizhi Pogost Challenge!

Where: Lake Onega, Republic of Karelia, Russia
What: The Pogost includes the church of the Transfiguration, the church of the Intercession and a bell-tower.

Interesting facts:

  1. The original usage of the word "Pogost" applies to the coaching inn for princes and ecclesiastics. In the end of the 10th century pogosts transformed into administrative and territorial districts. Pogosts varied in size, ranging from tens to hundreds of villages in 11th—14th centuries. As Christianity spread in Russia, churches were built in pogosts.
  2. According to the Russian carpentry traditions of that time, the Transfiguration Church was built of wood only with no nails.
  3. The church of the Transfiguration is not heated and is, therefore, called a summer church and does not hold winter services, on the other hand the church of the Intercession is heated and host services are held from October 1 until Easter.
  4. In 1990, it was included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage sites and in 1993 listed as a Russian Cultural Heritage site.

GOOD LUCK on the challenge! Create for us some breath-taking Pictures of the The Kizhi Pogost for some awesome GA wins!

That is great! I like the use and lack of use of the contours, while still keeping them. Very imaginative. :)

All shadows are handmade, yes? Looks great! Gives it some more dynamics that would otherwise have felt a bit flat.

Imho, that's definitely bad idea. But we should wait for Jeff and Nordh.

A photo with just an effect on it will not count as colouring. It's not even following the lines correctly (but it seems like that is the photo they used when creating the dots).

If you were to tweak it enough so that it did follow all the lines properly, I'd be more lenient and accept it, because it's going to take some actual work, especially now that I've seen what it looks like beforehand.

Due to me scanning the image a few times with extra work, the different layers move slightly. I would've liked to make an animation with it, but do not know how.
