The wages of sin is...naked ladies!

Oh crap! I'm *so* disappointed! My piece is *so* not meshing with this. I saw the pixelated stuff, but it was only the edge of it - so I didn't think it was a major player in this scene - I went more with the soft circles and such.
The top three are *wonderful* though! Too bad mine didn't carry through!

I'm a new convert. Any time I'm assigned the first quarter, a nice simple still life photo is SO much easier than trying to Photoshop up some imaginary scene. Pick a nice background, toss on a couple of these and a few of those, click, crop, submit.
Shelly, looking at the bottom of snag's piece, I can see how you'd pick up on the soft greens and oranges instead of the pixelated guitar case. None of snag's purple areas reached into the bottom 15 rows.

Nice blend, nice flow...
Shelly's final is beautiful and moves in with the pixels that were handed down, and I'm going with amyc's thought regarding the wages of sin. :)
Good job all.

Ah well. At least I can say the word "dishabille" works with the theme - so at least my title isn't totally whacked.
I'll make myself feel better by thinking "naked ladies are the wages of sin. Naked ladies are the wages of sin."

I love the sword arm attached to the bottle of poison.

This tells a great story!

Grande Odalisque!
She seems to be reappearing in the corpse world--Turkish harems go with the whole gambling drinking theme

...and rock 'n' roll.

You are all mad. I think Shelly's piece works beautifully--very open and spacious after the clutter. Perhaps the purple from the third panel didn't carry over into the fourth, but the green from the first panel did. Woot.

Shelly,
You are being far too hard on yourself; It blends perfectly and offers all sorts of story telling possibilities, not to mention a visual rest from the chaos of the above panels. A good contrast.

i'm SO sorry FogBaron! This was my first cadavre exquise and i really should have focused more on giving you something to work with!
Luckily, you blended your piece in with the flames on the bottom of mine wonderfully, and it all ties together in a really cool way . . . it's like the beauty of yours is breaking through the excess and hedonism of all of ours. it's a great contrast . . . sort of modern vs. old, simplicity vs. excess, art vs. entertainment, beauty vs. vulgarity, purity vs. well . . not so pure ways of being, ha!
you're all awesome.
