What's on the drawing board? 🎨🖌️

Brevity is the source of wit, alas I'm long-winded.
I found the SHORT version of the Picasso-Chicken-Woman joke:

A woman approached Picasso in a restaurant, asked him to scribble something on a napkin, and said she would be happy to pay whatever he felt it was worth. Picasso complied and then said,​
​
“That will be $10,000.”​
​
“But you did that in thirty seconds,” the astonished woman replied.​
​
“No,” Picasso said. “It has taken me forty years to do that.”​
 
I had this on the drawing board, but couldn't come up with a design that I liked. I found this image on Weird Medieval and I thought it would be hilarious for Chuck's Bass Klon. I tracked down the source image from an archival site and maybe someone here can come up with a fun way to use it. All my attempts at vectorizing it produced pretty lousy results, so I thought about redrawing it or just trying to submit it as raster, but in the end I think I liked the idea of it more than the actual visual appeal of it. Regardless I had to share because so much about it is perfect for a Klon of some kind.

I think it's doable in the Klon outline style and would be totally awesome. Fantastic idea man!

Glad I got my 6 in before you. Sheesh!

Also you should post some pics of these so we can have some references of their colors! A lot of these I've never seen off their site.

Looks like the drill jobs on the two I got drilled are done, and the powder jobs are all done, just pending Uv printing. Pretty impressive since it only submitted yesterday. Yours are probably close to done too

@UtilityBeltFX Question. When I zoom in I can see that this is vectorized. Did you do this with Illustrator? If so does Illustrator take care of making sure you don't have overlapping shapes? When I vectorize with Inkscape and I don't do it "stacked" it looks like crap with tons of gaps, but doing it stacked means that there are overlapping shapes everywhere and Tayda says not to do that. Cleaning all that stuff up manually is a huge pain in the ass if you did that here, my hat is off to you.

I did do this in Illustrator, and honestly yes there are overlapping shapes. Sometimes there are some gaps and I do go in and clean those up manually. However I submitted something like this before and they printed it with no problem, so I think they're just hoping you won't use too much of their ink with overlapping shapes. (Full disclosure I don't actually know how UV printing works.)
