always loved this illustrastion (book is one of my favorite classics too!) and you did a beautiful interpretation of it rendering it in 3D. It's absolutely gorgeous. Love your other work so far as well!

Excellent work, Jayccarl01. You win this week's challenge. Hope you have an idea for the next topic.

Boring book but great work at recreating the artwork. It may yet be enjoyable since it's got a film adaptation coming soon.

This is a GREAT piece. Have you played the Great Gatsby game? It is a flash game styled to look like a NES game.

I'm actually reading the book for the English class I'm in... it's a very interesting book. The painting looks AWESOME, by the way. :-)

ah i remember reading this book in high school plus i watched the film which was not that great. this remake of the cover art of the book is excellent

Who ever made the cover of the book must have painted the carnaval scene in the background then let her/his autistic child draw a face over the top of it all.

Oh my! I loved this book when I read it in high school. I always loved the cover art as well. Something about it just draws you to it. And I had watched the movie for it too! Movie was terribleish.

Hmmm... I thoroughly didn't like this book. I prefer going back into old European books. I like the painting, and you can faintly see the women in the eyes.

this is a terrible drawing it seems pointless i like drawings that look like something!

It may have been addressed in the 7 comments I can't see on here, but was the author not F. Scott Fitzgerald?

Bowl, the author is indeed Fitzgerald, and I see now the poor wording of mine that led to your confusion. Cugat is the painter of the original artwork; that was what I intended to say, but it came out awkwardly.

To be honest, I hated this book
It just wasnt very appealing

I did like when it talked about the big blue eyes of the billboard, the eyes of god
