Info all by me -- Benh (talk) 18:15, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Funny that that the Flickr bot caught this on my Flickr page. Please "roast me" :) -- Benh (talk) 18:15, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Info And this is the place I tried to depict FYI. - Benh (talk) 18:17, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support I don't see any reason why we can't feature great user-made artwork, and this fits the bill. Cmao20 (talk) 19:49, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support Contemporary art is not something we see every day.--Peulle (talk) 20:13, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose While it's funny, there are so many derivate of The Scream and I'm not convinced this is the best. Some more original work from your brush would be interesting to see here though. --Cart (talk) 09:37, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose We have various versions of this scream created by the reknown artist (1, 2, 3, 4, 5...). I really don't see why a user's copy would be preferred. To be honest, I think this nomination is a decent painting, but really far from being a notable piece of art -- Basile Morin (talk) 10:09, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot for the reviews. I've to say I expected this outcome. So sorry for the reviewers. Hope you laughed a little at least. I was also wondering what kind of reception this gets. Like, does any personal art stand a chance not only here, but on Commons generally speaking? This was a pet project on an arts class I had every week at work. So I had like 1h each week to advance on it, and I didn't want to take the full year to complete it to try other things. So Cart I don't think u'll see much more from me... except that self portrait you might have noticed on Flickr already. - Benh (talk) 21:43, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Benh: Had a glance at your self portrait, which is in my opinion much better and more personal (although no clue at all if similar or not). By curiosity, why should have we "laughed" with this one? I suppose because of the file name, but this name can be interpreted two ways : 1) Poor man = guy painted, or 2) = guy painter. Right? -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:38, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I hope you laughed because I intended it from the start :) this was my first try with oil painting. I knew I wouldn’t come out with Orsay museum exposable material. So I tried something funny instead. The originals are really scary and convey very uncomfortable feeling. Probably not the case here. And poor man’s because it’s obviously a low grade version of the Scream. I don’t know what you mean by "similar" but yes the self portrait had different meaning and is quite faithful to reality. That really ressembles me :) - Benh (talk) 06:27, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, I'm afraid I didn't laugh at this one. Yesterday I laughed for something else totally different. "Similar", I mean "ressemblant" in French. Good if your self-portrait is -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:53, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
