I'm finally done with the first of my sadness themed illustrations. I've had a lot of fun with this one! It's not due until next Monday but I figure I'll post it and see what kind of feedback I can get before then. Comments welcome!
Dude. You are seriously amazing. I think the plant in the corner is a little too distracting for not being important for the story. Nice colors. I like the price tags a lot.
Thanks man! Yeah something about the plant still bugs me. Everyone in class seemed to think it looked weird without it though. Maybe I just need to re-design the shape of it.
I love this one. I love the colors. It's almost soo vivid that I have just enough to look at, not to distracted by any ONE thing. Excellent work. ~Tom Doss
Yeah, I know that female betas are less colorful and more short-finned than their male counterparts. However I felt that to better communicate her "elegance" I elongated her fins and made her more graceful. I feel that she is "feminine" enough to pull it off.
Hey Mister Steve... :) You have yet to give me credit for the tags. You know you couldn't have gotten that amazing print on there without your lovely ME!!! I really like this one but it still makes me want to cry. Its so sad. I LOVE IT!!!
Alright, alright! Just so everyone knows, my loverly wife Michelle helped me with this illustration by writing out the lettering that appears on the tags. See, I wanted it to look like it was "hand-written" but my handwriting is awful. So, I asked Michelle to write it out for me. She is my ever-faithful sidekick especially when I need photo reference.
McKenna, There might be a few genes in there. But technically you have the same genes I do. It's what you do with them that will make a difference. Don't be jealous of my genes, instead be jealous of the fact that I work my brains out on my artwork. If you want to get good at anything that's what you have to do.

ReplyDeleteOne technical flaw...female bettas have short fins...unless that purple betta is suppose to be a male?
