shattered dreams

[B][G K]

not really sure how i intended this piece to be interpreted, but i guess it's something to do with how useless violence can ruin dreams. i don't usually put a whole lot of meaning behind my work but decided to change it up with this one. i tried a couple effects i've never tried either. hope you enjoy.

kewl, is that a vector sig if it is nice vectoring.

[LANfest_00]

it's not what we'd expect from you :P
not that it's not nice :lol:, just unusual
I like the idea of the bullet casings in a tropical bg :lol:
very artistic...

LOL... Lanfest, that's supposed to be a winshield with a bullet hole in it. Very nice Big K. I like it A LOT. I would have changed the colors though, it does seem very "tropic"...

[LANfest_00]

Oh :lol:
well, now that you mention it... Now those white lines make more sense...
If it's a windshield tho, where's the rest of the car, or whetever the glass is in?
I guess it looked like like one those Cooke-Vacation ads, and i jumped to conclusions...

[undertone]

yeah, i thought it was glass right off the bat, but I dunno about a windshield...

looks pretty cool.

I Like it...how did you get the gunshot?

[B][G K]

actually i never intended it to be a windshield, but i guess it does kinda resemble one. i started out just cuz i wanted to see if i could make realistic glass. it began as a solid "pane" of glass, i then used the polygonal lasso tool to cut it into pieces and a one-pixel pencil brush to do the cracks.

p.s. has anyone noticed the peace dove yet? it's so symbolic, lol. :lol:

[undertone]

yea, i saw it, but it kind of hides in glass/ windshield :P

[Dr D-Mento]

well, okay, maybe not a windshield... but glass... Sorry I should pick ma words better. Just noticed the dove, nice touch...
