Ok

Interrogative: that is a c4d you used right, the balls?

and again takken, in just last piece of yours i told you that if you have to tell everyone what your piece means- blah blah.

I really wont digg the painted part, looks unfinished. Might boost it up with some more complex shapes and elements. Doesnt represent lust at all imo. Go for smoother blending when painting.

Um idk what more to say, but um for me this is not yoru best.

This is why I tell you guys repeatedly to click the link for Artist Comments. I don't do it for nothing. This is complete vector Buu. No C4D. All Illustrator. And no, I didn't use Blur. I used the Blend tool.


READ THE ARTIST COMMENTS! Not to be a prick or anything, I'm going to disregard most of what you said because its not a digital painting. Don't mean to sound like a jerk or anything.

Re-comment plz

Just out of curiosity, you said you used illustrator for the shapes, and then dropped it into photoshop for post-modifications. I'm just wondering why you needed to use illustrator if the end piece was going to end up being rasterized or if you were going to end up using photoshop anyway. To me it just doesn't make sense to use illustrator just because. If you're going for vector and you want to get the credit for working in that mode of design, you should definitely stay there and use all the tools at your disposal. Working in illustrator is different from working in photoshop in a lot of ways, and unless you're just naturally better with working in illustrator as far as creating complex shapes and wanting to resize them over and over again, it doesn't seem practical to not just start and end in photoshop entirely. Vector art cannot be defined as "vector art" if it doesn't stay "vector". Get what I'm saying?

Overall the piece is interesting. I like the color palette, and the shapes themselves are well defined. I'm not a huge fan of the focal point however, not that I'm trying to be a by the book kind of person when it comes to focal points, it's just that all of the elements seem very asymmetrical and making the focal point the very center of the piece seems kind of bland and boring.

If you want my honest opinion, this seems like a classic abstract piece, if anything. It has a theme deriving from the color scheme and the overall atmosphere of the elements. The drawback to abstract is that the theme can be so confusing that only the original author has any idea what it means, so when you're doing something like this you really have to be open to interpretations other than your own. That in itself is what makes abstract great, the ability to make one piece have a dozen meanings.

The only thing I didn't like was the lack of attention with the typo. I've always said that not every piece NEEDS typo, and the fact that you chose not only a standard serif font, but you also made it anti-aliased just seems kind of sloppy and unattractive. You could have totally come up with a neat way to involve the text in the piece and actually made it interesting. I think this really falls short in that aspect. If you're going to put effort into something, don't make it seem like you don't care by spending a whole 2 minutes adding text to it.

Hope I gave some interesting thoughts, I don't do this often so count yourself lucky.

I understand you Chris. Thanks for the tip. I planned to do some post work in PS after completing the piece because I felt I couldn't do it in Illustrator. I'm still new to both programs (despite having PS for a year and Illusrator for 7-8 months).

And thanks alot again old wise one! The thing is, I always try to keep my abstract pieces 'transparent', that is people can see through them and see my conception of them but I never thought of leaving them open to interpretation. I'll be definitely looking at that aspect from now on. And yeah you are right about the typo -.-' Usually when I import my Illy files to PS, I don't save the PSD and because I was lazy to go through post work again, I didn't feel like correcting the text, my bad.


Thanks for the critique
