Description I really love the idea of a symbol in electronic bands, given it's genuinely stylish and not trying too hard. Justice's iconic Cross is one of the coolest so far in my opinion.

Of course the genius aspect of taking this image as a symbol is that it's already instantly recognisable due to being popular for other reasons. However they gave it a completely different persona simply by making it all about light and geometrics.

So there's something really intriguing about it simply because your brain tells you it doesn't belong there.

Anyway this is just some, well, i guess you could call it Justice fan art using their symbol.
I'll get tired of this colour combination eventually, but right now it just works with everything.

There's a big fight going here, my brain is saying yes, and my eyes saying ..."whaaaaaaat" ..There's many perspectives angles in this and and ..... Man this is toooo sick. .

I like how u come up with this and the colors combination are really awesome too ..

Thanks dude. This is actually the sort of thing in my gallery that I look back on and say "this is too simple, I should re-do this" but it's not really in line with my current style anymore. Maybe I'll get around to it, but probably, I won't. The whole mix perspective thing was initially just an accident, but then I realised it could create a cool illusion so I went with it.

Cheers. Not sure if the glow would come out that crash hot but if i changed the effect to the single colour that's actually on the album cover it may look slick. I just don't have the mechanical means to do so unfortunately.

Hey glad you like it. But isn't it like, 2am there? Haha don't you sleep? Yeah it's always good changing up your icon once in a while. I generally do it when I alter my style significantly.

I'm in Perth so it's only 12 here, the night is young. I'd tell you to watch me and see my style change but I upload things very sporadically these days due to my computer dying. Any work I do is done at uni basically. And i just found out i'm going to end up getting that bloody $900 from Rudd so life's fantastic at the moment. It'll be a while before I start uploading again regularly.

Yeah I love the dimensions for this piece, i'd love to take the credit and say this was planned but in all honesty I stumbled upon the fact that it worked both ways and went with it.

Not so much Justice specifically. Just the shit hot electronic bands out right now in general. It basically influences all my design. Design and music are my two favourite things. Thanks for the comment man.

Monoxidepr [2008-12-19 17:36:18 +0000 UTC]

very nice piece. This kind of work keeps the spectator wantin for more because its interactive and it forces you to be part of the piece without the person itself realizing it. really nice job and concept. I love the color combination. fits really well with the black blackground.

AlternateRaiL In reply to Monoxidepr [2008-12-19 17:41:00 +0000 UTC]

Yeah it just came to me. I wanted to do something using the Justice cross, and i couldn't work out what perspective to choose, so I did both. Yeah kept it really simple just like the album cover. I think I may come back to it and add some extra glow in places to make it a bit more dynamic. Thanks for the comment man.

nyxiathewarrior In reply to AlternateRaiL [2008-12-02 19:34:07 +0000 UTC]

Something like that. It doesn't seem right because it's an optical illusion. One wall of the 3-dimensional object appears to be opposite from the rest of the shape in terms of concavity and convexity; depending on which way one looks at it.
Very clever, I must admit.
