Thanks, took me a while to work around having to combine red and green. The most unholy of all colour combinations.

Glad you think so, red and green is such a dangerous combination and can turn out awful. So I'm glad you think I pulled it off.

And yeah I know what you mean - but definitely you did
a great job! Keep it up, I like your style.

oh that's so unlike what you usually do, but still very much you! (it's late, i'm allowed to phrase things awkwardly). it's also: awesome. it's got depth, but still has that signature flat look that makes it design-y.
and it's even jolly, in a clean-cut kinda way.

happy holidays.

AlternateRaiL In reply to BabushkaYaga [2008-12-12 05:15:37 +0000 UTC]

Haha thanks. Yeah every now and again I mix it up in style a bit. I'm glad I finally made you happy with the depth thing, yeah I really like this piece. It's not hugely unlike some of my older pieces, but yeah it's vastly different from the stuff I have been dabbling in lately.

Normally I wouldn't do something so... unashamedly affiliated, cause I think my designs and those sorts of messages should at all times remain separate, but it was for a specifically themed artpack. That's why it looks rather sterile in its "cheerfactor", because I wanted it to be a nice design first and a christmas piece second. There's so much potential for tackiness when it comes to holiday-themed pieces and I really wanted to escape that bullet.

Thanks for the kind words!

Thanks man. It was hard to get red and green working together well, but i think it works ok here.

Well done, Christmas themed stuff can often turn out tacky but yours is good.

Sweet! You got skills, bro. No doubt about it. How could you not win?!

Going threw your "solid" phase? I like how you experiment with all styles. It shows how much one can grow from pushing ones self.

AlternateRaiL In reply to Mafeo [2008-12-11 05:07:33 +0000 UTC]

Haha yeah changing it up again for a while. Bold solid colours and simple designs. Looking back at when I was dealing in a similar style, my stuff now is much better I think.

But I don't know, I think I'm going to mix it up again for my next piece. I want to make something in a similar mood to Geometrics again, cause that's one of my favourites.

Thanks man.
