Description
Prints available hereMy professor opened my final art piece and the artist examples I turned in with it. They all came up zoomed out to see the entire picture. Tobon stopped, leaned forward to peer at his laptop screen for a moment, and then said, "Ok, let me just figure out which one is which..." before madly zooming in on every piece.

Wow.
The only problem with prints being available is deciding between them. D:

What's the creature that has his/her face hidden there?

It was supposed to be a dragon as the original idea was an 1890's style ad for Maya, but it's a phoenix or something now.

nice mosaic tiles. and I love the color of the lady's hair. It's so vivid and bright. Not really wild about the brown background color, but it fits the piece nicely. another great piece of artwork as usual.

You know what? When I look at it lately the brown doesn't do it for me either. Hmm. *chinstroke*
<3 But thank you again.

Ooooh beautiful! I could tell this was inspired by Mucha from the thumbnail. I really love how you took his style but made it your own. Well done

X3 I still feel like I didn't catch all the elements that make a Mucha poster so recognizable, but ah well. Thank you much, it was a delightful project.

I love this art style, even if I never can remember that it's called Art Nouveau instead of Art Deco. *duhhh*
The background texture and mosaics are a really nice balance to the overall simplicity of the lines.

There's nothing much new in it, really. I haven't done shit these past weeks but work and Pokemon (and DA, I guess).
π: 0 β©: 1
:3 Yeah, but there's still neat old stuff in it.
Only reason I've got new stuff is because I've been ADD during classes and shite.

Don't know how you feel about it, but I love this style of artwork. What's it called, and what time period is it from? It smacks of early 20th c. Tiffany type stuff.

^_^ You're so right on. This is art nouveau, more specifically, the particular style of Czech artist Alfons Mucha. His heyday was roughly 1890 to 1910, and he's well known for the advertisements and Sarah Bernhardt theatre posters he produced. Louis Comfort Tiffany was one of the premiere American artists to utilize the tenets of art nouveau.
All the Art Nouveau/Arts & Crafts artisans rock my socks, if you must know. Oh, and if you're interested in architecture or furniture in the art nouveau style, you really must look up Hector Guimard (most famous for the ~20 or so Metro entrances that decorate Paris still) and Victor Horta. Geniuses all.

Bwaaaaah, it seems that you are good at drawing everything! Gotta love that sepia-like colour palette you have used.
I have two Mucha art-posters on my walls. I'm a big fan of his! I gotta say that your peace gives glory to him too! Total faw!

X3 thankee for the vote of confidence, but I'm only good at drawing that which I have references for. Truth tell? The original before I tweaked it was much richer in color - I'm thinking about uploading it too, just for comparison, but I'm not sure yet.
What I wouldn't give to find some Mucha posters lyin' around fer cheap...

Hey, don't say that! I use references too sometimes. It's no big deal, everybody use them at some point! They are great way to learn, trust me.
The original peace perhaps was richer in colour, but do you really use that many colours in one work? Muchas style of using colours is unique, and so is your style! It's hard work to mix two different styles. I know I couldn't do it! So score for you for making this out so great!
Heh, well the posters I have weren't exactly cheap... But I knew, if I wouldn't buy them I would regret it!

XD hey, you should see my Morguefile - I'm currently on like my sixth CD full of images, all collected myself. References are for the WIN. (plus at school we get shot so hard if we don't use references ^_^;
I wouldn't say perhaps that I used a lot of different colors. I eyedropped solely from Mucha's pieces, and because I've not done serious color studies (you know, looking to see what actual colors make up a piece rather than what colors it LOOKS like make up a piece) I grabbed the most vivid, pleasing colors from his Nestle baby food ad and the Gismonda Bernhardt poster to use. Because of that the overall piece was much more saturated, and didn't have that kinda sun-faded look a lot of his ads and posters have. ^_^ Trying to imitate his style when I'd just sunk into mine on the previous two pieces definitely qualified as 'interesting.' '
XD I so know what you mean. I have this giant poster of Einstein on my door I had the same thought about. It had the most priceless quote and facial expression on it. "The difference between stupidity and genius is that stupidity has no limits."
