Description Well~ here is my first idea for my promotional postcards. I had a hard time picking what girl to use, so I combined two! I decided to do this rather than something completely new, because I have read over and over again that its a bad idea you end up thinking too much about it. I want something simple, but eye catching....I hope this does just that. Contact information will be on the back of the card, still have not decided if I will spring for two sided color prints or single O_o Also, I left the bleed lines on this.

anyway, tell me what you think! Anything I need to add, move, get rid of, I want to know

Personally i would like to see it without the bleed lines as i have to admit i kinda like the way the bleed lines look as a decorative border.

I do have one comment though regarding the anatomy and that is that the back arm from the shoulder to elbow is fatter than the front arm and also the back arm is from shoulder to elbow is slightly longer as well, although could get away with this one. and i guess since this is the same body as the retro crush image i will have to say the same thing about that one aswell

Apart from that I love it, especially that dress design, maybe down the line once you are a popular and hugely successful illustrator you can start your own label

oh man, I really like this idea for a promo postcard. I think that this particular image embodies the type of work you do and the fact that you added the little hearts describing your work also helps. great color usage and I like the expression on her face, it's so cute!

I wanted to ask you, how do you come up with the ideas for your illustrations? I know you draw them but do you usually use an image for reference or do the ideas just come off the top of your head?

You have a wicked style! Great job and I wish you lots of luck!

wheeeew~ I was wondering what you would say since you are a graphic design student I wish I could have taken more classes in it so I was not so iffy about text O_O heh heh heh
I'm glad you like it I'm feeling much better about shelling out the cash to get these things made now

as to how I come up with my images, well I combine and mix. Sometimes I have a doodle that I like and just go with it! Other times I have the idea in my head, snap a photo, and then do a sketch with the photo in front of me colors, clothing and patterns I get from random things that inspire me
ooo~ did you ever upload that illustration you wanted me to see?

mynxx In reply to Blush-Art [2006-08-24 14:21:57 +0000 UTC]

well, whatever you do, keep doing it! I know you are not the only illustrator that does this style but I find your art so refreshing and young.

You know, I find it a great compliment that you would value my opinion that much, thanks! hehe *starts to blush*

I really try to give my honest critique and not just the generic "that's great" all the time. I know that's what you need and I would expect the same from any person in our profession!

well, this is "simple yet eyecatching"! I would have a little more shading.... but otherwise it seems good enough to me!

Very nice, I love the design and the colors used. But I agree with Unibomber703, That teal border seems way to vibrant and takes away from the image. I would try a more bland color so it does not distract the viewer from the main portion of the picture.

Blush-Art In reply to gxshadow [2006-08-23 03:01:50 +0000 UTC]

thank you too actually the teal border is the bleed line I was talking about in my info

Nice, it certainly conveys the femenine feel. The picture looks great, too. Also, I like that you didn't use a crap stock font.

Unibomber703 [2006-08-23 02:51:55 +0000 UTC]

It looks great, the only thing i can think to change is possibly tone down the teal border, it's sorta distracting. But besides that, great job.
