Description Please full view, a lot of work has went into this

I've been working on this art trade for Tristan aka ~akme for the past few days now... I've really wanted to push myself that little bit more and come up with something conceptual and something he'd be proud to have on his wall.

This is a vector of him and his lovely son Jack.

Concept behind it... father meaning the world to his son and guiding him through life and the son lighting up his world.

I'm a very sentimental person so I hope this concept comes across well.

woow...when i first saw it i was like: um..okay...a hooded man steals a child... world under its arm...like taking it from him... the baloon...like a soul, very sensitive..the baloon could burst at anytime...the atmosphere so dark and depressive. I realy didnt think at a father and a son ... it scared me...

But obviously i missunderstood the message in your picture. Anyways an absolutely great work!

I totally thought the "father" was kidnapping the kid and taking his world from him -- venturing into the darkness.

Wow. I misread that message -_-''

Beautiful. The balloon is captivating to look at. One problem; the string is disappearing, it's so fine. You need to increase the stroke by two or three times before it'll read, and you need it to balance out the other whites in the picture.

ChewedKandi In reply to EranFowler [2009-04-16 04:38:01 +0000 UTC]

I don't understand what you mean... could you please explain it again. I'm sorry

EranFowler In reply to ChewedKandi [2009-04-16 04:48:19 +0000 UTC]

You used Illustrator, yes? The string tied to the balloon is too slender; I can barely see it, and I need to see it for the composition to work. Make the stroke on the path for your string larger, and the problem is solved.

ChewedKandi In reply to EranFowler [2009-04-16 04:56:22 +0000 UTC]

Ohhhhhh now I get it.

I wanted to make the string rather slim, if I'm honest I'd prefer it to not be as visible as it is now and I think when ~akme gets the vector file, I'll probably just recolour the string to make it less bold.

Although I can see where you're coming from, I'm sorry I do not agree with it.

Thank you anyway for taking the time to give you opinion on it though and I appreciate it

EranFowler In reply to ChewedKandi [2009-04-16 05:14:24 +0000 UTC]

No worries. I do know the feeling. Working with vectors, it's so very tempting to use scalpel-thin lines. Because you can. Your choice, of course. Cheers, dude.
