Actually seeing the thumbnail of this picture on another site suddenly made me realize something:

The clouds, they look like WINGS.

"I've noticed you never use yellow," an acquaintance observed. They were right; I favored cool palettes; still do sometimes. So I made myself do this. Later on I ended up making a warm, sunny, yellow-centered color scheme for my website.

Color is weird.

I love how flat and vivid everything in your style is. It really pops out at you.

In this particularily; I like you're use of space, and the way that you slowly fade one colour into another. Pretty pretty pretty.

ooh nice style, I love the figure, especially the design on her (his?) forehead

Probably her. Though for all I know she has a small forest of tentacles and cilicia between her legs; the worlds in my head right now tend to be ones where gender's weird that way.

Mmm, very nice. Looks like she's moving in slomo.
I think one of my favourite thing about this is the contrast between large areas of colour/gradient, and then the lovely details like the twirl on her forehead and the foliage. Plus, she's cute.

Is the background blurred intentionally? It gives the impression of distance but kinda marks the lovely crispness of the pic, moreso on the edges of the clouds than the dome. Just a thought.

egypturnash In reply to hallu [2004-07-22 16:46:57 +0000 UTC]

Any blurring in AI is intentional! I did it to add some distance-haze, and to push the fg a little apart from the bg. I played around with a similar effect on the figure, but it didn't work - there were some technical weirdnesses, and she already has enough conceptual blurring going on with the gradient thing.

The clouds were, like, the third or fourth attempt at getting something in the far bg; they don't have much to do with my original sketch, or the directions I was originally thinking of going with them.

Quite good for just "fooling around" There's something I really like about this color combination. Its earthy, yet ethereal at the same time. The character is interesting as well, she's got a curius little "foxy" sly and sexy walk about her. Omg, now I'm hearing Jimi Hendrix's "Foxy Lady" in my head. I can't exactly explain, but for some reason I'm really emotionally identifying with this picture right now. Nicely done.

I think you might be on to something! Time to start a pay site!

This is really well done and I totally dig the background but... why that brown?

egypturnash In reply to potlan [2004-07-22 10:44:04 +0000 UTC]

Honestly, I'm not sure. It was a lot of different colors at different points, with utterly different bg treatments. But the shit-brown clouds just seemed to conjure up the right contrasts with the purple and the sickly yellow/green. It's a little heavy in the thumbnail, but at full size it really makes the hand gesture pop.

Illustrator 10 over a pencil sketch, six hours at most. I was fooling with some other things while doing it.

Thanks!
