Description
Ok, so I actually initially drew this flipped the other way entirely, and decided last minute to flip the canvas. Any thoughts on if it might work better the other way?For Illustration class

It's good like this. It has a left to right energy, which a lot of us are used to.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking when I flipped it. That is how I ended up keeping it and printing.
Thanks for the fav by the way man, I really appreciate that.

Thanks man, i've been working pretty hard (still not quite as hard as I should/can though...)
and yeah, that whole year I spent in germany I checked up on no one, so I haven't really been looking around as much as I should. Been looking at your stuff lately, just don't have much crit or meaningful commentary to add to it.

thats awesome! i love the concept and the detail is amazing!

Ya know, it might look good the other way too,
but I really see no problem with this piece the way it is.
I'm very impressed with the detailing of your design
and can't help but love the watery, full strokes.
The scene reminds of old vintage fantasy films
of alien attacks on earth, so that's a neat appeal.
Good job overall, I don't see anything I'd change.
OH, actually I'd add a border with a signature on it,
but that's just to add a bit of a professional appeal.

Very original artwork!!!! I love the colour spreading and the mellowing of the colours, I find it vibrant and with striking poses

Sorry I didn't post a comment for so long, but still, keeping my promise even if I didn't have to.
Silver Bot: Great design, simple but it works!I totally love the Eye laser and scissor hands the most!
Box Bot: Ha it's so funny, I wish this was a movie, it'd be fun to watch him tumble down
Kid and Background: The boy makes it funny, just cause it's like, his imagination or him drawing it how he sees. The background, just wow, I mean it's got so much detail, even the smallest structures got lines in them!
Great work

Thanks, yeah, the background probably took the most time out of any of this

Love the colors.

AHHHHH This is amazing, I love the idea and everything... LOVE LOVE LOVE. I think this is definitely the right orientation... I didn't look very much at the picture when it was small, then maximized it... looked at it from left to right, and was soooo happily surprised to see you sitting there drawing the big ol' robots (which then drew my eye back across the picture, it keeps the eyes on the page). It just made me very happy. The other way around wouldn't have been such a fun surprise.

Yeah, I decided in the end to stick with it. I had to figure it out before I printed it, and it had to \be printed by 3:30 today. Now it's hanging all pretty like in the display case
Glad you liked it so much (very glad)

Love the concept, love the final piece. Alot less flat than your similar works (which suits them, but for this the style works quite well)...the fact that the style is more realistic makes the content even more crazy.
I like the canvas flipped the way it is, but it would work either way.

I decided in the end to stick with the flip. It makes the image read right to left, top to bottom, more natural for the eye - focuses better... if you're going to logic it out.
otherwise one could simply say - it looks better this way.
Thanks for the kind words - I'm trying to get better, mmm hmmm

I think the line of action is better this way, personally. I wouldn't flip the canvas back. But dude, the idea on this is excellent. XD I love.

and yeah, I agree about the line of action, that's the logic behind the flip

It's good. I'm starting to take your absurdity more seriously. The context and perspective are both sound, and the atmospheric perspective effectively grants dimensionality.
Did you give yourself brown hair so not to draw attention? Do you think of your archetypal self as with brown hair?
The content is not so that I grasp any particular meaning, but it is stimulating and does have an exciting energy to it.The obliteration is nicely executed. As such, often, it's the imaginative stuff that makes illustrations worth-while.

I gave myself brown hair for both of those reasons actually. It wasn't really a concious decision, I just blocked it in that way without thinking and kept going with it.
and as far as content goes, I think that's about as far as this is intended to go.
