Cool piece, but I can't say it's my favourite.

Whilst the background may suit the actual idea of monotony itself, I feel as though you're trying to articulate something that's something to do with "a lack of life", and the background didn't reinforce that idea to me. Otherwise I like the rest of it.

Another thing on the background. Is it just me? Or is the background picture one of those "magic eye" things? Because I spent about 5 minutes staring at it and got no results except my eyes starting to get irritated.

Nope it's nothing like that. Just some random points and lots of layers. I tried to create a rough texture, like an old, worn out wall of a dark room. Then again, i wanted an order, thus the pattern. Not vey happy with bg either but meh.

Thanks for the crit, you're awesome.

Really cool work. It's not just a figure we see on top of that pile, it's something we can see ourselves in. It has character. Then there is the awesome composition and the suitable colours. I don't know much about vector art, but a lot of it seems cold and calculated. It's good to see some that is as expressive as this.

Thank you for that comment, i really appreciate it.

And yes, the other day i showed some of my vector work to the students at my uni. They all said that they're not vectors, because "vectors are meant to be clean and smooth". That's a stereotype that i would like to change.

Well, it's just, having nothing to look forward to, you know? You get bored, you start doing useless things and at a point you don't even know why you're doing it, then you ask, are you doing it or if something is making you do it? In this case, is he piling up the little boxes or are the little boxes piling him up?

Hope that made sense.

another deep piece great imagery, meaningful, and i like the busy background, sort of like the chaotic busy background of life. while the poor fella builds up a relationship with blocks that could topple at any moment. this is how i interpreted it anyway nice work

shutdown In reply to dypsomaniart [2005-10-19 07:30:28 +0000 UTC]

Hoo, i love hearing other peoples interpretations!

Although i wanted to play more with perception in this one, is he building up the boxes or are the boxes building him up, that kinda thing. Although i do quiet like you're idea Thanks man!

Yeh, i wanted the background to represent some kind of a dark dirty room. You know, with writing and stuff on it, someting that's hard for the eye to look at. Thanks for the crit though!

Well, i never edit my work, mainly because i like to see a developement, if there is any and secondly because i'm lazy

But thanks again, i'll keep that in mind, for my next piece

that's a shame. what prog do u use to do ur work? _can_ it be edited fairly easy?
it's good that u keep things in mind for future work, just seems odd to want advanced criticism (not that what i said was in any way 'advanced' or 'criticism'), but, u know

shutdown In reply to kickingandscreaming [2005-10-19 08:08:52 +0000 UTC]

Well, the advance crit is helpful for my "future" work Since i kinda have the same kind of theme everytime.

And, i use Illustrator for these, and then i save 'em as jpeg, then run photoshop to get to the correct size and frames and bla bla. Sometimes, i forget to save a file in Illustrator and only save the jpeg, therefore i lose all the layers. But yeh, it would be easy, but i'm just tooo lazy

kickingandscreaming In reply to shutdown [2005-10-19 08:19:28 +0000 UTC]

grrr, i hate that too, forgetting to save the layers
soooOOooo much work, just to end up with a crappy jpeg
there should be an autosave feature
wait... there prolly is
*runs off to find it
ps-great work for illustrator. i orginally thought many of these were drawings...

i've got a piece of artwork in the making, its not cartoon like, but its of a like.. urm.. robotic angel.. thinking maybe an army of them, in some industrial scene.. or maybe just one solitary one, in the darkness, you'd have to see my sketches to understand, i'll probably upload them tomorrow or something for all of the word to see what comes out of my twisted little mind
