Description
Another illustration assignment, this time cover art for a book we like. So here is my cover for Neal Stephanson's Snow Crash. It's a great book, so check it out! Go, now!You can see this with all the title text and such over here: [link]
EDIT: One of the critiques I originally received on this piece was that the binary should have been done digitally rather than by hand. At the time I thought, oh well, too late now. Now that I've learned more about photoshop though, I was able to go back in and change just that!
Watercolor and digitally added static and binary.
13"x19"

Great workΒ I love the perspective with the city in the background and YT's outfit specifically.

yeah, i thought Y.T. was younger, and shorter. and Hero had a round face with leveled hair, no spikes. and the buildings could use some wacky colors, you know. but its the coolest still. gr8 man!

cool.
My thoughts on this are mostly for Y.T. for some reason. The outfit is awesome and she's really beautiful but I feel that you may have added a few years. maybe that's just because of the worms eye effect...

Just did a bunch of research for this book and you're spot on! Really accurate picture. Kudos!

I gotta love what's going on in the picture. It's so pseudo matrix punk samurai that I want to put it on my desktop!

Cooool. I love that book. YT looks just like how I imagined her! I like how the snow crash fades into the illustration, too.

Thanks! Yup, far as I remember, he's described as having short dreads. There may have been a 'spiky' somewhere in the description too, but I might just be making that up--it's been a while since I read the book.

One of my favorite books, and finally a great pic of it ^^

One of these days, I'll read it. I have it... somewhere. Nice illustration, too, particularly the angle on the woman.

Oh yes. You must read it. *nod nod*
Thanks! I just wish Hiro's (the guy) perspective turned out as nifty as YT's (the girl), but I think I messed up somewhere along the way (he was also supposed to have that leaning away feel). Ah well, another challenge for next time.
Thanks for the comment!
