They Might Be Giants has this song, "Twisting." It has nothing to do with this, but the phrase seems appropriate. This is based on a painting I did recently.

try without the planets

I did, it seemed empty.

Without the planet and sun.

Bah, something buggered up, my file doesn't have the messed-up blacks.

love it!

try it so the people make the shape of a curve instead of a staright line, might look more dynamic..

not too curvey, just subtly. bring thr 2nd smallest guy down a bit and rotate him slightly clockwise, and bring the smallest guy down untill it looks right

Joelnz -- I assume you mean on the v.2, without the planet or sun. The only thing is that the curve would be too incorrect scientifically, the drifter would be going in a straight line. As is, it's center of mass is basically on the same vector.



I'll try it though.

any other suggestions?

In my opinion, (feel free to disregard), you might want to clean up the lines a touch. There's sketchy because I couldn't do any better, and then there's sketchy because I did it on purpose. If you're going for sketchy, it should always be clear (in my opinion) that it was on purpose.



As for the planets, I liked better with than without. But with lots of similarly sized planets it can get cluttered. Perhaps you might want to experiment with just one large planet, or one large one with oneor more distant moons - just so that the design has a dominant focus. Just my thoughts though :) Keep at it ;)

Yeah, I was planning on churching the linework up a bit before submitting -- the comp I'm using only has Corel programs. I'll make it prettier in Photoshop later on. Just wanted to test the waters with the design.

the design is really cool, i'd try and make it look more like the spaceman doesnt want to be spinning (maybe an open hand reaching out anything to grab a hold on) because it seems like he's gonna just keep spinning forever.



o, and bring back the planets.



and i like the colors.
