It's great - but I the figures are getting a little lost in the other shapes you have going ont there - initially I didn't see them, I thought it was just a big piano...maybe make them larger?

niceee :) I really like the colours, and those textures too. Not really sure about the guitar though

Thanks, guys =)

Brian- I'm not sure what you mean by figures, the singing dudes?

Mr Pope- I think that's as big as it can be printed where I'm subbing it :/

it has a great feel to it, but needs way more going on in the central bit.

Oh man, you know I'm really digging your style.

I dont like the bottom triangle interfering with the piano keys though.

But dang it man.

Everything is lovely.

I think if you want to make it wider you could have more of the smokey tendrils. as in the green and orange parts coming from their mouths.. you could have more of them coming from lower down like out the sides of the piano, or maybe from the keys

   againstbound on Oct 21 '09 at 7:22pm
You girls are lovely.

And Kayce, the triangle is there mainly for compositional purposes, otherwise the bottom looks to stable and a bit boring. But you just reminded me that it was supposed to highlight the keys it went over rather than hiding them, thanks for that (gotta fix it!).

I had thought that as well, brendan, but it's supposed to be happy singing, so coming from anywhere else wouldn't make sense.

I might do a sort of equivalent for music coming out of the piano.

That might fix it :)

It looked a bit out of place but I understand the compositional blahblahness.

Its a nice design but i think its a bit too close to all your other submissions... The objects/shapes and lines you use are becoming very repetitive. This is fine and all, being that it is your style, but id like to see you apply your use of line/texture and little hands, feet and faces in a composition that is a bit out of your area of comfort.

Sorry - I should have said characters not figures - yeah the two dudes on the side of the piano. I feel like the overall visual weight of the piano is crushing them a little

this is great man....This style ought to get printed at least once here. I'd buy it.

Thanks a lot, guys! I'm currently working in what's hopefully the finishing touches of this, I'll post it up later.

Brian- I originally had them bigger but it felt abit cramped for those 2 to coexist there, and I kinda like giving a snes of hugeness tomy main element. And maybe I'm just being defensive, but I think the main focus point is not the big shape, but the play "button" in the middle, and from it your eyes move around looking at the details.

Eric- I see what you mean, but considering this is a still-under-develpoment style don't you think I should first make it than break it? Also, I try to try new stuff with each design, maybe not completely different from the previous one but even when there's clear similarities I think you can still see I'm trying new stuff if you pay enough attention (or maybe I'm just bullshitting you).

Man that was a long comment, I whould just have told you guys to fuck yourselves.
againstbound
   againstbound on Oct 22 '09 at 9:37pm
Oh, and my last 3 designs have been(at least partly) different from this one.

dude! I think the melty triangle moon could make an awesome design on it's own!

againstbound
   againstbound on Oct 22 '09 at 10:59pm
Ha, Ryan, I had thought the same, I might do a more elaborate version of it once I get some free time (and also big enough to be printed on it's own).

Thanks, Robotwaste!

Hi, Amelie!

Hola Hector! Hablás español? Está muy buena la imagen, aunque podría estar más cargada con esas formas locas. En realidad, esa es mi opinión personal. Así como está ya es bastante atractiva. Saludos!

I think the first one seems a little cleaner - maybe just keep the clouds up with the mountains? the moon is ace!

I love the version with the clouds! :) This looks fantastic, Hector.

squatterjohn
squatterjohn on Oct 23 '09 at 9:31am
I like the clouds but I'm not set on the triangle, because it shifts the placement of the main block over and I think it should be centred.
againstbound
   againstbound on Oct 23 '09 at 5:24pm
Thanks a lot guys, I'm aware that different people will like different versions of this, so I just went and subbed the one I liked most and hopefully please more people.

Y claro que hablo españól, Leandro, soy mexicano =)
