About my design

by discojunkie
Hey guys! Here's my take on the theme "Animal Years". After the ice cap meltdown a great flood occurred, the next couple of years belong to the animals that were saved. hence "Animal Years" heh. Hope its not too far fetch!



I know there no way I can win any prize with my design, but I do hope you guys be generous with your comments. Good or bad, all comments are appreiciated. =) this is the only way i can improve my work.



Cheers!

Noah's Arc definitely was the first thing that popped in my head.

Cute.

Should've included more interesting animals, like Aardvarks or Goats, but nice nonetheless

it looks like all the animals ran out on deck to try and get away from the terrible sounds the human is making.

Too religious.

hey guys, yeah it was based on the idea of noah's arc when i thought of the "animal years". I tried to move the cabin of the ark to the side so that it won't feel exact like a Ark == religious...i was afraid it was too religious for a tee when i was doing the artwork..but i guess it still is....looks like i should come up with something more neutral.



and as for the more interesting animal suggestions, i did try to draw a goat..but it looked quite deformed haha.. so i replace it with a bird. haha



Thanks for the feedback guys =)

chillej - dont take it too seriously. it was meant to be a fun cartoon to emphasize one's music, not a standard religion. It may have been inspired by religious imagery, but nonetheless, entirely unreligious. I think it's adorable. $5.

OMGitsTinsel took the words right outta my mouth. Thank you! Also, this is a cute design, but the white thing could look more like a melting icecap, if that's what it's meant to be. If not... I duuno what it is.

OMGitsTinsel, you explained it better than I did and with few words. hee..thanks!



hforHello, the white thingy is suppose to be water(flood), at first i used blue to represent the water but it clash horribly with the silhouette figures..hence replaced it with white. more soothing to the eyes



jinx_tv, now that you mentioned it, it does look like the animals are running away from the man singing and the sheep is about to jump! haha..

An "arc" is a curve. An "ark" is a boat (or box or refuge, etc).

I think the animals are really cute. I love the way you gave them expressions with the design of the eyes.

I like it on the blue and the red, although the little guy in the window could use some adjusting.

Im not so sure about the guy in the window, but the animals are very cute.

hey guys! thanks for the feedback.



Looks like my biggest problem is the guy huh? well initially i wanted to draw the guy with a guitar(to represent josh since its his contest), but guitar + guy silhouette figure looked like freaky. haha.... so i changed it to guy with mic..



maybe i can change the guy into a monkey and the monkey is steering the boat.... will that be a better choice??

You & your monkey. Haha! But, this design's cute. I like it. Love those animals, but indeed the guy by the window looks abit deformed somehow. Perhaps you can try replacing it with a monkey? :D
