About my design
by Kim456
I was thinking about pre-loved in terms of something having a former beauty/life.

In this design the character is giving us a glimpse of the the tree in its former glory....long ago....when it was loved.

Special thanks to Nice.s.t.e.e for the title!

Thanks also to all you patient critters who allowed me to annoy you throughout the development of this design...esp Brightwood whose suggestions and dedication to the crit process is truly awesome!

very nice... the contrast between the bubbles (3d-ish) and the bare trunk (flattish) is great.

Ok, I'm going to get deep:
I like the idea that through our own bubbles our worlds can be beautiful and full of life. Think of families that have very little but maintain a positive attitude and still love themselves and appreciate what they do have. I've tutored at a transitional housing school once and the kids were so positive, while well aware that they were technically homeless. In their bubble the trees had leaves, but from outside the bubble it was bare.

I loooove the concept, and the tree, bubbles, and leaves are perfection! However, not so sure about your little guy. I don't know, the green skin kinda turns me off. Oh well, $5 anyways!

But you did very well ;)

Me likes it! I gave it 4 points it was quite interesting and artsy (perhaps not so esthetically pleasing more interesting in my opinion), a 5 would be something I would have bought myself.

PS. (I wonder what technique they will use when printing it - they probably have a way for it, as they approved it. )

The kid seems kind of flat and 2D like the branch sans bubble... makes me wonder what s/he would look like if a bubble were partly over her/him. Very cool, love the colours and the bubbles and the concept!
