About my design

by bco003
As a child, there was this sense of sheer joy at the playground where slides became castle moats, jungle gyms were secret caves, and swings became catapults into the open sky.

Growing up, there was no limit of what you could be, just free as a bird.

Flyman96: I'm glad you pointed that out. I think that aspect of the design also goes along with capturing childhood, where kids don't necessarily think before they leap :)

i like the idea a lot, but if the design were less cartoon-ish i would like it even more.

Flyman96 it doesnt matter! you're invulnerable at that age - in her head she is flying, when gravity takes over, she'll gracefully fall onto the grass, bump, roll and laugh like a drain! $5 - perfect essence of childhood - awesome

it totally doesn't matter about the gravity. that makes it better. don't you remember being a kid? she has rocket boosters and an anti-gravity hairbow. (i was always jumping off stuff and having to rediscover gravity as a kid. haha!)

Stellar concept, the drawing just seems a bit Hallmark card-ish to me, but in another style this would be really great.

Love the concept!



Would like the design more if both of her arms were visible. It looks a bit awkward without having some part of her right arm showing

Thanks for the feedback! This design was intended more for kids, but it would be cool to try a different version with a more illustrative style. Something more whimsical...



Yeah, looking at it again, having both arms visible would've helped convey the "I'm flying" feeling a little more. Thanks for the suggestion!
