Azvareth Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Yeah. Decided to try my hand at vector... or whatever the hell the method I use is called. This idea actually sprung first to mind during my last week's stay in Gran Canaria; as I was listening to Nightwish's masterpiece "Dead Boy's Poem", I thought to myself that it's so good it deserves to be made into an image (and yes, my insane addiction to said band is not healthy). So I went through and planned the details in my head, and promised myself I would start making it as soon as I got home. Which I did. The first scrap I made of the image didn't turn out very good. So I counsiled with the friendly ColAvanor (thanks a bunch!), he gave me some pointers and tips how it could be executed better. I made the changes. But still, not even 1/4 of the image was finished - so, because I used my school laptop, I worked on it in school. My classmates helped me a great deal (not with the effects. Rather how I could make some things even better). And... well... it took a fair amount of time to finish... which I will not utter here, as it's pretty sad to think about. But let's just say it's a two-digit number. ------------------------------------- As you might see, some things are off, not symetrical etc. But I made that on purpose. It's meant to look distorted and sort of twisted. You may comment and rate. However, I will not change anything in it. Every single pixel represents my thoughts and feelings about the song. It's my interpretation, thus it cannot be inaccurate or wrong. Enjoy! At first, it was meant to become a sig (though, not on these forums), but as I cropped it down (since it's so much easier working on a larger canvas) it didn't look all that great. So, I'll either use it at Voltage, or it'll just be another addition to my indy art folder. :P That would be all. :) // Azvi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brammy7 Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 pretty good, the lighting/shading could be more realistic and better though DeviantARt - http://brammy7.deviantart.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blarrrg Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Yeah, I agree ^ the 2 table legs' shadows are going towards each other, whats with that? They should be going in the same direction... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstreaEvania Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I like it but it's a little hard to tell the n's from the m's, thus making it harder to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azvareth Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 As you might see, some things are off, not symetrical etc. But I made that on purpose. It's meant to look distorted and sort of twisted. Yup. Anyway, thanks. // Azvi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColAvanor Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I would have fixed the shadows...at leas the ink bottle. And well, however you play the "I liked it twisted like myself" -card I think at least the ink bottle could be drawn from the right angle. But glad if I could help with the legs and the table at least. :D The new moon thingy is more subtle perhaps better than my mega supa glowy killer moon. :wink: . When I saw it the first time (the version with the window) the colours struck me as great. They still do. It's a thing a rarely can make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonorhc Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 It's an extremely well-done expression of a troubled, unhinged person - if that's what you were going for; I've never actually heard the song myself. I like the type of art that makes the audience stop and think, "Hey, wait a second, there's something out of whack here."

Keiphus Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Wow... uhh.. I was gonna start critiquing this, until I read that you weren't going to change anything anyway... so why bother. :roll: Another great post by yours truly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korla Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 i love it :D and it's pretty cool that either the table stands on an incline or the house is above the moon. gotta hear that song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
