Artist's Comments

EDIT: Thanks everybody who gave advice and tips, I tried my best to make it better and am now quite happy with it. :) I consider it finished now. [/EDIT]

Something experimental, inspired by that madonna video 'jump' which I really like.

This style of colouring is completely new to me, so I have no clue if this is finished or not. Advise?
It's driving me crazy and i can't choose: The sketchy, paintery style of the background, or the half painted, half cell shaded foreground. Some parts have lineart, others don't, it's a complete mixed mess.
So.. good or unfinished??

Again: this is a half succesfull experiment. Critique very much appreciated, but only on the coloring style: Im quite happy with the messed up perspective and composition.

I also kindof like Capricorn's face, and the sketchyness of Scorpio.

---------

From l to r:
Capricorn, the Gemini twins doing reckless stuff, Scorpio,

Originally I also wanted to include Cancer, but the composition didn't work. Im confused. See it here: [link]

Very nice! Good to see the gemini twins as well! Don't see too much of them. Love the sort of, 'casual mystery' feel to this piece. Keep it up!

I really like it, 'cept maybe not have the b/g so saturated.. I find it a little overpowering.

Haha, I love it. It looks beautifully styled, and I don't think it needs anything more. The composition is lovely as is. It has a great attitude about it. :D

I don't know about the rest of these people, but if they have a problem with it, screw 'em. It's deffinately good. I like the fact that it lokks as though it might not be finished even though nothing new needs to be added. You can always add somethings if you want to with it looking to out of place, or leave it as it is and it would be perfectly fine.

The only thing I don't really like is the composition, but you didn't wanna go there.. apart from that it seems to do everything it's supposed to.

I think that feeling of "unfinshedness" fits the style a lot, also I like how parts dont have line art and others do, and how the background and foreground are different, It seems that it helps me pay attetion to the characters rather than the bg :D I say keep the work up :>

i really like it just the way it is, i think the sketchy style fits it perfectly and i love the monochromatic tones. Plus, i really love your zodiac art!
