Artist's Comments

My final for my 2D Design class...last in a series of 6 pieces based on an animal (I chose the nautilus, cause it's just so darn cute)

Really the whole thing was a practice in working digitally without outlines, which I am so burdened down by. The whole project ended up being the jumping off point for my current method of drawing backgrounds for leveL, god help us :X

My concept is of a race descended from the Nautilus, building air/water ships to escape the sea into the promises of the sky. Yeah....GO NAUTILANS!

You have no idea how excited I am for this new awesomeness to be incorporated into your already crazy beautiful backgrounds :D

Like I commented somewhere on your leveL website: THESE HAVE TO MAKE A,EVEN IF IT'S QUICK, CAMEO. lol

What I definitely enjoy most about this piece is the color...You have a lot of syntilating colors and though you used alot of toned down colors, the most chromatic colors really pull the viewer's eye throughout the entire piece. Size relationships are pretty good and wow you must have had your hands full trying to keep track of where all the shadows would fall on each object!
Well anyway I saw it in person and it was awesome to look at in full desired format and it now hangs in our beloved CCAD halls so you know the judges like it.^__^

My summary: Good use of incorperating pink into your work.LOL :thumbsup:

LOL how much would they fit in....an offshoot of the Basin Dweller Society, but they rise above it all and make their way to the surface to prosper!! OMG, I am too much of a dork X)

The color was something I was really happy about with this piece...but I was sad that because I did it in CMYK (so it would print correctly) it isnt as vivid on a monitor.

I think really that the whole thing just shows how much I have to learn, but I'm glad your gonna be there at school to help me along to way :)
