I like your style, although I do feel a bit sorry for the White Matrix!

Thanks a lot, it is my first submission so I am very excited!

I know, it's kinda harsh, but Mystery People don't have any reproducing abilities..Someone's gotta do it,eh?
Thanks for your tip on wine! Does vodka work though?

Now I feel sorry for the Mystery People too!

I think vodka would work, I'd encourage experimentation!

mmmm so pretty. dev +fav

this is simply amazing, i was blown away by it.

Thanks for the fav and for the kind words!!Made my day!!!

This is absoloutely amazing. As in, absolutely incredible. I stumbled across this in someone's favourites and have to say, I really, really like it. The way you control shape and form yet many times without use of a definitive line is incredible interesting and lends a really heady dose of style and originality to this. With everybody focusing on photo-realistic it's so great to see something looking so wacky and having so much fun!

As I said before your use of design is incredible, as in really amazing. It's unusual but eye-catching and incredibly well-implemented, you've taken a fantastic idea, with a lot of imagination and turned it into something that not only portrays it well but also looks very, very aesthetically pleasing and super-stylish. As I said before you don't tend to use lines that much, but prefer using block colours in your shapes, this and your very muted colour palette adds to a very pleasing look, it's easy on the eye, it doesn't clash, it doesn't overcomplicate, it just looks very nice. There's something to this technique that makes me go"" everytime I look at it, I'm not sure what does it but the combintation of these things make the piece look really soft, and really warm.

Your imagination is really incredible. "The White Matrix is big as a mountain. But its white and it cries a lot. It is constantly in pain because it gives birth to Mystery People. It can give birth only during night time, because that is when the Mystery Baddy sleeps." The way you've put this out through the picture is wonderful, it seems like a modern-day fairy tale, both visually and through the story. Despite the piece looking quite light-hearted it does leave you questions you want to now the answer too, who's the mystery baddy? What happens to the mystery people? Is it all just a mystery? It's odd, but even though i don't think it connects emotionally it really draws you in and makes you want more. It would be a fantastic storybook!

I'll also try and give some critique, please remember these are only suggestions I never want them to seem imposing, this is just advice for you to use if you want. Ifd you disagree with me go ahead! Only use any of this if you want to.

First of I think the idea of having white-matrixes on white-matrixes is nice but I feel it could be improved. At the moment they all look the same, by having them on the tentacles you've a great oppurtunity to give them new poses and new insight, i think you should use that oppurtunity a little more in the piece, just to add some more depth.

I also think the stars coming from the right eye get a little too big as they come towards the viewer and overpower the piece and obstruct it a little. I think if you could tone them down a very very small amount it may help, but I am not too sure on that.

Some of the tentacles look like a little oblong or square they look smooth, just a little jerky. I think that the middle tentacle, the small one on his head, could be a little more thinned out, but I think that's just me.

Incredible work, a fav and a feature in my next journal. Great!

Take care.

Man, what can I say..
First of all, I appreciate it loads for taking time not only taking a look at my stuff, but also writing such a great comment..
This is something miles beyond comments like "sweet dude lol", this is how REAL comments ought to be. You really put me in a trip right now.
First, i felt so good about the kind words you typed, then I took some time and I tried to confirm with my self all the flaws (perfectly justified ofcourse)
you tracked down. I really do think that comments should have a balance, and yours is spot on, mate. After all, thats why I share my work here in dA. To get feedback and get better.

So, let me give you a little insight about my style:

I don't know where all these weird things come from. I am being honest with you, I have not a bloody clue!!!
If i should try to explain it maybe the magic would be lost, so just let me put it this way.. I am just abusing my childish nature (being 26 years old means just facial hair and lots of responsibilities to me), trying to outweight my luck of skills.. I see people here so talented that scares the shit out of me..
I am not.. I have just found a way to use my "sketchy" art to my advantage, most of the times using a very strong narrative part (like weird ink people or the white Matrix) sometimes so strong that makes the viewer to take it in as it is, nullifying probably any luck of artistry..Thats what I want to think at least.

As far as my rendering style, I think its just how I ve learned to create in Illustrator. I am no authority, I have just learn some basic stuff which work well when put together. Again it is a disadvantage, but when used with the right ingredients like narrative, colour and composition it looks to u super stylish..
Thats very good to hear, but I am not trying-thats how I can utilise the software, thats my routine most of the times.. it just makes me very very happy, because I have always been harsh on myself and skills, but If it works as well as you say, then it serves me right

My colour, I am very proud of it. I bust my ass to get the tonal balance and relationship as perfect as possible, after all I said before, colour saves the day for me

Now about the critical part, your comments are more than welcome and kept in mind.
I agree with you on every single one, but I seem to jump from one style to another, thats why I dont seem to go back and fix things!!!
I just have to work really hard and get better, after all I only took up Vectors in the last three months. Before that it was just Photoshop, textures and multiply mode...hehehe.
That is really what caused my change of style..I wanted to stop emulating favourite artists, but to create something that looks original and cool.


Hope I gave something back,
I just have to add you to my friends list and check your stuff right away, coz you really seem uber cool.

After all, that was the best damn feedback I had after I left freakin' Uni..

Thank u is not enough to say, let me just say

I am much obliged for your kind words, keep in touch

and I ll be watching you.
