hahaha.... love it ooo... that's an instant classic.
Very nicely done visually too.
Need to get into this style as my drawing isn't up to snuff.
How inspiring. Muse.

P.S. Is that a HGTTG quote?

I'm reading it right now and remember the part where Art finds out the truth behind mice. Just wondering...

Ohboy. No, it's not, (at least I hope it isn't) but I really need to read that book. Or, rather, the series. I'm thinking of the bigass volume with all of them in there...

But yeah, they're my words then. O_o

Yeah thats the one I have, the big 'Trillogy in Three Parts' book that has the whole sh-bang.

Yeah I don't remember a quote like that in the book, but then again, I forget a lot of things too...

What a fantastic piece! I love how you stylized the clouds - it was the first thing that caught my eye on your page (being the featured deviation and all).

The colours used are just wonderful, and the range of colours (all 4 of 'em) is perfect - so minimal.

I think the text you placed with your image is great. This would look awesome as a super-huge print on my wall...

for sure!

interesting composition~

just a couple of small suggestions
i think the explosions in the background take away from your main focus, maybe making them all the same style of 'poof' (for lack of better words) could help

and also the body text you have, i would suggest not cutting off the words and wrapping them to the next line
it might work if you fit it all into a sqaure, rather than having the last line only 'ure.' makes it less legible

but overall a great piece
i really the perspective with the 'one way' text and the face-less/hand-less dude (foreground)
nice use of gestalt~

strangemuse In reply to sub-stance [2005-03-28 17:13:51 +0000 UTC]

Well, I originally created the poofs as a method of framing the image, but as it turns out they did a better job of creating balance. The focus of this one besides the leading lines is prettu ambiguous so... I'm going to leave them as they are.

The "ure" at the bottom of the text bugged me too, and I tried a lot of ways to make it fit in with the square but they didn't work out any better. I like the words too much to cut any out. Now that you point it out though, I think I'll come back to this and give a shot at having the words not wrap around.

Lol, I'm not going to pretend I knew what gestalt means, but after looking it up I'm impressed.

Thanks for the awesome comment!

Hey, nicely done... and thanks for the consideration too. The scrunchiness of the "complex experiments" line still bugs me, but you've given me an idea... I think I'll go give it a shot. Thanks!

Fantastic. Second job too, that really is amazing. You keep doing this vectoring, because I'm sure you'll knock the socks off of us. (Although it's not like you haven't, already ) Well you'll knock more socks off of us!

If I sound like an idiot, forgive me I'm high on fructose. O_o
