Artist's Comments

Some illustration for a R&D project we were working on at the studio. It got canned the other day and the head of the studio was nice enough to let me post my work here. I did this one a year ago and I think my skills have improved a bit since then...

Comments and critiques welcome and appreciated.

I think I might have over done it with that Hue/saturation tool...

oops.

It looks so cute, it almost makes me forget about all the damn bugs biting me and eating the heads of their mates. Friken mantis's. The hue looks fine, it either looks like dawn or dusk, well like the sun's barely up or something. I have to ask why there are fish in the spray bottle. If i had to critique anything I would say to sharpen up the glares on the magnifying glass. They seem a bit to soft for an exact cut piece of glass. But that's nitpicking :)

Glad you like it. The fish are in the spray bottle because fish live in water, and where theres water theres fish.

All and all I'm not too happy with this one. The line work kinda sucks. I did it about two years ago and I liked it a lot back then... now I look at it and, meh.

I don't ever go back to my old art...something about it just makes me want to break my fingers. Kudos to you for the attempt at it.
