Illustration Friday: "Sea"



Derek was saying that he tends to get a large amount of visitors after posting his Illustration Friday" drawings, and it turns out that he posts his at the tail end of the week, so I decided to give this one its own post rather than appending it to the previous post. I don't want Ray to take more of a hit than expected.

For my first attempt, not too bad. I guess. I thought that the word that I would be doing was "flavor". It turns out that word expired on Thursday. Surprise! Still, considering I didn't have a concrete idea when I started I think it turned out well.

I built it in Photoshop. I wanted to get a 'cut paper' feel on this one. You can click on it to see a larger version. What do you think?

Wow! I absolutley LOVE the layers look of this. Very nice vector work indeed. Also like the sun cut out of the frame and the barley visible ship bottom. More, please.

Derek: Yeah, just think, I could be a children's book illustrator! But that means I would probably have to give up all this. Oh, how could I?

Lois: And it's a bit easier than actually using cut paper. And much cleaner.

Heather: I know. So unlike me, huh?

Valgalart: Thanks! I'm actually not that happy with the waves. Not quite what I had in mind.

Tony: Thank you,

Sea Angel: Thank you. It's not actually "my style"; at least not yet. In fact it's quite a departure from my normal style. I'm working at it though.

El Sid: Thanks! I wish I was able to use my skillz for good rather than evil, but good just doesn't pay as much. Not that evil fills my pockets to bulging or anything.

Don: Well, thanks! And certainly! I'll stick to this style for a while.
