Artist Comment

a book cover i just created...
I used a reference photo for this yes, but it's a vector.
the theme has been bugging me for a awhile now as a global shut down... bringing everything back to the very basics... so I represented it with something very basic looking..
I hope you like it and share your thoughts...
Original size is 2550*3300 pix...

Enjoy and reflect...

    Dead of snow, see the mist
    For the tears turn into blood upon the fires we claim our burdens
    Guns of machines we cannot resist
    This nuclear winter the dead displayed like flowers in the gardens...

    Deadly and simple pic Dernier....love the vector mode set on it!

    I love the simplicity that extreme lighting & shadow brings. It says everything it needs to say without complex details or shading - wish I had a figure like that ;)

    Simplicity at hand! Can awesomness can ever be more simple? You got here a credit ;)

    the vectoring is very good. and your idea of nuclear winter with the image you used work well with one another. thanks for posting.

    Wow, it's stunning :D So simplistic, it really doesn't need any words. Hmm, the shading on her back looks a bit odd tho but it's not very noticable, it's just that I'm weird :pacman:
    Nice theme too, very different.

    Very nice job. Pure black and white is always a nice way of getting people's attention, and that's what a book cover is supposed to do, right? Haha. Nice job blencing attention-grabbing and art, that can be really difficult. Love the simplicity.

    Back to the bare essentials: scary thought. Has a definite solemn, desolate feeling... I like it.

  12. kaika May 25, 2005

    Simple yet elegant. Nicely done.
    When I read nuclear winter in my notifications I thought it'd be some sort of dusty dark wall. :P

  14. Skillzpay May 26, 2005

    heh yeah I was thinking along the same lines as Holt. was thinking you'd create some dark destructive piece. But this is still nice though, not quite sure how the female goes with the title but I suppose it works nonetheless.

    I like this a lot actually, but, if you decided not to smooth your vector line, you should probably consider less pointy and smooth font and maybe make the canvas a bit more square-ish, ie add to the width a bit on the left. Don't be afraid of empty space. :)

  16. Snipe3000 May 29, 2005

    Very well done. I hope to see more like it soon, keep up the good work, what program did you use?

  17. Bodhi Aug 23, 2005

    I love it... but most of all I would like to hear your views and theories on thi subject nice job
