Made for Round 3 of MT Knockout 2010: Nonhuman
focus, Art Nouveau style
"If they’re all art nouveau, it all boils down to what object you choose to
feature, how you do it, and how creatively you do it. I hope that gives you all some insight into why I chose such a
distinctive yet broad “style” and why I had to make the twist by featuring a non human. Be creative, and go
crazy!"
For a while now I've seen a good handful of Art Nouveau works on AP and MT, but then I'd never actually tried
out the style myself. Guess this was a prime opportunity? XD
Definitely a rigid style, with several key rules you have to follow. In an attempt to understand those rules, I googled
a bit to check out some traditional Art Nouveau stuff besides checking the wall examples kuroimisa suggested. I think I
got it down (I hope?).
I had literally no idea what to do composition-wise at first. So I waited and waited until the night of the deadline (I do NOT want to do that again =_=)...and just grabbed a scan I liked (of a nonhuman) and started vectoring in Illustrator. Everything you see is kind of a random tagging of whatever I felt would "fit" into what was looking like an origami, patterns, subjects-morphing kinda theme.
Also, I just wanted to note how friggen scary it was when Illustrator crashed on me and corrupted my file in the process, forcing me to spend a good 1-2 hours searching for a way to recover it.
It's too bad I didn't get to see an entry from dslassey (was kinda looking forward to it too ><). But kudos to Phoenix for stepping in as my wildcard opponent! ^o^/
// end ramble.

This is fantastic. The color scheme is lovely, and really adds to the level of awe to the already awe-inspiring image.
And it's my wallpaper now. <3

Lovely details on this wallpaper.
I can't believe you did this in Illustrator and I love the background especially the clouds. It truly is a magnificent piece of work.
The only problem is the font on the forest spirit's arm, it kind of ruins the whole epicness of this wallpaper.
I will definitely support you in your future walls.

Totally awesome. I saw this on the Knockout page and was blown away buy it! It's a unique color scheme, which I really like, and I LOVE nouveau, and you did a great job with it. And you win an award for getting it done when you waited until the last second to start it! Wicked cool.

this one is very uniqe^^ i like that there is so much from the the original in it but it doens't look overloaded.
I think there is a lot of text but i know when you don't make your signature into the middle of a wall it will get stolen without any credit for yourself. But you did blend the font in very well with the rest of the picture.
The only think i would say that doesn't match with the rest of the wall is the font Spirit nature in the upper right. -
