Description Probably one that is not that open to your own interpretation - but i'll leave it to you. Just in case you're wondering; That's the old French TGV, a building, a satelite, a red rocket (note the puny NASA logo and the tip of one of the vins down-left), a plane, a cruiseliner and the fastest car on the planet; Thrust SSC.

This is by far the one I am most proud of. I'm a HUGE fan of old cruiseliner advertisements, in fact I have one hanging on a wall in my room. I love infrastructure and I'm a big Transport Tycoon fan as you might know. This image was completely constructed in good old Photoshop. It resulted in a 47+ megabyte .PSD file. I hope you will love as much as I do this one, it's also the one that took far the most time. Aside from The Idea with it's DD status, this one is my own fav so far

Note: as I find 'visual' poetry to be 'visual'. This is pure visual, meaing no written word. Read my other dev's to find out more details.

Nice blocky layout with a weird perspective really gives this piece a sense of, as the title says, motion. Again, (and again ) great work.

Thanks man You're the one who stimulated me to continue it with the DD. I'll make more in the future but right now i'm focussing on pixel art (and story writing in my journal) again, I am making the Life pieces available through DA Prints though

Thanks again man!

Well I might skip vector art for just now, focus on some other things like pixel art again and some story writing

snowunmasked [2004-08-22 23:39:08 +0000 UTC]

So the pixel artist decides to go vector ;]


I love the 'busy-ness' of it. How full and bursting it seems, and the fact that there's a bit of sky peeking through on the right. Very nice, exciting colours, and a very good use of splashing in detail here and there, while reserving huge blocks of untainted colours. Nicely contrasted.

howling In reply to snowunmasked [2004-08-23 12:25:56 +0000 UTC]

Thank you Nice long comment, always a good read. I'm going back to pixels (and storytelling) for now though, otherwise all this vector stuff becomes overkill. Variation is healthy! I am making these four vector pieces available through DA prints.... if you're interested

Anyone can make up their own interpretation(s). I've called it motion, initially I wanted to call it Thanks the Stars for Travel - but Motion sounded more mysterious and open and it was nice 'n short.
