Arguably one of the most worthy entries in your portfolio of work for the present time.
Anyone can learn to vector and that's well and truly fine, but finding a subject whose appearance warrants the creation of digital post-modern pop-art as is dictated by the vectoring style - in an honestly timeless fashion; is an entirely different story. I'm pleased to say from an objective point of view in the very least; that The Beatles - Rainy Day has a quality as timeless as The Beatles themselves.
Five Stars and no two words about it!
Well done!

I must say, it certainly has been a while since I've viewed one your latest submissions.
As always, the use, construction or remake of your background art is fairly inspiring to behold. Your choice of utilizing Light and L for a Death Note feature is well selected.

I think my appreciation lays most in the over-all message the art gives its audience. It's a message of relevance that only a 'Death Note' reader might personally understand and that relates to the vastness of city life. There are millions of people throughout Japan with billions of motives for wanting evildoers put to final rest. L has a job in front of him that could either make or break his career and him as a person. While Light...well...he sort of speaks for himself doesn't he?

The capture of this piece in short is its city-metropolis value and the excellence in the prime art's extraction. Well done.
And lastly, if you placed the text in that position because you felt it was right at the time, then chances are there's no better place for it to be. I'm happy to second this notion and give this work 3 1/2 Stars out of 5.
Well done, High Knees! ^__^

The truth of the matter is, I'm not familiar with the 'Togainu no Chi' series.
I've never had the pleasure of encountering it before. However, this monochrome illustration, in its simplicity and edgy design is inspiring. It reminds me of the work of Sang-Sun Park for her popular series, 'The Tarot Cafe'. I find it has the same clean cut edge and stylistic attitude. I came upon your scan by utter accident. And I'm so pleased I did!
Thank you for enlightening me! ^__^

f

Top Class Brom! Very nice indeed!
I came upon this work of yours by utter accident. Having never previously encountered Ringo's musicianship, (but having known of her name at very least) has nothing to do with my encounter of this piece. As it were I was visiting Swordfish's gallery at the time when I spotted it in his Favourites gallery! ^__^
I'm very big on the 'less is more' feel and I can honestly appreciate the amount of time that goes into re-vectoring an illustration even if it is one as simple as this.
The draw to my attention for this work is primarily based on its 1960s Art Deco feel which is accentuated with pastel tones of desert sand and afternoon yellow. Very attractive. Yellow is one of my favourite colours! ^__^

Secondarily to this, screen captures are always tricky to incorporate into artworks, thus, having produced this piece as a wide-screen work was very clever!
Well done! I'm inspired! ^__^

f

Well then! Absolutely Top Class C. Kitty! ^___^
I've never previously had the privilege of commenting on wholly original artwork, but this here piece is certainly enough to stop my attention smack in the middle of its march. Well done!

I'm very partial to landscapes and I should like to draw attention to how clever the over all composition of this piece actually is. Incorporating a wonderful selection of pastels and quite clever with its proportions. One would think it was a landscape study directly from a photograph or print. If that isn't so and this piece comes entirely from the imagination then all power to you as well!

There is undoubtedly a melodious sense of harmony and peace. On extremely close inspection the absence of direct shadows makes pinpointing the position of the sun's decent across the horizon lack definition. But this is irrelevant to the voice of the work. The voice of which captures this picture-perfect Japanese moment in brilliant immortality.

I'm inspired! Well done! ^___^

f

The Member above would find themselves enjoying the clarity of this piece a great deal more if they had only viewed it in Full Size before leaving uninformed commentary. Regardless, thanks for the attempt.

f

Tsk! That's always the way isn't it? You produce something you're pleased with and not even so much as a cricket comes around to pay any attention to it. >__<"
Well, let me be the first at best to discuss this piece.
Your colouring, QIB is very clever. All the shading fits into the right places and illuminates its self well. Forgive me; I'm not particularly fond of the skin hue you selected for the young lady on the left. That's of no consequence however and completely insignificant to the over all work.
That of which feels well textured and certainly holds that grudge element only against a white backdrop. I'm always fascinated by the use of white in works.
Well done! ^__^

f

To the uninterested eye, this piece just doesn't have a lot to say about its self. This could relate to the reason as to why it was first removed from the galleries. A regretful decision on their part I should like to impress, for a 30 second inspection in all honesty reveals that this piece is really quite clever in its construction. It's an acquired taste as is the entire Dogs series. What caught my eye in particular was the selection of primary art. Its sparseness and metropoline feel is illuminated by the simple sepia tone that becomes the entire illustration. The worked background of timepieces and technical lines against a interlacing of cinder and tarnished gold work well. The elements however are not cohesive of the actual linework, but that is the overall work's draw. I should like to read more of your thoughts regarding its construction for further consideration.
Very nice! ^__^

f

Absolutely top class!
The vectors 'neatness' is of absolutely no consequence. Art isn't about being neat and tidy, it's about displaying energy and emotion and putting a point across in a manner that reaches out and grabs your audience by the throat, throttles them about a bit and then slaps them in the face a few times. ^__^

I believe this piece displays these particular elements in abundance. I'd like to draw attention to the colour combinations in particular. They're extremely unique in the capacity that they appear entirely unrelated to one another and thus compliment each other in that left of the middle fashion for which the piece was selected as a gallery highlight.
Secondarily to this, there is only so much one can do with another artists' original work but even so there is a keen and streetwise blend of post-modern, super modern and grunge elements in this piece that are young to witness. Very nice!

The chaos of the work with its almost American graffiti mural feel about it seem to remind me of the flourishing 80s Hip-Hop scene. This particular style of overall construction became the heart of haphazard art as was officially presented in the anime series Samurai Champloo.
Plenty of attitude! Well done! ^__^

f

Vector art is always popular for its postmodern feel and clean lines. But would you believe it if I said this particular piece reminded me of a 1970s newspaper fashion ad? In the 70s colour printing for newspapers and comic books most certainly didn't hit the same millions of colours that we have today. They were limited to maybe 50 colours, if that! These simple, clean cut lines and dots give he primary art in its shade of marine blue a French feel against its white backdrop. Very nice! Its unique in its own standing! ^__^

f

No Highknees, I wouldn't agree that you should be disappointed by this piece at all. It's all there; only I wish you would tell us a little more about how you put it together. While not personally having yet had the opportunity to watch NGE I must say that the young fellows face is very refreshing if not a little forlorn as well.
Aside from this, your backdrop of a train station in the early hours of dusk is ever beautiful to the eye. The receding power lines and deep greens cascade together nicely. My only concern perhaps is that your primary character appears slightly too illuminated for this late afternoon scene. Without more details on your method of construction one would find themselves at a loss for further discussion.
All in all, well done! ^__^

f

What's this? An Elite gallery item and not so much as a cricket coming around to say hello or express their view?
What a pity, then let me be the first to discuss my appreciation for the simplicity of this artwork. From a member of the group Simple-ism, I would expect nothing less. Vector art is always highly praised, what more, again its all to do with the easy curves of a gradient greys cascading in the background and the bold variance of the featured woman in this work. The contrast of her skin in reference to the red cloth that is momentarily suspended in the air. It is simply quite beautiful! Very unique!
Well done! ^__^

If I could deter away from the moral uproar this particular art work has produced and focus on its technical and inspirational value for a moment:
I simply must say it is a work postmodern in feel and ultra modern in production. Its Biblical aspect is what attracted my attention most of all. The moment when Eve deviated from the word of God and partook of the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden only to be sent out into exile. The look of determination to explore, examine, understand as she outstretches her hand to grab that of which was apparently never meant to be known by human kind. What did she learn from that first bite, what could she have told us if she knew expression within written word?

Ice Hand, your selection of colours is attractive in the capacity that the world around this digital Eve is nothing more but a cascade of greys. To me these signify the unknown for that period of apparent evolution. While Eve and her tree with its fruit are the only things that are in colour. And that there signifies something of its own accord. That humanity is a reality and so is continual knowledge.

Ice Hand, a truly remarkable work! Congratulations! ^___^

f

Shixon, this is another work of yours which I truly cannot fault. Secondarily to this there is an incredible aura about the piece's composition. Only a few moments ago I finished watching a film called Lady Snowblood Vol. 1 and our main heroine, named Yuki appears an immortal image of Japanese feminine beauty in spite of a bloody path of past vengeance. I imagine this portrait would be the very likeness of Yuki at the completion of her misfortunate journey. These absently applied digital watercolours form a manner of freedom that enlivens this illustration in a manner none other could possibly replicate. I'm inspired! ^__^

f

ShiXon, I must say, this piece is an elite item for a good a reason! The simplicity of this work's backdrop is more than praiseworthy- with its monotone feel colour scheme and inspiring mountain ranges cascading into the horizon. What's more, the line work is very modern by today's sleek-art standards. But naturally, the over all composition is drawn well by the peaceful appearance of the refined and beautiful Japanese lady whose efforts you spent on patterning her kimono are of high acclaim by my eye. In other words, damned beautiful I tell you! The butterfly line work, like this pieces title is a hands down winner! I'm Inspired! :D :D :D

f

This is what we're talking about!
This artwork has enough attitude to fill two warehouses to the ceiling and back again! It's absolutely astonishing. 500 layers of pure vectored brilliance that I must admire on the basis that I cannot appreciate enough how marvellous it is that one can simply take a line art illustration and breath such life into it! It's a time-consuming feat that must be fuelled by passion and each elaboration is more powerful than the last.

Working on a solid ice grey base and demonstrating some incredibly rigid backdrop graphics, this is another cult classic that Dogs fans everywhere will certainly heel to!
Bang! It's right up there! ^____^

f

While being a personal fan of the Cowboy Bepop series and recognising it's cult classic appeal, I must say that in comparison to the other artworks I've viewed in your gallery thus far (via recent submission) this one here doesn't quite hit the same mark.
It has absolutely nothing to do with the simplistic theme, let alone your highly notable vectoring skills. That edgy rose and bullet holes over embossed labelling tape have all the elements of grunge about them, but one can’t help but get the feeling something's missing, and I'm not talking about Spike's face. Leave it however -
I like it though, this work goes places in a modern way! ^__^

f

Talk about Army of Me!
Swordfish, I don't believe I've yet had the pleasure to have encountered such an intelligently elaborated nor well informed introduction to an artwork - ever! What's more, speaking from a scientifically researched background, I can verify that the aforementioned information is in fact extremely accurate.

This is one artwork that produces rabbits as anything other than cute and cuddly. There is attitude, sequence and grit in this piece potent enough to make any bunny think twice. Again we see another clean cut, inspired and uniquely vectored elaboration of theme and continuity on a white base with bold contrasting colours.
It's not going to be everyone's cup of Earl Grey, but it's certainly mine!
Another winner! ^__^

f

My word! After 347 shape layers anyone would be exhausted! Swordfish, exhaustion aside, being a personal fan of the Samurai Champloo series, I simply must say, this piece will become a flawless classic among affiliated fans.
Undoubtedly putting this work together was a labour of love. Its simple but dynamic and dramatic screen angle can only be appreciated by series' followers. I can't fault it!
Fantastic! ^__^

f

Thorn, this artwork's an elite for a reason! Undoubtedly this manner of simple construction most likely isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I simply cannot fault it! It's perfect, it's absolutely bloody perfect.
A basic black background and Vash having been expertly extracted as he rests against a gradient fading 'V'. Extraordinary! And what I like of it best is Vash's name that appears in a duel coloured and simple line font at the bottom of the great 'V'. The entire composition rings out like a movie poster! Not to mention how cool the reflection appears as well! Come to think of it, were Trigun ever to return to the silver screen as an animated film, I wager promotional designers would be hard pressed designing a work as powerful or as dynamic!
It's an all-round winner, Thorn! I'm inspired! ^____^

f

Well Yuuna,
Being a long standing Tekken fan, I'm always keen to see interesting artwork based on Namco's releases and I must say, of all the ones I've seen presented in the Tekken gallery, I like this work of yours best. I'm fascinated by the realism of the morning horizon and the way in which it merges with the earth. Rich golds and yellows compliment each other extremely well and the over-all composition I feel, compliments Julia's native Indian American background.
I like it! ^___^

f

Well Kawaii,
It mightn't be everyone's cup of tea. But the point of the fact is you can't have a perfectly good piece of graphic art sitting around being ignored. I added you to my watch list yesterday because I noted there was a style about your art works that was really worth discussing. This piece of yours, Listening For Trains, well, I'm not much for the primary art really. But I simply cannot fault your use of colour coordination, texture and paint/vector application. I can see it's taken a great deal of effort and it's highly worth noting. I'm particularly fond of your texture effects, I've always been partial to digital works that make you want to reach out and run your fingers against them.

It's in the bag, Chicken, it's in the bag! ^__^

f

All that time and effort, and you mean to tell me that not a single person wants to talk about it? Disgraceful!
Well Rayl, I've been a fan of Sonic since I was knee-high to a grasshopper and at very least for nostalgic reasons this work of yours caught my eye.

On a technical level, it's a fairly sound construction. A darkened city-scape with a looming horizon, and this here shimmering character afloat on a fractal explosion which is quite symmetrical actually. I can't fault it. Silver Darkness mightn't be an award winner, but it has dynamic and flare that only a Sonic fan could appreciate! ^__^

f

There's been a lot of chatter about D Gray-man recently. It's a series that seems to be creeping up on the masses in the same way that Death Note sprung on us. I wouldn't be surprised if it gains the same sort of following provided it's concepts and themes are unique enough. It's certainly something to watch out for.

Now, I can't argue with your efforts here. They're decisive, clean-cut, ultra modern and obviously winning you some serious favouring. Sound colour collaboration and a fresh, fast-edged scan make this piece as attractive as the primary model.
I like it! :D ^___^
