2nd tee i did for these guys for a line of dead celebs. great guys to work with and clear art direction!
had another version where HLs face was stretched out more, but they needed it a little more recognizeable.

    just been messing a lot with the scattering settings on some of the smaller brushes, trial and error, CTRL ALT Z is my best friend.

    I really love your style Mr. Belanger, always have ever since I saw you first posting here. My one critique about this is that I personally find it a little too over detailed. Now, thats not to say that it isn't a very awesome illustration, but i think a lot of times people on emptees have "detail fever" as I call it.

    The more insane/complicated it is the more people "oohh" and "aahh" over it. I just find that its a little hard for my eye to follow what's going on and find the focal points of this piece.

    At any rate though, this is killer work as always, and any criticism I have comes with a big <3 attached to it.

    so good!!

    I'm inlove with the level of detail and that skull, well everything else too
  • xjoshuabelangerx

    Ray Frenden said: The best advice I can give insofar as legibility is concerned, is to vary your values to help create focal points. If you desaturate this, your values are a bit samey. Otherwise, no critique to offer, really. Very nice.

    thanks ray, i think i always struggle with a focal point, not ever wanting anything else to suffer, wanting everything to be on equal footing, but on that same token it brings the whole piece down doing so. still have a ton to learn.

    always trying to figure new stuff out my man, thanks for the kind words and crit. it's hard sometimes to remember when you're working on a piece, it's a tee, and a tee has a very different job than some other pieces of art.
