Description
This was done in two days, and although its a bit of my rush work im still proud of it (duh why else would i post it then?)This is for Paul Dallas's's media class, the assignment was to pick a proverb, and illustrate it. Mines was:
"every cloud has a silver lining."
but personally, I think the image is too linear and not delivering its message. although i got mixed critiques from diffrent people.
The people are done with marker and the buildings and sky are all photoshop, and inky lineart.

I'll put it up when I'm done, not sure how it's gonna turn out because we're not really allowed to use much imagery, tricky.

Ha, funny - I'm doing the exact same thing at college but with typography. This was my proverb too.

Cool!
we got the same project despite being at different schools and everything. i wonder what that says about the state of education...
anyways, i wanna see what you came up with!
i did this project in second year so it was too literal and not enough concept.

"Hey, I've got nothing to do today but smile, and here I am, the only living boy in New York..."
The fact that a Simon and Garfunkel song was brought to my mind makes this most awesome art EVAR.

Well in my eyes, I think you fulfilled the project in an abstract, but incredibly effective way. Very clean, very focused. Perfect use of an angle and the minmal subject to show sizes and reflect the general idea. Nice work.

No, michael.
you totally misintepreted my ART here and now im so insulted i quit the art "business" and has become a performance artist, or public mime.
"silver lining" refeers to the light rays at the edge of a cloud that the sun shines on when its covered, but it also refeers to the hopeless old saying:
"every cloud has a silver lining"
which is supposed to be a metaphor for: "when things are bad theres always something to hope for"
or "everything gets better if you sit on your ass and wait and do nothing to improve your current situation."
im glad to have been able to point that out to you since i recon with your "questions" that fat people need help having things constantly explained to them just as they need to have things constantly crammed into their mouths so they dont get bored and accidentally chew off their own hands.
sooo....how's by you?

lol Ray, they're looking at the sky as Cain and Able have just landed on their planets and about to destroy all of it's inhabitants XD Anyways this is alsome! I cant get my copic markers to draw that like... smooth, and your colouring just blends altogether so nicely, and I like the perspective too!

Great angle and expressions. They almost look hopeful, like that 'silver lining' will save them from their dark city.

It's probably been stated already; however, the detail seems imbalanced. The picture may possibly look more visually stimulating with more detail set in the sky and building tops.
Excellent angle, by the way.

This looks really good, the angle is neat and the people are done well - as usual
I think that maybe it needs a little more in the top portion of the image. The buildings, since their coloured differently, have less texture and less detail than the people. I imagine that if there was a little more detail in the sky (eg more clouds, bigger colour variation/gradient) it might fill that space a bit. I dunno, thats just my opinion. I really like this, particularly the concept of it.
