Hey.
I think I may have posted the first version for this campaign here about a year ago. Here's the '04 edition.
As I don't do much finished stuff I'd be interested to get some critique from the guys who do (and hey, guys that don't too).

I really like it. Perhaps a little bit too much saturation.
Less powerfull colors, would make the picture more dramatic.
But for a comic-style its really cool with a lot dynamic! _________________ *

Thanks NeFF, though it's funny you mentioned saturation .
The client wanted to push saturation. |

Nice dynamic setup and stylistic poits for cool viewpoint. But i would have pushed it more adding "fisheye" lens effect or something to get bit more wonky setup and possibly would have failed miserably.
And yes it can be frustrating if client wants something that conflicts with your personal artistic view. hmh. And i'm just a puny amateur. _________________ .slave for hire. |

Very nice indeed! I think the client wants saturation cause it attracts the eye more, I can se this one as an old 50's or 60's commercial poster, kinda washed out, "Super Farmer Boy!!" hah
so is he gonna put this one on a huge wall on the roof of his farm?
Cheers

Hi ugly. Yes that would have been pretty cool. Fisheye views are difficult to pull off unless you've got real good ref, though.
Hey cap. This is for a print ad for some sort of farm chemical. Idealy the client would like to exploit the whole superhero concept more but as anybody here in north america can tell you, it's been a bad year for the ag biz (Something about a loopy cow). I'm sure in Europa you have become quite familiar with this. |
