A SUBLIME HOPE, Hasan Ali Akhtar (2D)

[wildcory1]

Great work for illustrator

[haimengte]

looks like 3d work ,that's good:)

[CNell]

really nice work with the highlights/shadows and lighting but would like to see some detail/shadows in the white "wax" because it seems like a blob at the moment. otherwise a creative piece.

[Smartypants]

Technically, this image is very well made, considering the method. But it doesn't seem like much more than a technical exercise. It's well made, but I don't look at this image and immediately think "hope".

Your technique is good, now work on content.

[LADmaticCA]

Great vector work. I love the fire.

[wildcory1]

I love the story behind your art. I agree hope is a powerful emotion.

[hasanaliakhtar]

Thank u so much haimengte for saying it a 3D rendered piece..I have really worked hard on that..So nice of u..God bless u..Cheers:)

[hasanaliakhtar]

Loads of thanks CNell for liking this piece and named it a creative one from my side..Much appreciated..Well u have pointed out a real good thing to me..Actually when I was making that wax I hav had this point in my mind but I have made it like that cuz of the light intensity at the top..Thats why didnt give variations in colors there..Apart from that thanks a million for liking this artwork..God bless u..Cheers:)

[hasanaliakhtar]

Hi Smartypants thank u so much for liking this artwork technically..Well to me it is still giving me that sublime hope..I do respect ur comment but to me I have acheived that spirit in it visually..Thanks alot for ur comment..Take carez..Cheers:)

[hasanaliakhtar]

Loads of thanks LADmaticCA for admiring its fire and overall piece much appreciated..So nice of u..God bless u..Take carez..Cheers:)

[hasanaliakhtar]

Thanks a million Cory for putting ur comment again about liking that concept behind it..Yeah I agreed its a powerful emotion:thumbsup:..God bless u..Cheers:)

[kbarts]

Nice work with vectores!
But it has an empty mood for me. Something missing...
Maybe you should use a vertical composition to give more space above the flame.

[hasanaliakhtar]

Thank u so much kbarts for liking the vectors as far as the composition is concerned I like it that way well I do respect ur suggestion as its also good one but I want to show it in a horizontal space..Thanks alot for ur suggestion and comment..God bless u..Cheers:)

[hasanaliakhtar]

Here is the wireframe of it..Thanks for viewing:)

hi hasan! nice work with VECTOR! i cant believethat!!! perfect work. but if it had a story behind, maybe had a believable point. by the way, how did u do that? plz tell me;)
lighting is coooooooooool!!!
god bless u 2!

[hasanaliakhtar]

Hi ario nice to see ur wonderful comment..Loads of thanks for liking the artwork so much..Am really happy u liked it..Well yeah there is a story behind..And u can see the concept which I have given there in the description..Thanks..As far as working is concerned well in Adobe Illustrator there is a tool named as gradient mesh tool..All u have to do is to put mesh points where u have to give the desired tone of color..and after the combination and variation of colors on mesh points u can make things close to reality..But yeah u have to practice alot with that tool..Its lil hard but after so many practice sessions u can learn it easily and can make things like that in vector..That tool is also there in Corel Draw but I will recommend u to use Adobe Illustrators one cuz its more refined one..

Thanks alot again for such a nice comment and admiring this artwork of mine to such an extent..God bless u..Keep smiling:)

Nicely done Hasan, IMHO the flame is a bit too tall or rather it is too close in height to the candle holder. I think it would be better if there was a difference in size betwwen the two.

[hasanaliakhtar]

Thanks a million respected JOSE for ur constructive feedback about that artwork..Yeah I do agree wid u on that point which u have mentioned there..Will fix it soon I hope so..And Thanks u so much for also admiring it..Am really happy u liked it..Thanks..So nice of u..God bless u..Keep smiling:) and keep remebering me in ur prayers..

[Thaldir]

Beautiful work, Hasan, I really like it.

As other have said, it could be perfected (a bit of color variation in the wax would be wonderful), but it's really a minor thing in a very good work.

As to the mood... as soon as I saw it I thought of a ritual candle, not just any candle, so yes, the feeling of hope *is* there for me.

Looking forward to your next pieces

[hasanaliakhtar]

Thank u so much Tiziano for giving me that much encouragement wid ur powerfull emotions as well as comments about my artwork..I am really very happy to see ur nice comments about my overall work..am really thankful to u..Yeah I do agree wid that point about the wax and lighting, color variations on it..Laods of thanks for liking the mood and concept of that illustration:thumbsup:..So nice of u..take carez..God bless u..Keep smiling:)

[KungFuPanda]

another nice piece, hasan. I like how your tecnique is improving.

as other have said the wax is too much monochrome and is not reflecting the "warm" of the flame.

go on, i want to see other pieces by you! :)

KFPanda :)

[hasanaliakhtar]

Thank u so much Roberto for liking my technique and admiring the whole artwork:thumbsup:..Am really glad u have liked it..So nice of u..Well yeah I do agree wid that point everyone has pointed out that thing to me and thats a positive sign for me to improve my skills further..Thanks a million again..God bless u..Take carez..Keep smiling:)

[petevisual]

now work on content


I agree with the above comment and I see some problems with composition as mentioned by other members and I see the flame too close to the top edge. Vertical composition would have been better.

[hasanaliakhtar]

Thank u Peter for that comment..As to me its fine but yeah thats also a valid point that vertical composition will look better there..I do respect ur suggestion..Take carez..All the best..Keep smiling..:)

[digitalinkmind]

Hey Hassan
Wooow...that´s awesome...looks like 3d work...the fire flame are sooo realistc... the reflections and lightning are superb. Great art work.:eek:

[hasanaliakhtar]

Hi Rodrigo, thanks a million friend for liking this piece..Really glad u liked it..Well yeah I wanted to acheive that kinda lighting effects and reflections there..Thank u so much again for the comment and appreciation..So nice of u..Take carez..God bless u..Keep smiling:)

Hi Hasan, I really like your concept. I’d never given much thought to the candle as an object showing hope, but I have to admit that it is a remarkably well-fitting comparison. I also like the way you present it, especially the flame has a very realistic look and it is illustrating perfectly the topic by its gentle glow. Things you could improve... hm... maybe give a bit more shade to the wax and less highlights to the candleholder, but that’s all I could recommend to give it a more realistic touch. In other respects very good job ;)

[hasanaliakhtar]

Thanks a million Luisa for admiring it concept as well as the whole artwork..Am happy u liked the concept as well as have given ur thoughts about it..Yeah real nice suggestion indeed about the wax part..I know its highlighted more..Loads of thanks for the suggestion and liking the artwork..God bless u..Cheers:)

[wuwejo]

It's hard to belive that this is vector graphic. There is such soft and delicate. Makes impression. Great work. Good luck.

[hasanaliakhtar]

Thank u so much Jacek for admiring the piece and its impression..Really glad u liked it..Thanks a million for the good wishes and encouragement..So nice of u..Take carez..God bless u..Cheers:)
