I like the silly, as well. I need to know more, tho. What are the battery worms and why do they have to jumpstart each other?

I really like the clean and cute look of this image, it’s a brave change from the dark and very complex detailed look that most others are going for.
One crit I would have though is that it currently seems like a sort of editorial picture accompanying an article in a magazine. I think the picture may need some sort of story, purpose, reason or twist to enable the image to be able to stand alone as an artwork.
From what you’ve said in your posts I’m probably jumping the gun as it seems like you’re going to put him in a farm like a battery hen which will make it more of an artwork and less of an illustration.
Anyway, I hope you get what I mean, either way he’s a great little character and I look forward to seeing more.

Hi nitroSqueel.
Thanks for the comments, I am interested in your concepts of an “Illustration” and “Artwork?”… If you could expand on what you may have mean’t that would be great… and if anyone else can shed light on the concepts of Illustration/Artworks/Pictures/Drawings/Visualisation and what should qualify for either i think we could have a classic debate ultimately ending in a quibble over semantics… Which always makes a good thread:D

Kinelco:

I think you’re probably right and it’s best not to go there!
Hows about this though: It possibly looks more like a frame from an animation than a stand alone still. A stand alone still (an artwork) tells a story in itself, whereas a frame from an animation may stand alone aesthetically but it ultimatley needs the rest of the film to have a purpose.
Your character looks really cool but it might be even cooler with a back-story drawn into the image around him.
( btw I’m personally in the illustraton rather than art camp when it comes to my own stuff)

I think I understand what you mean…You should perhaps tell that to most “Art” gallerys around the country, they seem to have strayed a little…
Having said that I’m not sure I would be that happy with any Art gallery being full of digitally printed Mechanised Warrors of the future all with intriguingly violent pasts interlinking with their current political climate…

hey Kinelco… i like what you have here… the style is perfect for bringing across your concept… hehehe yeah he does look sad
but i say keep that expression that tells the story of the poor little thing perfectly… one thing i would love to see though is a sweet worm shader instead the plain orangey color your using at the moment… other than that you’re entrys lookin sweet…PFB
