Artist's Comments

This will be a cover image for my comic project; Artifact. I needed it to represent a lot of things that will go on in the first collection of issues, but wanted a graceful image; something uncluttered, but heavily symbolic.

The image features my character, Jette Porter, and is taken from Alphonse Mucha's The Feather.

A texture from cgtextures.com was used, everything else was digitally hand painted from scratch. Completed at approx. 50 hours of work.

Oh wow, I like that a lot! I like the spaceships (?) at the top. My only comment would be that the text gets a little lost in there. Maybe give it a bit of a thicker line? Etiehr way, really neat work.
:iconsincerely:
Thank yew. You're right about the text, but I eventually decided to just leave it this way 'cause I'd been working on it for, like, six hours. Ultimately, I put preference with it looking good over legibility...

The spaceships (!) were a lot of fun to do. They originally had little nebulae behind them, but it was too busy so I simplified it.

This is fantastic. I like the added touch of the handprints at the top!
:iconsincerely:
So glad you like them! I had fights with people early on in the project over the black logo/fingerprints. They are absolutely essential.
:iconricey:
Goddam! That is one awesome picture! Seriously, damn near perfect! The best thing I've seen of yours on this site so far, just wow. Only one suggestion, touch up that gun a little. I would suggest you use value rather than line to suggest that plane change... But seriously, wow, awesome work!

Isn't it funny when people's signatures are longer than their comments?

I also keep thinking I should've given the gun a slightly more brownish cast. It's the only gray thing in the picture...
:iconricey:
Yeah good point, it would at least be reflecting some brown light at us so a little brown tint would look nice.

I've always had a soft spot for clocks as a symbol (High Noon!), but I wanted to push it. Old watches, one with no face, all telling different times. That's a nice symbol :heart:.
