Deviousness |
I love the vibrancy of the colors and how subtley they blend without bleeding into one another, especially in the ocean, where the teals mix beautifully with the green and yellow hues.
It definitely holds to an older style, with more modern qualities.
I specially liked the eyes on the wings. It's a heavily loaded semantical image. These are some of the things I see:
a) Perception happens far, far from the subject (in the sky, since wings barely touch the ground)
b) Several eyes on each wing, and several wings, say that perception (not Knowledge) is a matter of perspective and that, ultimately, 'knowledge' comes from the concurrency and resolution of several kinds of perceptions (symbolized by the eyes) within the Observer.
c) It is the Devil who possesses this ability of seeing many, many things at once and from a distance: he is able to 'think' them clearly, and to assess the ways in which he can intervene (the buttons he can push) (assuming, of course, he exists and has the desire to intervene).
d) It is the Devil who is able to see and complement much more information than us, but still has a limited perspective (finite amount of eyes) and thus has a limited set of potential behaviors.
These are only some of the ideas that came to my mind in seeing this image. Automatic +fav
I also like the style: the lines and colors are too clean to be mimicking a print, but they're very fine and expressive of the typical card. I love the way they run too: sometimes they're kind of direct and smooth, and other times they're a little chaotic: makes it look like there's an artist behind it, and individuality, and that's nice.
And all that adds up to. I like your picture. kthnxbye.
No really, I do. Well done
