Wow, thanks Raymond!
 
I am working on the Lambretta image at the moment. Trying to repeat this look in a slightly different colour scheme, but same style. I may do a few more using other scooter brands or motorcycles paired with different cityscape backgrounds for a wide ranging series.
 
I am "borrowing" heavily and standing on the shoulders of a lot of the great poster artists of the 20's - 50's stylistically. I've been wanting to create something like this for a while now in Designer. I'm very glad to see it's getting a positive response. :-)

Awesome work! Really, really like the style, composition and palette. 
 
Certainly rating this as some of the finest work I've seen here....

Yep, adding my like deservingly to the already long list. Nice feel; great composition, lovely palette. Bikes are certainly moving. 
 
Real nice work!

Great work, Raymond. I agree to Garry, blue / turquoise and green / jade are the classic colors for the Aztec art. I think that would fit

@Raymond: This is precisely the theme of the new novel for which this cover was made. I am very glad that this is recognizable, so great, thank you!
Thanks for your great comment, and for your honest opinion.
you're fine, get back on the horse Thank you!

Hi all -
 
One of my first draft versions for a wall decoration concept for Aztec, a potential start-up bar restaurant. Although the client likes it, I am sensing a few opportunities for improvement.
 
The space under the name Aztec needs to be filled by another text block - either 'Bar' or 'Restaurant' - depending on where the image will be placed, or how it will be used. 
I am also contemplating whether the design needs more color, although the client feels that the overall sandy-color reminds him of his homeland Mexico. We are still playing with the ruby-red 'gemstones' which could potentially be recolored in blue to become more complimentary to the design's yellow/orange overtones. 
 
Happy with all else so far; looking forward to receiving your feedback, critiques and ideas.
 
Cheers!

Brilliant dmstraker!
 
One [or more] step ahead of me; was planning to do something similar to get my head around blend modes as well. 
 
Much respect for sharing this with us openly; very grateful!

Hi all! i hope u enjoy this!!!!

final art 

Watch the kerning in the word AZTEC. As they sit now, there is too much of a tangent between the A and Z; they are just barely kissing. They either need to be really pulled together so that they overlap a bit and form one distinct shape, or spread apart so there is a gap between them, similar to the other letters. Also, the E and C could probably be brought a touch closer together as well.
