avo Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Another sketch vectorisation. This girl is quite nervous but if you keep in sight her upper part of the body - she might look normal. If she want, she could work in shop, for example. Or on TV - bringing you hottest news. But she actually likes all things evil. And harsh environments... giantlobsterprd, David, Callum and 2 others 5 Quote Follow me on Dribbble https://dribbble.com/g-avoyan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankentoon Studio Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 It reminds me of some old tarot cards illustrations. My grandma used to have one of those decks at her house. I remember spending hours just looking at those scenes. Congrats man, super cool! avo and Callum 2 Quote • Frankentoon Studio - Tutorials and Resources for Designer, Photo and Publisher Follow us on Instagram | Follow us on Twitter | Like us on Facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember spending hours just looking at those scenes. Congrats man, super cool! Yeah, this kind of graphics is one of my inspirations. I love the mystic look of old engravings, folk art, stuff like that... Quote Follow me on Dribbble https://dribbble.com/g-avoyan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CartoonMike Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I like it and the homage to Pamela Coleman Smith (artist of that Tarot deck that Insecto mentioned). The one thing that bothers me is how the tail knots up. It just knocks me out of the picture and doesn't visually "follow" because of the flat illustrative style and especially with the abrupt color change. IMHO, that knot could just be removed and the curve of the tail between the beginning of the knot and the ending be continued. If one looks at pictures of snakes moving, they don't knot up. It seems that knotting only happened when two snakes encounter each other. And by continuing the curve, it echoes the curves of the background better and thus makes the illustration seem (to my eyes at least) more whole and harmonious without losing that engraving look that you have done so well. avo 1 Quote Mac OS X Catinlina, 2014 iMac, 3.5 Ghz Intel Core i7, Huion Kamvas Pro 22 Graphic Tablet, 16GB RAM, MacOS10.12 || Magic keyboard w/numeric keypad, wireless trackpad, Kengsington Edge Trackball || Flux Capacitor in a secure location --- I encourage kids to go ahead and play on my lawn.

Well i have to think about this. Thanks for your advise ;) Quote Follow me on Dribbble https://dribbble.com/g-avoyan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
