aight. i guess it is my turn to open myself up for bashing.
this lil piece is a possible design for a self promotional poster. it is considerably larger in person, so the details of the textures kinda fade out when it is this small...
http://lifeinsepia.com/delete/im…care to tell me what you would've done differently? something you dont like? somethng i have overlooked? or perhaps you would just like to tell me how sexy i look today?
anyway, i appreciate any comments, good or bad.

Yeah, as I told you yesterday, eric, that poster is lovely. I really dig your style. And that face is just plain beautiful. I love how you've used contrasts on the nose and lips to create that magic feeling.

Looking really good Bio!
It looks just like a movie poster, kinda reminds me of some old Egyptian movie I saw once.Maybe you could continue working on it to make it look even more movie-ish?
Or you could just leave the sexyness as it is, plain beauty and mystery, as always!

yo pimp... love the poster. my only concern would be the white spot of light in the upper right hand corner. very bright and may be a bit distracting from the rest of the piece. my eye keeps going to that direction. see what it would look like if you toned it down a bit... may work... may not. if you place your thumb over it it still works because of the hint at a light source in that area. maybe carry the light to the edge of the top block to help with eye movement around the piece.
other than that i really like it bro. top notch.

good one bio-san, no offense it makes me think of "Prince of Egypt" or sort of stuff.
- ok_static0
a bigger capture for the details will be nice though!

bio-chan, I agree with kona-san. You should try toning the sun down a bit.

recpos, take your objective hat and turn it to the "explanation mode".
a crit is not saying "i dont like it". give me more! be honest. you wont hurt my feelings.
thanks guys for your comments!
k0na, that spot is supposed to be like a sun or moon (whichever really). i will try toning it down to see what happens. or perhaps if i worked on it more to LOOK like a sun or moon. . .
and i take no offense at the egyptian (or other) comments. i love movie posters and that is kinda what i was shooting for. the original versions had small text running along the bottom, but it was just extra crap, so i removed it.

My fellow tornheart brother! Poster looks good...I'd recommend working on the type a leetle more. Maybe make the headline a leetle bigger and line up LifeInSepia.com cause right now thats sticking out in an odd way.

nice work bio, worth its weight in salt.

like the tone that the piece conveys. my comment would also concern the type - the re pair seems a bit more loosely spaced than the rest of the lettering. maybe kern it up a bit.

hmm. I dont get it... I'm not good at getting or explaining, but I don't like it. If it is for self promo I guess it shows your style? Things were different? Remove all the text. Make it 5pt helvetica in white or whatever. The image is very good. The typography is no needed and is only setting the image in a certain context (moviposter book-cover etc.) that makes it more like a 'pretend to be' more than your original artwork. Know what i am saying? Monkey.

or just keep the webaddress. smaller. punk.
- silver0
and that red frame in the bottom. kill it.
- silver0
becuse the image is great! dude.
- piperboytoy0
yes beautiful poster.

i like it a lot. It gives me a certain retro feeling, and then again it doesn't.
But composition and colour is well balanced out.
I think someone here might not like it since it doesn't follow a design-trend..
but that's just what i think.

I love it Bio!
It's Kickass!
very dark
The figure reminds me of the sculptures by Georges Minne, a Belgian Art Nouveau sculptor
'the kneeled man' is an example of his beautiful work
