Nightwingby *paco850

Cartoons & Comics / Digital Media / Cartoons / Vector

So I finally finished this one or so I think. I'll probably see something that needs tweaking just as soon as I hit the submit button. This one evolved quite a bit as I was working on it. A big thanks again to Tom Fiester for Kicking me in the butt and making me work harder. I hope you guys dig this one as much as I enjoyed working on it.

First of all let me say thank you for sharing this piece with us. It is exceptionally well done with the mixture of warm and cool colors creating an effective contrast that complements the piece instead of destroying it. Also, the story that it tells us is well thought out using Nightwing's poise and facial expression to convey how very collected and level-headed he is amidst the ensuing chaos of helicopters and exploding buildings. This is truly a remarkable work and you should be very proud of it. As for the professional criticism you requested I only have two regarding a small message within the piece and your use of visual path. First the message I refer to is obviously the red sign at the bottom right that highlights "hells." Overall, I understand the general idea of using part of the lit sign to point out the hellish situation that he is in. However, I was a bit confused as to what the "H" below stood for and since it is also lit does it have a purpose? Perhaps you meant to put an "S" intead for "sea shells?" Also, I found it just a bit unnecessary to light up the s at the end of "hell" as well. Secondly, the critique I had on your use of visual path was that it somewhat strayed away a little too much from Nightwing. Using the light from the helicopters to emphasize Nightwing as your focal point was very clever, however, you also used two other light sources from the copters to direct our eyes away from him and on exactly one point on the composition: the explosion. Not to mention Nightwing's foot is pointing at it causing me to look at the explosions more than Nightwing. Was that your original intention? Altogether I very much enjoy this piece of art and hope you continue to make more in the future. Thank you for the opportunity to share my thoughts on your work and even more so for the chance to become immersed in your ideas of Nightwing.

ha ha, me too. That was a great design done by Brian Stelfreeze. I really don't see the new one as an improvement. Glad you dig.
