I kinda felt like this years print was more organic than last years. Last years poster had more geometric forms. It was also a bit more symmetrical than this years.fredo wrote:Meh. A step down from last year's, imo, which had a more organic feel.
ps I know this is fan art and the artist checks in...it's just too computery and 1-D for my tastes. The keyline is distracting, too.
I also thought the print did a nice job of feeling hand painted/drawn. Most peeps had a hard time figuring out how it was made. It is possible that the pics I posted were misleading because they don't represent the texture and finish of the ink.
I do agree that the key line layer has a stark value contrast in relation to the other colors - but I like that, or I wouldn't have done it I guess.
Concerning the spatial depth of the design; The 2012 dicks print is more 3d from a distance, primarily because the 2013 is a vignette with blue sky background. However the 2013 has much more modeling/shading which becomes evident when you view the piece from within a 6 foot distance.
That said...I think I like last years a tiny bit better.
