Wormhole

Ted

I wanted to illustrate a wormhole intersecting with earth. Hope you guys dig it. Any feedback would be appreciated.

The image doesn't show up in your post. I tried to to copy its URL into a new browser window and was prompted to save or open the file.

I think you need to rehost it. May I recommend www.imageshack.us?

ever seen the movie, Zathura?

I like the sketchiness - kinda reminds me of Dave McKean's work in his graphic novels (as opposed to the Sandman covers).

I saw about 20 minutes of it on cable. Didn't see the whole thing.

oh, then you didnt get to see when

the house is busted up, floating in space towards a blackhole I think it was... with the kids staring out the door or window...

heh - anyway your picture reminded me of the movie

I like the art style and the colors although the difference in how his top half and bottom half are shaded is a little jarring, as if they're parts of two different people almost.

It is pretty cool except for 2 things.

1. Your vortex looks like a photograph and it clashes with the rest of the nice hand drawn image.

2. The character is getting lost in the blackness of the wormhole. If the two weren't so similiar in color, this could be avoided.

That, and your perspective doesn't make any sense. Most noticable on the door, but seen on the floor and wall, too.

My eyes are completely distracted by two things:

1. The cheesy black hole
2. The Green pants and red shirt

For me the image wants to be earthy, and the green and red outfit sticks out as confusing.

I actually enjoy this about the picture. It reminds me of Dave McKean (which I already said).

Agreed, it doesn't bother me so much because it's consistent.

Hey thanks erisian, I really dig Mckean's work. I wish he would draw more comics these days.

Did you see Mirrormask? Top notch stuff, if you ask me.

So, back to the feedback thing. I agree with whomever pointed out that the dude doesn't quite match the style of the house/door.

I don't mind the wormhole not matching - that mixed-media feel can work if it's not ugly and not overused (in my opinion, anyway) but I feel like the dude should be equally sketchy as the house. I can see in the shoes and the bottom of the pants that it looks like you were going for that, but I think he needs more so he can match better. My 2-cents, anywy.

I didn't understand the plot so much, but the movie would've been equally beautiful if the whole thing was just one mute. Well... I didn't pay much attention to the movie when it was on... but... I was amazed at what I did see.

For some reason I'm wanting to see this drawing in a stark black&white Frank Miller style while keeping the photo of the galaxy as it is.
