Artist's Comments

uhm yes. I think most people get who this guy is supposed to be. ;)

I strongly recommend full view on this one, it got a lot of charm in it's texture that is otherwise lost.

This is the first piece of concept art on my latest animation project I'm releasing to the public. more info about it here: [link]
but basically were charged to make 3 animations that quickly explain a variety of religious celebration it's back-story in a dry humorous way. This one is for the Jewish celebration of Pesach, which means we have condense more or less the complete Prince of Egypt in under 60 seconds. Yeah!

But some other members of our animation team are tearing their hair out to write the story, I'm basically assigned to nail the animation's style, of which this is an early study. I'm going for a light and friendly paper cut style here that will work well in contrast to the often cruel and sadistic nature of the humour played out in the narrative. (a tad South Parkish)
I'm looking to incorporate Arabic textures and a very flat 50's illustrative style. But I guess I first have to make more before my vision becomes apparent. Oh well, please let me know what you think. :)

Lovely! Great illustrative style!
:iconinsteadofdeath:
I love the patterns in this. It gives the picture a gorgeous, bright feel. I recognize a lot of them, too. And it seems like a style that's fairly easy to animate, though I really wouldn't know. My favorite is definitely the fish, they're so :heart:cute:heart: and orange. I've always loved your work. ^^

It's Peter, right? Taking a shortcut with the fishing? ;)

Keep it comin', keep it comin'! I can see this work already!

hah very nice indeed. i especially like that the textures (mostly the texture used on the sky) have jewish stars in them, although, i saw a similar pattern in the texture of the ground, but im not sure if thats supposed to be there or not ^^. in any case, nicely done, especially since its a humorous take on something that can be so dark, so the character development, and the overall aspect of it is very nicely contrasting what the story is like. good job, and good luck on the project ^^

I REALLY like this! :) The fish flopping around is some great dry humor. Also, like the other comments, the textures throughout the piece are great. It is a very visually appealing illustration. It would be a great pic for a child's bedroom. Nice work! :-D
:iconbakenius:
heh, yeah... after studying animation for more then a year I tend to design a style in such a way that it is easy to animate. If go to After Effects I'll mozes waving his staff the sea opening and fish splattering in 30 minutes. :)
:iconbakenius:
YES! You got great wisdom my friend! :D I love your sig, it's very true. :)
:iconkyandisu:
i love your style, it's so unique and simple but yet so beautiful at the same time, I would love to see more pieces from you done in the same way. you are truly an art genius to me.
