Yay for Obama!! I like the colors you picked to use for both the tie and the background. And you definitely got his likeness!
I like the detailed areas vs the flat suit and tie. Ever heard of Jason Holley? I was reminded of him when I saw this... You should look him up, he has some VERY awesome work. Nice work Ty.
Way to go Tyler, you should get an award for "Vuillardenkornlish Blogger who actually completes most of the assignments." Unfortunately there are no Vuillardenkornlish awards.... yet.
I agree that the colors are really cool and I love the treatment of the suit too. he composition feels a bit lopsided... too much background in the top right or something. Yeah, just for shiggles I put it in photoshop and cropped it down and it felt more balanced.
But all in all, it's awesome, I love the texture you get from the cardboard, it's a cool style you have developed. Are you going to send stuff to art directors?
Thanks! The comments and critiques are much appreciated.
I checked out some of Jason Holley's work in the SOI annual. I dig it. I'll be sure to check out his web site once it's back up.
I agree with you about cropping it.
I haven't sent anything to art directors yet. I'm still trying to build up my portfolio. I'm about 90% sure that I'm returning to the Academy this summer, so I'm shooting for my self-promo to begin in the fall/winter.
