Description I made this piece for the contest where you must:

"Redraw any of the Redesigns done in the IMAGE Redesign JAM
Pick any of the designs people did (BUT NOT YOUR OWN) and Draw them yourself. NOT REDESIGNING them just drawing them."
I chose to do 's Atom Eve redesign [link] . I had actually never heard of her or Invincible until now, but I liked his costume redesign. I've also basically had the Paperman animated short on repeat for the last couple days, so I figured, why not combine the two? Who knows, maybe Invincible is crazy about paper airplanes?

If you haven't seen Paperman (it played before the movie Wreck-It-Ralph), do yourself a favor and check it out. It sports an awesome new animation style that combines 2D and 3D in a novel way.

Anyway, this piece was a lot of fun (otherwise I probably wouldn't have finished it) and I learned some new stuff while doing it. Can't ask for more than that.

Really cool image, I like the contrast between the b/w background and the colored character.

There is one thing that might help the viewer to see things from below tho: maybe you could add some darker shadow on the character and have the light come from the sides, it took me a while to realise that the view was from the ground. Just a suggestion ^^

Again, really lovely work.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you liked it. In hindsight, I should have done the illustration in AI with the gray background, instead of the default white. It had decent contrast initially, but it definitely got swallowed up when I dropped it into PS. Live and learn.

Yes. As my dad always says: dont look back, apply what you learn to another piece

Dont worry, it still looks good.

Now that I think of it, some more blur could help too because the plane and the girl look like they're not moving
