This is wonderful. I've always gone by what people have told me it is, even when going and trying to branch out by myself. Any chance you'd make this into a print? I'd love it on my wall.

I LOVE the colours in this.

Usually it would annoy me that the pink is only in one spot, but it totally works. Yay.

Ooh, I like the colours. So warm. ^^

I like how you made it look more traditional than most photoshop art. Very nice. ^^

The little blurb on the bottom is wonderful, too. <3

This is beautiful... I love the colours and the way the whole thing is set up. The words are so inspiring and suit the image so well. Nice choice of font, too.

I would be very interested in getting this as a print someday .

Thank you so much for sharing this awesome piece with me, and the dA community!

You just said "no brushes", didn't you. DIDN'T YOU!?!? What kind of lean, mean, photoshopping machine are you, to make a peice like that without any brushes -.-

Keep up the great work, man!

plaxx In reply to Kamakacci [2006-10-19 22:04:16 +0000 UTC]

Haha.. Thank you for your kind words..

No I DID NOT use any brushes for this peice ( or any of my pieces really ) I just wrote that because there is a lot of texture in the background and I would think people would look at that as brushes. But no. No brushes for me thanks

Kamakacci In reply to plaxx [2006-10-20 00:07:10 +0000 UTC]

o.o I could never get how people make such beautiful designs (like this one) in Photoshop, without using brushes, or other images. At the very least, tell me what tool you use most frequently

asher27 [2006-10-19 21:49:19 +0000 UTC]

isnt design everything?
you know, the packaging that a product comes in, the bottle/dispenser the soap is in, the chair in your dining room, the sink in your kitchen, your cell phone... ipod... virtually every product or thing we see?

thats what i have always thought it was, and my high school art teachers agree. of course, it could boil down to colour, line, shape, form, texture, ect... which is what were taught in school. but design is in everything, and any teacher who says otherwise doesnt know what theyre talking about.
