Description
this has been my project in my design II class. we had to take a building, abstract it, and then put in an accent color.sorry about the quality! i used my friend's camera and then played around with it on PS.
it was done on 19"x24" bristol paper with my incredible pigma sakura micron pens. it was colored on photoshop so that i can evaluate whether i like the placement of the accent color or not.
so far, i like it, but i think the red is becoming too much of a secondary color... my teacher said that was OK, but then i would have to choose another color as my accent color on top of what i'm doing already XD
what do you think? :'D

I found this when I had a couple pieces added to the collection you are also in. Hoooooly craaaap, this is SO detailed! I love the way it looks like you took this building and threw it into a whirlpool. Everything is layered in and out of itself in a very pleasing way. I disagree with your teacher. Yeah, the color red is used heavily, BUT sometimes doing what is right for the image is more important that following the guidelines in making it.

Your use of red is nicely controlled - it's not everywhere but it belongs where it is and nowhere else. The dot shading and the linework are of course brilliant and I particularly like the smoke.

Definitely! You deserve it.

Holy Lord, Quince.
This is amazing. I love the steeple and the clock face.
It's all so deliciously surreal and melty.
So very printable. XD

I love this!!!!!!!!!!!! It almost looks like it is split up in panels like a comic . It is very rich in detail and the lines and circles makes very interesting and gorgeous patterns.
The clock itself almost looks like a portal into a new world. Everything flows together so brilliantly. The fact that some of the numbers move away from the main tower gives it a mysterious, almost dreamlike, but excellent atmosphere.
The red add so much to the artwork. I actually think the amount of red is just perfect. If you add another accent colour, which one will you choose?
Well done and I am sure you'll get top marks. Well, you certainly get top marks from me.

wowowowowowowow~<3333333
yes! i had to split up the piece into three equal shapes which are the triangles.
thank you so much for such a fabulous comment!!!
i've decided to leave it the way it is C: too much color would kill it, methinks.

It looks really good!
It is my pleasure, Quince. I enjoy commenting on your artworks, just as much as I looking at them.
I also think that's best.
