Description
After the rather muted tones of 'never' I felt like going a bit overboard in the other direction and produce something really bright and cheerful. It's the first time in a while that I've produced something purely in Photoshop without some photo or render as a starting point (a few of the extra details around the edge were done in Illustrator though).I also wanted to make something like this for DC's Deluxe packs as the whole feel of deluxe was colourful and vibrant in my mind. It would have been a shame not to have at least one eye candy piece there :}

Im going to go out on a limb and say its not a peacock.......
i can't be the only person to get a little meaning from the title. im pretty sure its inspired by, "The raven - Edgar Allen Poe"
Quoth the raven "Nevermore" only this and nothing more

i mean the shape could be any bird, and i see where you're going, but when i see the colors i most certainly don't think of a black lurking raven as much as i do a bright peacock.

Awsome. I love the refference to Poe's Raven. I was looking at it blankly and then I'm like "ohhhhh. I get it." Maybe not.

how on earth did you make the body? It's just too good, there is no program 'alive' which can do that!!! I love the tough of photo coning of the back, and what really hits me is the sheer detail. Really amazing.

Nik This is excellent work, one of your best, as it resembles a bird, what with the textures and colours and form. I really like this and I'll be adding it to my
list. If I wasn't so skint I'd definitely be looking to work another wee print deal with you again
Did I ever Show you 'Plunge' framed up on my wall? The frame is cheapass so I'll wait til I get a better one to show you
on this by the way.

ok now THIS is brilliant.
The glossiness is just so sexy. The amount of detail you put into your work is amazing, I truely respect that.
However, The choice of Font in this piece is imo the wrong one. I personally would favour a Helvetica Neue, or an other straight, sans serif typo.
Leaving the backround black here, is the best you could have done. That way, it gets a very worthy and elegant look.
overall, you once again impress me, less because of the techniques ( because you are obviously using the same kind of technique all the time more or less ), but more because of the idea. And I think the Idea, or concept of an artpiece is it what makes it original.

I actually see Helvetica and Helvetica-a-like fonts so often I really get bored of them. They do look pretty good but are such a lazy choice.
