Description I'm really pleased with this piece because it has a lot of meaning in it, a lot of symbolism, etc.
The character is meant to be the focus, he's grown up now, shown by being in a suit, implying he's working maturely in the business world. However he holds onto a wireframe globe like a balloon, as if when he was a child he wanted to be something different, and that something different is shown above him. Wireframe planets show the scale of dreams that we all have early in life, some of us want to be astronauts, like in this instance.
I dunno, that's just a rough meaning of some of it, but interpret it as you like. Enjoy.

very nice, I like the story going along with your image

Is this Photoshop, Paint.NET, Illustrator?

Bit of illustrator, for the wireframe globes, and the rest like brushing, splatters, textures is all photoshop.
Thanks for the feedback though.

yep, no problem I really need to start saving up for the Adobe Master Collection... did you get the student discount software package, or are there limitations to it?

No limitations other than it can't be used in a professionally commericial sense, you can't really make money from it. Or your not supposed to anyway.

oh I see, so I probably would have to get the commercial edition instead of the student version, if I would use it to try to make money off of graphic design. Darn... I REALLY need to start saving then, because I wanted to get the Master Collection

Why the entire master collection?

I am not really sure why, I just love video editing, graphic design, and I want to go into web design from that also, and flash also looks like a fun thing to do in free time, but that is just one dream I fantasize having, so I would probably end up getting the Design Premium Package package or maybe the Production Premium instead... lol

Yeah, it'd be so difficult learning everything in the Masters Collection, takes long enough to learn just photoshop, it'd take years to learn all the others. I personally had to focus myself more.

So did you end up buying the commercial edition?

It is kind of hard to focus yourself when Adobe makes such great software

Survulus In reply to GamerWorld14 [2009-04-11 01:00:09 +0000 UTC]

Well, I have the student edition, I might make a little bit of money with it, but no large commercial thing. I mean, you should be fine as long as you aren't going to be making large, large ammouns of money with the software. Though if you want the student edition get it whilst you're in full-time education and stll eligible.

ok, thanks for the input. I might want to get the student edition then, and try making small amounts of money off of it. I am a sophmore in high school so I still have quite a bit of time left.

Yeah, the student version would probably be best. Good luck with that then.

Thanks. Yeah, I thought it'd be worth just cleaning the whole piece up, fixed the broken flow and the clutter of before too.
