adidas Fingerpainting ContestCelebrate Originality
Artist's Comments
Here is Blue(My original character), yeah Blue is her name, you probably seen her in my gallery, so i kinda like her and gave her a name(Kinda like a likable character like art gem's pepper.)
OK, now to the inspiration of this contest piece  I wanted to do something that was fresh, ya know like when Adidas became known to the urban world, like in the 80's. It was the time, in my opinion, that creativity amongst the younger generation was at its finest and what was on these creative genius feet during this era?, that's right, Adidas. So i decided to do a character of mine in a 80's setting that included: turntables, city life, b-girl, and she is Djing. The reason why the city is colorful, cause that represents the colors often used in graffiti, the transition from blue to yellow is night and day, and also city life is always moving and vibrate. The night and day aspect is the parting all night long(also represented by Blue on the turntables). Finally the finger painting concept comes in with blue mixing on the turn tables, to me, Djing is an art and the finger painting is as creative as finger painting. Also if you notice the city is suppose to be finge rpainted as well with the finger print marks on the end of the strokes. Well good luck everyone and keep it FRESH! Comments
 Tight work my brotha. I like this concept, and the design sense is awesome. The fingerpaint mixed with DJing is creatively fresh.

.... Hey bro, I really love the colors you have here. I believe your exploration has improved, and it'll continue to as well.
 So I know your colors will double in skill in no time, if you continue to push and pursue.For some reason, the pose for Blue doesn't feel consistent to me...it feels like she's starting with a straight pose, but then curves at the bottom, not unifying her body posture. That, and the trash can looks flat to me (unless you were intending for it to be flat, then no worries). Just those two things that I think could be pushed more. Other than that, I think it looks smooth. Are you allowed to only submit one? Or could you submit another entry to the mix?-- I'm sarcastic due to the overdose of reality. Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 1963 (from Strength to Love) Thank for the critique as always.....the pose of Blue at the bottom i was trying to do a graffiti effect like she ended with the table, but i guess that didnt get it...lol, but yeah the trash can, i didnt want to pop it as much as blue cause i felt it was still apart of the background....but there is no time to submit cause its like 25 minutes before the contest is over
 but there is no time to submit cause its like 25 minutes before the contest is over I see! O___o Never mind then.
 LOL the pose of Blue at the bottom i was trying to do a graffiti effect like she ended with the table, but i guess that didnt get it. What I learned (and still learning) in graphic design, is if the majority of people did not see the concept shown at the beginning...then it's either a weak concept or it's not working where it's presently at. So you could either retry again with the concept, or try a new one. And it happens with a lot of people, me especially. I had a book cover design where a picture frame didn't persuade people that it was a picture frame...rather than try to fight and defend, I just took the dumb thing out. And my cover looks a whole lot better (while editing other parts of it. ).Thank for the critique as always Anything to help you out my friend. -- I'm sarcastic due to the overdose of reality. Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 1963 (from Strength to Love) Now that is true
  Nice! the colours are awesome
 Even though her sleeves are supposed be a little baggy, I feel there needs to be sense of the arm's structure underneath. I'm not sure about those angular edges at the shoulders. They don't look like folds and kind of distracting. The color scheme seems to work together though.
--    It seems everything I would have liked to point out has already been, so I'm just going to go with that: I really like how colorful this is, especially the background. Also, while her left arm seems too skinny, I like the overall perspective
