Description
this is an illustrator version of a Cloisonne Koi / Fish Ornament. i didnt know what to do for the backround but i've been interested in the art neauvou style for awhile. this was alot of fun. a much smaller project than the vespa^-^ im not sure about the contrast between the fish and the backround and weather his tail should stay blue or make it orange so that the whole fish end up being more prominent. anywho i'd love to have some feedback for that!! i appreciate comments more than i appreciate favs!
thanks!

Wow it looks great! I love the non-blended coloring style you used for this. It makes it very vibrant, and each color pops out.

Love all the details and colors in the scales. The strong lighting let's the form read wonderfully. Since you asked for 'Advanced Critique', the only thing I would offer is that it might be nice to play with the line quality in the background, transitioning between thick and thin within shapes rather than from shape to shape. But that's only if I had to offer anything, it's a gorgeous piece

thanks sweets!
yes it think that the background is a bit strong as well as needing something like line differences.

Very gorgeous! I love the fish against the background; the warm vs. cold colours and the metallic against the smooth natural water shapes. Lovely work!

I actually have this ornament, and recognized it immediately, so on that note i must say nicely done.
As far as the background goes, Im a huge fan of art neauvou, but the style doesnt quite mesh with the style of the koi. True, you were going for contrast, but i think drawing the koi in the same style as the background, or matching the background to the koi would result in a more effective pic. In any case both the koi and the background are nicely done.

thanks!
well thats an interesting thought.. maybe more realistic backround or maybe just more detailed? or more similar colors in the oranges and blues?
thanks for the critique! i really appreciate it^-^

It would make awesome tiles...but I hate to say getting those colors with the stores limited supply of glazes would be Uber-hard ;/

you know, when i first looked at this i thought it looked very good. but about your contrast comment. i cannot make up my mind. i think it may be light enough to shine from the background. hmm. i kinda like how it is connected to its background in a way. i think you should keep it. you may adjust some color specks to be a better bridge between the two, but nothing drastic! its very nice!

yes ithink im going to select the parts via photoshop and see about color changes and stuff like that. thankies^-^
