I'd love peoples opinion on this. I've replaced the photo of Messi with this illustration. I want to start doing every poster with the players in this type of style. What do people think? Please comment!
I've not sold any as I'd like to make sure I'm doing things right. I've tried to move into using my own illustrations so I wont be liable for the photos. His face isn't meant to be there as its kind of a grafitti style thing. What do you think of it?
Just a thought - while it's your own work, was it based on a photo off the net somewhere? If you've heavily photoshopped an existing pic I think they can still claim copyright.
Presume there's no copyright issues then if you're reselling them, but you can't make out his face.

ReplyDeleteEye would say he needs some eyes!
ReplyDeleteOkay, people are opting for eyes. Duly noted. Anything else?
ReplyDeleteemploy shading or very subtle lines to empahasize facial features. Lips look a bit off.
ReplyDeleteotherwise this is GREAT
this is fergal btw
Thanks Fergal, this is the first attempt at it so I'll develop nuance as i go on. Thanks for advice, please keep comments coming!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove it. If I had one criticism, it's that the photo's at the bottom lack congruence with the rest of the poster.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the process of changing all images to a similar painted style (the main photo). thanks barry
ReplyDeleteAgree with Barry. Like the vintage/painted look but the photos don't work well and look like an afterthought.
ReplyDeleteyeah going painted style all over would look best i think.
ReplyDeleteNah leave the eyes out, better as it is.
