Artist's Comments


These waters run deep it's clear my little one
Blue velvet star sky not a sound
The light in your eyes, the smile on your ruby lips
Tells me my lost soul is found
[the seahorses]

Critiques


:iconleaf-lover:
First off, I really like the colours you've used; the lighter blues, greens and purples give a soft and 'happy' atmosphere, which is complimentary to both the title and the overall concept. It was also a nice suprise to have this appear in my inbox as your past few works have had a much darker colour theme to them. The colours also have a real underwater feel to them, which is appropriate given the central subjects are seahorses. :giggle: Perhaps a touch more of the blue, especially in the bottom right hand corner would be a nice extra addition.

The pose of the seahorses is the second thing I really like about this; their touching tails give that sense of physical closeness, while the fact that one is shorter than the other creates a sense of protection, an emotion I think we all associate with being in love.

The black brushes that surround and come out of the seahorses give the piece an abstract feel, and also creates a musical atmosphere; it is as if the brushes represent the waves of emotion and love. I am, however, not entirely sure about the brush coming out of the left seahorse's neck, perhaps if there was a gap, or it was coming out of the tail I would prefer it.

The star and floral brushes I love for two reasons; firstly, it gives it a dreamy, fantastical quality, and the positioning of them makes them become physical representations of the emoticons. Secondly, it wouldn't be a chix0r classic without them!

All in all, a lovely emotional piece, great stuff Fi. :aww:

Kind of reminds me of some 60's prints my parents used to have in the caravan. (bloody hippies!)

Very well put together. Nice work!

Lovely and surprising combinations of elements and movement; a nicely old-world feeling throughout, and dazzlingly instinctive design choices...
