"Impulse Abstraction"
-------- Specs: Size: 5916x8865 DPI: 900 Colour: RGB, 16-bit Channel PSD Size: 344 MB PNG Size: 30.9 MB, Interlaced ---- Finally, Right?: Finally after six months, Abstraction can finally be called "done". Abstraction was one of the first sets of experimentation involving the star of this piece, Captain Impulse. I wanted to do something vastly different from the rest of my work. I feel I've done so, and at the same time, it still retains my style. I feel unbelievably proud of this piece, and hope that it might actually make some currency. I had the idea to make it somewhat yin-yang to a point, and it certainly doesn't get more yang-yin than with a imp-like bloke pooling out of an abstract version of himself. This piece taught me something very important, that if you're making a high-resolution picture, don't use the scan as the lineart. I literally had to redraw all the lines after I colored the layers in. It also taught me that converting and retaining the colour is dumb to a point. The background is as nice as it's going to look, and I still like it. Isn't it ironic that something that was drawn on an impulse, took half a year to finish? I'm sure it is, but the people who like irony aren't the same people who like my art. Regardless, a lot of work was put into this, so I hope you enjoy it. Thus marks my first ever high-quality print for deviantART, horray and a half! ---- Special Thanks: I want to thank a couple of my friends who helped in some facet that doesn't actually involve work on their part: -Nick Goldstein (~X52), for his minimal insights and his ideas on this and other "Impulses". -Chrissy Crossy, also known as ~MasterCrusaderX, for telling me to work on arts. Alot. Which helped, because he knows I am a lazy bastard at times. -Elizabeth Hamilton (~Opaquejade), for various pieces of advice and inspiration. Heart~ -Epic Games, Ubisoft, Nintendo, Suda 51, Namco, Hothead Games, and Bioware. Why am I thanking them? I shouldn't, they distracted me with their unbelievably kickass games. Damn them and their ability to make awesomeness! ---- Copyright Jargon: This piece, and all material contained within was imagined, drawn, coloured, and utterly manifested by and copyrighted by Matthew Alexander James (=CreatorGX).
