Something I made accidentally from scribbles while fucking around in Photoshop in my Digital Media class. Part of a series of poster creation assignments.

Quote comes from my friend Dakota.

can't seem to see it. tried IE and firefox, neither will show it. ist his just me?

Very nice work, your a damn fine artist. What did you use to make the red circles?

very very cool.

Truly kewl. It's real creepy, I couldn't get any sleep with such a poster on my wall.

The style reminds me of band fliers, and the hammer is a nice touch. The only thing that isnt picture perfect is the font. Maybe write it in with the paintbrush in the same style as the "unicorn"

Hey, the font idea is keen. I can't believe I didn't think of that!

Keep in mind, I was going for readability due to the fact it was a poster assignment. But I'll rework it.

The red circles are the circle airbrush at like size 600 with 20% opacity in multiply mode and create a venn diagram-esque effect when they overlap other circles.

Edit: My art teacher says the hammer is "trite" and says the piece as a whole is one of my weakest. Funny that, you guys love it. Thanks.

i think the hammer is brilliant, HC unicorn, hammerhead could be bigger tho

Wow, your art teacher is a dumbass. Judging someones art to be trite when on the whole its a solid piece of art.

I actually don't care for it much. I think it's the warm colors. I'm more a fan of blues/greys. I do kind of like the style, but compared to a lot of other things you've posted, this is kind of crap.

I think I agree with your teacher.

Pretty good. I don't like the unicorn's body (shoulders down) much, it doesn't seem to add anything. The head is great, though. If I were you I'd just make the head bigger and cut out the body.

Yeah, right. It's just a phrase that's constantly repeated in nihilist texts. Goddamn nihilists.

Nah, my friend coined the quote. All the nihilist sites hijacked it.

Yeah, I'm sure. Like I'm going to trust a nihilist. How Zen.

It's pretty damn good - your teacher is full of shit.

For some odd reason, it looks like it'de be a propoganda poster for Russia. Even more so for East Germany. By the way, your art teacher is full of crap, I think its a great piece of art. I don't care for the text message, but it adds to the feel of it and makes it better overall.

I think the hammer looks a little small? You have all those bold lines then this coloured hammer.

It's a good idea though. Mabye you could have one with a sickle and one with a hammer pulling lenin about on his commumobile.

hmmm... I cant view anything from deviantart.com ... it gets stuck on the page where they have their flash announcement/intro... strange.

Man that picture from deviant art was pretty damn cool I admire it alot but one has to wonder what the artist was thinking when he started working on it. Anyways WOW! totally awesome!

take that democrats!
