Composition I'm playing with. The theme is Africa, and the effort to stop poverty by 2025. Any helpful feedback would be nice.

My only complaint is that it's a bit small. I'm straining my eyes trying to see the cute kids _unsure.gif

Cool design, but the cutouts are shitty.

I like it, I like all of your works actually. But I also agree with the cutout even though I know it's intentional, it doesn't look good though...everything else is clean except the cougar and ram (or whatever they are...I'm bad with animals).

I don't think the cougar looks to bad, the springbok ( I think?) does look a little off. It's to jagged. Other that that this is really awesome! Great job, as always.

I agree; I love that lion being the focus of the piece.

admittedly this isn't the best I've seen from you, but I've always had respect for a ninja that uses their skills for causes like this

It's not my favorite thing of yours that I've seen, but it still looks good. I like the style of cutting you used looks fine with everything but the antelope thing at the top. I think that's what's throwing it off for me.

I didn't really notice the way you cobbed everything but now that I look at them, horns look weird since they zig-zag. The group of kids up top are low in quality & hard to see. I agree with Mike on the white. And I think the orange brush at the bottom is a bit random. Like everyone else said, this isn't your best, tbh. But it's good either way. :)

thanks for the feedback.

this is minimized version of the original so the kids look low quality and small. its till a wip, so these tips given so far are great.

I really like it.
I also like the Orange BG. Even Tho its mad bright.

Only Question i got is .. Will you put more stuff underneath the Lion or why isnt it centered?!

i'd cut out the images a little more cleanly, esp. around the top animal - it looks sortof weirdd. i'd also blend the white squares and the animals a bit more - the white parts stand out too much and distract from the lion and other images. just my opinion. i like what you did so far though (: i LOVE the orange!

I think this looks really good but again, not your best. I'm sort of digging the cutout thing though. The only thing that bugs me is that random brush near the bottom and the antelope's horns. The horns kind of distract me a bit but the lion makes up for that, lol. Overall, this is pretty good but not your best. I'm hoping the finished piece will look much better. thumbsup.gif

I really love that shade of orange. I think all the colors fit really well with the theme. The only thing that I see is the top left of the lion has a weird straight cut on it. Although I'm thinking you're probably going to add something on there?
