Very well done, nice style and BG design...i like how my eye's focus on the girl because of her skin color and the bright pink u have put on her... nice contrast and use of color.

Cool work
I don’t really understand what is wrong with her hand though…
Why is it black and blurry?
Then again, maybe it’s better this way.

Fantastic work. I have only some limited experience with vector illustration, but I can appreciate this alot.

Nice, consistent. More balanced than your usual work. But still, personal taste, I think that sharp black lines should be combined with flow, instead of sharp shapes without black outlines (see clouds versus hair). Also, some color contrast, be it minimal, would give it some edge.

yeah the limited color pallette thing is wearing thin, i need to study your marker pieces a bit i think, you use a lot of complimenting colors while still sticking with a central color mood. i should be dangerious maybe play with some blues in this situation...i might try some of that...thanx.

i love the color scheme.
and I also love the blurriness on the arm/some of the background.
its outlandish and reminds me of cell shading.
I love it.

I like the relative softness of the background and the sharp , almost geometric quality of the girl in the foreground , and i love the pink & black

Love the suggestion of movement given by the blur. Nice work!

I love the pink hair. The darkening of her right hand (closes to her face) to keep from distraction is a great touch. Visually appealing overall. Excellent!

the hand right off the bat needs some TLC
also if it were me making this I would have put 50's style cars in the BG
just an idea
right now she's looks as if she's on top of a hill standing in an odd position
its well done but odd position

some people like the hand, some people don't, whats an artist to think...i did do it on purpose of course, but i wonder if it might be just a little too transparent....too transparent, what am i saying!!?

and yeah those that mentioned the hair...i like it too, i think it makes the whole thing POP! and yeah 1 year and 1/2 ago ACraftedTekneek told me it looked like GTA type art...my style loves you all too, it just told me again today how much.

You have a very nice sense on how to make an image look 'cool' and I love you colour choices. Nice work Peter.

hey man, nice work as usual. like this best among your other recent posts, probably because the because the composition works better for me here. the girl up close to the viewer really balances it out. the rest is pretty much ur usual great stuff, color, style, etc.

Very nice use of colours! The hand looks a little bit off indeed. The composition is well balanced. Great one!

whew sorry it's taking me so long to come by...hopefully the next week will free up alot of time for me...

The colors = perfect

The composition...I know she's off center, but something seems off...If I were to crop the image just to the right of her...I could see the city and the figure and be fine with it. Same goes if I were to crop out the city and see just her and the cars...

...seems she just cuts the image into 2 different works, with her being the focal point of each. Other than experimenting I can't honestly think of a a solution for now..other than perhaps an intentional break in the canvas. Check out the vertical break here: Hope [Make a Change Contest 2006] by Team member, GFXartist sponsor Wysiwyg and that's it...it's a horrible MyProfile work that is in need of serious revision.

I dunno...maybe that 'framing' approach will spark a new idea of presentation...you could use it to portray a story just by separating different elements of the same pic..and use the breaks to direct the viewer...as you have nothing moving the viewers eye right now (other than that cool, trademark way of laying your colors down).

Whew...I'm out of practice (critiquing)....that took alot out of me :p

Awesome... but I must ask... why did you use Photoshop instead of a vactorial software like Illustrator or Freehand?

9/9 and added to fav artists :)
