Ok, so I hate going first, but the whole point of these things is to learn. So I played with some line art styles of shapes and themes… there was a very cool thin line version but I don’t think it was as graphically pleasing.  
Good Luck.

I don’t think it’s bad at all! INteresting is not a put-down, hell I think that’s a good compliment. 😉 Nice start, nothing wrong with that…and challenging for me as well.

psd is a 404 though.

I didn’t mean my comment in a bad way. It just looks…well…interesting. Don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like it come to think of it.🙂

Good luck on your serve UNFLUX. I’m glad your next. 😛

I fixed the PSD link. I didn’t think dj was putting me down. I was putting me down. I don’t think it’s great but I was trying a style that I’m not that good at. Just learning.

Good Luck.

Ethan, i liked it - i was glad to see a battle start out in a different direction. Sometimes the flashyness of photoshop battles gets to be too much for me. I liked the style of it; the subtle blue shapes added a lot, i think.

that’s what it’s all about mate, sometimes getting into a rut of your own style is hard to break out of. Hence, moncrey’s comments. 😉

I’ll be working on this today.

sorry guys – got a bunch of work dumped on me at once and then a client had issues. Clients come first of course. 😉
