Artist's Comments

This has been wandering over my desktop for some weeks now, and it was originally intended as a black and white illustration for a T-shirt I was about to make... But then, I stumbled with a lovely group called :iconthe-heart: and I thought it was the excuse I needed for it to finally make it to my vector program of choice. ;)

I hope you like it. Criticism and praises all equally welcome (I like to know what I can improve and also what am I doing right ;) )

Next, if I'm in the mood, the wallpaper version and the b&w flat version. =D

Some technical info and useless curiosities:

Tool: Illustrator CS2
Paths: 221
Points:2909
Blends: 6
Layers: 7

[EDIT] I made some fixes to the borders (thanks to :iconkjherstin: for the remark) and minor fixes to some lines.

I think it looks perfect as is. I love the design. There are certain areas that appear blunt and it would be nice to have the white all surround the swirls and shapes properly. It does in certain areas but others are not

Thanks for your remarks. I'm glad you liked it. :heart:

Sometimes I believe that what's deceitful about images is not what they conceal but what they show, nor is how much they lie but how much they tell the truth.
Ehh! Qué lindo verte nuevas obras : D
Esta me recuerda a una sensación que tengo de vez en cuando, sobre todo el amor que circula por el mundo y lo hace funcionar, mientras pareciera, al menos a primera vista, que pocos lo notan.

Eso sí, aunque las formas y la inspiración me encantan, los colores de los trabajos digitales me transmiten cierta frialdad, que no sé cómo encajar con la idea del amor. Quizás es a propósito y me estoy perdiendo el mensaje?

***********Translation/Traducción************

It´s good to see you back with new works!
This one reminds me of a feeling I get from time to time about all the love circulating through the world and making it function though it would seem at first glance that few can notice it.

Even though I find beautiful the shapes and the inspiration, the colors of digital works give me some cold I cannot make get along with the idea of love. Perhaps it was intentional and I am missing the point?
seems like you made a great job.
and i love the retro-ish of your piece.
i'll leave you a fav. :heart:

If I let you love me, be the one adored.:heart:
I believe the elegant border is what adds interests to this piece.
Me gusta la convinacion de colores, raro, porque a mi el rosa no me gusta para nada, pero en esta imagen queda bien, muy bien. Ademas, me encanta el borde, es re lindo.
Pensé mucho en el amor y cómo se expande y genera más de sí mismo en diferentes formas, ya sea entre amigos, familiares, personas que se respetan o ese alguien. Me encanta que lo hayas visto de ese modo. =D

Con respecto a los colores... es cierto que lo que transmiten es diferente, sobre todo en los trabajos vectoriales. Yo relaciono esa frialdad que decís con que no quedan trazos evidentes de la mano que lo hizo, eso significa que los colores quedan perfectamente planos y los gradientes perfectamente balanceados. No hay una huella de la herramienta o de la mano detrás de esa herramienta. Al menos no del modo en que queda en el arte tradicional.

De todos modos, el amor puede incluso con el más frío de los medios. :heart: :P

********* English version :D *********

While doing this I though a lot about love and how it spreads and creates more of itself in different ways, like among friends, family, people that respect each other and that special one also. ;)

About the colors, it is true that they communicate differently. I relate the sensation of coldness in it, mostly in some vector art, with the smoothness of the colors and the gradients. There's no evident trace of the tool or the hand behind the tool but the work itself. At least not in the way traditional art does.

Anyhow, love can beat even the coldest of media. :heart:

Thank you so much for the :fav: , for your kind comment and for noticing the retro-ish. It is subtle, but I was thinking of it while making this and it pass on to the work somehow. =D

Thanks, I am really proud of that border myself. I love those kind of borders. ^^
