Illustration Friday 1 of 2 Green: Green with Envy©
This piece was constructed using pen and ink and then taken into photoshop. There were, about a thousand variables with applying the printed words. (I of course saved em all) and that means ( my poor computer is now pokey) The result I was happiest with is shown here, because of the shape of the figure.(its got a meaner curve). In another piece I really liked the concept of dealing with the envy in your inner self...(at least thats how it spoke to me). I appreciate any feedback, insights or comments and thankyou in advance, to everyone, who comes to visit my blog and leaves a comment!!!! They are treasured. :)

:) It looks so trendy and posh.. do you do illustrations for fashion magazines? It's really nice your style here on green!
cool concept and lovely design..
i really like the one on top! nice work Jan!
Janice, this is so cool! I love the words and the subtle opposites of the two women.
and thanks for the nice comment!! I'm still learning how to use all this software, but I think I'll always have time for a good old pen and ink version too!
Waw, they are both amazing. Wouldn't want to get in her way!
They are really good! Great concept and expression.
Thanks for posting to my blog. Keep in touch!
Very nice! Good use of space and design. :)
Beautiful piece - the way you framed her face with her hair is nicely reminiscent of the great illustrators of the 4o's/50's, like Al Parker and Coby Whitmore. I like your use of type as an element too. Very polished.
great illos! i like the double image one but I think I like the top version best because of the way the words follow the curve of her thigh.
nice look, line work, expression, and concept
Well they're both interesting and good designs, but the top piece is definitely my favorite, with it's cleaner lines, she has a kind of in your face-I'm here baby. Beautiful impressive in it's energy and overall style!
Very nice!!
Really nice. I'm leaning toward the top one.
Nice one! She looks so sleek & mean. Very well done.
I like the calligraphic movement of the line you drew her with, very organic, yet really polished. And I can see why it was so hard to set aside any of the variations.
Hi!! ^_^
Thanks for visited my blog! :) I appreciate it!
The green brings envy feeling, like the typography and lines. ^O^
Very strong compostition in the top version - the offset vacant area strengthens the negative, isolated feeling of the character. Also the red nail polish shows refinement yet a little cattyness. Awesome work!
nice line work,it looks like Gwen Stephani
thankyou for the comments... sometimes other peoples give you insights that you might not have yourself... !
and Mr. Prudell... I googled and checked out gwen staphani... and I can see why you see some similarities...... :)
These are both fun. I like the first one and the negative space. Big fan of the lettering, too.
I really like this picture!!
Wow, excellent concept and stylish execution!
