haha. congratulations man! another one is turning out great fatcat. i am just laughing because i am waiting for hermiks comment here. i am sure he will. and there will be an "exe file" in his comment. you know why? the stye you have going on is great. it really is! like me.. work on the sharpness. the last part of those two cute jets misses some love. the shapes there are a little unconnected and rough. but hey.. i donīt want to jump on you and your work. but donīt stop it! detail makes a lot in wallpapers. go on and youīll have your place. the ideas behind are great. now it comes to the part where you have to take them on the paper. take care man! good luck and please donīt stop it. you can! it just needs a little kick

i think this is too basic. almost like a kiddie cartoon. It looks incomplete, like you didn't spend enough time working on it. details, details, details.

i think i agree with caesar, it looks like it was kinda rushed. i like the concept, but it needs finishing

I put myself in the 'unfinished' camp too. Just lacks a certain something ....

I agree with most here. It looks plain, unfinished, and the jets certainly need some more love. The cartoony-type thing is fine, but these jets look like birds. There's not much to the shading of this piece, either. Just needs a bit more work.

Yup, i don't like it. the "jets" really don't catch my eye enough to enjoy this, it could be because it looks incompleat. its nice, but there isn't enough of anything going on to keep me happy with the fact that its nice.

This is an excellent piece. It in fact DOES look complete - anything more would ruin it. The jets in particular are very well done - detailed, with uneven edges (nice touch.) The whole piece has a mock-50's Science Fiction appeal to it. This theme would go well with most pixel-styel themes, like the TomTom seriies by jromo, and of course, it would also go very well with your Construct visual style (version 1.)

This is an excellent twist on vector art. Keep it up! I look forward to part 2 of the series.

if the wings matched, it would be tight.

Very nice work. :-) I love the classic look. I was instantly reminded of the Jetsons for some reason. Thank you for a beautiful piece.

I dig this wall... Vector is quite simple though, that is what the -2 is for, if there were some finer details, this would be perfect in my opinion.. Oh, and by the way.. this COMPLETELY reminds me of a crazy song you all should download, it's by a crazy techno group called Coil, the song is called Red Birds Will Fly Out Of The East And Destroy Paris. I just thought I would let everyone know.

nice work! the tail wing needs a bit of smoothing tho, I can see a bit jagged lines.

Not much there, and what is there is very crude, but it has a charm.
