death of a sunset
I seem to have death on the mind.5 total reviews

Initially, I had thought you were doing a slogan for the kamikaze beverage. The sunset rippling out its sheen around the word gave me that impression. Nice colors, presentation of lettering and the background suits the subject's illustration. If it were to have connotations of death and destruction..the sunset appears as a sunrise to me and doesn't quite fit with the themes of the word. It contrasts with the impressions, I at least drew from it.

You are the very first person to critique my work. Wow. Anyways, yes, it seems a happy ad-like piece, but the death part......well, my family has experienced a few tragedies in the last few months, first being the suicide of my uncle on thanksgiving. Happy times, the colors, kamikaze, suddenly. Also, while that happened, the deterioration of my granny, my uncle's mother, the matriarch is still going on. It's a gradual process, like a setting sun, but morbid, because she has alzhemers. Pretty, because she has had a wonderful long life. I know, my mind doesn;t work quite right. Songs I write tend to be sweet, happy melodies with blackened, off beat words. Anyways, thank you so much for taking an interest!!!

you're actually the first to give me that eval, even I never thought of it! Oh, I love this, I've never really had my work critiqued (besides idiot friends who say how cool it is while staring at the tv.)
I know, my mind doesn;t work quite right. Songs I write tend to be sweet, happy melodies with blackened, off beat words about desperation and being alone. Anyways, thank you so much for taking an interest!!!

Excellent colors on this picture and a very unique use of the word Kamikaze. I like how the sun is Kamikazing the water much like a sunset in hawaii.

This is okay. The colours are good but I think that the working overides the sunset. The background colour should have been a brighter colour too
