Hey AP

Here is my piece from the clash. It was a cool round, it's nice to see so many old wallers walling again. Thanks go to the judges and co-ordinates. Without them no comp and no walls.

Here is my my write up for the comp if you want to read it. [readmore]“The Human Condition” is such an open theme with many ways to interpret. After going through all the reference material and doing a bit of research, I found that the Human Condition cannot really be identified as anything particular. Instead I found the human condition is a result of freewill and choice. Humans are the only creatures on earth with the ability to choose. So to me our “condition” is merely a result of our choices. For my wall I wanted to bring out a theme of choice, so the character here has to basically choose a path. A simple choice really, The sign post has a dark arrow and a light arrow, this here is a choice between right and wrong, good and evil. A choice we all make whether we know or not. Basically we choose if we are going to be a good person or not. That in a nutshell is how I interpreted the theme. I was really inspired by the poster for the film “The Human Condition” by Masaki Kobayashi for the style of the wall, I wanted to achieve a graphitti style, something you might actually see painted on a wall somewhere. I also wanted the wall to be a bit surreal, that’s where the colour palette came in. My first colour set was very bright and realistic. Blue skies, green grass, white clouds, etc… However it just didn’t feel right, so I tried a desert setting. This to me works well because it hopefully makes people ask, “Why is that guy in the middle of the desert with a sign post?” and not “Why is it so brown?” I will add a alternate colour schemes at AP when I submit it, but this is the ‘original scheme’. Overall it was a fun theme, and I hope I was able to come up with some a little original and creative, if it’s a crowd pleaser all the better, either way I’m proud of the work.[/readmore]

here are the source scans Main ScanCloudsText

And i also did some alternatives to go with the submission. just for a bit of fun, maybe brown walls aren't your thing. The original is still my favorite and is the one I submitted for the competition. I did the alts just for AP.

I like the brown the best. The outline looks better now as well, well done. You already got my comment, so I'll just say add a "Good round." :D

This was also one of my favorite pieces in the competition. It's so simple yet speaks your interpretation so clearly. I really am loving your choice of colors as well. +fav!

Interesting wall the age old cliche which fork do you take in your life. I also like how one arrow on the sign post is gold while the other is white you could take it further by maybe saying that gold points to either a rich life or maybe it's just a ruse. I might be reading too much into it by saying that but I like walls like this. Really good job.

It's very ironic. Simple concept and colors in the wallpaper make his decision be more serious and complicate. There is hope or regret in the destination?

IT IS HEREEEE! \o/ As I thought, the fullview blew me away again... I simply love the brownish colours and the orange clouds. Also nice idea for the concept; while we're partly instinct based, we can also freely choose how to live our lifes.

Aside from the amazing colors and vectors, I really like the concept that you have incorporated into this. The simplicity of it brings also the wholeness of the wall. <3

Dude, this wall is so cool! It's been a awhile since I saw a cool new wall around here. All versions are cool . I'm using Grunge version for my new desktop for now. About the wall itself...the vector is clean, the subject chosen, the colors and background used fit coolly together.

Love the colors and the concept - those clouds look so fluffy and soft and I like the way he has a choice and that there's a horizon like that with so many possibilities and outcomes! Wish you luck in the second round, too! XD

There's something about this that I like - that I really like. Maybe it's in the simplicity of the imagery, or the colour palate; maybe it's because you attached that fantastic original image for everyone to see where you've pulled the male character from.

Whatever it is, it's a favourite for me.

Well yes, I fail for not commenting AND faving this before. It's impressive what you did with the main scan, I never thought it could be used that way. The color scheme is pretty intereting as well, brown toned walls don't get enough love.

Love the subtle outline around the clouds and the quality of the drawing is just great. The vectoring is very well done as well and the concept is got across even though there is no text. A wallpaper worthy of a favourite with no doubt

I'm honestly speechless for this wallpaper. It looks simple for someone that just nab wallpapers for the first time, but the title and the concept comes together quite splendidly. I can't say too much since I don't have an extremely sharp eye for art, but this one leaves a large impact even without text making this a definite favorite for me.
