Description

This is, I guess you could say, my tribute to the fantastic Alphonse Mucha, one of the premier artists of the (all-too-brief) Art Nouveau movement. There is absolutely no denying his influence on my work, and I was excited to go for an all-out blend of Mucha & me in this poster.

About the content, you may have noticed that most Art Nouveau posters advertised the most superfluous luxury items, like rolling papers and tiny chocolate cookies, usually being displayed Vanna White-style by a curvy and barely-clothed woman with luxurious locks. Well, I decided my modern-day unnecessary luxury item would be the Apple iPad. It's pretty unusual for me to be at all subtle or use visual metaphors in my work, but they're all there this time.

This took ages and was done in Photoshop CS5. Hope you enjoy.

EDIT: Thanks so much for the DD! :heart:

Hello Kyohei here well let us get started shall we <img class="avatar" src="a.deviantart.net/avatars/c/h/c…" alt=":iconchallengeacceptedplz:" title="challengeacceptedplz" />. Positives always first, First impressions I love the coloration and designs of this piece. It hasd a warm and summery feel to it and I would love to nap under that tree, from what I see. <img class="avatar" src="a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/l/s…" alt=":iconsleepingonionplz:" title="sleepingonionplz" />

Now for the not so positive I have a suggestion for you I personally would have expanded the picture showing more of the tree and background. I like the flowers but the border between the flowers and the the picture picture I wouldn't have added that, not to knock on your work just personal opinion. Well I would have personally taken this picture in a whole other direction.

But still nice picture all together keep up the good work Jacinthe-chan <img class="avatar" src="a.deviantart.net/avatars/h/a/h…" alt=":iconhandsomeonionplz:" title="handsomeonionplz" /> p.s. I honestly didn't know what to say about this piece just improvised my whole critique XD
