Great work, I love the buildings that grows into the distance. One thing I dislike, is the thingy in the sky, that's sorta cutted into pieces and then put back together. But still a very good job, especially because of the relative emptyness of the picture. A lot of vector artists tends to stuff all sorta fancy shapes into the picture, causing it to loose it's harmony. But not you.

Whenever I go to it it just comes up with the "Logged in deviantART members don't see these ads. Join today." page, so I click continue, but it just comes up with the page again, I go to deviantart.com and login, it still does it.

[Qued]

Ok here.

[lorren.biffin]

No tut used :) I really like vector art one guy that I have on my watch does amazing work and I get alot of inspiration from his work.

Your colours are clashing, 100% of what makes good art are good colours.

well, not 100%... but a very high percentage nonetheless

The structure of the arrows is too bland... you need to stylize them... make the arrowhead shorter and the tail wider, play around, don't do anything that is "normal"

[Qued]

Lol I have I can't do anything to the arrows because everything on there is a brush stroke. :P I mean I would if I could, and I never knew there was normal to someones thought.

[Theros]

Well lol... Aren't brush strokes kinda cheating?

[Qued]

Well lol... Aren't brush strokes kinda cheating?
Is'nt making digital art kinda cheating? After all its not really art, Art is sculptures and paintings and drawings.
Also here is something else I made not big of a change because I still have a builing and arrows going on but its pretty cool im starting to wonder if I went a bit over board with the stars?

Well, what I meant is that your just taking someone else's work and just chaning the color and the position.......? That's what brushes are no?

I thought brushes were something you downloaded and installed and were allowed to use as a brush in photoshop. Hmm, And if what you say is true then that means that even if you don't use downloadable brushes and only use the default then you are still cheating because it is originally adobes work, and in the end every piece of art made by photoshop should not be copyrighted by the users because its already copyright of adobe... :P

[Qued]

Alright I'll change that.

[Olli]

Well remember to credit those who made those brushes (arrows and the houses and the cricles) To me you are just showing examples of others work(brushes)

you've got alot to learn
edit: took the lol away cause it sounded so harsh ^^ peace out!

[fasterthanlight™]

Hrmm, yea the stars are a little too "Hello Kitty Lolzz!!!oneoneone" for me, and you might want to try and lower the overall opacity of the sunrays

[Qued]

Yea lol.

**note: You can still stretch/transform objects created with a brush (re: wonky looking arrows) :thumb:
