I love Game of Thrones. Deal with it. 😛

teefury_fire-song_1402373890_full

06/10/14 Top Pick; Fire Song

The first in a pair of matching A Song of Ice and Fire designs. That’s Game of Thrones for you non-readers. Here we have the southern kingdoms and their noble houses.

starComposition – Wonderfully well-balanced and dynamic combination of components.

starColor – Bright regal golden fire appearance.

starLines & Forms – Great amount of details on such a complex design.

Thank You Jonito

06/10/14 Top Pick; Ice Song

The northern half of the pair. This design is a perfect foil to the other. See if you can spot all the details. It’s like a game of “Where’s Walder?”. Hint: the towers of the Twins are in there for House Frey.

starComposition – While this design is slightly different again, wonderfully well-balanced and dynamic combination of components. All the components are slightly different from the other design but work well together also.

starColor – Nice icy blues.

starLines & Forms – Great amount of details on such a complex design.

Thank You Jonito

06/10/14 Top Pick; The Knight’s Watch

starTexture – I really enjoy the distressed texture on the black areas giving them interest and complexity.

star Composition – Great use of positive and negative spaces. The men create a dynamic balanced pyramid by their placement in ascending order.

star Humor – Need I say more?

Okay, first of all I want to thank everyone who is supporting and reading my blog! Second, I want to explain how busy I’ve been lately. Outside of this blog I have a full-time job, do freelance design and photography, and have a 2-year old daughter. I know, “woe is me”, right?

Anyway, I’m trying something a little different to simplify things so I can get these posts done faster while maintaining quality and the daily post quota.

Still with me? Awesome! I hope you enjoy the posts going forward with the new format. I’ll still be posting more “Website to doorstep reviews” but those take a lot of time. Stay tuned!!!

05/27/14 Top Pick; Tiny Dark Tower

star Creativity  – Interesting Tiny Tower and Lord of the Rings concept. I enjoy the little scenes within each level.

star Execution – Nice pixel art design with a wonderful amount of details on the simplified figures.

star Color Scheme – Wonderful color combinations on the warm gray background.

05/27/14 Top Pick; Dragon

star Figures – Both figures are rendered very nicely in a sketch like quality.

star Composition – Wonderful asymmetric design. The larger “Mother of Dragons” head is nicely balanced with the smaller, darker Khal Drogo head.

star Texture –  Smooth pen and ink texture with interesting ink blots on a light gray background.

star Complexity – Great thin lines and dynamic angles in the figure’s hair develop a baby dragon.

05/26/14 Top Pick; Hokusai Gojira

Amazing bold composition contained within the large red circle. The bright red is extremely eye-catching, especially since it is cleanly set on a white background. The solid bold colors also give the design a woodblock print appearance which works nicely as a shirt design as well. All the little curves in the wave breaks create a wonderful complex texture and make up the traditional Japanese “Great Wave” style. Godzilla literally comes out of the water about to crash on shore like a wave. An excellent visual metaphor depicting the wave of Godzilla about to crash onto Japan.

Thank You Mdk7

05/26/14 Top Pick; You Win or You Die

Wonderful design composed of the different house sigils of Game Of Thrones. All the animals seem to nicely compliment each other . They fit together nicely while clawing at each other to sit on the Iron Throne. I also very much enjoy the color scheme. The animals seem to be depicted in a warmer cream gray while the background is a nice cool blue gray . The floral decorative design uniting the composition is composed of the red leaves of the great weirwood trees. The Iron Throne sits in the middle of the design, with the wolf and the lion most closely vying for control. This focal point of the design is also the focal point of the show, as the Starks of the North battle the Lannisters in the South.
