Description
A poster project for school... 100% photoshop.
I decided to take a surrealistic approach. An innocent looking young girl toting an inflated 'balloon' bomb. She seeme oblivious to the nature of her toy, just wandering some windy hayfield with an absent expression. The hue of the poster invokes a dreary mood - reinforcing the juxtaposition of war and innocence. The bomb is obviously floating, but seems to defy the forceful wind.
I did it in about 2 hours late at night. The biggest issue I've had is that the bomb is mistaken for a blimp or zeplin. Hopefully the yellow lettering and green panels will help.
Enjoy!

First of all I want to say how cool I think your style is. Poster project for school...yes. Illustrations for children's books...a much bigger yes. Its a perfect style. As for the bomb, permit me a small suggestion. Maybe some darker tonality on the balloon/bomb to make it a little more menacing. I must confess to not reading it as a bomb until reading your explanation. But please don't let that take away from what I think is just a wonderful style. Great job!!! -jay
love your bomb...this is a powerful image for the children get hurt the most in war for they donot understand it .We adult do not understand war at times too.

Great job, you achieved your intent with style, the message is clear & it's beautifully done.

At first I thought of a Zeppelin, not a bomb. But nevertheless the image has charme IMO. Surreal? I did not feel it (perhaps I left reality?). I like your style very much.

Beautiful style and execution, I saw a bomb straight away, the colour and writing gave that away for me :) Thank you so much for sharing :)
Absolutely fantastic job.
excellent art work just wow
What talent! I recognized it as a bomb instantly and think you've created a splendid message with a wonderful contrast of beauty, innocence and warning/dread. Fantastic!
Once in a while an image comes along that is so unique, so original and so perfectly executed, that it is elevated above everything else. This is one of those images and I love everything about it - bravo! . . . And thanks for sharing it :)
charming, dreamy and so expressive.

Excellent image.
Maybe it says more about me than the image, but I knew from the first look that this was a bomb.
What a superb idea and done so excellent! If I could, I`d vote it twice!
SUBERB! EXCELLENT! The best yet. Eric you are so talented!
very, very.. talented..... indeed... I have never really seen an 100% photo shop art work like this..... It would be terrific for you to do one concerning the dangers of land mines.
In the thumbnail I saw Zeppelin, but in the large version it's easily recognizable as a bomb. Excellent style ! Schitterend !
Once again you are showing your creativeness. Masterwork
A Excellent work!, fantastic!
