The Mob

[lomki]

Hi all,

I'm new on concept art after several years posting on the french forum café salé.
I think it's time to show my illustrations to a more international audience, so to start a piece I did two days ago, hope you'll enjoy !:^^:

Hi!! I really like the style you have!! There's something humorous about the violence in this piece! XD

Now for this next paragraph, since you're finished, I'd say just think about it at the very least:

I'm wondering, was it meant to look so random, as far as the perspective and placement of...mob people?? I mean, they look all over the place! Where in a few spots it works, I'm not sure if it does well for that center mobster shooting in the direction of that almost hidden person that just got shot (on the right). Is the mobster shooting at that person on the right? If so, you might need them to be positioned more on the same level. Cuz right now, the person on the right looks like they're getting shot from a mystery person! ...And about to put one right through the center guy's kneecap!! O_O Ouch!!

Otherwise, cool stuff!! I hope to see more! ^_^

JazzW>> thanks for your comment ! happy you like the style, it's kind of new for me and I'm trying to dig into that direction...

for the placement, It's not that random as I'm seing this scene from the mob point of view... wether the gunfight is cops or another gang...
So for me the dead guy on the right is part of the gang and the center one is moving forward, keeping up the fight ! but everybody is free to imagine the story he wants behind this image :)
