Can you make another version of your entry without the magnifying glass handle? Just a smooth circle around the sun and hills. Maybe a little less thick too.
Another variation I would like to see is the sun rising behind gentle mountains. I live near Mount Tamalpais, which has a distinct look to it. Maybe you can use this as a model:
Cool idea with the leaves for #31! The yellow sun looks a little too much like an egg yolk with that reflection on it though. I would love to take a look at a version without it.
Thanks dije! Now that I have seen the sun flat, I see that I like it with the shine better. Maybe another way to fix it is to make the sun rays yellow instead of white...
Thank you for all your work and creativity! Having slept on all the designs I am realizing that I really like something about #27. I like the texture of the hills. Want to bring those back. And see if you can make some mountains using this same style?
Next, I actually like the sun from #35 the best so far, but am still curious to see what it would look like if the rays coming off were the same yellow color, or maybe orange like "LIFE" in #35. Or maybe some of each?
I also love your creativity with the different dotted petals around the outside (#36, #40, #41, #61). A very cool and original direction, but I am starting to lean more toward a simpler design. Almost like in #15, only thicker. I am trying to find that difficult balance between too busy and too simple...
PS - I forgot to mention that I do like the shadow effect used in #61. And I like the new sun beams but am still curious to see the older ones in color. Thanks!!!
