Please resubmit once you have updated the NPA parts

well it's a nice work, but the red fish lacks of isometric depth, the blue fish has got an incorrect back fin (lacks of depth too) and it seems too long like it goes beyond the border of the pool. Keep it on!

remember that this is a commercial illustration.. its main purpose is not to be innovative but to illustrate a subject so symbolically that you could guess what the article is about without even glancing at the headline.

Which is EXACTLY what this illo does, and it does it well.

That's why in this case, the obvious choice of a wide-known metaphor works perfectly (although it might seem cliche to many.)

Looks good :D Red fish doesn't have isometric feel as much as blue one.

Dear friends,
The NPA part (the logos) will be fixed as soon as possible.
And about the idea, when you do creative work sistematicaly, you can´t be always a genius. Sometimes we like more one idea than other and even the main theme can be more or less entusiastic.
Thank you for all your inputs  ;-)

@Cameira, so that you understand Pixeljoint. Effects like the logos are acceptable in the real world and commercial field. However, we learn from each other and pixel purity and technique is our main focus. If you could update using the 'edit details' with a version not showing those layers or remaking them by hand is highly appreciated.
The idea is not that terrible too, Its clever :)

the logos are deffo not handpixeled (the yahoo logo itself has something around 100 colors, i smell photoshop's transform function). thus this is not pixelart as definded by pixeljoint.

also: big fish eating small fish as metaphor for a takeover - nothing too interesting from the creative point of view.
