Totally thought il miss this one but made it at last moment. I wanted to animate it though but no time.Entry for this weeks challenge. I tried a lil expreiment on this.

I didnt had my tablet around so I made my first line art in illustrator. I transferred it directly in photshop and it gave me exact pixels at correct location. Made work easy. Many would say that could have been done in photshop as well but I just find illustrators pen 'toolset' more efficient. Since im a beginner I have a feeling this little thing will come handy :)

 Moving it up a bit might distance it more fro the body and make the illusion clearer, I think. :)

@ Hardrockangel : Thank you for the feedback. Could you suggest how can I make the floating head visible more clearly in original size?

 I quite likehow the colours pop, but I think the highlight around his neck on the collar may be too strong? 

It wasn't until I zoomed in taht I noticed the head had to be afloat like it is, since the brightness of the highlight + the brightness of the "orb / body" merges too much together. I also think the arm may need some stronger outline since the lines disappear in the cape completely.

It is a good piece composition-wise, though! The swirls in the background add a nice touch against the stark black.

Thanks for the feedback Cels!

I love this. Fantastic design. The only thing that bothers me a bit is the mouth. It looks good with a 3x zoom, but the bottom lip looks like teeth from a 1x view. Maybe it's just me.
