Artist's Comments
Do you think he ever will come back home?
Made in Illustrator CS3 Daily DeviationGiven 2009-05-12The lost child of the moon by =JCallius (Suggested by =Freesong and Featured by ^Ikue) Comments Wonderful work!
  This is a very interesting and creative work. I like it!
 -- Remember: Life is always better with sprinkles!   Please take a few minutes to browse through my gallery and then visit another random deviant!  So much detail and expression!
 Ah. Having the child as the point of interest is... wow.
 -- Through the power of Memory and of Imagination, do we not swim through the rivers of Time at will, dividing both into our Past and Future?  If he gets hungry he'll probably go back home, that's my guess
 --  ..we're all out there..  Love it. The buildings in the foreground. The fading city on the hills. The tower. The look of the "moon child" toward the moon. Very nice work.
-- -Byron Koontz Amateur Photographer  Is he often going out in the full moon? So! don't worry he will come back tomorrow! It is a juvenile lunatic syndrome!
Fantastic! as always! Thank you very much!

Critiques
He uses the basic design principles to great effect, particularly the repetition of the circle motif, in the main shapes as well as the shading, and I especially like the highlights on the eyes. The face is extremely expressive, yet created with such simple shapes. The figure, the charming expression, and especially the bandages all convey a very touching story, yet there is plenty of detail in the cityscape to keep the viewer engaged.
I also think the limited color palette contributes a lot to the image, as does the restrained use of a few different textures on a few objects, and the repeated star in the sky and a few rooftops.
The one place I would fault the image is on the technical side, where there is noticeable, distracting banding in the fades in the successive roof lines. I would think that the introduction of a *tiny* bit of noise in the final uploaded image could have significantly reduced that effect, without an appreciable negative impact on the rest of the image.
But all in all, quite lovely!
