hahah! awesome!

deus ex machina means "god from a machine."
it's a literary technique...anyway, this is the literal version of it!
mezo

Art means what YOU want it to mean, alina. Neat design, the intricate God hand looks fabulous. The colors chosen are so weird, but strangely work. Instead of a floating human hand, why not a smaller full figure reaching up?

Deus ex machina referred to the tricks that playwrights would use to solve an impossible/unlikely plot situation. In other words, the sky would suddenly open up and the hero would be lifted into the sky for no reason, other than to get him out of jeopardy...

danrule
   danrule on Jul 11 '07
mezo, I tried it with a human figure, but it came across as too specific. I thought a human hand would be more of a symbol, more universal.

Is there any way to make the hand be more in the style of the god hand or the clouds and less photographic looking?

Excellent design. I definitely think you should keep the human hand -- parodies "Hand of God" nicely.

the detail on that mechanical hand is unreal... i would buy it for that reason alone!
jackiejacktoo
jackiejacktoo on Jul 12 '07
cloud needs to be heavier, just by the wrist, so it can seem to come from behind the foremost puff. . . It makes it more of a god reference if the human hand is there. maybe a very small human hand/ or small figure reaching up?

i like this but i think the human hand should have been more clear a bit like the robot hand or lose it and make the cloud more dense GREAT CONCEPT THOUGH
FRICKINAWESOME
FRICKINAWESOME on Jul 13 '07
The positioning of the robotic hand really wierds me out, but in a good way. Just an odd position to draw it, but by no means does this mean i don't dig it. I didn't like the human hand at first, but looking at the entire composition on the tee, it really blends in better. Great idea and fantastic placement equals a robotic god-fearing 4$ from me.

I actually like the human hand but would actually like to see it as simple line art, just a black line with no fill to contrast the complexity of "gods" hand.

Beautiful work and pleased to see it has received the attention it deserves.

I dont think the human element is necessary, but it works either way, and is gorgeous

I really dig this. It reminds me of Terry Gilliam's animation on Monty Python. Great visual. I wouldn't change a thing.
helo
helo on Jul 15 '07
the light color & fuzzines (halftone) of the human hand gives
it the appearance of being beyond (behind) the machine hand
which makes it look like the hands missed at their attempt
to touch

Cantatus on Jul 16 '07
Fantastic idea, but I agree something needs to be done with the human hand. If not lose it, then something that makes it so it doesn't just look like a floating hand.

Awesome design! What do you think about juxtaposing your deus ex machina hand in place of the deus hand in Michelangelo's Sistene Chapel work?
