My heart sank, too..
I like your work, far more than most of the OQ semi-sinalists.

Thank you very much, I appreciate that

This didn't do very well at all so it's good to hear something nice about it!

Ah I love thick sans serif fonts! You can put a lot of detail in them, like you've done here. The small swirls of the waves are nice. I also didn't notice how you replaced the hole in the R in 'heart' with a heart until the third time I looked, Nice touch! I think if you made the fish just a fish shape it would look better, also as the blue gets darker the contrast is lost so it's hard to see zoomed out, so if they got progressively darker as well it would be improved. Speaking of color, You did a great job going with the complementary colors of this blue and red! The glow around the heart is really nice, makes it stand out. The A in the heart could be a bit wider because it's hard to make out, but I think it's fine either way. Lastly, I love the "original quote" Angler fish, Very clever and neat. Overall really nice job! Good luck with future contests, you definitely have talent here in your gallery

Thanks! Good to get some constructive criticism

I deliberately made the fish dark to give the impression of being far away, I wasn't worried about making them easy to see really. Glad you like the colours, when I looked at it afterwards I wished I'd made the gradient more pronounced but sure. I think the glow round the heart is cool but I'm not sure if something like that good even be printed. Thanks again for your lovely comment

Honestly gradients are hard to screen-print unless you have special screens (not an expert but I did ask a teacher once haha!)). But as a poster, this is very nice and definitely worth keeping in your gallery. I see about the fish now, now that you say that it looks cool how they fade away. Keep them ^_^ Also the gradients are perfect, subtle change and has a nice flow. Sometimes subtle contrast is just what a piece needs! Keep up the fantastic work love!

Tehe I'm glad you agree about the fish! I was trying to get a sort of "far away" underwater effect. Naw thanks, nice to meet someone genuinely nice randomly like this
