An editorial piece for the Performance Edge Journal issue 2, on demystifying VoIP call quality measurements.
I’ve updated this illustration to create more depth by adding detail to the foreground VoIP dogs, and blurring the background into space.

Nice! I love the mixed-media approach. It’s very sophisticated (also love the angles and colors). It kind of reminds me of the way you used to work a couple years ago (Victor and Rolf comes to mind) but I could be wrong. It’s definitely a step forward!

Wow, you’ve got some mad skills!!

Might have been interesting in seeing the most details in the foreground “pets” and less as it goes back. Add to the sense of depth. Right now it seems like the person has the most focus.

This is great! I think this is one of your strongest of your most recent pieces! Well done.

Totally valid point for added depth.

Well done :) well done in deed!

Nice update. Simple and effective. (It was wrong of me, but I loved the detail in the man’s clothing before. I think that’s because I love clothing and red shoes)

Haha, me too. I’d rather draw clothing than robot dogs, that’s why I had spent more time on him than adding to the pups.

Great work!

Wowwwww!! That’s awesome! I love the blurred background – gives the eyes more focus on the robodogs.
1:33 pm on July 3rd, 2007
Groovy Illo!

Nicely done Tina. I think it’s a great image.
6:30 pm on July 3rd, 2007
Awesome! One question- do you have to scoop up their oil spills?
7:29 pm on July 3rd, 2007
One good thing about robot dogs is that you can program them to clean up their own oil spills!

Wow, great work Tina. I love the robo pups, but there you go, I am a bit of a geek

Wonderful composition. I would love to have a Robo-dog!
