I submitted 3 drawings as icons for a salsa dance team. These are the two that were not chosen.
This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨
Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.
Ooo I like the first one a lot. Do you have the one that was chosen?
Thank you!! It has a lot of meaning in it:
It shows the individual dancers.
The lady is the beauty and focus of the dance. She is in his arms and submissive (follow dance role). Her other hand is in his showing she is giving him control. Her face is also up and careless. I tried to make the hair look like two different women on the team, one kinky hair and the other straight-curvy. I didn't realize it at the time, but I guess it represents the blended nature of Latin culture and salsa. Though admittedly, that wasn't my original intent. It just naturally happened that way, which I guess is more authentic anyway.
The guy is to the side and the stable force that is keeping her up (lead dance role). He's looking down at her because he controls the dance. He is holding her hand up confirming he accepted control. The hair is also ambiguous.
The white space between them shows that when they are dancing, they become one.
The colors represent the studio's name.
Yes, I do have the chosen one, but since it's for the team, I rather wait until it is finalized before sharing it.
