DUDE YOURE NOT REALLY IN EGYPT! U CAN’T TRICK US ALL!
mago is widely known as ripped off. that’s von’s works
that’s original art by Von. check his works: http://www.hellovon.com
Von was most likely just his inspiration..
MAN THATS SO FREEEEEKIN’ COOL!
Very very nice!
Not impressed!!! Sorry
Yeah I’m not impressed too
Yeah me neither this should be a regular tut
I understand you’re unimpressed, but why the heck are you apologizing?
Only say sorry when you mean it.
Hey i mean it. . . . . PSD TUTS has great tuts, I would say the best no-line but this tutorial is not one of their best, dont understand why its a plus tut.
Praise when praise is due!
me neither, not good tut. everyone can draw
yea i agree with Steven
Nice, This will help me with a project I’m working on! Never done hand drawn lettering
sorry. too much like von’s by hand drawn
Oh, cool effect. I really need to get a Tuts+ account.
They look cool, very odd/different!
hmm..
dont really know what to think about…
looks intresting
but why plus ?!
Doesn’t look deserved of a Plus rating… but your other Plus tutorials are ace… I’ll be getting membership soon, methinks…
This looks like an interesting/different aesthetic from what else is out there. I look forward to downloading this and dissecting it.
Yeah, im glad you all sit in your little caves talking bout this one stole that etc etc feeling you’re on top of the world with your little doodles..
While the style is similar (read; similar) to HelloVon, it is still executed with perfection, and with a touch of his own style.. Dovjenko is one of my favourite designers – and if hes copying hellovon – and you obviously dont like copying – why are you here? Arent tutorials all about copying and learning?
This is handcraft + digital – theres not many tutorials like this one, so stop complaining and get on with it. Peace.
The detail of the artwork is pretty good besides take a look to his work at behance.
Unfortunately I must agree with the others. It does look very much like a rip-off of Von. Take a look at the A in the first image here and then the A in Von’s piece ‘All is Full of Love’. They look reversed :(
k honestly it does not realy mater if this looks like someone elses work we usualy read tuts to learn new techniques besides if you complete this tutorial yourself i’d hope that you just take the techniques and aply it to your own seting
I am subscriber psd tuts plus, but I will not look at this.
I know the author and his portfolio, he is a great artist, but I think he don´t did a good job here.
Who truly has unique art now a days without it being influenced by one artist or another??
Besides if you’re going to complain about that, then find the originator of grunge photo manipulations lol..
Who are von’s influences? i.e., who does von “rip off”?
http://www.hellovon.com he uses pencil, magomed dovjenko is fan of his works
Look up hellovon. magomed dovjenko is inspired of his works
this author
Von like or not – this is a nice way to do typography, and be utilised in whatever fashion needed, and giving us the tools/knowledge to achieve it is what PSD Tuts is all about right?
I would love to be able to try this tut, but I am not a Plus member as of yet. Just been made redundant :(
wow, everybody is hung up on who copied who…guess what, we are all artists, which means we are motivated by someone else work, we all have been inspired in one way or another, nothing is 100% original…even the Beatles took were influenced by the Hollies…
You all lie if you believe you have never done something similar to someone else…
Good tut, good work, keep it up!!!
The second sentence is missing the word “learn”.
You may complain about the outcome but please don’t say it’s a rip off. Everyone get his inspiraton from many different sources and in conclusion new various art comes up. It’s same thing for musicians, everyone likes different tunes, and the music people are creating is caused by songs that they listen to.
This work is similar to Von’s and at least Kxx, and I believe some other designers. And what’s wrong with that? The guy has his own style in it. These days it’s really hard to be truely original in your work, so much was discovered that you may even not be aware that you “ripped someone’s work off”.
So, please apperciate that this type of art was shown to you, as no other site would probably deliver something like this.
Cheerz ; )
It is a rip off. You have different work styles I can tell you’ve been looking for inspirations. Von’s and kxx’s works aren’t similar. Their styles are the same in every pieces. Yours not.
Inspiration is copying people’s ideas. If you can come up with good ideas, you’re the best. If you’re after inspirations, you suck.
Go out, think, write, draw = true artist.
A true artist can invent in original art, look at Si Scott. Obviously we all know everyone is inspired of Si Scott when we see the flourish typography, he’s the one invented.

umm no

umm yes
Well, that’s your opinion. Si Scott is truely a great artist, but you can’t exclude others only because they use some inspiraton. The whole graphic community is based on inspiration (including photos, illustrations and things surrounding us).
And honestly, how can you tell who is the pioneer of creating particular effects? Maybe something like that was discovered years ago before even Si Scott got into design and you just don’t know about it. It’s a guess, but the truth is you can’t really say who was the first developer of each effect.
Well of course every artist has their own inspiration, even great artist had some sort of influence. There’s a big difference between being inspired and pretty much copying someone’s style though. Mago has some nice work, but a large part of his portfolio is way too similar to Von’s, Kxx’s, and Si Scott’s work. I’m sure as time goes by he will fit into his own, but til then I don’t rate his work beyond “technically impressive”.
I agree with you here…
There is a limit of being ”inspirited” and copying art.
Of course people no wa days copy some techniques, but Mago copied more than just Von’s work, also some of his work looks a lot like Cris Vector’s work.
Your’e an artist when you can come up with your own imagination instead of depending on others.
You can copy some techniques, but don’t copy too far.
Mago is copying a lot and has a high ego, nothing is truly his style, and it’s a shame he can get away with it every time. Hard truth, but yes.
wonderfull good working
Horrible!
looks for me like a strong handcrafted type work – thumbs up mago!
