Too dry, one dimensional, and saturated. Needs a light source and color compliments to make it stand out. The effects are boring and cluttered, they need a sense of direction rather than being clumped together to make something fit back there, and around him. The typography should be sharpened, and the opacity shouldn't be so low on them. They should also be closer together. The effects should have consistency, rather than being a jumble of different things of spiraling off into different directions. The stock also needs some sharpening. Too choppy. experiment.
cute. but needs a light source. needs some colors to mix in, I'd suggest pastels. some of its overly sharpened. the 't' on the 'bust' is hindered by the effect behind it or on top of it. the typography's decent, but try something smoother. The tag in general could lose the border. The style's simplistic, but for your next style - expand your effects beyond just using tooling, stroking, and custom shapes.
lmfao. thank you so much. chyea. it was actually there the entire time, it was just blended in because of the reflected light from the newspaper, or just from the blending hues caused to be sorta invisible. Josh's a left hemisphere boy. So I figured that incorporating an enormous rubix cube was only fitting. <3
new version up. just decided to scrap the newspaper, all together. i think this version looks more dynamic. thanks a bunch for the comments <3 Lul. Yea. It was late last night, so I kinda tuned out the fact that the blur looked so ****** compared to everything else.
Meh. I was trying to make the focal of 'josh' stronger. But that's completely understandable. I'll just **** around with it until; I find another texture that fits with the concept and just have that over it. Thanks, babe.
- keeper keychain. Here's mine, in the form of a large piece for my boyfriend. Took hours to finish. Hopefully he'll be on either today or tomorrow to see it when I link him =3
The effects are all skyrocketing in different directions. The colors are dry and saturated, and need more colors in pastels to help this piece pop. Also needs depth to help improve its composition. I like the style, but the tag in general feels incomplete.
the composition in all of them is as sexy as ****. But they're only lacking a bit of more diverse typography, and pastels to compliment them. If you make the 'love' one in the second set like 150x150 or 125x125 or the porn star one..I'd so want them. I'd also suggest to play around with adding more depth to the contrast, and not just relying on switching the original colors to more saturated hues. Like in the Madonna one for instance. Also. It might just be the way you posted them here, but they look a bit stretched.
lmfao. All you have to do, is make a new layer, and lightly brush a lighter color compliment. For instance, I looked at her skin and grabbed a very light and rusty brown to go over it, then I used light and rusty blues/reds, and just kept going. I'm about to digivolve out of it though. I'm getting too fond of it. I'm glad you like it though ;3
Too bright, dry, flat, and one dimensional. The text needs to be brought closer to the render. Lacks a focal. The color choice needs work. You should work with compliments, rather than smashing a bright yellow-orange combination for a light source. Just looks like you added a filter or two. Lacks creativity. Interesting experimenting. Just make sure you don't grow to rely on that, solely.
It has no depth, flow, or crispness to it. The effects are too clumped together and messy to really tell there was too much effort put into it. The colors need more variation, and the stock choice should be slightly sharpened. It's a bit choppy at the moment. Also needs a good light source. Lacking one at the moment. Don't just fill the background with repeated loops and dashes of the same effects for the sake of just /having/ something back there. The effect direction for the stretch of the stock is the only thing going right for this, imo.
3 and 7 are the only ones that have some originality to them. The others look dry and flat, rather than colorful, cute and crisp. Intensify the colors, add some depth to the composition by using Levels and Curves. The font choice is too sharp. Should be rounder or else the eye will focus too much on how much they stand out, rather than the little effects you put into the avatar, as a whole. I'm also seeing some repetition in that scatter - star effect going on. You may not have a lot of room to work with, but switch it up. The more you use it, the more you'll figure that's the only way a decent avatar should be made.
oh hai. Made her purr this morning with these colors, babes. cnc, siempre. Only downside is that there really isn't a focal. Otherwise, I touched up on everything. But if you can spot something off, just holler. Oh. New piece I made for KHI's SOTW: I friggin love it.
If something's mellow, you spice it up with a different color to make the focal stronger. You can change the direction of any stock, including its composition. It's just boring to me, imo. And the gradient doesn't help it. Of course I know what that is, lmfao. I think you can do better <3
You need to add more variation to your style. All I'm seeing are a series of duplications changed to different opacities, distorted, and angled with the stocks to create some sort of /flourishing/ effect. Next to that, the light sources are blotchy and lower the quality of the stock. The third one's nice, but could use some work with pastels. The typography in all of these is basic. I'd like to see you experiment with different fonts, rather than staying rooted to the thick, traditional font choices. I'd also suggest to grow out of relying on those scatter brushes to create the illusions of fireflies, sparks, or 'stars.' Experiment.
In all honesty, I don't find any of the effects you've added to be original. All it is is just a combination of filters that people normally wouldn't touch because they usually don't improve a stock's composition. If you're going to stick with filters, make sure that they actually compliment a stock, rather than distort it to the point where it makes it look blotchy, choppy, and recycled.
There should definitely be more color variation. With the effects, it makes the tag look flat, dull, and predictable. The brushing should be better angled with your render, and the brushes shouldn't be so clumped together. The text destroys it. The typography should be crisper, rounder, and more precise.
It's nice. But the text kills it, IMO.
The quality of the tag in general is choppy. The effects are messy, and those thick, black effects should be smoother and more crisp. They don't really add to the other effects. They look more like a random throw in. The colors are boring and saturated. I understand that they're more snags from the color of the stock, but I'd suggest to find stronger color compliments rather than just staying to those dusty oranges, browns, etc. Then the background being divided between two different colors throws off any symmetry that the tag might've had. It still needs a lot of work, overall.
two new tags. go look. and thanks for the comments. Chyea. I know that my composition varies. That yellowish one I tried to make to mimic a painting. Just with a 1700's painting before deterioration in general. As for the pink cherry girl up there..yea, I was thinking of adding some complex tooling to the right, but I got lazy. And time, Cin? Lul. I have all day. I just make.make.make till' I'm satisfied.
