Digital Art The Light, It Burns...

I tried some new effects with blurring and sharpening.

I really enjoy the Link one. It looks like you stretched it a little far, but that's fine either way. And the color and lighting workds really great. I may not be the best critic, but this is a great piece

 

Thanks man, I'm kind of getting the hang of things, but thanks for the feedback. it really helps. :)

 

Well, first of all, when you're resizing ALWAYS hold down the shift key. That will lock the proportion of the image so that it doesn't get the 'stretched' look.

Anyway, I think it's good that you're playing around with sharpening/blurring, they're excellent for creating depth and giving your signature a more finished look. I think the blending efforts on Link are really nice, too--I only wish you had maybe tried some of the same on the Halo one! I think your backgrounds are pretty interesting as well, but try to stay away from creating one part that is entirely one color--it makes things look very flat. See that large yellow area in the upper left of the Link tag? That's what I mean.

Keep going at it. =]

 

Both seem...nice.But What really annoys me is the link one is stretched out a little.Surprisingly i think the bored actually make the thing look somewhat better :D XD

 

Link's looking a bit thin, don't you think? And about the dissolving look on his arm and shield, that may be a little too much of it. On Master Chief, his blur to the bottom is a bit to...well, blurred. Ease up a bit?

I like them anyway, nicely done.

 

Take Misty's advice. That's the biggest problem I have with these though.

For 1, the smudging looks a bit off to me. Try toning it down and making it flow a bit better. That will help.

For 2 it looks great. The color scheme works great for the Halo stock.

 

Oh, I never knew about that, i'll be sure do to that for now on, thanks. :)

 

I like the link one, though I dont get the background really. If you think this hurts, try the burning tool.

 

I like the Halo one best out of the too. The Link one is bit stretched for my liking but I like the blending effects on the Link quite abit. Overall good job (:
