Sprites don't belong in the Graphics & Photography forum sweetie.

You're looking for Pixel Art, so you'd probably better edit out those sprites. ;<

i understand that, but it was just a collaberation of everything i have done... i figured it wouldn't be a problem, as long as i stated that it was a graphics gallery.
i will take them down i guess.... V.V

About the Sigs

Okay, you've got the basics, I guess.

The trouble here is that that your renders aren't well blended, they look more slapped on, almost like a sticker, and your banners comprise of three things, text, a render, and a background. No effects or anything for interest, and the result is that the piece of work is rather boring. On occasion, the background doesn't even suit the render. You have to think a little deeper, would Shroomish really go well in a mostly brown background if they're forest Pokemon? However, I don't think that's your biggest problem. Your text doesn't always suit the banner either, you seem to stick with two or three different fonts for the most part, and that might not always work. Normally I'd say that your text was drawing attention away from the render, but I think you mean for the text to be the focal. In this case though, you might want to do something to draw attention to the text. Maybe apply a gradient overlay or a drop shadow or something (though if you're not using Photoshop, that tip might not help.) And using colors other than black, white, green, and red, which seem to be your norm, might help as well. Your tags also have little to no flow, but I think I'll leave that to people who can explain flow a bit better.

Overall, there's definitely room for improvement, which sounds kinda...odd coming from someone who needs improvement herself, but to be honest, it looks like you've got the very basics of it. I would recommend reading through some tutorials that cover a few basic concepts which'll probably benefit your graphics.

thank you.
this has actually helped a lot.
i am currently using gimp, and i haven't really been doing this for long, "you can probably tell" but i think im getting the hang of it.

i will definitely use your advice.
thanks

Those look pretty cool. I was wondering if you could make a Typhlosion avatar?

pm me or send me a visitor message.

the bitter end. January 17th, 2009 1:39 PM

lol, this looks a lot like some of my older stuff!

any who, these are pretty good, though I suggest trying some Gradient maps.

Basically, go to Layers>New Adjustment Layers>Gradient Map, try out different combos. (My faves are Black/White and Orange/Purple and put them on Soft Light layers.
