some of your pieces are really good, some arent that good.
i think your photoshop ones are better than some of your gimp ones

some of my faves:



i think you should get more fonts though. some of them just don't fit with the picture. dafont.com is a good place

Thanks for the feed back :D yeah I prefer Photoshop to GIMP, I can't handle Gimp to well.

-Added new graphic.

I feel like I'm the only one who likes Gimp over PS. =[

Your works is pretty good.

I think the icon is nice. Has some nice colors. =] The text is okay, but I bet you could use another type of font. What I can suggest it maybe add some textures to your icon. Your icon would look a little less boring. Adding textures is just a suggestion, you don't have to do it, I just think it'd spice up the icon a bit. ^..^

That's probably all I have to say about the icon. Nice job. I'll check on this thread for more work. =]

Nice gallery : ) Rly enjoy the icon : ) With vulpix.

But you should pratice the text : / most of the text is kinda bad : D

But I know text always been a hard thing to do. Try using clipping mask on it : ) (Y)


Keep up the good work

Nope, I prefer Gimp over PS too :D

Oh and Galukxy, I also the dragon one! I love how you made it.

Uecil June 6th, 2010 4:27 AM

Thank you! ^^

- added some stuff I was playing around with C4Ds.

hiphiphippo June 6th, 2010 10:24 AM

ooh, i like your new ones ^-^

i think i prefer the brock one without the c4ds
it's really good xDD i love it D;

i like the 2nd and 3rd drapion ones
it seems really small, but you cant really enlarge the sprite without losing quality
you could try cropping it more to make it seem like the drapion is taking up more space

i REALLY like the new one you added with the yellow/orange color scheme

what brush or tool did you use for those wavy line thingies?

Thanks ;D Well, hmn... it was a soft round brush at around 17 in size just draw a diagonal line with the brush and then I just used a smaller brush than that for smudging the painted diagonal line and kept smudging that line till it got a wavy kind of look.

Ha thanks ;D it's just smudging the render and I used a couple of C4Ds and layered them to I think soft light or lighten and set a nebula stock to lighten or colour dodge. I think. anyways adding the one with text.

WonderGirl June 14th, 2010 9:16 AM

keoni July 11th, 2010 4:14 AM

......You atleast improved with the flow...biggest 2 flaws are the horrid text and the horrid collors...use a basic serif/sans serif font and if you use a outer or inner glow keep it at low oppacity and with other colors. bad c4d usage on some of them...

Hmmn.. I can see what you mean via the text, but I can't help what colour it comes out in :\

and thanks for the criticism, it helps :P Well, for some C4D's they weren't really good in the first place x3 so no bigee. but thanks.

Cycle July 11th, 2010 6:19 AM

I suggest not using text until you think you've mastered. The usage of c4d's isn't too pleasing either. Your effects and flow need work too. You lack most of the basics and the effects don't go well together. The sigs are much too messy in some of them.
Keep trying, you'll make it :D
