The tag looks pretty nice overall. Though I think that the bar under the text can be done away with or at least thinned. The squigglies look a little too sharp in places (like at the top) but that can be remedied by erasing with a soft brush. I would have liked to see more reds in there though, to match his hair and pants. But just small subtle touches of red, thrown in there with the purple.

LP stands for Large Piece.

I don't care what it actually is. It looks funny and you should fix it. Now please rate my stuff or I won't rate yours any more.
If you don't want to, then don't.

But I like helping people. I don't understand why you're giving me such a hard time over this. If you don't like the way I critique, too bad. You're going to have to learn to deal with it because I don't change who I am for anybody.

I said nothing unkind. I merely said that if you do not wish to rate my posts, then don't/ You don't have to, just wait until someone else posts.

I think you should both just kind of... simmerrrrr. <_<

SwampertTrainer, I think you should take some time to rate CME's stuff if you get the chance. Because when you reply to her crits, some other idiots who haven't actually read and understood the rules might see your reply post as a free rate, which isn't the way things work. It's just kind of a give-give thing, you know? :<

And, both of you, this isn't a discussion thread. <_< If you really must continue arguing over this subject, there are two very convenient forms of contact on PC known as private messages and profile messages.

Please utilize them.

Wow, haven't been here in forever. :/

@ YOOM-TAH:
It looks pretty decent. I like the c4d you used right beside her arm; it seems to flow perfectly with it. I've only got a couple of beefs with the banner:

1) As I said, the blue c4d looks really nice. However, the red... "thing" beside it kind of screws up the flow. The way they intersect isn't very appealing at all.

2) Behind the render, on the right hand side, it looks as if there's a really blurry c4d, or a motion-blurred bit of background.
... yeah, no. That totally ruins it. It seems to be the only thing going to the right.

But yeah, it's a pretty nice banner. It kinda looks a little plain, but simplicity is still beauty.

I'm kind of rusty, I guess... but no excuse. How's it look?

.freak;; Nice banner overall, as Fails said, a bit blurry on the left and a bit blank. The text could be smaller, (so could the whole banner) but good light source, great use of effects. Nice job (Y) 9/10

Wow, I haven't been on PC in a while and I haven't made a banner for months so here it goes ><

You want MOAR!?

Took me a while to figure out that it's a picture of Yuna. There's too much effects which make it a little hard on the eyes. Text placement needs work, but I think the effect is pretty nice. Overall, it's too busy for my own personal taste.

Something I did for this week's SoTW.

It's nice, but seems kinda rough and messy. Also colors aren't too great IMO. The effects are great, but just seem out of place/sloppy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



My SOTW entry for this week, and yeah I know it's hella bright. I was going for that, but due to other comments I've gotten I regret it.
But I really don't feel like going back and redo most of it XD
Anyway...CnC?

I agree, way too bright. It's a bit hard to tell the position of the render, or where anything on it is. The top arm looks like it's been dislocated from the rest of the image. Again, this probably the excessive brightness. Aside from the brightness and the render, the sides of the image are good.

here's mine. The text in this one is meant to be the focal, so don't ding me for that. I got the inspiration from the fact that my state is kinda all on fire right now...


This one I made a while ago, and at the time I thought it was really good... now I'm not so sure:

@Utami - The colors are really washed out, so that hot pink squiggle stands out like a sore thumb. A little brightness/contrast and saturation would do this tag wonders (leaving the hot pink alone of course; just make some adjustment layers under the hot pink layer).
@Conman - So bright. ;o; The rest of the effects are pretty nice, but I would like to see a tad more depth above her right arm (the one in the air). It's pretty bland and flat compared to the rest of the tag.
@Swampert - You have flow going in all different directions. Since you're being inspired, you should add more red/orange/yellow instead of purple. The weird gray splatter looks funny and out of place. Maybe if you got rid of the purple and gray splatter, used the burn tool on the background and smudged some orange-ish hues, it would look more like a fiery blaze.

Made another LP for my portfolio. Link took soo long to vector. Especially because I couldn't find any stocks of him in his purple costume, so I had to use the one of him in green and make my own colors. ;o;



Vectored the lotus flowers too. D:

I redid it:

Also, what about the second one? (it's in a link, since it's bigger)

That looks a lot better. It would look even better though if you didn't have fuzzyness above the text and kept it the same type of style as on the right side of the tag. Now can you rate mine? ;o;

Even I'm starting to feel sorry for CME, SwampertTrainer. xD; I'd just suggest that if you don't want to rate CME's stuff, stop posting after her, okay? Otherwise I'm just going to change the rule so that you have to rate something above you if it's there no matter what.

And I'll say it again, though this time it's just to your SwampertTrainer: This. Is. Not. A. Discussion. Thread.

Honestly, you people make me want to turn on post moderation in this thread. :|

And SwampertTrainer, CME did rate your banner. She not only rated it, she replied to your revision. <_< I'd say that counts for something. Just take some time to rate, jesus christ. xD; Next time this becomes a problem, rating will become mandatory if there's a piece in the post above yours. /walks off grumbling about how much trouble this thread is.




CME: Wireframes. |D Reminds me of the prettiful theme you made me so long ago. However, I honestly hate how they look in this LP. D: It just doesn't really... mesh, in my opinion. :| Maybe if you got rid of the wireframe... and the yellow background... I would safely say that I adore it. :D The vector job is amazingly clean; colors are great, and the lotus flowers are amazing. Those purple dotty-things are really cute too.

So pretty much, everything in the far background, I don't like at all, but everything in front, I adore to pieces. <3

Fine, I'll PM in the future...
it just seems like CME and I are the only ones who post here these days, and everyone else has vanished...

... I see so many people other than you and CME on this page. :| Patience. Patience. They're coming. This thread is just a little slower than it used to be is all.

In the meantime, for the third time, this isn't a discussion thread.

Which means you don't need to inform me to your new course of action; and you don't need to reply to my post unless you are rating one of the banners or LP's above.

~
This an old piece, but I thought I'd post it anyway. Even though I gave CME such a terrible rate. Dx *apologies for the crapped out comments, CME*

The quality of the c4d in the background is awful in comparison to Toon Link. The colors are easy on the eyes, but the large dot next to Link is a bit too plain for it's size. Overall, nice composure.

I have absolutely NO idea what the render is. Maybe it's supposed to be like that...
A bit too dark on the edges, but good effects. The text looks nice half-hidden in the murk.

And here's another one by me:

@Loki - That's okay, Loki. xD I appreciate any and all crit. : D I wasn't so sure on the wireframes myself. I was looking more for a bubbly kinda wireframe but I couldn't find any so I used what I had. D: I just need something to put in my portfolio. xD Anyways!

The tag's got a great feel to it, it reminds me of the airships from Final Fantasy. :o The only things that bug me are the render on the right that sticks straight up. Smudge that out and it will look a lot better. The other thing that bothers me is how quick the negative space in the top left corner randomly transfers from the blue/green. A bit more blue green blending into the black would make it look a lot nicer. The whole thing, with the text, kinda reminds me of Halo. :o

@Swampert - Thanks for your ever-so-thoughtful 2 sentenced crit. I didn't count the last one. Anyways... There's absolutely no sense of flow in this at all. Tags with eyes never work out usually. The coloring of the eye is a bit sloppy. The color of the brushes don't match the tag at all. I gave you a link to a color palette site and I didn't post it to fill space. Colors are usually a problem for you and I posted it so it would help you. If you want something with a flowly, swirly feel, there's a bunch of brushes on deviantArt that you can use and you can easily create a "creation" tag without the use of an eye. Text isn't so bad and the outer glow kind of works.
