Well. It's time for my second gallery. I've been roaming around the www searching as far as my internet usage would allow me. And alas. I return [kinda] better than before [at least I think so]. Oh and with a new name too =].

→→theR U L E S
1. Mmm. No requests. Things were just. Blegh, not worth it last time.
2. Don't even ask me via pm/vm for a request. There are only a select few who won't be ignored.
3. If you have gotten this far ['grats] and still think it's funny to request, I'll uhh De-Rep you or something -Sticks out tongue-.
4. Okay rule 2 [lol] No spamming, nor flaming. Constructive critisism is allowed, but I think I'll be able to judge what has gone too far.
5. Obey all PC rules I guess xD
6. Rep is appreciated if you like my stuff.

>>theS H O W C A S E

+01. Yay. I like this. I don't know why. I found some stuff and put it together voila xD

+02. Mmm. It's Spiderman. =P

+03. Oh Pete, you make such great banners, if only you weren't a JPEG =[

+04. Lol. Robo Dinosaur Guitar thing ftw. This good. It was my second choice for a theme after +01.

+05. Ooh. Didn't turn out as good as I thought it might have. Still, I like it.

+06. Yeah I'm featuring this again, as it got a pretty good reception in my old gallery. Don't know how it will fair now though =/

+07. Again, I'm featuring this one. I like it. It's the best product that came out of that style imo.

+08. Yay for Death Cab for Cutie. Does this count as vector? Did I do goods?

+09. Mmm. Fresh out of the oven. It weird. But... yeah it's just weird.

+10. The best Render around imo. It makes the bestest looking banners when used well.

+11. Ahh. Le Blu. Mmm I really did this render up a lot. It will probably be used again.

Mmm. That's all folks. I'll update regularly.

Oh and.
Ein 4 Prez.

 

[THIRTY-SIX]

What's up with that number dude? Px

2, 3 and 4 I'm liking.

•waits to see this end up a shop like most other galleries•

 

[moments.]

My favourite is either the blue one near the bottom or your current theme. Probably your current one though!

Also, just a minor nitpick,

If you think my stuff is worthy of the gfx artist emblem, I'd appreciate it if I could take it into my heart profile.

Missing the 'f' in 'if'.
Cool stuff, liking the new direction with your name and thus graphics.

 

[Yrie]

+01. Yay. I like this. I don't know why. I found some stuff and put it together voila xD

+02. Mmm. It's Spiderman. =P

+03. Oh Pete, you make such great banners, if only you weren't a JPEG =[

+04. Lol. Robo Dinosaur Guitar thing ftw. This good. It was my second choice for a theme after +01.

Okay, this is going to be like a 1/3 rate since I probably won't be able to rate every single tag in one sitting. Not patient like that. So yeah. I'll comment on the rest at some point though.

1. I'm not really agreeing with the text on this one. Not like its hideous, but the brightish blue color and the white outline bothers me a little. It might work better if it were a grayish/silvery color and more cursive, because I feel like this piece radiates a rather serene feel. Nevertheless, I still like it, its colorful =D

2. I'm not a fan of Spiderman, so I'll probably have trouble commenting, but I think the yellow looks a bit out of place (not terribly so, as you've got other warm colors in there). I don't know why, but it keeps on catching my attention when I look at it. Balancing it out with some yellow on the right might help, so that because compared to the left side where all the colors and text are, the right side looks rather plain in comparison. I do like the pink in there though. And..that's all I have to say on this one, really nice piece of work, Dukey.

3. Pete Wentz ftw xD
Really nice job around Pete himself(he looks a bit grainy, it's probably just the JPEG though), and though the effects sort of fading into the gray is interesting, the gray area is rather plain, though its simplicity is really very nice. Maybe you could try distrubiting the effects to a larger area, though keeping the most interesting things going on around the focal point. I do like the simplicity though, so it might be a good idea not to distrubute the effects too much. Am I contradicting what I said earlier? I really think so. Well, its your call, so yeah. Nice work there as well.

4. Wow, its bright and its a robot. ^-^ Its cool though, I like the abstract look of it. I'm really stuck on how to comment though, because I can't really say much about it except for that its...pink. I can't really read the first 2 though, I think you probably intended for the text to read 22, though at first glance I only really saw the second 2, though its true that the text doesn't therefore doesn't distract from the focal in my opinion. Anyways, I really like this one, its bright and everything. Gawd with how miserable and depressing the sky always looks at the moment I've developed a love for bright things.

 

[Circuit]

Hey 22 (dukey) I liked no. 4 the best. I thought it was the brightest and best looking. I wish we could request though. I really would like you to make me a banner, judging how good your other work is. I would never (even if taught) be able to do something that good. Anyway, as always, you have done very impressive work. Great gallery.

 

[Dukey]

@ It Was Funny When I Typed It.
Yeah. Those one's are some of my best.
The number is uuh. My favourite? Does that work?

@ noxious.
Ahh. Glad somebody liked the blue one.
Lol thanks I'll fix that up.

@ Twenty Six.
Mmm. The text needs some work.
Yeah. I was going for a warmer sig, then Spiderman popped up. So I had to do a big U-turn.
Mmm. Stupid Jpeg. And it's meant to look empty.
Yeah. The Robot is probably my best.

@ Saphira's Rider
Mmm. I might later. But I doubt it, regardless of what munna says.

 

[Barney.]

In comes the Blaze <<>>.

As always lovin the graphix.

Favourites.

1. The style used is great, plus the colours go really nicely...And he has my hat

4. Love the colours..and that stock owns >.>

Bleh

3. Stock is too blurry..And I think it's a bit too plain.


Otherwise love em.

 

[Donnie]

all of these are just so amazing.
i dont feel like criting right now so ill do it later.
as i told you on MSN DeathCab is by far the best.
even if hes not from DCFC xDD

 

[Dukey]

@ Blazeavile.
Mmm. Pete didn't turn out as well as he was supposed to on that one.

@Umbreh
Mmm. No biased opinions on that one are there?
Lol, I'd like to find out what he is from =]

 

[Mukkamoto]

+02. Mmm. It's Spiderman. =P

My fav, definately had some improvement and i like all of them but spidey was my fav.
would like to see more coming.

 

[Yrie]

+05. Ooh. Didn't turn out as good as I thought it might have. Still, I like it.

+06. Yeah I'm featuring this again, as it got a pretty good reception in my old gallery. Don't know how it will fair now though =/

+07. Again, I'm featuring this one. I like it. It's the best product that came out of that style imo.

+08. Yay for Death Cab for Cutie. Does this count as vector? Did I do goods?

By the way, I love the layout of the new gallery, very organized and such.

5. OMG I LOVE THE RENDER. Sorry, I love any renders like that. Which I can't find. Which means I'm going to ask you where you found that. Anyways, the green glowy things look a bit odd, they could be more abstract looking rather than two balls of green light, though the color really does compliment the rest of the banner really well.

6. Wow, seriously, that's pretty amazing. There's this one spot (hard to describe where exactly, or what it is, for that matter) in the upper right half of it, a small red and yellow streaky thing, which kinda bothers me a bit because it looks somewhat oversharpened, though intentionally or not I'm not sure, but otherwise its a really awesome. If your other banners turn out half as good people will still be amazed. (lol, copied and pasted from the old shop, but I can't think of much else to say, except that's a sweet render.)

7. The first thing I notice is how much it looks like an oil painting done with quick dabs of paint. Which doesn't necessarily look bad, but the render looks like it should have a smooth, clean background. The text isn't bad though, the vertical adds some interest and such. And I can't think of anything more to say. I haven't seen this style before, but its really pretty cool imo.

8. No comment. Its an interesting tag and definitely eye catching, I just don't know what to say on it. Nothing against the tag itself, I like the multicolored splatters and the purple and light green lines, I'm just in a slumpish mood right now. I don't know whether it counts as a vector tag or not because I don't know what a vector tag is (not quite there yet), but good job on it nevertheless Dukey.

 

[Dukey]

Thanks Slyther & Mukko.
Here's an update.

+12 A collab between Mukkomato and I for Vivaa's Homeroom.

not nearly as good as your others but i know why, you told me on msn :/
judging the part that you DID do its great. er. i still dont feel like critting but you made me this time. :D


oh and btw

Oh and.
Ein 4 Prez.

is epic win kthxbai

 

[the bitter end.]

Hm... yours are not among my favorite, but I still really like them. (sorry if this is offensive). I do however, really like Mukko and your collaboration. The thing I dislike about the others is your abuse of clipping masks =P

 

[Dukey]

@ Umbreon
Lol I'm sorry I forced you to say that =/

@ RyuKun
Yeah, my stuff aint the best, and I haven't been using clipping masks for all that long, so I'll improve there.

 

[Renyui!]

You should give credit to the guy who taught you clipping masks.
I don't think you're overusing them at all. You're using a perfectly good amount!

Good god Dukey, your style has definately improved over the last ... week..? [/shot!]
Anywho, I'm still liking number 4, and nice use of splatters in 8. Although, when you look too closely, it looks very busy. I wouldn't kno how to fix that, maybe smudge(even though that my answer to most things lol)?

K e e p i t u p. Cause you spaced out letters in your name.

 

[Gunners]

Nice vector sig! I'm really bad at vector lol. Spidy is my fave :D

 

[Yrie]

+09. Mmm. Fresh out of the oven. It weird. But... yeah it's just weird.

+10. The best Render around imo. It makes the bestest looking banners when used well.

+11. Ahh. Le Blu. Mmm I really did this render up a lot. It will probably be used again.

Mmm. That's all folks. I'll update regularly.

Ein 4 Prez.

Bwhahahaha (wait......what?)

9. ....Okay then....Its really interesting with how the background pushes the attention towards the focal, and the monotone is interesting, being broken by those weird glowy eyes. Yeesh that comment sucked. Let's just say its a really good tag, and I expect that you must have been going for rather monotone tag, which you did well.

10. Yeah, this must be a pretty workable render because I've seen you use it at least 3 or 4 times. Anyway, I like the text and such, but aside from that red bar in the text, I think there should be some more red in the banner, and less blue. God I'm in more of a slump than I was yesterday...or maybe its because its 6:30 in the morning on a Saturday. That's a cool render though. =)

11. Bleu, azul, blau, blauw, blått, 蓝色 (yay for online translators) And yeah, they all mean "blue" in a different language, cause this tag is...blue. With a dash of verde and lilor (green and purple). And some bianco (white) as well I guess. You seem to love this style, but its a really...eye catching tag, though I think that whatever;s going on on the left side is drawing attention away from the focal, and that apparently reddish brown dark spot in the bottom right corner looks a tad bit odd, but it really doesn't bother me that much. Overall good job on this tag, its lively, and its blue besides. And blue's a cool color. And I'm going to end this comment now. Okay I lied, good job on these tags Dukey. Now I'll end this comment.

 

[Witch]

1, 2, 4, 8, 9, 10, & 11 are my faves. Death Cab rawks XD & your Sho banner is awsome. I love the bars around the name. Keep up the great work dear! ^^

 

[Mr. Epic]

Have I seen you around before, these graphics are great!
+2 +4 and +9 are great!
+4 is amazing it has everything, simple background with complex and sharp focal area, with great use of color, keeping it all pink, and excellent flow in the picture.
+10 has a good text design and +11 is nice.
I am not really feeling the others as much.
