Boundless: Laharl of Disgaea || Disgaea is awesome which is why I made this.

Welcome to Oblivion: Amy Lee of Evanescence || My first vertical tag.

Galaxy Switch: Mario & a Luma from Super Mario Galaxy || A request.

Fallen: Random Guy IDK || It was a gift for someone.

these are kewl Conman!
i especialy like the mario one and the fallen one.
keep up the good work!

 

[Mr. Epic]

OMG man I knew you would make an awsome gallery so:
My fave is Street Shaman its awsome how you blended the real stock background with a fictional character making look like it belongs there.
Everything about Boundless is nice exept the text, the text is bold and hard so it doesn't really blend but its positioning is cool.
Stunning is real stunning lol, I like the red effects and matching text with the large white blocks on the sides.
Welcome to Oblivion is another picture that has well blended elments and good effects.
Afro Kush in colour is better in my opinon but the BW looks good.
I hate that stupid mario render Galaxy switch the background doesn't really blend with it so overall i dont like it!
Fallen is nice but I really dont like how the black wing goes over the text it puts me off the whole tag.

Overall nice choices, Street Shaman is really what I love the most in this gallery :)

 

[Conman]

Thx for the comments Nazo and Kyen.

@Kyen: Well Galaxy Switch was a request, and I've been known to make my requests not look as good as my actual tags. Requests are evil! As for Boundless, guess I'll switch the one I have up with the none text version XD

I suggest removing the text from stunning as well.
Street Shaman and Galaxy seem too grainy. :<
Nice stuff though.

 

[Conman]

Well Stunning wasn't made with a no text version like some of my tags, so...yea...I could fix grainy with GREYC, but I don't intend to go back and fix these. I rather use all comments to improve future tags.

Yea that's how I work as well. xD

 

[Comic Tragedy]

Great stuff. Try finding away to get away from the grainy look in the future.... I really like #1, and #3.

Keep it up.

Fallen: Random Guy IDK || It was a gift for someone.

Street Shaman: Yoh of Shaman King || It was a gift for someone.

​

Those 2 are just amazing. I like the effects on them showing the characters. Sort of like an aura. It looks great. Keep up the good work:)

 

[Mikau1]

i like the mario and the street shamen. they both look hectic

 

[Conman]

Update with four of my newest tags and some avatars.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arrancar Abyss: Grimmjow of Bleach || It was a gift for someone w/ avatar.

Blood Bath: Reptile of Mortal Kombat || It was a request.

Business: Soul of Soul Eater || It was about time I make a new main tag. When I saw this render, I knew it was perfect for it.

52 Pick Up: Gambit of X-Men || It was a gift for someone. I asked who wanted one, and told them to name a character.

Silver's Rings: Silver of Sonic the Hedghog || It was a request.

wow,i'll be sure to request from you in the future(if its ok with you of course),i just love all ur work

 

[Trainer Kat]

GIMP. Really? This is by far the best GIMP work I've ever seen. o.o It looks incredible. It's even better than a lot of the Photoshop work I've seen. That said, Boundless is my favorite. I adore Laharl far too much, haha. I really like the Gambit avatar too. :3

 

[Conman]

IDK why so many people underestimate GIMP :O I guess because so many people use PS ppl assume it's way better. Little do most know, GIMP can do almost everything PS can, sometimes more. GIMP is way better IMO for personal use, PS should be purchased legally for business stuff.

Your stuff is pretty great, but they all basically show the same style. You should broaden your horizons a little, explore other styles like renderless, vector, minimalistic, scenic (which you sorta have in some actually), etc.

But yeah, good stuff!

 

[Conman]

Well these aren't all my tags. Refer to "Tag History" in my signature to see all my past styles and vector tags. As for render less/abstract...meh I planned to at one point but never got around to it.

Love the effects on blood bath. I should really learn how to do that bubble effect. xD
Pick up is sweet too… though the text kinda ruins it.

 

[Postman]

Your current signature, Business, is my favorite.

 

[YOOM-TAH]

What happened to that one you had currented before, with the dark greenish background of a city or something and the guy in the maroon? That one was awesome, your best I think.

 

[Gummy]

I agree with YOOM-TAH, your Wanted tag was incredible. Out of the ones you've posted, I like Business and Boundless the most.
