The first thing i noticed was the eagles great graphic, which looks excellent!
I doesn't like the background colour very much, i believe it would look better with a darker colour, but i can't really rate this, i'm not so experienced with Photoshop (or whatever it's made in).
I also enjoy the cool looking armor on the bird, it has a good design.
The text ”Eagle88” is very disturbing, i would recommend you to edit it, and make it less disturbing, by giving it better graphics.
I like it!

Image 2:
http://i30.tinypic.com/m7xrg6.png
Again i don't know much about the program you made it in, or even what program you made it in.
First, the text is small and not disturbing. That's good. I don't like the background colour, i think it would look better with some blue nuances. The girl is a good job too, it looks like something that have been cutted out from a real picture. Is it, or does it just look like?

Constuctive Criticism

Alt Image1

This has a very nice sandy effect in the backround. But what also seems appealing to me is the way the artist created this drawing. It looks like it was scanned in the computer as a drawing and given color and cleaned up in the computer, but it is actually all digital, and has dark colors, and still looks very nice and it is well done and a creative idea was there in that art. It is simple, but refined, and the colors and backround support that.

Alt image 2

This image has good effects that enhance the whole image. The girl in the middle looks well enough in that pose, but what the effects do, it makes it seem more noticable with those effects. They are a simple concept (flames and smoke) that has been brought up and enhanced by the artwork of the artist. The flames also look like they could be something else, like dissapearing flower petals, but that only adds to the mystery and amazingness to this picture. The lighting also does a lot in this sig, so i really like that.

1. Art Examples:
Ill get back to you on that once I get some loaded and everything...But I was looking mainly to post in the game threads.


2. [Image 1] It appears a blur effect was added that wasnt needed, if you can, undo it. To make it more dramatic, add highlights, or more of them, along the left side of her body. Brightening the colors would add some more appeal, as well as more contrasting colors, such as a dark purple to contrast her skin.
[Image 2] The blur at the bottom differs with the sharper style in the rest of the piece. While the guitar has some bright, vibrant colors, the musician is done entirely in sepia tones, which could be improved by doing whats been done with the guitar

I would suggest adding "critiquable" art that isnt only digitally done. Thats a very narrow spectrum, and not everybody is only going to do digital art, nor is everyone familiar with digital art.

My art is in this link for the game Kiriana i would have linked to the old thread but its down so i liked it to my photobucket gallery that only contains my game art
Alt immage 1 critisism
The first thing that jumps out to me is the lack of detail around the dragon. The dragon itself is greatly drawn with special attention to the shading and the smooth details that show just how much time was put into this especialy seeing that the dragon is drooling a little .The person checking the dragon looks as if he was sloped in at the last second for a joke along with the actual words which are barely readable and his platform isnt even completed.

Alt immage 2 critisism
At first the overwhelming amount of gray throws me aff but upon further inspection i notice that balance comes from the skin tone and pose. The horns are a nice touch but the image itself is a little rough especialy around the curves of the cape and the inside of the cape is a little to dark.

In my opinion, this tag gives people a feeling that it's not finished when you take a first look. For example, the text could be more creative and actually blend with the background. The font chosen and black colour gives me a feeling of unbalanced colours with the tag's background. I don't think choosing different fonts in this situation is helpful to the visual effects as it might be effective in other cases. The colours of the tag overall doesn't appeal very attractive to me (maybe to others) because they don't show the harmony between the colours and the contrast is a bit too much. The shadows and the blur around the eagle is well done as it makes the object (eagle) stands out from the background more. The background is very nice for gradient and blending effects if the creator made it him/herself.
[img]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/nevermore_na/Disorder.jpg[/img]
In my opinion, this tag is very well done. As you can see the texture of the background gives a 3D feeling. The colour of the background and the girl is well chosen as they mix as warm colours, but it doesn't just completely merge the girl in the picture. The girl still stands out by itself. Chinese characters are pretty cool to add and I like to add them myself sometimes as well. The blur, smuge and rendering at the bottom of the girl gives the fading feeling and gives more visual tastes. The flare on the guitar is a very nice touch up. Overall it's a great tag and I think a flare/fire effect on the Chinese character "Disorder(Luan)" would make the visual a bit better.

1) Image 1 (Monster from an old game project. Take a bit of time, it will move eventually =P)
2) Image 2 (I hope I can get away with the link from dA. It would take me ages to upload it somewhere else =/ )

Constructive Criticism (signatures): (As I know very little about that style of art (Sigs/tags), I'll say as little as possible, before I seem like a complete idiot).

Image 1: I personally like the background graphic a lot. As it seems to give the picture some depth. The colors seem fit in my opinion as well. Now the character fits in the scene when it comes to colors, but appears to be out of the style and would probably look much better on a more 2D-like background. She also seems to be kind of... too hazy/blurry.
Last but not least, the text fits the background almost perfectly. The "by Grafh" part is a bit too blurred in my opinion.


Image 2: The title is a perfect match with the picture's mood and setting. The lighting is also very good in my opinion. The colors are a very good choice, maybe tones blue would look better than purple and red, but that's already a matter of personal preference, I suppose. The last thing to point out would be - again - the text. The greyish tone may have not been the best choice. A color between red and blue would fit the overall color solution much better. Although if the text was meant to be there without catching the eye, greyish is always a good tone to use. The font could be a little disturbing on first glance though. On the first look, I read 'Grafh', then noticed the text in the lower right corner and read again. Maybe my attention span is to be blamed there, I don't know.

(Please, no flaming PMs about how little I know about sigs/tags. Thank you).

I overall think this is a pretty good sig except for the swirls. the swirls take away from the render a bit, and the thing on the bottom right is kind of out of place on the pic. I think it would have looked better if you have added another light source oin the pic. I also think you should not have made the render's right arm blury. and the swirl on the bottom left by the txt is out of place, it is not near anything.

Image 2
[image]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/nevermore_na/Kyoko.png[/image]
I also think this is a good overall piece. but I just dont like the blry and the colors you chose. I think you just should have burned the render a bit more to make it more real looking. And the text is kinda of to dark, if you could have made it lighter I think it would have looked alot better.I also think you should added another light source agian to make it look more lees dark. but I do like the tag overall.

Good:
-Nice use of blurring and C4Ds
-Great positioning and overall finish
-The color scheme fits and the spark effect matches

Bad:
-The text does not match...at all
-The placement of the "Graff" is supposed to blend in..but it sticks out like a sore thumb
-too much focus on the general picture, barely looks like anything was truly done

[image]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/nevermore_na/Breath.png[/image]

Good:
-The spark / flare effect is just dazziling w/o taking away the attention from the center piece
-The color scheme fits so well
-The smooth background is subtle and doesn't overpower the image.
-The color transition is smooth.

Neutral / Opinionated:
-The text is 50/50 for me, i love the concept that its supposed to be airy like but it just wasn't executed as good as it could be. Mostly due to placement and lack of subtleness.
-The border seems a bit lacking, for simple tags the border should stand out more but then thats just my opinon


Bad:
-The lighting is awkward, near the top of her forehead its semi bright, in the left corner its really bright, and all over the top and right side its dark..so it looks kinda weird like that.
-Just seems a little lacking in the top-right / right side

2. Image 1
No real focus point. Move the render around so that the render is near the light and blend the render into the background. The color is monotone I really don't know what color would go with it maybe a touch of blue here and there but you would have to try it and see what you like. The text is nice but a little to big. It needs better depth too. Its nice, but you can do better.

Image 2
Meh basic sig throw a c4d and do a few effects and put a render in. The render just doesn't fit with the tag. The render needs more color to blend better. The flow isn't nice. The c4ds just go in a line. I would have liked to seen some distortion to them. It doesn't look like you did to many effects to it. Put more effort into your work and you'll get better results

Image 1
The render and its placement seem alright, however the background didn't contrast it very well. While the render has a cold theme/feel, the background is warm and glowing. The background's texture seems sort of out of place as well. The text placement is alright, however the font seems to pull the viewer away from the focal.

Image 2

In my opinion, this piece is a bit too blurry, however I suppose it could be perceived as sort of "dreamy". The colors are rather drab. The render (or is it a stock? :S) placement is good, however I don't like that bit of texture on the lady's arm in the top right corner.

Hope I didn't sound too negative :X

I have one link because there are two pics there. If one is not good enough then i can put in a new one.

Image 1:

I Really like the signature, the change of the shading from dark green to a lighter shade of it really looks nice. I also like in the background, the "splashes of light greenish/ whitish color, It makes the words stand out. The only thing that i could think of improving would be making the color a little more dull, for me its hard to read the words at first glance because the background to the words are bright.

Image 2:

I really like this picture, it has a good aerial view of the woman. I also like the hair swirling around in her face, to me it makes it look more like a snapshot than a picture. Another area that I like is the cascade of water and how it seems to shimmer based on the lighting. The one thing that I dislike with this picture is the left side, there is nothing over there and a fair amount of space to put something there. Maybe some more water? Or The woman's arm could extend that way. Just some thoughts.

Signature 1:
I like this one, I feel that the colors compliment the render alot. I also think the text matches very well with both the style of the signature and the render. The lighting is however kind of all over the place but I like how it works well with your focal point which is the girl.

Signature 2:
This one is a little more chaotic. I like the use of the c4d and love how you use lighting to enhance the end of the guitar. I fell though that she sticks out a little too much and that a little more blending would do great things to enhance this signature. I like it overall but, I do not understand the eye in the background.

Criticism 1: Good lighting but I think the render's being a little overshadowed by the little sparks.The Orange/Pink theme could be very well seperated to give it a different style.Nothing more to add.

Criticism 2: Very nice background and colour pick,though the render doesn't fit in with the colour flow.IMO There's room for some more lighting and the background goes nicely with the dark red theme.

FE Edit


Criticism for first image:
[image]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/nevermore_na/desire.jpg[/image]
The image all round is pretty good.
I like how you made the background gradient the colour of the renders clothes, the text also fits the theme and so does the font.
Now, I don't like how the render sticks out so much from the background, bushing over it, smudging it into the background or other blending techniques could fix this.
Also, I dislike the "scratches" next to the text, There is also black under one of her arms, I'll assume this is from the renders background, fixing this would make the sig look a lot better.

Criticism for second image:
[image]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/nevermore_na/Disorder.jpg[/image]
I like how you have blended the render in with the background.
I don't like the C4D or the effect around the render, it draws the eye away, and some of it is very bright.
Also, the render in place is very bright, this makes it not very nice to look at.
The text is in Japanese (is it?) so not a lot of people will know what this says.

The colors seem to clash and the render doesnt blend,the text is nice though needs more depth and the 2 lines coming out from the render seem kind of random to me also it has a lack of flow.Nice effect with the left side in the pink area it gives me a feel that the text is falling into an abyss type thing overall ok sig but has potential to be a great sig.

[image]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/nevermore_na/Inspire.png[/image]
A bit monotone and the ripple effect seems completely random the ripple to the right takes away from the overall feel of the sig and text could blend more and again I see an overall lack of flow.The render needs to blend more to and if the background is going to be relatively dark like in this sig then you should tone down the render some it sticks out way to much.

Rage

[image]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/nevermore_na/Pae.jpg[/image]
Criticism 1: Great background,suits the render,though the red eyes of the gecko kind of broke the green colour theme.The render could look better without that many white lines on the background.Instead of using light colours to push the render to the front,there could be darker colours to create a better depth and surround the gecko.Also,the text placement is fine,but I think it could be better without ''The Ravenous Gecko'' part,since the gecko doesn't look ravenous at all :)

[image]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/nevermore_na/Inspire.png[/image]
Criticism 2:Well,well.Honestly,I think there should be some glowy lighting behind the render,And the render doesn't fit with ''Inspire'' if you ask me.I'ld suggest trying a bluish/white background since red didn't go well with that render.The ripple is a little off alone,seeing that this background deserves more special effects,for example maybe wings of little white particules behind the render,or maybe a lighting spot put into the chest of the render.

Constructive Criticism:

[Alt Image 1]

The colors of the Dragon flow great together. The green is dark enough to really draw out the gold ridges/horns. I really love the way the dragon curves around and looks. Your shading skills are very good I suggest that maybe make them more precise rather then like on the wings scribblie do it like you did the tail. It seemed like you took your time on the body and on the wings you had to hurry to get done.

I would suggest also that the artist work on the coloring of the dragon. The outline seems to be rigid and hard. Make it a little more smoothier. The eyes could be a little smaller but not by much. Other than those few errors very good.

[Alt Image 2]

Ill start in the Priest of Order first. He has a wonderful shading and coloring job done. The look of him is the only problem I have. Something with the robe around his thighs doesnt go over to well. It needs a few wrinkles here and there going down it. Also his back arm seems just a tad to far back. Almost painful to him.

ON to Lorine, She has a wonderful armor. The detail is amazing beyond belive. A few things I would like to be fixed are the sword. The sides are not equal, the handle seems to have more points on one side then the other. Same goes for the blade. They dont seem to have equal. Now go up to the ears or Lorine. The Faye ears needs to be covered just a little with hair. The straight line seems awkard. Now that is hard critism because they were very small things but those could make it some much better.

Now to the last thing the Escorts, the forearm on the front one seems...straight as a rod. It could use some more curves. I know she is a female and not as muscular as a male but a little more muscle wouldnt hurt. The only other deal is that maybe add some faces on them.

In the first picture I am immediatley drawn to the lovely detail. the effects are a nice touch and the overal setting is nice and the drawings are quite professional this artist could have a great job in animation. The second pic is a great piece of work and introduces many characters which will appear in the comic. the texture is great and each of the characters show personality. my favorite thing in this picture is the reaction the gingerbread man i having.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/nevermore_na/desire.jpg

Id say low novice, You should work on blendign the render with the background and the focal point by mabey adding a light effect to a strong point to the sig, With colors try to use somthing to make it match the render a lil more, and when using brushes try to do somthing with them or use C4ds to give soem effcts or use somthign to add to it.All i can say about the text is work on blendign it in and match it upa li lbetter but that all comes in pratice,also try to play with postioning and size on it.


Tag2:
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/nevermore_na/Breath.png

This one is better is say high novice,nice lighting on the face makes for a great focal point, the blending again needs work, the c4d adds to the sig by giving it a little dpth the text needs to be blended and id work on font chose,but the c4d should have been moved fro mthe render on the chest it makes it look more chaotic.

Annihilation Nation -> RE: Approval Thread for the Gallery *Read Everything* (3/9/2008 23:31:02)

Signature (latest)
Wallpaper (Best)

I chose to critique the standard images.

Image 1 that I'm supposed to be commenting on: It's simple, and it's small, but it has a nice way about it. First thing I notice is a nice contrasting color look. It provides a bit of dynamics to the piece, and is definitely a good thing. I don't love the way the render is blended, and think that it could have been feathered a little more. It would have been a merely passable sig if not for the text, which pulls the whole thing together and makes it much much better. Honestly, I wish I could do so good with text....

Image 2 is almost the exact opposite of image one. It's big... perhaps a little too big- or more specifically, perhaps a little too tall compared to the 350 pixel width. The text is a bit uninspiring (bad pun intended. Who do I think I am, Artix Entertainment?) but it doesn't detract from the overall appearance of the signature. The render is modified well, and I like how it's blended. I wish that the clouds in the upper left hand corner were produced using a similar technique that the smoke/smudge lines coming from the render, though. It has a nice composition altogether, but I don't find the color scheme appropriate to the picture- it's a little bland for a piece called inspire.

Examples

- Example 1
- Example 2

1st Critique:
The lighting is bad try to add some for a focal point, try working on text ( It's plain and doesn't look to well, especially the "by Grafh" and blending feather can be a simple and effective way or try smudge blending more difficult but can turn out better. Also try put some depth and flow into it to give it more feel.

2nd Critique:
nothing really to say just background needs to be toned down, it looks to chaotic and render just seems to sit there and not really fit in. The yellowish color of it doesn't seem to look well. Other than that it looks nice, and I like the c4d shine on the neck of the guitar.

1. Two forms of art:

Web Layout

2. Constructive criticism:

In this image, I like how you used c4d and such to create a sense of flow. The text is a nice touch, and your name is out of the way.
However, the C4d renders on the left seem out of place, because they would be the source of light. The lighting on your render/stock is coming from above, so it seems out of place.
I think you could improve depth in this, and touch up a few spots where your effects cover your render.

I think the c4d render effect over the guitar is great. This is one of my favorite things you did with the peice. What I think you need to improve is depth. This sig isn't very complicated, and it seems a bit flat. The symbol on the bottom right could stick out more. And the area to the right of the person's face seems a little bit empty. I think if you change this things, the sig will be better overall.

Link to site for game I am working on
Admittedly very basic Photoshop work

Constructive Criticism for Alt Image 1:
I like the shading on the dragon, the only things I noticed that seem off to me is the way the wing is curving and the distinct seperation of the scales running down the back of the dragon.

Constructive Criticism for Alt Image 2:
First off, the image is a bit small, I am not sure if this is something that is changeable or not, but just thought I would throw that out there.
Besides that, it is pretty good, although the eye seems a bit off to me, it is a bit hard to explain though.

Approved. Keep working on your CC.
