The background and text look good, and that flower you put over the text it add to the feel of the image, it's just the render doesn't look very mysterious in that light, maybe if the background was more of a purpley colour, it'd make her more mysterious, other wise this picture is awesome!
.....ad could you tell me how to do those lines around the text :D

I Like the way the end of the wing kinda fades to black, it compliments the text. The way it gets darker towards one side of the image also help the text fit in. Althought the main thing I noticed was like in the north and west part of the image it sorta gets lighter for like a pixel around the sides, this wudda looked good it you made it a little thicker but cos it's so thin you cant tell if you meant to do it or not.

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM FOR IMAGE ONE (Signature)

[image]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/nevermore_na/AA%20Images/mystery.jpg[/image]

The image does appear to be quite beautiful however there are some faults with it. Most prominently is the color selection. The text, background, and render all use slightly different color schemes which are somewhat distracting. There also isn't a focal to the image. It appears as if the text and render are fighting for attention.

On the other hand, the signature does have an elegance to it it. The font choice falls in line with the flow of the image and the flower is a beautiful accent.

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM FOR IMAGE TWO (Signature)

[image]http://www.azupload.com/displayImage.php/setid11273.png[/image]

(For some odd, strange reason, the second image keeps changing....)

Here the color color choices are far better. The use of 3D abstracts are a plus and add that extra spice to the image. The glow to the guitar is also a nice little addition. The text color, size, and position also are better here and don't distract from the focal. Overall the image does a good job at getting the basics and the only thing keeping it from being amazing is the lack of detail and "pop."

I really like the spark-type effect of it, and the hair strands out on the forehead is a nice touch. The face and some other parts aren't too "c'mon you know I'm hot" type. It's a little more calmer. The text isn't all that visible, though because of the flame. Like I notice a flame with little grey streaks in it, so I peer in and it's text.

Image 2

I like the rendering position, yet you can see some C4Ds to the left and they stand out a ton. Along with the crystally look, the font and it's colour is not all that good. And from what I think it's actually pretty good. Just could use that little touching-up!

1. [Image Sample 1] [Image Sample 2]

2. Constructive Criticism:

  • Image 1 ( Mystery)*: Starting with the text, I think the font used suits the theme of the picture very well. The faded lines surrounding the top and bottom of the text help the text blend in with the picture very well. The background of the picture seems a bit too excited and should have had its color balanced a bit more to help the render fit in better. I would have gone with a similar color as the rose that is attached to the text. Maybe smudging the actual render a bit to bring out its colors would have also helped the render blend in more. The render it self is very well placed. Perhaps some darkening ('burn' tool in PS) could have been applied to the face of the character to add a more 'mysterious' feel to the picture. Over all, the picture is a beautiful work of art, but some simple touches could have been added to make it better.
  • Image 2 ( Breath)*: Again, starting with the text, I'd have to say that the design of the font was hard to read at first. If I hadn't read the file name ("Breath"), I wouldn't have been able to figure out what the text was saying without moving forward and closely examining the font. After closer examination of the picture, I realized that the design does suit the theme very well. The C4D's color in the bottom-left corner of the picture seemed a bit too violent and should have been a little lighter (perhaps more purple). The render was well placed and looked good all around except at the top-right corner of the picture where the subject's face seemed too blurry (or the lighting made it seem so). Overall, a beautiful work of art.

The colors work great with the render, a very nice choice as far as the colors.The overall appereance is pretty good although the black around the render takes away from the overall effectiveness of the image.the text on this image is simply outstanding. the font is a wonderful compliment to the overall appereance and the purple flower in the upper corner of the text is the perfect touch to go with the rest of the image.the bckground of this image is perhaps the best compliment to the overall appereance the only BAD thing i see is the black space around the render. overall this is an outstanding image.

image2:
The render and the colors work O.k. with each other, however the colors seemed kind of boring to me.I feel as if this image could use some more detail in the background, it just looks to empty. i noticed that the area behind the render was mostly black perhaps adding some form of a background here would be nice.The text is were i see a real problem. its so small, it took me a while to notice it, as well as the fact that when i found it i saw the text as boring.nothing in this image is really bad but, again, the fact that the background around the render is so blank it just leaves me dissapointed.overall this a nice image, the background is really interesting and theres a lot of flow in this image.

ok my criticism of artwork (snuggles): In my eyes the way the soft focusing colors in the subject matter balance the raw colors of the back ground I find helps the viewer find the true meaning in the peace. Yet I believe that you should have brightened up the small black and white thing because I must infer or rather guess since there’s nothing pointing to the conclusion I made that it’s a bird of some sort. Also I must coming on the raw live colors and figures in the back ground that they seem out of place, with the abstract movement and energy it brings really contradicts the mood of the 2 front figures, happy and sound compared to restless and intense, the background the ladder.

Now my criticism of artwork (sentimento): hmm what I see win I first look at this peace is not the gaiter, not the sky, not even the young girls face, but her arm the right one. The arm stands out because of 1. It’s the closest thing to the viewer and 2. it is the brightest vertical object in the pic which has a predominant of horizontal figures. The arm also points (from elbow to shoulder) away from the subject to the sky another distracting feature because will you want the viewer to find the subject matter and the meaning (which is often in the subject matter) they must first navigate throw the swirls and ever changing values of the clouds. but if you wish for your viewers to take time and search for the meaning as all meanings take time to find than this peace will give a good stand. Now id like to address the color scheme, its not to flashy with its colors and the rapid changing hues is not evident, between the back ground and foreground there’s no clashing so in this matter I’m pleased.

Image 1, Branch:
This image is good. the main image of the face stand out quite well, although there is more thing that stand out in this image that should not stand out so much. for instance the white specs which start on the left side and end about the middle. these colours should be toned down a little and or changed to a more suited colour. The text i find is too small. i have to strain my eyes to read it. if people struggle to read it they wont so why have it there at all?
othere then them the background is good as well as the contrast between the face and the background colour

Image 2, Inspire:
I really quite like this image. the top left hand side blends well with the colour of her hair. Some of the smudge brushing coming off her shirt is a bit to much altough effective. take out a bit of this and this image will look better. i think with the text that it should be a little more creative. when i read a word like inspire i expect it to be inspiring so a little more effort into the word to spice them up a little combined with what i said earlier about the smudging and this image would be really good

2) Criticism:

CritAlt1
It is a very well drawn picture, but the main criticism is that light isn't travelling from one place as it should be. What I mean is that The shading has a dark tone suddenlygoing more into a lighter patch. Also the man next to the dragon is so badly drawn that it looks like that bit was drawn by a little brother annoying you. Overall it is a great piece of art with great tone/texture.

CritAlt2
It is a very awfull edited picture that you know that has been done on MS Paint (or something close to that). First off the monster looks soo fake because of the blanking out of the face. The guest fighters are very pixelated, so is the opponment and the actual player.

I really like the eagle, I like that you made his wings blue, but I don't think they fit with the background and the writing. In fact, I think there is to much writing, you could move the writing a bit away, so it is easier to read, and it doesn't make the sig look so compact. I would also recommend that you would change the color of the writing, since there are 3 different writings, phrases, and it would look better if they were in pink/dark pink nuance, so they go together with the background.

[image]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/nevermore_na/AA%20Images/Breath.png[/image]

This is a really amazing sig. The girls expresion makes you wonder what she's thinking about. The sparks and flames go very well together with the girl in the picture, but her skin is a bit to light. I would recommend to darken her skin a bit, or even mix it with an abstract orange, red or violet, so it goes better with the sparks. The text is simple, easy to read, and the color goes perfect with her dark violet haircolor. I think the text is there like a hint, to represent and action that the girl is doing, or needs to do. Nice Job!

Art 1
Good, but bad. It looks like you used Microsoft Paint to draw this, which is good. But, I know all too well that MS Paint is really hard to use to draw good pictures with. Some parts aren't completely filled in, like the green in the wings and the ears. Some parts, like the back crests, have some colors that goes out of the area where that color is supposed to be in. And speaking about the colors, I see a little too much dark, cool colors and not much light, warm colors. It looks good the way it is, but if you can find colors that you can replace other colors with, then it could be better. A few of more things before I wrap it up. There are some very small, yet noticable, white spots that looks like you could fill in. There are also some spots, like that line sticking out from the back wing, that you could take out. One thing before I finish it up here, some parts, like its head on its knee, is really hard to see. Like I said before, put in a few more warm colors like at that space to make it better. Overall, nice drawing, some bad spots, needs some more variety of colors.

Art 2
Oooo, pixel editing. Looks like you edited the skill names, the characters, but you put them in a Crystal Cave background. I mean, Crystal Cave is good and all, but it doesn't seem to be a good place to put that battle in. I'd say, more of a darker area, like Doomwood, would be better. The armors are good, but variate. You could've made the guests have different classes than each other and one of the guest didn't have to have the same armor color as the main character. Also, the guests' eyes are a little too small for comfort. For the main character, her sword could be a little lighter because its really hard to see it (with my eyes) in a brown background. It looks like you used the rogue skills for the main character. I wouldn't mind if your character was a rogue but some of the skills you kept the same. If you changed it to warrior skills however, I wouldn't mind. For your little Priest of Order, you put him in a mage battle stance, which makes sence. But, for me, it looks like your Priest of Order is a Monk of Order. I say that because he isn't armed with a staff at least and you gave him baggy pants (those always reminds me of monks for some reason). Heres some ways to make him look more of a Priest of Order: give him a staff, color him with some neutral colors (just because he's suppose to be a Priest of Order), remove some of the armor, and if you can, give him a radiant feeling. Overall, good characters, brighten some things, replace the background with a darker background, variate, and make your Priest a better looking priest.

Constructive Criticism


[image]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/nevermore_na/AA%20Images/Inspire.png[/image]

The first thing I notived about this was the compo and flow of the tag, the composition leaning towards the right of the tag made it perfect for the flow and smudging to go towards the left part of the tag which adds a nice touch and makes you look at the whole tag. The colour attraction to the focal was also very nicely done for one main reason. Since the background is a more washed out brown colour the vibrant white focal stood out alot better.

There are also many improvements that could be made on the piece. Firstly one of the things I saw needed more work was the lighting, it was to obvious in a sense that it looked plainly brushed which is a bad picture in my eye. To me the lighting should look more natural and reflect on many parts of a tag. But the placement of the lighting was nicely done in my opinion.

My Final suggestion for the tag was the text.. I did not feel the text was placed accordingly and should have been near the smudged white area so it better suits the flow. Still great text imo.

Great tag overall I liked many aspects of that piece.




[image]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/nevermore_na/AA%20Images/Kyoko.png[/image]

The first time I glanced at this I noticed some remarkable unique effects around the focal that attract good attention towards the focal which was nicely done. The colouring and atmopshere of the tag was my second favourite thing for 2 main reasons. The way you separated the 2 very different shades/colour ( green,black) really changed the tag and directed my eyes to green area which is an excellent magnet for focal. The second reason was the colouring atmipshere the focal's colour reall fit into the atmopshere nicely overall.

There are many things I would also change that are only suggestions out of my opinion. First off I was not really the tranisition between the two colours, though they added attention to the focal I was thinking that making a smooth transition would be a better thing to do overall. Another suggestion was the placement of the text I was thinking it should be closer to the focal but the colouring and actual text was nice.

Nice Tag good job with colouring, depth and effects

my artwork example two (yes this is me lol)

Constructive critsism for image one: Artwork one

This images presentation is very well done. the vibrant colors all contrast well with the main image without drawing attention away from it. the image of importance (Fae from cowboy bebop) could be a little bit bigger tough and maybe just a little more centered in my opinion. Same goes for the text, every thing flows together well but its just to small. this just a personal opinion, i find bigger text and what not to appeal a little more to me
Over all besides some small sizing issues the layout of this image is very well done, colors contrast well and complement the main image creating a very well done piece of work.


Constructive criticism for image Two: Artwork two


This image is quite stunning matter of fact. The positioning of the woman and her pose really speak out to me in this image. the effects surrounding the woman contrast well with her as she is not covered up and what not so she remain the main focus. The text is the only thing that i didn't really think went with the picture in my opinion. Its very small and some what hard to read, it seems to just blend into the background a little to much. My advice would be to select a lighter color, maybe an outer glow and bigger text and it should be fine.
Over all this sig is a real eye-candy the image really has a voice to it due to the posing, positioning, colors and effects in the image. besides the text issue this is a great work of art.

The sig is pretty good overall but the black splodgy bits don't appear to be doing anything other than obstructing my view of the background, no attention seems to have been payed to the render, it is slightly blurry and just seems to have been pasted onto the sig, maybe you could try to blend it with the background. The pink and gold go wonderfully together and the lighting makes a very nice addition however a suggestion I would make would be to put a layer over the top of the render and add some light shining onto the render which would finish this off well. The text could be better, I would suggest the colours of the text to be Pink and gold to go with the rest of the sig but it's not the biggest problem.

[image]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y267/nevermore_na/AA%20Images/Morning-Dancer.png[/image]

Nice tag, the doesn't really need much work at all but on the left there is a bit of the background overlapping the womans arm which looks like it was accidental, and that doesnt look too good. The text seems slightly bland and some effects could be added around that area, there doesnt really appear to be much lighting on this tag and it would be an excellent way to draw someones eye to the render,
the render was obviously a good choice and from a good renderer but it seems to have been wasted a bit, maybe a few more effects as this tag seems to be slightly empty, therefore taking away from the quality.

A couple of my things

1) Perfect Symmetry
2) Random

*Note: I am using Doodman's images with his permission for criticism for this part*
Criticism 1: Image One
This is a 3D Abstract tag that DoodMan made. The colors are very nice, you don't see those very often. The render itself is quite elaborate with good lighting, giving it great depth. There's also a lot of depth in the background. Furthermore the flow of the image at the viewer is refreshing, it catches ones eye and is a good way to draw attention to the great depth of the image.

Criticism 2: Image Two
Kenny's banner is a great piece of work. The concept is awesome and the effects are fantastic. There's also a great depth in this as well. The coloring is simple, and not overwhelming to the rest of the image so it enhances the effects instead of detracting from them by being an effect on its own. The various minor sections of the banner are done well and work in coherency to form one grand image, each section is flowing into another, thus the viewer is able to take in the entire image instead of just focusing on one or two areas.

1. image 1 (hand drawn)
trippy eye (made on isketch)

2. alt img 1: funny, but the doodle draws away from the real detail of the picture. every picture has a focal point in which a person can take the entire image in, and if there are two very different styles of drawings in a picture, it can upset the balance of the picture. otherwise, the dragon is well done. the shading is appropriate, though i believe the upper horn could use a bit more tinting and shading, it's a bit neutral. some scales would be a nice addition as well. very nice!

alt img 2: seems well thought out. from this picture alone you can already tell what this character is like, which is a great thing to have in a pic. the obvious slim figure and youthful look show that it is a young man, along with the half knightly armor it is well portayed that he aspires to be a warrior. the disarming smile is also a nice touch. though i find it confusing that he would wear all leather armor and still have armored boots. not to mention his obvious time frame he is to be based on in near mideval ages, yet he is pale as if he has been indoors most of his life. this is understandable in royalty, but i doubt that is the case with him, so he should be a bit more tan. otherwise, well done.

CC for Alt Image 1:
The hand drawn dragon is nicely made. The shading is excellent and as well as it's outline. The lines however are to light. If it was a little bit darker and there wouldn't be any of the leftover shades at the bottom then this picture would be terrific. But overall this hand drawn dragon is amazing.

CC for Alt Image 2:
This sprite is good. The colors on it is nice as well as the shadeing. But it appears that the pixels on the border of the picture can be noticed really easily. Try putting some lighter color on it so then it won't stand out so much. Also the skin of the sprite is to light. Some places are pale. Try making it a little bit darker as well. Overall though this picture is ok.

The transition from the black side of the artpiece, to the gloomy green is perfect for setting a gloomy mood. The sad face of the woman enhances this gloominess tenfold. The shattered portion in the middle of the artwork, going vertically, adds a, broken feeling. An aura of mystery is loomed over the artwork with that, as if the gloominess of the green was breaking through to the blackness. The blur is a bit too much. But there is a positive with that blur. It adds an aura of a dream-like state. A ghostly vision, which helps with the gloominess.

Well, I do not find this one as good as image one, but it is still very good. The first thing that catches my mind is the white located on the woman's vest (or whatever she's wearing ;P), the top-left, and bottom-right corners, and as well as the white swirl connecting the cloudy white in the top-left to the woman. It seems that the brown in the background doesn't seem to fit the overall image. The title, "Inspire," and the image don't match, to me, because the expression of the woman seems that she's lost in the image. The swirls, and stretched white add a "ghost-like" feeling, but it doesn't work together with the brown of the background. Overall, this is not as strong a piece of art as image one.

This picture was done very well and I can't find to many flaws in it. One thing that I did pick up on, in my opinion, is that the top left corner "disappears." What I mean by this is on a white background like it is in the link, it looks like a corner of the full picture is missing. This obviously doesn't matter if it is on a different colored background but on white it looks like a piece is missing from a puzzle. I would fix that by just adding a simple 1 pixel black border around the picture which would give the picture an air of "fullness" and make it look more complete.

One more detail that you might want to fix is the background. I am saying this because the background looks really "realistic," if you will, and doesn't quite fit the anime render. You could just make the background a little lighter and not use such dark rich colors to make the background more "anime" if you want to bled the background with the render a little better.

Again these are just little things that popped out at me when I saw the picture, but otherwise the picture looks great!

This picture looks awesome and I only see one thing that could be fixed. The instrument looks a little dull and doesn't quite agree with the light source in the picture. I seems as though the instrument is glowing from no particular angle, but at the same time is darker than it seems it should be. This is mainly a contrast problem with the light and all that needs to be fixed is to have a little bit of the light source shining off the instrument, to complete the effect of light on the instrument.

Other than that the picture turned out perfect and I have nothing else to add.

Very nice blend of colours. The pink and orange/yellow being used on both the clothes and background adds a very nice effect. Both colours match well, and are easy on the eyes. The woman is obviously trying to look seductive, and the text matches it very well, in the sense that the word itself is "Desire" and it has hearts on it. One of the only things that can be improved on in my opinion are edges of the character. I think they are too clear cut, and there is a visible difference between the fore-ground and back-ground.

The way the person is sitting in the chair has an air of serenity about it, and it seems very relaxed. Everything (the guitar, person's clothes, person's hair, the chair, the background, etc.) are different shades of brown, and the use of only one colour adds a sense of simplicity, and contributes to the serenity. The way the background goes from the person to the edge, bright to dark, makes it look like the person is escaping the world around them, in their own little bubble. I think the size of the writing is very suitable to the image. It is small, and when reading it in my head, it comes out quiet, almost a whisper, which once again adds to the sense of serenity. I think it would have been nice to see some depth in the picture, and have the veiw slightly to the side or above.

1. Two examples of my work, done in guache and watercolour.

2. Constructive Criticism

  • [Image 1]
    The idea of an eagle with a helmet is an interesting one, especially combined with the text "Death from Above". It makes the imagery more aggressive and warrior-like. However, I wonder if it might not have worked even better if the eagle was either to the left side of the pic, making it look as though it is actually attacking something (rather than flying out of the frame) or if remaining in the right hand side, it could have been reversed? The background, though blurry and mostly non-figurative seems to be quite close to the bird, which gives it an energetic if somewhat claustrophobic feel. This combined with the text and the wording work well for a memorable sig, in my opinion. I would probably have chosen to make the signature (by Grafh) smaller and possibly to the other side of the bird but that is a minor detail, which on the whole is no biggie.

  • [Image 2]
    This picture made me feel somewhat uncomfortable. If your intention was to give your onlookers the impression of someone trying to draw breath, of heat and feeling somewhat submerged, then it is indeed very successful. The way the girl's forehead is slightly cut off and how she is angled back and upwards with her mouth open and the red and crimson blowtorch-like flames below her, make her look as if she was rising out of a furnace, gasping for air. The flame shooting towards her exposed, vulnerable and seemingly corded and strained throat certainly evokes the idea of breathlessness or the need to breathe.

I like how the green all blends together. Also, where you use some lighting effect to make the background look like leaves is very cool.
You used lighting to accentuate the gecko's eye. Very nice. Your text is also cool. It's got a little off green glow, and it's not just on 1 line, and not in bullet form which is equally stupid (i my opinion). The render placement is good where it is on the right side. This picture is nice and cheery w/ the color. Overall, I love the picture. 5/5
[CC Image 2]

You kept to earth colors. The lighting is nice, but you have 2 sources, one looks like the sun, the other is a lamp (?). It's hgot like this west theme with the background. I like how it goes from like dust, progressively darkens, then turns into a nice little black outcropping, leavin your text a nice place to nestle in. Now for the render...... It sits like, exactly in the middle... however this is good w/ the feel. Your light sources work very well. But, for some reason, even though it's nice, i don't like it. 4/5

Image 1:
I feel that this sig had good direction, but took a detour. The render placement is good, as well as the concept. It suffers when it comes to lighting. Overall it is far too bright. The corner in which the text resides in is extremely distracting and draws focus away from the rest of the sig. The text however goes along well with the feeling it was trying to convey. The background could have been more interesting. The orange portion of the sig; while relevant to the clothing, I feel that the pinkish red of the headband would have been more suitable and would have complemented the purple on the left.

Image 2:
I'll start with the background first. The purple looks great. The render on the bottom left isn't as great. The red feels out of place and takes away from the rest of the sig that was so well composed. The lighting looks good and adds some realistic depth to the sig. Another aspect that could use some improvement is the text. It feels like it was just thrown in and did not really need to be there. Overall it is a well put together sig but a few minor things lowered the appeal of it.
