Application form...here goes :) ....

1.
Image 1 - Album Cover (Drawing)
Image 2 - Logo Design (Photoshop)

2. ALT IMAGE 1
The dragon that is displayed (I hope that's a dragon, if not I'm sorry), shows a unique fierceness to its face. I was surprised at first look, because of its edge. The skills used to create this picture are very well done and they help contribute to the detail The ridges and the shading are all wonderful components to this image. As much as I enjoyed this picture, there were a few quirks I had about it. My main problem was that it was on notebook paper, however I understand this, because it seems my artwork is at best on notebook paper. Another thing about it that I don't like was that it was not colorful. It would be neat to see it in vibrant colors - maybe red, or blue!?

ALT IMAGE 2
This second image - the screen shot of dragon fable was very interesting because it showed the game with added characters. I like this piece mainly because of its color. It had many vibrant colors such as red, and green. The main thing about this that I do not like is that the added characters are a bit pixilated, which I don't like because the rest of the image is smooth. It could have been better if the characters looked like they matched its background.

Constructive Criticism
Alt Image 1: The image is very good and very detailed but some of the body parts are not to scale with other parts. One part is the head of the dragon, The head of the dragon appears to be much larger than the actual body. Another part that appears to be disfigured is the tail, the tail does not get smaller as the tail gets longer and it looks as though as it is going below the dragon.

Alt Image 2: This image is also very good but the shoulder is uneven and seems to be facing more to the left of the veiwer while the body appears to be facing towards the viewer. Also the color appears to make the drawing to be worse then it actually is.

Image 1: Eagle88

I like the effect you've given by making the wings fade into the background, the general poster of the eagle also adds realism and power to the image to this tag how it should be. Also how you've chosen to put the dark image on to the light background really makes it stand out which i think is really important but you could of maybe added a better background, and you could of maybe changed the colour of the font and positioned it better. I like it alot though it's a very good tag.

Image 2: Disorder

I love the chaotic effect you've given it by making a fiery illuminous effect and made it appear to be dropping on to her i like how you've positioned her, also the background you've given extends the destructive effect to its fullest posibilities and giving it a kind of gothic look. The colours all go very well together and i love what you've done to the guitar giving it a real breathtaking effect. Generally a very good tag and one of the best.

Example Art 1 http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q262/horselover456/berpicA.jpg


CC for Image 1: I think that the yellow background is to bright behind the dark blue dragon and there is to much of a color contrast there. When you look at the image its hard to focus on the dragon because the background pulls you in with its brighter color. I think that if you made the dragon a lighter blue or made the background a darker color or both that would fix the problem.
The picture looks a bit empty, The dragon being the only thing on it don't look quite right, maybe if there were a color blur in the background of a couple of trees or something that would make it look more full and detailed.
The texture in the background is good but it kinda hard to see.
I really liked the scales on the face and neck it makes the dragon look more realistic plus the wings are excellent!
Over all I like the Dragon and think you really good.

CC for Image 2: The Orange color for her hair looks nice with the green shirt The colors are really well done.
The image in general looks very empty, There is no background or anything its just white.
The image is just very plain there is no text or color behind it and I think it would look better if the image had a signature or some a color background behind it.
The detail is great, I love the cats ears thats the first thing that caught my attention. The facial markings really go great will the ears and the whole character.
Overall I love the image, I think that if you put a background of some kind behind her or a signature it would give it a less empty feeling and bring it to life a bit more.

1- signature and avvys and banners,(thats regular for me) and editing up pictures. also renders.- also any custom "swirl effects" ive been working on making them pixel by pixel. also handrawn that has been edited with photoshop colors. example of my work-

http://img511.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sig1copycw8.jpg

2- image 1- pae

overall this is a very good signature, i think the darkness on the right side throws it off a little, but otherwise very well done, the light colors make the gecko stand out. and the shadow/border on the text makes it look really nice. the black helps you see it. so you made
a text that matches and can be seen. the gecko's eye really is the first thing you look at. (the focal point) overall a very well done sig.



image 2-inspire

very nice sig. the swirl on the sleeve. makes everything stand out more. but it makes the hair and the face look to sharp. you should blur that a little next time. the colors make the shirt stand out. the smoke effect(not sure exactly if its that)is very nice and really catches your eye if you look at it closely. very nice signature. (:

2. Image Two: The Eagle Signiture
I quite like this signiture. The image and the lines in the background go well together, for not only does it appear that the eagle is moving yet it gives this an image of power, which an eagle should have. The light to dark shades work well with this as well since it highlights the front of the eagle, making it the first thing your eyes are drawn to.

However, I think that the colours in the background are not very appropriate to the image. The eagle in the picture looks mighty yet the colours in the background are softer. To improve this, you should change it to a red colour instead of the pink.

Image Two: Guitar Girl
I like this signiture. I like the colours which are used since it shows the guitar in a great light, giving it deeper meaning. Also, the colours on the guitar looks like the music has taken a physical form and peeling off of it. The girl position in the picture and her colour makes her stand out, and makes it look good. This is because the colours go well yet are different, making her look good.

I would have prefered it if the entire background was bright, since it would have brought the image (which is the most impressive part) forward. This then shows off the good background with the great image in order to show a trully great signiture.

Constructive Criticizing:


Pic to criticize 1

The sig is beautiful. But the "texture" you used covered the lady's face. One thing I've learned so far is when you are using textures you should not let it cover your model's face as this tends to destroy the picture quality. The sparks used on the left side on the other hand beautifies the image. It somehow makes the model's picture stand out more.

As for the text, the font used suits it perfectly. So does the color. But I think the text should be made a little bigger, but not to big or it'll destroy the entire picture. As for the creator's name placed in the pic, I think you should've used something similar to the one you used in "Are you happy now?".

Coloring is great. So is the rendering. I'll give it a 9 out of 10.

Pic to criticize 2

The picture is great. But I think the sides of the model's pic is a bit to blurred. The model's picture is also too bright for the background, making it stand out too much. I think you should've decreased the brightness a little bit, I get the odd feeling that you want the lady to stand out, but you somehow overdid it. The text is also too small and kinda hard to see. But the color and font you used was really great. Not one of your best works but not really that novicey.
I give it a 6.5 out of 10.

Art Examples

Artwork One

Artwork Two

Constructive criticism for Image One:

The color is very fitting to the gecko, since the light green fits with it well, and doesn't confuse you with the the gecko itself, the light works well with the green, since green is the kind of color that fits well with brightness. The text is a little unfitting, since "Ravenous" isn't the kind of word that can be understood well with the theme. The text itself fits well with the background since it' still easy to read, even with the slight green it has. The gecko got sucked me into the picture real fast, especially the mischievous smile that he has, and the look in the eye that he gives the viewer.

My overall opinion is that the picture was really well done, and the background fits real well, though the text is kind of confusing, and it's hard to say when you read it.

Constructive criticism for Image Two:

The color works well with the smoke-ish effect that the background has, thought the color brown looks kind of dull with the light dress. The tag makes it seem a lot more professional, the flow fits real well with the girl and the background. The text works well with the picture, "Inspire" is a perfect word for the picture, since it makes it have a real good feeling when you read it. The best part, to me, of the picture is the smoke-ich effect in the background, which also comes out of the girl.

My overall opinion of the picture is that it has a real good effect with the text and that it feels good when you read it, only bad thing is the background color, which doesn't fit too well with the girl.

i dont like how the hand in the glove is postioned and the joint dosn't look good and needs to be postions right and the belt seems to big around the waist and needs to be smaller because the image dosn't look up to its best.

Image 2

i don't like the the that little drawing next to that monster and also the monster should be shown more.i think they should take out the pencil marks that went out of the monsters head(and body) because it would look neatier.it could use some dark colors to make it scary

[Image 1] - The C4D isn't blend in that well, and the lighting is on both sides of the sig, removing depth. And the Colors are too bright, and remove depth. Overall, it is a 9/10. I really like this one, but try and add more depth.

[Image 2] - The Depth is done well, but there is not enough lighting. The smoke effect is a really nice touch, but it was taken to far. It didn't blend in well with the background, and the color scheme is too dark. Overall, I would give it an 8/10. Try to use a little bit more lighting, and brighter colors.

corrective crit.
I like the motion in the background, its flows nicely you could have done a little more on the lighting of the girl but other than that is a good picture.
the color of the girl has too much contrast compared with the rest of the picture

2. For the first alternate image (the one of the hand-sketched dragon) i like it quite a bit it is well drawn, although my personal opinion is that i think the tail should be a little bit longer. I like the way you layer the tail below the wings. I love the way the legs of the dragon looks as it looks quite real. It would have been better though if you had done it over with a nice dark charcoal pencil or 2B lead. It would also help if it was done on non-lined paper as it detracts from the sketch making it look out of place. I would give it a 8/10

For the second alternate image of the what looks to be a fighting bear it is a good sprite and is well drawn although it could be a little bigger (around 90x90 pix) other wise the armour is well done tucked under the "bears" arms and is well drawn. The shading of the sprite is well done but is hard to notice due to the small size, the only real problem with this image is that it is too small. This is a well made sprite and i give it 7/10.

I do like this sig, there is something about the girl that just catches your attention, especially putting it on the light background. It just gives out a very calm feeling; especially with the girls expressions and the way she looks down at the instrument, it gives me a calm feeling. Overall there are minor mistakes (in my opinion) with it, I think that the orange parts could be abit more lighter, contrasting with the darker bits. You cannot really see the orange in some bits, or it just looks plain weird


This is something i can give CC for. First of the plate, the gloves are WAY too big for his hands, if you thought about it they'd probably fall off, due to his skinny arms. The shins and feet are abit how do you say it 'detail-less' and just look like big chunks with lines. There are not many 'big' things wrong with this, the rest is just petty things. Also the top-half of the posture of the character appears like he's bending slightly; although from the hips down its straight again, making it look stupid.

 just an fyi, im not really going to be making a gallery or whatnot- just wanna be able to tell my friends how're they're doin on sigs and ect.

Two Forms of art:

Alright, lets rant about this thing.
First of all, theres way too much text- its upsetting the balance of the sig, its large, attention grabbing and ugly to look at. It takes too much room and draws the eye away from the rest of the image which in a lack of a better description is pretty simple in of itself really. The only relation inside the sig is the fact that theres a bird and the word "eagle" in there. Other than that- theres no overall theme to it! Just a render or stock, whatever you may want to call it, and text. Its not abstract thats for sure, otherwise i wouldn't be able to make out a bird and if thats not a bird then by god i need glasses! And dont give me that "its a griffen, no its a hawk" none-sense- thats the equivalent of saying "thats not a tree, its an oak." The overall color scheme is a bit weird, Brown, Pink, and Black are the dominant colors of the sig and its very displeasing. The tag "by graph" is a little hard to read i would recomend using a different font, the size is ok. Ok now heres the suggestion- we've established that the sig makes no sense(no offense, I love you), so lets fix that. You want the theme to match the title atleast even a little but so lets follow with "Death From Above" The pink can work out- add a few shades of dark and light to give the illusion of, idk clouds? In other words, simpler words, add contrast would be the common terminology. But really -just- adding contrast really doesn't tell you anything. Make the bg look like something- a sky maybe, since its pink you can make it a sunsetish- setting. Thats just my overall opinon. Now say you wanna keep the sig the way it is, old school style, thats ok. What would make it better? less text/decrease text size or increase the size of the some depth in the background- its flat right now add more shades of a darker pink. Blend a little more, take a soft brush eraser and run it along the outer side of the render to blend it in with the background. IDK if thats a dropdown shadow or part of the original, but get rid of it
- if you're going to make a generally flat sig keep it that way- that in itself will add a little depth since things will be blended there will be a sense of softness to it. If you wanna go super old school you can go ahead and take a few soft grunge brushes and add that to the background on soft light- then bevel the text.


well, mostly an abstract background, not exactly my liking but i'll work with it. The bridge of the guitar is overly burnt to the point where you can only make out its a red/white light - looking at that portion of the sig somewhat resembles looking at the sun, and in the same way makes absolutely no sense. Now that may only be because my screen is set to a high brightness but from my point of view, whatever you overlayed on it is a little too light- if it was done on purpose then undo it. The attempt the "blend" the render is better done in this sig than that previous one which doesn't say much seeing as the previous sig lacked any. So we're getting somewhere with the blending but it still is unable to hide the mistakes of the actual rendering job. Her left upper left arm (right arm from our view) is choppy and very noticable. I dont know if the attempt to hide it was to blur it or fade it but in any case whichever method you chose, you need to do a bit more of it. I am not too sure about red on yellow, i think the thing would look better if you use a viarety of colors instead of one overpowering color. This sig looks like it was made roughly 1.5-2 years ago when that style was the fo-shiznit. IN those days standards i would assume the sig would get a 'zomg' rating but as for now, or atleast the last time i saw a trend- which was using natural colors then i dont think it would stand well. Theres more depth than before, thats a good. Honestly i wouldn't know how to fix that thing, i think more color usage would be nice, just not so much as to give one a seizure. Making that render a little darker might help, aswell as reverting to the original colors of the render, then matching the background to suit the render. Its not always the case, but most of the time its better to change the backgroud to fit the render than the vise-versa. Give it a music theme and a mood

Art Examples
Image 1
Alt Image 1

Constructive Critiscism:
Image 1: When i first saw this sig the "eagle88" part of the text almost instantly caught my eye, this is mainly due to the fact(in my opinion) that the western style text doesn't go with the background as well as the cursive does and the large text also kind of takes away the attention from the eagle itself and the signiture at the bottom.

Overall: The eagle seems to go pretty well with the background, just not so much with the blue feathers on the wing.

Alt Image 1: The image is well sketched and shaded in some areas and the little dentist on the side also adds some humor into the image, not too much else I can say on this image other than the colouring is also well done.

Overall: The uncoloured man on the side may add humor however is ill noticed, i'd personally give it around 8/10.

Criticism:

Image 1
The text was the first thing that caught my attention: I think the image would look better without it. It's pretty over contrasted, but the effects are nice. It doesn't have a clear focal: lighting is everywhere, I would work that a bit more.

Image 2
Again, the text caught my attention. I like the colors, but I think that the lightning is not very well done: again, it's everywhere. I would add some more effects.

1.My Art:



2.Constructive Criticism:

Image 1-
The parts of this piece that stand out to me are the flow, lighting, and color. The C4D effect creates good flow to match the rest of the stock. Also the lighting is good becuase it looks very natural and fits in with the background. Lastly the color doesn't look forced. It also matches nicely with the woman in the sig without changing the color of her skin too much. Some of the parts that weren't so great to me was the lack of effects and the text. I felt that there should've have been more effects than just the C4D. You could have used some sort of smudging or filters to just make this piece a little bit better. Also it may just be me but it rarely seems that text looks good. I only find it working in concept pieces instead of regular sigs like this one.

Image2-
In this piece I really like the colors and the flow. The colors blend together well while not being forced and the flow is great because it is complimented by the C4D on the left. However I dont really like the text, depth and some of the C4D. Yet again the text is a killer for me. Sometimes a great work of art can be brought down by bad text. The depth I don't feel is great because the C4D is sharp while the focal point (the girl) seems blurry and distant. Lastly the brightness of the C4D could be toned down a little bit.

If you dont succced once try try again

Art Examples:
Background
Background 2
I can never choose!
The Order of The Moglin

Image one:
The first thing to grab my attention on this image was the lighting effects, because of there bright colour they lightens up the whole picture, but they make the word “Mystery” hard to read because of the high contrast in the background. I noticed the scratching effects near the bottom corners, it really gives some effect to the picture. You also made the image stand out from the rest because of the interesting background. Altogether a good image but you could have done better with the lighting effects.

Image two:
I like the sudden change of colour in the corner because it gives some more life to the picture. I don’t like the wavy effects in the bottom left corner though because it doesn’t seem to fit. I like the idea of the swirls coming from the girl because it makes it look somewhat mystic. I also like the idea of the dark background and the lighter foreground because it makes the girl stand out from the rest. Altogether a very well done picture.

Well, I'll give it a shot ;)

C&C:

So, this tag lacks sufficent depth, and the dissortion draws the focus away from the focal point. In addition to that, the lucid feel causes the eye to drift to the left. (Insufficent flow could be the cause of this, though it is hard to determine.) The lighting is alright, but it could be alot brighter, so it's more noticable. The colors are pretty bad. It has one main color scheme that consists of about three different colors, which doesen't look so great on this tag.


Alright, this one is better, but it's missing somthing. The render isin't blended very well. The outline is still VERY noticible. The text draws the eyes away from the focal. The grainy backround also damages your depth a little. Try blurring areas of the tag that would be further away.

Comments & Criticism:



The things that my eyes are drawn to in this tag is C4D, Colour, Text and the Render.

As I look at the tag, my eyes are drawn towards the C4D. I dont like it much. I would suggest you atleast blend it in or color balance it to make it look like the rest of the tag. The background fits the render however I think more effects could have been added. More flow, more smudging, more brushing. The render doesn't blend into the background that well. The background suits it fine, however with no smudging, brushing or effects to actually blend it well into the background the render looks really plain. The colour of the sig is mostly good as it flows well together, however the C4D takes all attention out of everything else.

I dont like the text. I can see what the effects were trying to show, but it doesnt look natural. It looks like someone did some effects for the text on another sig to make it fit that, and then pasted the text onto this tag with the effects attached. The text font itself I <3.
I looked closely and managed to see your name, I understand you used it for secuirty purposes etc, but I think you should have moved the "Grafh" to somewhere else and instead added the "Are you happy now?" text in that position.



Great tag. I love the way you added small hints of liquify to the girls shoulders and arms to make them look like they are drifting away from her. It gives the tag a really calm and tiring image. I like how the left part of her shoulder liquify's out and stops in a small flowershape, I also like the top left red background thing.

What I don't like in this tag however is the lack of effects. Fine, liquify. Thats great. But using the liquify tool a couple of times doesn't make a great tag. The girl herself has strange blurry arms which my eyes are instantly drawn to. Her head has nothing done to it and I understand you might not have wanted to. The left hand side of the sig is completely empty apart from that 1 liquified piece of arm from the girl and the red in the background, there should have been something else to make it less empty.

I like how you have a small liquified piece coming from the bottom near your name.

Text, the text is great. I always love seeing the use of the underlining of text, its even better because it isn't bright and doesn't draw your attention straight away. Instead you can look at the sig and then see the name of the piece and your name.

Constructive Critiscism:
Image 1: When i first saw this sig the "eagle88" part of the text almost instantly caught my eye, this is mainly due to the fact(in my opinion) that the western style text doesn't go with the background as well as the cursive does and the large text also kind of takes away the attention from the eagle itself and the signiture at the bottom.

Overall: The eagle seems to go pretty well with the background, just not so much with the blue feathers on the wing.

Alt Image 1: The image is well sketched and shaded in some areas and the little dentist on the side also adds some humor into the image, not too much else I can say on this image other than the colouring is also well done.

Overall: The uncoloured man on the side may add humor however is ill noticed, i'd personally give it around 8/10.

Constructive criticism

Image 1
The picture has many great aspects, such as detail, and muscle. The way the dragon turns is very well done, but I personally think the head is a bit too large for the body. I also like the appearence of the feet but they don't quite seem to be the right size for the head. For the left wing I would suggest making it slightly larger, with the same slope already there. Overall it's a great picture, but mostly I would suggest either a narrower or smaller head. Otherwise I would say it's a very well done picture.

Image 2
I'm not great at drawing people, so I wouldn't take what I say too deeply to heart, but what from I see the overall appearence is good. One conflict I see is that the body seems to be trying to turn foward and left at the same time. (my left) Such as the chest seems to be turning at a slight left while the brown clothing seems to be turning foward because of the parting. Colorwise, the only thing I see is that darker areas should be toward the inside the arms as well. I would say it's a well drawn picture considering other artwork in the same genre I've seen.
