Re: General ConCrit Thread For Graphics
Yeah, I'm still on Paint. Thanks for the advice and compliments! I realized about the dark on her hand just too late, like usual. And yeah, I think the text outlined would look really good, though how I would go about doing so is another project for another time. Perhaps break. Thanks again!!

Re: General ConCrit Thread For Graphics
I was typing out concrit for your banners when I realised that Kit pretty much took the words right out of my mouth. Very nice overall, and AMAZING for working with paint.
Would anyone concrit my work a few posts up please? ![]()

Re: General ConCrit Thread For Graphics
![]() Griffie, these 2 are my favorites over all: ![]() ![]() Overall, they are really great. I love the blend on the image, and I think the coloring is really well done. However the color on the second one, it just doesn't seem to fit. Maybe it's just me, but I like the bluer ones, and this just seems a bit too red or something. Not bad coloring, just doesn't work here in my opinion. Also, the one with the inset, again, while I really like it, I think it's too small an area. Then again, any smaller and it probably didn't work. Also, is it just me, or is anyone else seeing what looks like the head of a guy wearing a bowtie floating just between their heads??

Re: General ConCrit Thread For Graphics
I posted these in another thread, but I want your guys' opinions on them, so I had to shrink 'em down so I could post them in here!

Re: General ConCrit Thread For Graphics
I'm Imagining that your banners at full size to concrit here.
I think you have a nice clean style over all. I like the overlays you have on your banners. Of the Voldemort banners, I think I like the last one best.

Re: General ConCrit Thread For Graphics
A few avatars for you to have a look at. To me they seem sometimes too sharp, but i'm not great at softening faces. Any tips on that would be great.

Re: General ConCrit Thread For Graphics
This one's my favorite...I've always liked that pic and I like these light textures that are pretty widely used now. The faces look fine to me personally. The coloring is good on all of them, and the animation is nice on the first one.

As for softening faces, my advice would be to use a Gaussian Blur layer--set low and opaque it can give a really soft effect without looking too fuzzy. I really like your stuff!

Re: General ConCrit Thread For Graphics
Drazer,do you mean softening the whole face or just the edges? I've had a lot of success with feathering when I make my selections. Just one or two pixels really soften the edges to make them feel more three dimensional.
I think the second one is the best, but I think that the yellow in Ron's scarf kind of clashes with the beautiful sepia tones you have.... Man I wish I had more time to stop in this thread! ![]() |

Re: General ConCrit Thread For Graphics
Well this is just my humble opinion Flim but I think because Rupert's head is tilted the icon looks unbalanced and he stands out a lot more - but then maybe that was what you intended? With Ron kind of dreaming about Hermione? I love the Hermione bit of it though!

Thanks! I didn't intend it at first to be that way but their skin tones din't match quite right. (maybe someone knows how to do that?) So then I though the "dreaming" aspect might be a good alternative....

Re: General ConCrit Thread For Graphics
Getting skintones to match can be very tricky!
Here are a few of my recent ones: Firstly HP related: 1. ![]() Non-HP 2 ![]() 3 ![]() 4 ![]() 5 ![]() (I think I need to move the text on this one to make it easier to read) 6 ![]()

Re: General ConCrit Thread For Graphics
I've been wanting to do this thread for a while. I've decided to post grfx I've done that I like the turn out on, but want other feedback. I went thru the rules but may goof up, just let me know. I'll follow up at some point with ones I did that I really hated. Thanks in advance for any comments.
![]() BTW Kitunen, I've really been loving your new text siggie. 1. ![]() 2. ![]() 3. ![]() 4. ![]() original basefor the motorcycle. 5. ![]() 6. ![]() 7. ![]() 8. ![]() TTFN Last edited by annie_magus; January 13th, 2008 at 4:19 am. |

Re: General ConCrit Thread For Graphics
I like the texture, but the blend of the coloring could be better. Rupert looks much brighter and more stark than the dreamy look Hermione has. I really like Hermione though.
I agree with Tenshi that some variety in font style, color, and size would be great! I like the coloring on 6 and the cropping on 5. 3 is an interesting pic, but cropping his leg off looks a bit odd to me. I really like the cap for 1, and I think with some interesting filters and textures it could be great. I really like the Graphix one, interesting coloring and the text color really pops. I love purple so I liked the Harley one immediately. I'd erase the square border around the emblem, and maybe put a border around the outside of the bike as it looks like it's edges are really blurred. I like the idea behind this one a lot, but Hermione seems to be pushed too far to the side. Maybe if you changed the angle of Harry's face and lowered Hermione a bit it wouldn't look so cramped. The coloring is very nice! The filters or adjustment layers on this are a tad stark, and the text and text color don't seem to go well with the picture. ____ And here's a couple of mine that I'd like some critique on. 1. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Anyways I will put all advice into practice and see what I can come up with! Kala_Way: Love all of your icons - don't know what else to say, but I bow to your talent! #2 is simply BRILLIANT though I really really love that icon - thought provoking, clever and just absolutely brilliant! *insert bowing smiley* #7 I take it is the 4 founders - *Is awestruck* Okay I give up - I'm incapable of concrit on Kala Way's icons so I'll go away!
