Alright, I'm a little behind 8) . Writing the reviews right now :).

Replies to everyone: You can do any type of art you want. All it needs to do is express your feelings and emotions from the song You can pm me or post it here. Due date? I'd like to give this a couple weeks unless it really dies down.

I have no clue what you're talking about :? . Ehh I'm kinda tired people..I'll do these tomorrow :lol: . I'm sorry, but times a been rough and I just need some sleep :oops: . Night

Okay folks, the idea here is to find at most two songs and create a piece that you feel relates to the song and conveys the emotions. The song does not matter, but there are a few rules: Rules 1. The image must be atleast 500 x 500. 2. You must list the song title and artist. 3. The name of the song must be in the piece. 4. You can only have TWO entries so put a lot of work into them. 5. You may use stock photos BUT the original photo must be posted. Of course, if the original isn't changed then you will be less likely to win. 6. Be creative and dont' get too sick of the song :wink: Try and make them wallpapers if you can so people can use if they want Prizes First - 100k Second - 50k Third - 50k Sorry the prizes aren't much, but I don't really have much RS money. There is no need to put sample because I'm not using these for anything. I will be the judge of the contest. Important: There will NOT be comments on how you can improve the piece. Make changes as you wish. This is about your expression, not what I want. Have fun! This will end in...I dunno not for a while.

Awesome post :). I put the link in my sig and would like to thanks for the link to my commentings post :D

Alright, many apologies guys :( . I had to go work out and eat and now it's hw time. I should get all the new ones that have been posted in about an hour or less :D .

:twisted: Why would I ruin a beautiful car with red tint? :lol: Haha nice work. I gotta ask though..I just dont' get how you get such nice lines when vectoring. The pen tool hates me...either I can't get it to behave or I try freeform and it looks like [cabbage] :?

Yup :). I had been thinking bout something I could do to kind of give back and I remembered that spurt of sig rating threads we used to have. I'll get to everyone's asap. It will be one large post again :).

Jlr's Sig: Well first off your name is very hard to find and read. Which is fine if you wanted it that way, but if you didn't :? I definetly like the message portrayed here, but I'm quite confused on the feeling. The reds and oranges help with an autumn feel but then there's green leaves also :? The leaves and wood seem very basic and generic. There's no feeling to them, no texture. They're very bland. Nice idea, but could use with some better execution. Also, maybe the "light" shining in could be more direct and it could be darker around it so theres more of a focus? Molishist: I definetly love the colors here. There's also some great brushing there. The main problem I see is the white area. It's just too..white? White always seems so empty, maybe just make it a very light shade of the closest color around it? The background could use some more depth too. It's very shallow. The text is easy to read but the white then follows up to the white blob in the middle and hurts my eyes. Very nicely done though. Hadgan 1: This one just seems...very sloppy. You shouldn't use black lines to illustrate details. Use different shades of the color. For instance, on the tree just use a darker brown instead of black. You're right, the wall needs a lot of work. I don't think he'd hold the axe that way either..You really should try actually pixeling instead of trying to just freehand draw. Everything will turn out much better. Hadgan 2: Once again it looks like you just tried to free hand everything. Sorry for not commenting on this much, but I really feel you should try and learn some about anatomy, proportion, and perspective. They all seem to be very off here. How2pk: It's very basic, but interesting. I like the grayscale colors and then the contrast of red. It seems to lack detail though. I'd like to be able to almost get lost in the image due to it's nature but that doesn't happen. It doesn't really need to be more busy..just more intricate if that makes sense? Very nice and unique though. Despaxes 1: This is definetly the better one of the two. The shading is good and I like the attention paid to the hair. The ground seems really bland though. It's way too uniform. The sky is way too empty. Maybe just some dark stormy clouds? My real problem here is that everything appears to be in layers. It's like the castle is there, and then the lava stream, and then the people. There needs to be more interaction. Despaxes 2: I hope you dont' mind if I don't comment much on this one. There is no shading, the water has poor attention to detail, the perspective seems off, and the ghost? is very sloppy. You can do better. stksidehi8: It's very detailed and technical. I'm really drawn off by the faded feeling. I'd like something to focus in on and I cant' find one. My eyes really just take it in altogether. Some stronger colors and a focal point could really help. The animation is great. The font for the "the dynasty" doesn't go with the sig and the text for your name though. Good work. Azvareth: I love it dude. Disappointing that you didnt' draw the guy though because he is what makes the piece. I'm really drawn to his eyes and where they're looking. The minimalistic feel is great. The text is a perfect fit too :). Sragal 1: I really feel this piece could use some brushing. I don't mind simplistic pieces, but there isn't much to look at here. Not really any detail and no focal point. The effect on the text doesn't look very good either. Sragal 2: This one is really nice. I really like the brushing. There's a lot of depth and color. The grungey effect doesn't seem to fit here though. The piece seems to dirty. I'd like the colors to be sharper and brought out. The highlights don't stand out like they should. The text doesn't seem to really fit again. The font isn't right. Note to everyone: dont' be offended :wink:

k, just got home :). I'll look them all over and then make a giant post containing everything 8)

For a third pixel, I feel you did a good job. There is too much of a visible change in the shading. Try to make it more gradual. Also, maybe try some textures next time? The dragon's body shouldn't appear the same as the guy's clothes ;). He just needs some scales. The ranger's cloak seems too..straight? Maybe make it flow more. Overall, I feel you have a nice perspective and everything seems proportionate. Things that need work: shading, add some texture, and there could maybe be some more details? Good job 8)

Well, just post your sig or multiple sigs if you wish :). I'll take any kind of sig. You must be ready to take criticism though! And I do not give number ratings. You'll get a detailed response regarding the sig and my likes/dislikes. Have a nice day and post as many as you want :).

You see, there's an expansion for MSPaint you can get called "skill." It's pretty hard to find sometimes it just has to be preinstalled. Now judging by your lack of intelligence, I'd say you have not been blessed with "skill".

When are people going to learn that "hitted" and "quitted" aren't words..

First off, that's quite a bit of work for a sig that you might not even pay for..and if you do it will probably be very little. Second, take a screenshot when in RS (ctrl + print screen) and then open ms paint and hit cntrl + v/paste. Then just go to save as and choose to save as a .jpg or .png file. Then go to imageshack.us and upload the file.

Your sig is way too large. Please remove it.

I just don't the like the new topic...not to mention I can't draw worth [cabbage] on the comp :P

I'll prolly try in a min. Can't guarantee it'll be anything good though :? ..I'm beyond just rusty :(

There isn't really much shading? It's just kind of a subtle gradient..Maybe try getting a light sourche and illuminating the corresponding parts of the armor. Also, armor has texture too, so maybe try some 8)

I don't think you'll have to worry about anyone stealing that...

Wow..this sucks lol. Mad props to people who can actually draw with a mouse. And kudos if you can even make out anything :? . Spent like ~8 mins on it?

Where did you get the render :? ? I highly doubt you made it..so was it a free download, and if so you should credit the author. If you stole it..tsk tsk and shame on you.

No offence, but I actually like the characters in that one better than your current ones. They do have a nice style now though so it's good that you're unique 8)

Sorry...that's nowhere near 300k.

Maybe you should do free ones for a while then? And the first couple have ripped backgrounds..
