I think it looks decent, not sure about the colours of the C4Ds/spot in the bottom left corner though. Overall, it looks pretty good from a distance, but if you take a closer look the different elements just don't seem to go together very well. I'd try and fix this with a few colour changes and see how that looks, it might work.

It doesn't, you probably just didn't know how to use it. Its interface isn't very user friendly, but it's a powerful application. Anyway, OT: I pretty much agree with what DH already said. I quite like the cartoony style, but the shading could indeed use some work. With some refining, it could be a really good piece, but some elements look pretty sloppy right now.

Definitely an improvement. :thumbup: I still think the dunes are at too much of an angle, though... :P Here's a reference picture, since it's quite hard to explain: [hide=Large image, be warned.][/hide]

First one: Not a fan of it. The colour scheme is very monotone and quite boring, and I'm not really sure about the white lines, smudging and text. Just doesn't really work IMO, a bit too simple maybe... Second one: Not bad apart from the border, the style is pretty good. Quite monotone though, again, and the composition isn't great with the dead centre focal point. Although it's not too bad in this case. Third one: I think I can see what kind of style you were aiming at here, and the outcome isn't too bad, but IMO there's too much contrast between the left and the right side. And again, get rid of the border. :P

It's not too bad for a first drawn signature, but there are still plenty of things to improve on. A few C/Cz0rz: Colour choice: could be worse, but especially the colours of the sky and sun make the drawing look slightly childish (although that's not really your fault since it's a desert scene). Try to use less saturated colours. Background: looks quite sloppy in general. The sand dunes should be more round-ish at the top (so more curved) and less pointy and mountain-like (like littleboy said). Also, the clouds seem quite unrealistic, try looking at some photos to get an idea of what they look like. And chunk of big yellow sun in corner = no win. :( The sun should be much lighter, almost white and it should be round and not stuck in a corner. Shadows: there are no cast shadows on the ground, which seems quite strange when there's such a big sun right next to everything... :wink: Text: kind of ruins it because of the placement, not very well readable either. I'd just make it a bit smaller, change its colour and stick it in a corner or something. Text can be evil. Your shading and character/monster aren't too bad though, just keep practising with this style of art.

I really like the second one from the edited photos for some reason. I think it's because the simplicity of that one works really well. Nice job. :thumbsup: (<- Wow, that smiley looks stupid with a Christmas hat on...)

Applying what you read in tutorials is probably what most newer people struggle with, but it will get easier as you get more experienced. For now, I'd recommend just following a few tutorials step-by-step. You don't have to post/keep the outcomes, but doing this will help you understand things better. You can always start making some more creative/original signatures later.

^ I'm pretty sure that was made by etexblue a while ago. And like pryo said, since it wasn't made by or for you, using it would be against the rules. I wouldn't recommend just Googling and editing/using images; you can never be sure who owns them and most of the things you find there are copyrighted. Instead, if you're looking for a signature, you could try requesting one at The Art Bazaar.

Awesumawesumawesumawesumawesum. Thanks a lot! :D

Oh, if you have permission from the original creator it's fine.

I'm afraid you can't just put text on someone else's work, though. Even only posting them here as a template is considered serious copyright infringement. :| I'd recommend taking the avatar and signature down immediately. You might not have any intentions of ripping, but you could still get into a lot of trouble for this.

Ok, no problem. \ I'm not a sir though. :P

I'll call it: The Rainbow Tree. What do you think? Probably not what you're looking for, so don't feel obliged to use them. If you don't like them, I'll just change the text and give them away to someone else, so no harm done. :D

What I want: Signature please. :D Dimensions: You can pick. Colours: Green-ish, bit of blue and maybe some orange. Text: None Render: http://www.planetrenders.net/renders/di ... pos=-38391 Subtext: None Notes: I'd like just that green one-eyed guy at the top left to be included. Make it weird and quirky.

3. Oh wait. 4.

Looks really good, I agree about the density of the text though. If you could add some more small words I think that would greatly improve the quality of the piece, mainly because the whole shape of the car wasn't entirely clear to me at first glance. But nice work.

I know, laziness has struck though. D: So if Shiny doesn't mind, I think I'm going to keep it this way. But thanks anyway. :D

Yeah, the filteriness seems to be the main problem here. I wonder what it looks like without.

Bye. Have fun with whatever you plan on doing next.

:?:

I'll give you some advice, not about the pixel though. Because put bluntly, I just think you need to stop complaining. It seems to me that on nearly every thread you make, you never actually show that you've learned anything from the advice that you did get (which is, even by your standards of what is helpful, quite substantial) and you never seem terribly grateful for it. And although I must agree with you that certainly not every comment here was intended to help or contribute to the thread in a somewhat positive manner, I also think that calling it a "flame-ish war of doom" is taking it way too far (even if you were just jokingly exaggerating) - and not in the last place for the reason that even if it was, responding to the people that 'flamed' in the way that you just did would only mean that they got the response that they wanted: one from an upset person - and I can't help thinking that maybe, just maybe you like to use it as an excuse for not being able to handle any of the slightly harsher criticism. I do hope that you can prove me wrong on this point, though. And yes, I realize this wasn't the sort of reply you were hoping for either, but I'm just stating my opinion here, and after all that's another major thing that forums are for. But, like I said before, I definitely hope that you can prove me wrong on at least some, but hopefully all of the things mentioned above.

QUOTEPASTA.

^ It was a watermark, just ignore it. Anyway: Weird glowing eyes FTW. Finished? Shiny decides.

Yup. And one on the left (upside down) actually.
