new piece up, it isnt from scratch this time. the picture is me, but i did not take it. (I only had that shirt on for a second, i swear) Tell me what you think, its for a background image

the new one looks better i think, the globe being brighter and all. Possibly make the land look less blue? possibly add some green to it so it looks more like land, making the whole thing look more like a globe.

Or... (this may sound corny) you could work in the Recycle logo, instead of drawing a map. The globe idea is probably better, but the recycle logo with the 3 arrows would be easier imo. It is already very good looking. I'm just not sure what the dark spots on the "gem-like thing" are. (i might be entirely wrong here) Maybe make easily-identifyable continents... like a rough outline of North America or Africa, so you can tell that its a globe. (and maybe is not supposed to be)

Do i smell a story line? :) Looks pretty good so far. The dialogue sounds so much better this time around. This is a good start, and the animation is much better as well.

I like your gallery. I'm looking for a few tips, did you draw the girl in the purple one? (8th from the top) and also, jw how you did the 3-d shard shapes. I'm talking about this I like a lot of these, particularly the 8th and 9th down, and the one at the top. edit: i answered my own question. i just learned about renders. i'm guessing thats what that is?

This will be fun. :P

Good work. Hopefully it pays off :P

Let's get a new one started. I need something to do :rolleyes:

Hehe Lowfatmilk, didnt you sell the rights to that image? I like it, no doubt i'll vote for it :)

Again this guide has proven itself. I am now 2/3 at this. My first cape came at level 92, and now again at 104. This guide needs to stay at the top - because it will truly get you a fire cape if you work it right.

Excellent guide. I dont meet the range level for this guide, but i can still make it work. Defence is so under rated at this place. Using monks, i can get up to 130 kc before i start to pick up bones, no familiar, pots, or prayer. I use d'hide top, coif, vambs, torag legs and snakeskins: rune c'bow and broads (basically the cheapest setup) I'm wondering if knives/darts would pay for themselves eventually. Ill have to post a test and let you know. Good guide, maybe add a tank section? That is sort of a low level strategy tho.

This is really good. I personally like the high-contrast brightness of it. A+ pixel, can't imagine the hours that it took.

I personally think that the part over his fore-arms should be more rigid, possibly some of the same spikes that are on the shoulders. I can't critique this with a straight face. I'm sure you know MUCH better than me :) Keep doing what you do best. (and grats on getting recognized in the player gallery)

I'm also new to graphic design [similar (in a way) to this]. I'm not going to repeat what's been said. Your dialogue seems extremely out of place. If you're trying to make the alien talk poorly, mix it up a bit. Don't put aweful grammatical errors on every single word that comes from him. It makes it impossible to read, and doesn't even sound like hes trying to speak english. Even if you aren't the best at dialogue, at least try and make it sound decent. "his head just got all big"..... I may be like everybody else. It doesnt even seem like you tried to come up with flowing dialogue. It sounds like a 7-year-old telling a story. A great storyline can cover up sloppy animation. (but it takes both to be something that stands out) I'd really suggest that you start over (maybe retain those epic battles of Darkness vs. Fire until those characters have been introduced). Select a main character and explain his situation. This seem like.. watching someone play Tekken.. "Yoshimitsu and Tarutaru are fighting on a spaceship! With no purpose, story, or setup." The short and sweet - The greatest animator in the WORLD could not make this work. Keep trying, anyone can learn to do this type of thing. However, it takes practice. So far: all you have is 5 pages that explain nothing. Put yourself in the shoes of the reader. They don't know what's coming up, they ONLY know what has happened on frames before the one they're currently reading. Holes in the story completely killed it for me. Whew. Good luck man, it does take a lot of time to make a project that the public will see as worthwhile. If you're making this comic for yourself, who cares. But you've posted this in a public place - so try and appeal to at least one person besides yourself. :)

Hi everyone. i havent posted anything new in ages. I've been doing stuff for my schools website and slacking :( Ill spend tonight and get a new piece up. RS has been keeping me preoccupied. Im hoping to get back on track right now. Edit: I spent most of my time today making a piece for SOTW. After the party is over on that tread, ill post it here or exchange it for my current one. Also made my avitar last night on illustrator. I wont post it, its already all over this thread :?

If you made that red and gold banner, then good work on that one. making realistic banners is what i'm working on at the moment. I won't say much else, my exp in graphic design is lacking, but I think I did similar things when i started out. I made a picture of an RS character, and thought that jacking up the contrast, and dropping the lightness looked better, but.. for custom-made graphics it spoils them. Maybe for modifying a screenshot, but for custom-created items, its a no-no. Hope this helps. :)

New banner up, and it's going on the school website tonight :) Also, if anyone wants a copy of any of my vectors, I'll be glad to share them. Some of the detail is lost on photoshop, but the music notes and banners look really clean on illustrator. Can provide colored or blank. Thanks everyone for staying involved with my thread. The feedback has, without a doubt, impacted how my work turns out. So keep thowing me tips :)

Thanks guys. I asked the guy who runs the website for my school, and he agreed to let me make the graphics for the web site (assuming they turn out well) I'm gonna make a few panels for the web site, ill post them here :razz: I'm really liking illustrator, more on the way! Thanks again everyone!

2 new pieces of work added. (one is hidden in project 4). Tell me what you think, thanks.

A few people have said that to me. Looking at that picture now, i can see how "adding flashiness" to it wasnt the best of ideas. It probably wouldn't look so juvenile if had left those out. thanks for the feedback, ill probably have my current project up by tonight.

that's what i'm hoping to do next. tomorrow night or maybe the next day, i'll hopefully have a hand in action with more time spent on details, not just outline work.

Thanks, I got it working. :^_^:

Thanks littleboy. I've gotten some ideas from those, i'll probably toss a in a concept from one of those soon. Adren - Thats because the guitar was simple as hell. :wink: Thanks tho! I'll try to add in some flow to my next background. I think adding other 3D objects (besides the guitar for example) would really bring the background out. Abstract lines using Viscous Alien Paint and a drop shadow came to mind first. Thanks you two for your feedback. Can someone also tell me... how to add "hide" buttons on my post, so I can hide all images except for the most recently posted items? Please and thanks :-P More coming soon.
