Pop art/abstract photo manips. is not one of my favorite styles, but it still looks pretty nice, good job.

Added my entry for my photo manip. contest.

Mine:

Your welcome :wink: Thanks unoalexi, 8/10 bats is enough bats for me :wink:

Thanks TIA, maybe we will get more people now :) LP thanks for the suggestion but I think we'll stick with the one I picked. Oh and,LP and TIA are you not joining?

Sorry to be harsh but I'm going to have to agree with Nadril. The characters look 100% buddy kitted as well.

Looks great other than the buttons being a little boring. :wink:

Alright, I went ahead and picked a photo. It should be pretty challenging in my eyes. There's still 2 days left to sign up so hopefully we will see some more entrants.

Just updated the stuff I haven't added yet. It's all been posted in other topics though, so most of you have seen it all.

Very nice. Deffinately your best.

Well as for the manipulating you did a pretty good job. Everything is cleanly cut and so on. As for the manip. its self, it's not exactly my thing, and I'm left with an over all feeling of... wtf? Not necessarily a bad thing haha, its just odd. :wink:

Well first of all, if you are going to be posting multiple pieces in a day, you need to create one page that you update. Having 4 threads on the first page by the same artist tends to clog things up. As for the manip. If your just going for changing colors on a photo then you did a good job. But if you want something artistic.... There's nothing to it. You don't have any focal point except for a large blur. Sometimes that works, if the blur is to represent something like the sun as it sets or rises, but because you changed the colors, we don't know if the sky is of the right color for that case. So as I said your only focus point is a large blur, which is rather boring. Sorry if it sounds harsh, its not supposed to be, just c/c.

Very nice, only problem I can see is that you might have blown the sky out a bit. Try replacing the sky maybe and it will be great.

Thanks :) Glad you like TIF :)

Good point, and fair enough. :XD: Can we enter a sig that was not made specifically for this contest, but was still made this week? If so, here is my entry, and if not, please disregard:

Entry did not meet rules. Might repost one later.

K. I'm going to try to find a better photo composition wise to start off with and reattempt it.

Thanks! Ya, I never really expect to beat them, but at least I always try. :wink:

I think I almost used this photo in a manip the other day. 8-) Anyways, its not one of my favorites. The effects overall are alright, but I'm not a big fan of the colors.

Or do you think v3 is better?

Thanks for the C/C :) Hows V2? Is it better?

Followed a tut when I was making an order from my sig shop: Original V2: V3: C/C or rates?? [hide=New Attempt][/hide]

[hide=Original, by me][/hide] C/C Please :D
