A brand new Graphic Designer.

[Tansuo]

First off, I am a retired RS player: I spent far too much time on it so had to kick it out my life. Went cold turkey.

I haven't been on these forums in a very long time, normally using the EA forums, but recently I have started to design signatures etc, mainly publishing on the EA forum and I remembered that TIF had a Graphics forum, so I thought I'd pay it a visit.

Well I am brand new at this, so these are my first few attempts at it.

 

 

Originals:

 

As Dandaman619 points out below, both the LFD style hand and the Nuke are design using tutorials.

 

[hide=Left For Dead style hand]Apologies for the white outlines, only noticed after I saved etc. :wall:

New--

[hide= This was just a thought that came to my head. "Guardian Angel"][/hide]

 

[hide= Guardian Angel 2][/hide]

 

I made the earth using a tutorial (http://www.gimpusers.com/tutorials/exploding-planet.html) then adapted it to create Earth.

 

[hide= Assassin's Creed 2, advert of sorts. Quality affected during upload ][/hide]

 

[hide=I decided to make my AC2 image into a signature...Large image, sorry >.<]][/hide]

 

So yeah, any feedback/advice is welcome :)

I really like the Nuke piece, if you develop that more it'd be quite cool! :)

 

Some of your other work lacks a little quality on the backgrounds.

Well for the Battlefield peice, the background is meant to be like that, its a motion blur.

But for the Vidic one, yeah i get your point. The LFD one is just an image, no Gimp effects added there... although the white outline on the hand annoys me,

 

As to the nuke, I was in the process of modifying it :)

There's nothing wrong with posting images you've created using tutorials - but it would be nice if you posted urls to tutorials/gave credit :)

Hrm.. I just haven't really been posting in The Gallery. Maybe I should start doing some arty things or something again. Nice to see you again Pat. :)
