B's Experiments

[The Illusive Man]

Impressive work B! I'm really liking your avatars, excellent colouring, text choice and placement, you definatley got talent lass, keep it up ^^

 

[Gingerbread Lesbian]

Thanks everyone, I'll keep your advice in mind

;

Both of them are great, the 1st one looks epic and the colours are fantastic! The render is great and the font and glow are chosen effectively. The 2nd one is also great, the font and placement is good and I love the image!

Keep it up ^^

I'm working on a KH2 collection of icons, so I only have a few new things D:

My LOTR poster, originally A4 size, resized. I got lazy, but here;

I'm working on a KH2 collection of icons, so I only have a few new things D:

I like this one a lot, but I think it would be a lot better if it was 100x100, it sorta looks a little squished. It's very nice though, simple and funny

My LOTR poster, originally A4 size, resized. I got lazy, but here;

http://i44.tinypic.com/28gqzdi.png

Too big to post.

I like it, but I think the LOTR Logo should be at the top, and the Arwen photo stands out a little bit too much. Very nice though

Veeery old Found them in my old sigs folder.

I like the second one better, as I had to squint to see what was going on in the first one, and the text is much much better in the second one. Nicely blended too ^^

Keep up the good work, B!

 

[Big Casino]

I agree completely with Mark, it would look sooooo much better if it was 100 square. Otherwise though, well done

Its rather hard to see whats going on in them, theyre way to bright and i think the renders are too small for the sig tbh
Try and keep the text smaller aswell its quite distracting and it doesnt look so presentable when its covering most of the sig.
I like the scanlines but i think theyr too noticible, id suggest lowering the opacity on them a bit.
Keep at it. =D

 

[Dolores Haze]

Phwoar, I need to get a LiveJournal @_@
Tbqh the 100x100 with transparency thing was just me trying it out, different styles and such
This might be my last update for a liittle while, sch stuff I finish a massive as hell LOTR poster and then get an essay dumped on me

Tifa was for Kira, the rest are for my own KH kick-y enjoyment. KH2 is so damn cute

<3 Love it. Specially when you send me it over MSN.

Love the colours in this one. Looks really sweet. Text didn't seem needed at all.

I really like how you placed the text in this one. The colours are easy on the eye and the image is nice. ^^

xD I think this is my favourite one out of the lot. Ponder. I dunno, to me it sounds like Sora and Rika are just up to no good. xD

Too friggin cute! I already told you on MSN. But I aw-ed in real life. <3

This one seems a little hectic... I prefer all the other ones over this one I think. You can clearly see the image, but I dunno... Maybe a simple border would keep it all in place? Can't quite put my finger on what it is that looks chaotic. :gasp

^ These four I can sum up all together. I pretty much like them, once again the first two seem hectic though, For some reason I find it hard to concentrate on the text. I really love the Roxas one. Roxas is mah favourite between him and Sora. xD the last one is just sweet. ^^

 

[Mitsuki]

This is pretty good considering it's kinda old. I like the light theme of colors, but I do think it would be better if the scanlines' opacity was reduced, and maybe even decrease the width so that they are not so far apart from each other. The text is cute, but the font size could use some work. I try not to have text that are too far away from each other. It tends to lose the viewer's focus from the main focal point. Other than that this is a good piece and it almost looks kinda glossy.


All your avatars are lovely! I especially love the 3rd one...nice focus there and the text 'flying through the sky' completes it. The Tifa one is also looking hot. Great stock placement and everything. That's what I've noticed about your avatars...you have a very creative style of placing your images, and that's good. I hope to see more from ya'!

 

[Daenerys]

Oooh, you're so good at making avatars! I love them. I think the best ones are ones without text / where there isn't a lot of text. For example, the Roxas one is great, but I'm not a huge fan of the text.

Keep up the good work though, Brit. You're really good at avatars ^^

 

[Dolores Haze]

Two tags for the RPG, one for me and one for Jess (.Rinoa). I despise working with renders, and I think Jess' turned out more smooth than mine.
Now, for icons 8D

I had a bit of a slump SHAME ON ME! Not a big fan of half of these

The transparency fail and the random sizes pissed me a little, but I'm STILL using these images in my sig

Out of all the prettiesness, what stood out for me most, was the Marlene Icon, it's so friggin drop dead gorgeous and simple, I absolutely love it!

I like yout little GFX, Comic, and Clan images. xD They're cute.

 

[The Illusive Man]

Ok pre warning this post might be a little lengthly but im going to try cover all work you've done here so bare with me ^^

1: I really like the text placement and stock placement of this avatar, and the glow writing does bring the text to the forefront of the piece, the white negative space on the edges does bring focus to the centrepiece.

2. Again I like the placement of the text and the text choice, I like how you have captured the "in-motion" style on the stock and kept focus on the main image, although i think the white border would have worked better than a black one (but that would be just being a nit-picker)

1: Very cute and I like the soft colours, although the negative space on the top left may be a little large, the border used frames it all nicely.

2: again, you really have a talent for text placement and the border frames the image nicely, the soft colours are enhancing and make this a solid avatar

3: I dont think you put your usual effort into this one, as reflected by the "hard to see" text the rest of the avatar is good however, the text being quite "eye straining" is its only falling point.

4: again, an excellent sig, a white border would fit this one perfectly.

5: I like this one its an excellent avatar, just pop a border to it and it'll be perfect

6: This one is probably the best of the lot, the colours you have used really do compliment the stock, and the avatar itself is extremely eye catching, very well done.

7: I like the lighting on this one and that you have once again, with all your work, kept the attention focused to the stock image, a white border would compliment it nicely.

8: I like the pale colours of this and the fact that the green eyes stand out in the image, the text placement is good but im not sure that the colour choice is as its somewhat hard to read parts of it.

I like this signature button set, its cartoony but maintains a "professionality" to it, I like the orange colouring used as well, it really works well together and makes for an excellent set overall!

Very well done and keep up the good work!

Those two avatars are my favourite, the first has a nice clean look to it and the photofilters? work really well. The second is also really good, again nice and clean, and the touch of colour works effectively. The render and background of your flows really well and the font is spot on, my only comment would be to raise the link images so they're all aline, but I'm just being fussy with that. Anyways, keep up the amazing work Brit.

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

Nice and simple one. It doesn't look like much has been done to it to be honest, but I really like the text you've added in there. Lovely font and positioning of the text.

Aww this one is just lovely. The colours are beautiful and the softness of it is very appealing. The simple one pixel border rounds it off nicely. =)

Love this image. Cuteness! And the positioning of text is once again perfect! I love the 'flying through the sky" line. XD

Lovely. Sharp and vibrant. The way I usually like my avatars. They stand out a lot more and considering they're only such tiny things, this helps them to be recognised. Lovely outer glow effect on the text.

Brilliant quality image I must say. =0 The colours are gorgeous and the image fits in so nicely within the space allowed. Lovely one pixel border again. Nice and simple but effective.

This one is a tad too dark to be honest. Can't really tell what's going on, which isn't a good thing for an avatar seeing as they're already quite small. A layer of Soft Light or Screen may help.

To be honest this two were a little too bright. Maybe tone done the opacity a little and add some softer tones of colour too it. This way the text will be more readable at the same time.

Nice work on this one. It stands out and the text is good, though I don't really like how you have two lines of text. It feels a little cluttered. Maybe try using a shorter quote and either putting it at the top or bottom. Not both.

Gorgeous! Love the colours! The text is gorgeous and I love that red glow behind it. Beautiful.

These two are rather cute. I love the background effects with the grid lines and the blending is well done. Lovely lighting and the fonts are chosen very well. The text is also placed very well. Though I feel the green version needs a tad more blending on the character.

Very cute. XD Love the soft feel of this one and the colours. The thicker border was a good choice. It feels more warm and cosy for some reason. XD

Love the softness again. I love how his eyes stand out and the pose of Sora was awesome to use in this avy. The simple line of text is effective but I think needs to be lit up a tad more with an outer glow maybe? Lovely border rounds it off nicely.

This one feels a tad too simple. I can see some sort of effects surrounding her but it's still hard to make out, as is the text. More emphasis on these will help it stand out more.

All that I can see done to this one is maybe a slight contrast in the lighting. Very simple. Some text and a border would liven this up in my opinion.

I like the image in this one. I feel that some tampering with the lighting and some added text to get the message across would help it more though.

Very cute and simple. I like the colour distortion in this one. It makes her bow stand out more. Though if you played with it more and made the bpw more dominant then any of the other colours in the image, it would stand out a lot more. =)

A tad too dark in my opinion. Very sharp and the contrast in lighting needs to be played around with a tad more. Some added text and a border would finish this off nicely in my opinion.

I love how Riku's eyes stand out more than anything else in this avy! It looks awesome! The text font is also well done and placed very well.

Very cute. I love the font you've used and the orange stroke around it. They're very cute icon links and stand out most definitely. Very simple, yet effective in a positive way.

Lovely work again B! =)

 

[Kei]

I like this one the best, I like the text and the bits in the background it's quite good, forgive me as I won't comment on the others that's gonna take a lot of time <_<

This one is good, clear colors and all, I just think you need to add a bit more to it, perhaps text?

 

[Dolores Haze]

Today we have some of B's first sigs with PS! And some random avatars she's made here and there

I love this. <3.. omnomnomnom.

Er. For the record, it's a JOKE av. I made it when talking to Jess to match my Sora & Kairi av (which I didn't make)

I sweaaar I'm not that obsessed

For Kira and I's MSNs xD

Testing out B&W.

I think that's it o_o;

Oh, and this MSN one I made for myself~

Comments are much loved! <33

 

[Kei]

I hated that render because it was big I mean his cape is like covering all of the sig, that's why I don't like it. about the sig it's kinda good, though you need to work on text a bit more because it doesn't feel right to me IMO, Also you need to blend him in, ever thought of using a 100px soft brush and put it a bit farther than the render and start clicking? <_< it would look better.

I like it, and I also like that color fill you made on the duplicate , text is good, just the blend in thing that needs work, great job.

As for the avatars they are really good, I have nothing to say about them

 

[Dolores Haze]

For the record I did try blending him in, it didn't seem to look right XP thankyou though~ I did want to work on the text but didn't want to screw it up DD:

Thanks for the C&C

 

[Misty]

You've got some real talent kiddo, the ones you posted last, the favourites out of them would be the Tifa and Aerith. Dey ish just so colourful :3

 

[Lebreau]

Bleh. Not to be mean, but I really dislike this >.> There's far too many characters, the colors don't match, and the same pose makes it look boring. Not a great graphic at all.

The blending isn't bad here, not at all. Is the amount of foggy stuff what you added, or was it there? I don't remember how foggy that part is >.> I kinda dislike the lowered opacity of the Lenne furthest to the left. I like this much better than the previous signature though.

Whoa. What is that? It's too zoomed in I can't tell what it is, but that is by far your best thing out of these three signatures. Do I see a Shuyin and Lenne on a light opacity?

I like the coloring on this a lot... if only it wasn't blurry! Blurry kinda fails, love. I'm not sure what you over-did there, but a bit of sharpening would do wonders. The colors are pretty though

I really like everything about this one. No complaints at all

This one looks kind of... unfinished, almost? I'm not sure maybe a border or a bit of text? I really like the cut though... not too sure about the coloring. I would probably add to it.

Yuffie xDDDDD That makes it win. but besides that, it looks kinda like you just cropped and said "meh, I'm done." That's not good, as it makes you look lazy or extremely unskilled. Coloring, coloring, coloring. Or text Text is gorgeous.

I like this slightly better with the coloring adjusted, but I really want to see TEXT! TEXT! TEXT! Text is always hard, so practice is needed for sure The blue makes it look nice, but I'd like to see you mess with selective coloring more. It does wonders... Also, it's a bit too blurry now with the coloring. Sharpen

oooh, nice blending. It really goes together well. There's a few tiny issues, but overall, it's really pretty. My minor issues are her hand on the left. It looks really weird against her arm, and the fingertips are blurry. The coloring not being even bothers me as well, but as you said it's just blending practice, that's okay.

Oh this icon is love. LOVE I TELL YOU! no text or anything is needed. It's gorgeous <3

This one is great too. I think your strengths really lie in icons... The colors are all soft and warm on this one. The text doesn't take away from the picture like it sometimes can either, and that is always hard to achieve. Total win with this one.

ooooooh. I love the text. It really looks good with it, quite clean and fitting for the image. The cut is good, and I'm sure your friend loved it

Again, very clean and nice cut, but I have one tiny nitpicky thing. I would have moved the text to the right, because she's looking to the right. But that's just my tiny "Jess is a text killer" thing. I like it otherwise >.>

Border! Borders make things pretty! The cut looks a bit awkward to me, but I really like the text. It's readable, and I'm a real fan of not using capital letters for things like that

Oh that's pretty! And I see Lulu in the background. I love that you didn't modify the coloring too much, but it looks like you at least changed it a bit. Although... for the picture on the left, it looks like you hid her hand behind the background of the picture on the right! Not good Again, the border makes it look much more finished <3

Oh wow, I really love the colors! They're very bright and eye catching, but they don't clash with each other. The text looks slightly pixelated to me, but that might be a Photoplus thingie. I don't know much about it.

oh wow. This is really gorgeous. Avatars are definitely your strong point. I love where you put the text too <3 I really like the cards there too... so pretty. Unless they're a part of the original image... hmm... I like it anyways

hmm... I really like the tinted look of this. I'd love to see the original picture though, since this is so gorgeous... The text is a little hard to read though... I'd go with a white or a black, I think... or maybe just a little lighter.

I love this one more. It has more color... depth? I think that's the word I'm looking for. The text is slightly easier to read too, it really helps a lot. Pretty 1px border too <3 I love borders so much.

oh, this is gorgeous! Best thing so far The text looks perfect where it is, and this is just a pretty icon overall. There is NOTHING I can think of to make it better. NOTHING I TELL YOU.

Very nice idea, but the transparency kinda puts me off. If it wasn't so rectangular, like if something was sticking out, I'd like it a lot more. I love the text though... even if I am a major coloring fan <3

Well... er.. I think your blending took a bit of a backwards turn here. A lot of it isn't blended in very well, especially the image of the girl in white... And the LotR logo doesn't look too great either... I would have looked for the text and made my own, I think >.< If the colors all matched more, I'd like it a lot more, I think. I'd like to see you reattempt this sometime <3

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I thought you shipped Kairi/Sora >.> After getting past that... ahem. The text kinda takes it over... too much. I like the choice of images and coloring, and the effects are bad either... are those separate images? I think they are, and if so, nice blending <3

A bit too bright, this time... but the text is much better. The lines would look better if they were lighter, or maybe not on Namine there... I like the little flower type leaf thingies too. They're cute <3 Also, the 'mission accomplished' text is almost hard to read this time. I'd do a little less text.

AHEMYOUTUBE. *cough* I mean... pretty icon! The bright white text puts me off a bit though, and Tifa looks a little blurry. Even with those two things, it's still gorgeous.

I really love the muted colors of this one. It's a little to bright on the skin for me, but it still looks absolutely brilliant. Her hair looks kinda purple-ish, it's pretty XD

ooooh, the text is just PERFECT. PERFECT I TELL YOU. The coloring is really pretty too, soft and gorgeous. Simple and clean, almost? *wink* RIKU <3

ponder XD What are we pondering? I really like that icon overall. It's very simple, but eye catching as well. Gorgeous, daaaahling. White borders own my soul The colors are so pretteh. COLORS! <3

Awwww... hugging XD I think you need to color them more Coloring is so much fun to do... I probably would have changed the cut a bit to give a bit of open space to add text. Text is love too. something along the lines of "*hug*" or something like that.

oooooh. I remember looking at this when it was your MSN picture and being like "pretty!" It's more than pretty though.. it's gorgeous. The colors aren't overdone, they're warm <3 I really like this a lot.

&

I'm doing these together because they're basically the same icon with different text. The text is super hard to read, and the icon is kinda too bright all over. I would have lowered the brightness some, and made the text darker.

Ooooh, I really like the text on this one. I could do without the 'all of them' text though. I love the text on the top <3 It looks kinda like it has a gradient overlay, almost. Blue <3

I think it looks a bit oversaturated this time... and I'd like to see more of Sora. Too much Kairi... zoom out and show them both The text is gorgeous though. You have such a great grasp on text.

I really love the colors on this, really pretty. It's smooth too, what are you talking about? >.> Also, text! <3 I love the background... PS brushes?

*huggles image* I lovers this. LOVERS IT! Blue <3 I love blue so much XD It's really pretty B, thanks so much. I don't like the text as much, but I don't want to complain about it I'm so glad you made it for me.

I really like the colors on this a lot. no text or anything is needed, it's perfect as is! <3 I'd actually like to know how you did that... >.>

The text is very fitting, and it seems to match his hair I like the cut a lot, and what I like the most is the green trees in the background XD Sora looks ready to fight for sure

I can barely read the text... I think it says save her, but it's too light to really tell. Other than that, very soft coloring, gorgeous.

ooooh. I love the cut on this one, but I would intensify the coloring. It's kinda bland, almost. The light blue-gray of the room doesn't go too well with Sora's red pants A border would really make it look more polished and finished.

I'd like some text on this Something like "Do you see me?" A border too! Border! *spazzes* Other than that, I really love the colors. The mirror side looks so.... depressing XD It's really dark, to contrast a bunch of your KH icons

Oh, I really like the colors! They really enhance the image a lot. I find myself not liking the cut as much, but the colors... *drools* Marlene's so cute So work on the cut while retaining the gorgeous coloring, k?

oooh, look, it's Riku! I love how the water is greenish, and the colors are so changed from the original image! *claps* Total win with this one, Brit! *cough Riku cough* oh, I like that the blues are intensified.

I love how there's almost no color, and then you see his eyes. His eyes are the focal point of the image for me, because the rest is so toned down. I love the position of the text, but I think it's a tad too bright. I don't know if lowering the brightness would lower readability though.

I really like the image you've used here, and it all looks really finished and pretty. Orange coloring <3 I would prefer all of the buttons to be the same size and lined up though.. it kinda bothers me this way. The coloring is just gorgeous though. Excellent job <3

Oh, it's Vinnie! VINNIE! I think his cape kind of over takes the rest of it, but that's okay. I like Vinnie's cape. The text is almost out of place looking to me, but not that bad... I like the font and all, it's just the slight glow behind it.

RIKU&B I wish you would have made the colors darker though... and the text is a little hard to read. Looking at the Sora/Kairi av, I'd say you matched it really well, nice job! *claps* The wing *giggles*

Purple! I kinda want that image of Tifa.. fanart, I assume? It's pretty. I really love the background, but there's that white dot... it looks really out of place The K on it is hard to see, but not that hard to see that you overlook it.

oooh, this is a pretty image too! I adore the colors, but I wish I could see more of the background I like the background a lot, you see. It's pretty, and I'm a fan of pretty.

I love how they're back to back, and the silhouettes look really good as well. The background fits the black and white images, and I really like the fact that it's black and white at all. Monochrome images always look more polished to me. The "share a destiny" text is good, only "share" is a bit hard to read... I'd work on that. Also, I think the border should be a tiny bit thicker... and for a cool effect, put a thick border on it and then put the main image of Sora and Kairi on the outside of the border. I love how that ends up looking.

oooh green! GREEN! Green is one of my favorite colors, along with blue. This avatar looks really soft and pretty, Brit. I love how the red and green mix and look so gorgeous. I just love it, that's all there is to say. It's simple and one of my favorite things.

AND DONE. PHEW... THAT TOOK SO LONG!
