[GRAPHICS] mission .001

[vermillion]

Well, sadly, I'm not as big into graphics I used to be, by any standard. But I'm slowly regaining that whole thing as I begin to work on my sites again and make some icons for LiveJournal and the such. It's just taking me a bit of time. XD And not only that, but my graphics these days are so very plain; they just involve me playing with the coloring and sharpening the image. I love stuff crisp and clean.

But, let's show some work... older stuff to now. Except icons. Icons are all newer.

ICONS // TWILIGHT

ICONS // FINAL FANTASY X

ICONS // FINAL FANTASY VIII

that zidane tag is pretty dope. it would be better if he was blended with the bg.

 

[Casanova]

I like these especially. Your work is very nice, I love the way you implement text. A good mix of subtle effects that are very pleasing to the eye, nothing too drastic so I'm not put off or overwhelmed.

Your icons are crisp and clean indeed.

Very nice work overall, well done.

I'd fear to be up against you now in a GFX competition let along when you 'regain' your flare.

The avatars are great imho, I've always been one that's more a cleaner and plainer effect liker rather than avatars that have loads of effects since 100x100 it gets crowded easily but you did a great job. =]

And you sigs are just like...wow! To say they are amazing would be an understatement, the first 6 have some of the best colour schemes that I've seen in a long, long time and the effects are just unreal. With the last 2 they are also amazing the way they can seem so plain yet stand out so kudos to you for being to do that.
The text is amazing and even though I'm not one for larger borders you've pulled it off exceptionally.

Being as good as you are already, keep up the great work and you could easily become one of the best GFXers on this site if not the best.

Great collections there! I agree with everyone here, your work is amazing. =] I really like your style and how you manage to pull off the various colors. Usually too much color doesn't really appeal to me but you managed to change my mind.

I can't wait to see you reach your full potential and show us some more of your uber epic work! =O Excellente!

 

[vermillion]

Wow, thanks a bunch everyone! :3 I'm really glad that you guys like the work, even if it's not my greatest, lol. I'm working on a signature for the 56th Signature of the Week contest, so we'll see how that goes. ^^

Hello everyone. Sorry for the double post, but I've got something new. I'm not quite sure how I feel about it. D: I know I'll probably end up changing the text, that much I know. But, meh. What do you guys and gals think? :3

 

[Casanova]

I think it's awful tall, skinnier tags just look more pleasing to me. Other than that, it's pretty darn sweet. Good use of effects, great colour scheme. Everything ties up nicely and don't worry about changing the text so much, I think just taking 20% off of the master opacity should prove to be more than enough change. :cassy:

 

[Bambi]

I absolutelyt love ALL of your FFVIII ones.....they are gorgeous and I just want to steal them all and stroke them, they are so pretty D:

 

[Enrage The Sky]

Looks pretty good.

I got a question.

How do you get sigs to not have edges?
When i do a Siggy i have troubles with the hair and other finer details. is there something that i can do to help with that?

 

[vermillion]

@ casanova;

I don't like taller tags, either. XD But sometimes I make them bigger to go with the stock because I think making them too small makes them look awkward. But I definitely think that it looks better small... er. :3

@ bambi;
Thanks! I really like the FFVIII icons. They're some of my favorites, aside from the Yuna dance icons. :3 You can pet them and hold them and even use them if you wish.

@ prince narmy;
Thanks.
And with your question, do you mean with how the edges stand out? I use the filter Sharpen on most of my stock images because I love my images sharp. :3

 

[Mitsuki]

That tag is pretty unique and colorful. I like the concept and effects in the BG - she just blended right in quite perfectly. The text stood out a little too much though, but it's nothing major. Overall it's an amazing tag! Keep it up. =]

 

[Casanova]

Awesome, I mean, it looked great anyway. I just like skinnier tags like that. Good job.

 

[Setsuken]

Oooh I love the C.C one Amanda. It ROCKS. Not only does it have that awesome pic of C.C, but the colours and effects are really well blended and look VERY good with it

Does that really work?
Ill try it out, thanks for the help!

 

[Gingerbread Lesbian]

400x115 ftw! :cassy:
I don't think it really looks that tall tbh, I've seen MUCH bigger ones in the past.

Anyway, epic sig. The colours are stunning the stock is hawt and nicely crisp and clear and the font is also great. Amazing work.

Features the main character from Persona 3.
This one, I really really like. It didn't involve too much work, which I guess happens to me often; the sigs I put the least work into are the ones I like the most. XD This is also my SOTW 58 entry. :3

Features Orpheus from Persona 3.
I find that the Persona 3 artwork is very easy to work with. XD This one I also like. The colors for the past two sigs is what I think makes me like them the most, though.

This is just a remake of my SOTW entry. I like this version a lot better, actually, and intend to use it when SOTW is over. ​
