Kellys GFX attempts

I did, and Il try...

WHY WON'T IT WORK? :rage:

I'm SURE I did this on Lews tutorial with erasing shit...but I can't get it to work :ffs:

Right, I've done it, I was just having another blond moment, I took some off his face as well, he looked weird after I done hers so...

My God :gonk: How much do you improve in such a short space of time?

I love the fonts used and colours, obv. love the brushes, but don't make them appear too much >_>

Have your tried saving your works as PNGs?

Keep it up Kelly <3 :monster:

Oh yeah, that looks TONS better! Remember, if you need any tips just ask me. I'm pretty knowledgeable and can maneuver my way around Photoshop pretty decently, so just ask. Keep up the awesome work, Kellbell :D I can't wait to see more!
 
Been trying out the smudging thing this time, but my mouse (and quite possibly me too) is shite, just a random render I snaffled from google. C&C much appreciated

You have become too good too fast :vikki: This is awesome :awesome: The Text is kinda hard to see on the left due to the smudging,and the girl is blended in a little too much on the left, but other than that, this is epic win :)
 
Thanks xD

I'm trying out different things as I make new stuff, I only just learnt how to do the smudging thing before, so as usual I got carried away, I didnt smudge her that much initially, but then I kinda decided to get carried away 8F

I'm not fond of text, this is something I really need to work on, I can never find a decent text, never know where to put it and , well, it's just a pain in the arse, woe is me, I like quotes too :sad3:
 
*cough*Doublepost*cough*

Stock images again, bar the logo, I have zero luck with renders, but it was a great excuse to have another play with the eraser and a teensy bit of blurring :mokken: I forgot to save it as well, so I can't edit it to get the text off her face :ffs:

Very nice work on this one!

I love the pink for starters!

The pretty hearts and sparkles throughout are gorgeous and I like that you kept them to the left.

The couple are clearly the focal but I think that it would be better if you moved them over into the middle a bit more so that they don't look too squished to the side.

Very cute fonts used for the text and the placement is good near the couple.

Nice lighting too.

You've done a great job on this!

This one looks cool.

I like all the randomtext in the background but the bit over her face should be erased. XD But I know you said that you didn't save the file so it can't be helped.

It's not that noticeable though. =)

You've blended her into the background well and the colours are appealing.

Did you do the text yourself? If so good choice of font (Buffy font which is suitable) and I'm not too sure on the placement.

It looks good where the text is but at the same time I think it should be closer to the focal. Maybe try moving her into the centre more.

Focals tend to look better when not to close to the sides. =)

Keep up the great work!

You really are getting better and better Kel, great job! I'm lovin' the pink one and the Buffy one, I can't wait to see more! If you have a DeviantArt account you can download some really awesome brushes for Photoshop too so you can practice more and have more variety to work with.
 
I'm really irritated that I didn't save that Buffy one now so I could erase that bloody text, it keeps looking at me. I didn't notice it til I posted it ands I was like, ah fuck *goes to edit* FFFFFFFFFF :rage: The Buffy text thing was just a render I found, I was quite impressed at my luck finding it actually xD The text in the background is one of my favourite quotes, but it's a long one, so I just stuffed it in the background and repeated it, I found a way to get my super long quotes in Lewis!!!

I just wish I'd saved the bastard file in the right bastard place so I could get back at it =[

Shoved them over abit, and had to blur/delete shit becase there was like another image of them underneath hahaha, i dont have a fucking clue what Im doing half the time 8F

Thanks for the comments, I'l have to stop sticking my images so far over, Im getting bad habits already :wacky:

Edit* Ive snaffled loads of brushes off Deviant art already :wacky:

Edit* This one can fuck off, it was going wrong pretty much straight away and the more I tried to make it look not wrong the worse I made it, and now it's all one big confusing mess of layers so I gave up on it and it can fuck off :mokken:

I'm just starting to draw complete blanks now :rage: I can't even begin to start to know what to do with text on this one, so I gave up, it all just looks shite. i tried downloading some, but it was having non of of it when I tried adding them :dry: Im not very good with the blurry/delety stuff, but I'l get the hang of it eventually...along with a better mouse

Damn girl! You're just spiittin these out right and left! :lew: I LOVE the Squall and Rinoa one! Keep up the awesome work! :awesome:
 
When it comes to text and image placement, the Rule of Thirds really helps. I found a tutorial that uses it to help improve text, though you have to be a member of the site to see it.

Basically, you draw 3 vertical, even lines on the canvas, and 2 even horizontal lines on the canvas. There should be 9 squares. On the points of each square (where one meets another), you should place your stock/render/etc, and add the text closely to it on another point.

...I really hope that wasn't too confusing, honestly. I'm really tired today. :gasp:
 
Im gunna get onto some tuts for defo either tomorrow or Monday coz Im busy all wekend, I'm just fiddling withthe same shit over and over now, so I'l leave it til I've gone through every tutorial Ican find :rage: I'l have to look up to see what youmean Kylie 8F

I was just pissing about with this one :wacky:

Oh, now that's just cute. 8F

Is that your cat? or a stock?

anyway, I'm not gonna get to critical, since you were just messing around, and plus, I do not feel like it. I'm drained. :gonk:

Really nice to see you doing GFX, though! :awesome:
 
Just some random cat I found on google haha, I might do one of velcro if i can get her at an easy to erase shit angle xD

WHY I can't find decent renders is beyond me, well, Ive found loads, but not a single one of theshit I want, the only render Ive used today is the Buffy logo. Im sick of erasing shit

I SWEAR I'l get round to some tutorials ¬¬

Edit, Im sure it wasnt that big.....


and that thing in the top corner had to be there because for some reason there was a big black mark that I couldnt get rid of, or cover sucessfully ¬_¬ I can only imagine it was either part of the original image or Ive fucked up somewhere. I quite like the left side, right up to the middle, then I think it looks shit xD
 
Wow hun, you are throwing these out pretty damn quick :) Love the Matt Bellamy one :D You are doing sooooooooooooooooooo well hun, keep it going!!!

My personal favorite from you so far. :tehe:

I can see that you have lots of creativity. I like the sort of washed out, retro colors and the continuous text. The lighting is definitely fantastic and you're progressing at such a quick state because you're already incorporating it in your tags. :rage: Maybe a little more work on making the subject stand out. Other than that, it's all very good.

A good start at smudging. I have a feeling you're going to become a great GFXer in a few months time. You're already familiar with the techniques and the styles you can use. Keep 'em coming, Kelly. <3
