ListKeepers Graphics work

[ListKeeper]

Just somewhere to show off my works as yes I have been getting back into my GFX very much and have some new works that I'm here to show you. I gladly accept feedback and I actually prefer negative feedback as it shows me where I've gone wrong and can improve.

Well then here's a first batch of images.

Some Random works:

3 of a Set I'm making:

Alright then that's my new work so far, any comments and feedback is welcome.

Nice to see you back working on GFX again. We can use another person for the GFX Clan. Also, I don't like to use the term 'negative' feedback. =/ Because it's really not negative. I think what you're looking for is constructive criticism. xD

These are pretty decent...but let's see what I can help you with.

First tag is good, but a bit messy. I think it's the way the colors are clashing against one another. I would use some Gaussian Blur for the background, and then maybe top it off with a few nice effects on top of that, and then see if you can blend in the gun a bit more. The positioning of the gun is a bit awkward to me, but you probably had a good reason for that.

Second tag - the text is different. I kinda like it. It has that flowy look to it. I think the background's pretty nice, but the effects a bit redundant, so perhaps adding a few more elements to it might give it a boost. Shana looks pretty hot in there, so maybe blending her a bit more will be nice. Use different techniques, such as C4Ds, textures, etc. Work with the gradiant map - I cannot stress enough how that makes a difference to your work.

Third tag - I kinda like the string of orbs actually, especially how it's used. Different and all that. The background is a bit messy though... and the color theme doesn't quite match the render. Try playing with the colors a bit and see if you can get better results with that.

Fourth tag is an improvement. I like the light theme to it and the swirl effect. It's clean and simple, and it's a very good start. You can seriously do some more amazing stuff to it though. Maybe add a few effects on him that would make it seem like he's blended in the BG. Just experiment with it.

Fifth is also good. It's busy and you can feel that wind element added which matches the render (since his hair is blowing and everything). So thats good - it shows that you're trying to match the elements here and come up with some sort of harmony from the render and BG. The text placement is a little awkward though.

Overall I see great potential in you. My big recommendation is your text: it's good but the font tends to get a little repetitive. I would also get rid of the glow surrounding it...sometimes simplicity is even better. Download some new fonts at dafont.com and see if you can interesting ones. Also, see if you can experiment with your layers. Sometimes moving layers around works for me, and then setting them to either Soft Light, Color Dodge, Overlay, etc. Filters work wonders too.

Wish to see more of your work!

Thanks for the comments and I'm taking it all to heart and thinking over it, I know that right now fonts and effect involving text is my week point and I am trying to improve on it greatly. I will post more as I do it lol.

Also the glowing orbs as your called them is simply random text letters done like this P O L W U W L KJ A PKJ JW L A WM then blurred so its no longer recognizable followed by making it glow brightly. I had the idea from seeing another image and wanted to repeat the effect. Anyway as you can see it turned out quiet well.

Mitsuki thanks for the Constructive Criticism.
