Vade's Art Thread
- Thread starter Vade
- Start date
First Image:
-The EdgeGamers text is hard to read make it stand out more from the background and change the capital letters font.
- I do not like the background, it seems flat and as a result makes the whole banner flat.
Second Image:
- Vade text is too close to the cornor, give it a few pixels to breath.
- The text doesn't stand out much and the stroke is too close to a full black if not full black.
- try take the dirtier part from the right and add a little of it to the left side too. (not sure about the result though)
Third Image:
- Left side is really flat, the text could fill it in instead of hanging in a rather random spot.
- Either take some background like the one around the character (right) and put as holes in the left side or make some rather transparent left side background on the right side.
Fourth Image:
- The text is too fade and the Vade is hard to read because of the bright green colour in the background.
- I do not like the background, it doesn't fit the Counter-strike character.
- The red'ish background is rather flat.
Fifth Image:
- Top right part is really flat, the rest is great.
- maybe make a thin stroke around the charater (mostly around the head in the darkside, right) of blue to pull him out of the background.
EDIT: Missed one somehow, lulz

Wow Skell, that is very informative! Thank you! I will really look into fixing those. LOL I really really like how precise you are with art
I'm happy to hear that you are taking it in and fixing them, that is what counts :thumbup1:
I will take your advice and make changes to FUTURE projects. I'm to lazy to fix those
Doing all 4 of those took about a week together.
I agree with 90% of that
He is right. On some of my pictures, parts of my sigs are to "flat" and he is right about my text. I really need to get better with making the text...pop out, you know? He is right. Not gonna lie.
1st Page ones:
#1:
Focal is in a good position, however its Very flat and Monochrome. Lack a definitive flow. Text is hard to make out.
#2
Pretty much the same as #1. Also the Grain on the right is a bit distracting.
#3
This has HUGE potential to me. Excellent Focal placement + color choice. Work on defining the details and adding depth. A slight burn/dark gradient on the left will greatly help frame everything together and make this pop
#4
Only complaints is the typo and the right is a bit empty; Try to work in a similar effect that you have on the left. other than that :thumbsup:
2nd Page ones.
#5
Again, another with some good potential. Same as #3, work out details and bring out the depth.
#6
Pretty hard to tell whats going on I thinks I see some deadspace(?)
Lens flares are not the greatest form of lighting, to be honest. Monochrome is usually bad, unless its Black/white.
#7
stock+Blur+lens flare+adjustment layer or two. Not much happening at all.
Overall:
You're definitely improving in most areas. Still need to work on your typo though. Sometimes no typo is the best typo
Just keep practicing and trying new things.

Thank you for your insight. BTW, #7 really just took me what...15 minutes? I really just made that because I really like that band haha.
I love your signatures. Mainly because I got no idea how to make those.
Takes time man. I've been using photoshop for about a year and a half man. alll experience
Love all of it so far. The Halo/Assassins Creed sigs are fantastic.
Edit: Throw a bit of criticism on my sig if you wouldn't mind. I basically started using photoshop about a week ago and made it today. Yours puts it to shame haha

Work on the renders, To me it's wayyy to dark. Text is a little hard to see, i didn't see it at first. VERY good for just starting. I sucked when I first started, loll.
6.5/10
