General Graphics Thread

[DirTek]

So I thought this would be a good thread for everyone who's good at gfx to post their creations and get comments and critics.

 

Ok, first we'll go over the rules :P

 

1: No double posting. If you have anything new to add to your post, do so using the Edit function!

 

2: If you can't handle criticism, then this topic is not for you.

 

3: Keep the criticism at a civilized level. Do not post just to say about someone's creation that "it sucks!". If you don't like it, bring arguments to sustain your opinion.

 

4: Do not post anything off-topic. Post only related to your/others creation/s.

 

5: Keep the resolution/s low, so it can fit the screen and not mess with the moderator's tools. If you want the members to see your work at the full resolution, post just a thumbnail or a link to your work.

 

6: Do not post creations that do not belong to you! Ripping is immoral and BAD! :P

 

7: Always specify if you used a tutorial. Do not take credits for something you couldn't have done alone.

 

(Rules will be updated if necesary)

 

 

Now to some of my works :D

 

 

Mouse:

 

Finished this last night. Didn't used any tutorial and everything is made from scratch. This was just an experiment as I'm still learning to use the Pen Tool :)

 

Ohhh...and I realise the cable it's on the wrong side of the mouse...but I'm too lazy to change it now :sweat:

Hey Dir Tek, nice idea creating this thread.

 

All of my GFX are located on another thread (same forum).

 

http://thenexusforums.com/index.php?showtopic=183408 (Need honest comment and criticism from those who are good with GFX)

 

I will pop by and upload some here once in a while. :)

 

Here's one of my latest work.

Looks nice indeed :D Good job Heyy_Adrian. But you should still work some more on text effects :)

 

 

Here's my latest one :). This one was made after a tutorial.

I've already use stroke and shadow, how do I further improve?

[DirTek]

Another one :)

Try duplicating your text layers, rasterizing them and play with gausian, radial or motion blur and smudge (when selecting smudge, press F5 and play with the settings there until you get the desired smudgin effect) and apply those to a secondary text layer (which I normally put under the initial text layer)

 

Cheers :thumbsup:

Alright, I'll see what I can do on my next few creations.

I've made another sig (it's raining outside), feel free to criticize.

 

Just so you know, I use gimp and Photoscape.

The background is a little too blur, could use some sharpening and brightness.

Another one of my latest creation.

*reports Heyy_Adrian!* :P

 

 

The sig is looking awesome! :D But as stated before...you should try and play more with the text. It cannot even be compared to the rest of the siggy :)

 

 

Keep up the great work!

 

 

Cheers :thumbsup:
