Dont like the BW version, probably just me.
Agree with it being too busy, no strong focal point.

Text is teh horriblezz

The render used is nice. The background doesn't feel like it fits right, as the background shades are red, while the render focuses on yellow and a pinkish color. The endless black in the background takes away form having any possible depth. The colored version is better, imo.

Lighting is good on the render, though. The text is mediocre, but works I guess.

Wanted to focus on Depth

How good of you to focus on an aspect that you saw you were lacking in Josh.

by **Atlas** 25/1/2013, 8:56 pm

Nice job Josh Designs, I like it. I feel like there is sort of a haziness or light fog surrounding the entire piece...might just be my eyes though >.<
And text (I probably have no room to talk about text though Razz

) should add some dat stuff in there.

not all tags need text, in fact most pieces look better without it as text is a very difficult aspect to master, looks good josh would just say its a bit bright

The random cyan spots look hideous, aswell as the right corner, which has been re-colored on a cyan basis. The whole piece lacks composition and the text is barely readable, not to mention its screwed up placement. Render has nice shades, but you've just ruined those with not adding any obvious light source. Overall, looks very sloppy and chaotic - needs work.

Well if we are doing desktop backgrounds...

@ Aezure; It looks like a stock that you've blurred. I'm not really a big fan of it.

Well it may not be as abstracted from the stocks used as in a signature certainly but it definitely isn't simply a stock I've blurred. Tbh saying that it looks like a stock isn't overly useful to me, not least because I wouldn't necessarily consider that a bad thing.

Oh and I have a few personal annoyances with this which I haven't been able to fix, I want to know if its just me or if anyone else notices them also... so fire away...

Very random and low quality... I understand you wen't for abstractness? This looks pretty plain aswell then.

by **Aezure** 28/1/2013, 6:03 pm

Define "random"? If it's simply that you don't get what's going on therefore the elements look random, then nope it isn't random, just I've failed and made the theme too subtle.
Low quality, Ill agree with that. I wouldn't really want to use it on any screen larger than my laptop.

Thanks, oh any nope you haven't found whats annoying me yet.

Its a guy made of fire holding a dragon egg, obviously

Okay, let me go into further detail. It looks like a stock of an explosion that you've thrown layer after layer of blurry flares at. It hasn't been cleaned or enhanced, which coupled with the low quality caused by the blurriness, makes it pretty unappealing to look at. There's no contrast between light and dark. The only darkness I see is a faded brown which doesn't go with the shades of orange you've chosen. There's an attempt at depth, but that's also suffered because of the lack of contrast.

Have a half a cookie for being half right.

@Predator... If it looks a bit like an explosion then it looks sort of what I aimed for (emphasis on sort of Razz

) I'll have a look at the lighting in it tomorrow, I think it's too late to work on the quality now Sad

.

If anyone is interested, here's the inspiration, a half-finished artistic signature (sorry about the border and size, its an annoying side effect of google drive):

My version was infinitely cooler than what you could ever come up with aezure, better stick to my version for free internets

He never said that! False quote

by **cntr** 28/1/2013, 9:30 pm

well just a small suggestion aezure as I see what you were getting at, just make sure not to make a background to bright as no one wants to burn their eyes out by looking at a bright spot on the monitor all day

by **Josh Designs** 28/1/2013, 11:05 pm

Thanks Pred

I like it. It's unique. I think that you used a bit too much Topaz Clean, perhaps tone that down just a little. Additionally, the text seems a bit plain in my opinion–perhaps try to add some red and blue into it to try to symbolize Captain America's colors?

The effects on both sides look good, and the lighting looks pretty good, too. Nice piece.
