Entry Deadline: May 12, 2014
FIRST PLACE: Stealth - 66.5/80
- Inhaps' critique - 35:
- Idea: 10/10
Technical: 9/10
Typography: 8/10
Execution: 8/10
- Kelly's critique - 31.5:
- Idea: 9/10
Technical: 7.5/10
Typography: 7/10
Execution: 8/10 – A wonderful piece, Stealth. So great to see you move out of using that similar font! The orbs around Volibear look great, I'd recommend maybe to bring out Volibear's personality some more add some subtle electricity (just a personal opinion)? The text is almost a little distracting, but nothing overly serious. Work on the sides of Voli some, as you have a few blurs there, but especially on the arm on the left side of the piece the motion blur looks off. Otherwise great piece, well done!
SECOND PLACE: DoYouPlay_RS - 64.5.5/80
- Inhaps' critique - 36:
- Idea: 9/10
Technical: 9/10 - The lights seem random, like next to the text where it does not fit in at all.
Typography: 9/10 - It has a stealthy vibe to it but perhaps a tad too stealthy.
Execution: 9/10
- Kelly's critique - 28.5:
- Idea: 9/10
Technical: 7/10
Typography: 6/10
Execution: 6.5/10 – Unique, I like it. The only thing I'd really recommend is tweaking your text a little as it doesn't quite fit the theme in my humble opinion, and try to make your focal point stand out a little since it's very hard to make him out from the rest of the piece as you blended him very well. The way I'd suggest to do this is to stroke a soft light gray brush around your focal point and play with the layer settings and opacity so he stands out just a little, it could appear as shadows; it should be very, very subtle.
THIRD PLACE: Heppernaut - 58.5/80
- Inhaps' critique - 32:
- Idea: 8/10
Technical: 9/10
Typography: 7/10
Execution: 8/10
This has fairly weak contrast, it's mostly stuck on a short range of midtones, leading it look a bit samey overall.
- Kelly's critique - 26.5:
- Idea: 9/10
Technical: 6.5/10
Typography: 5/10
Execution: 6/10 – The text is too big and took my attention away immediately from the rest of the piece. Your text should be close to your focal (doesn't have to be on top of it or anything, just close-ish) so it doesn't end up becoming a second focal point. Your piece overall is heavily saturated (a few gradient map adjustment layers could level that out some), specifically toward the upper-middle. Not a bad entry, though, keep it up
!
PUBLIC FAVOURITE: kid rampage5 - 49/80
- Inhaps' critique - 22:
- Idea: 8/10
Technical: 5/10
Typography: 4/10
Execution: 5/10
You need to learn how to better digitise your drawings without losing much quality. In and of itself, it is good and has decent flow but it also has bad contrast, the background obscuring a fair bit of detail.
- Kelly's critique - 27:
- Idea: 9/10
Technical: 6.5/10
Typography: 5/10
Execution: 6.5/10 – I understand your entry is a drawing, so it may be a little harder to grade at the same level of other entries, but maybe next time try to color it in some and add effects to it after you've put it on the computer? The text is very plain, but I do like that the littler of the two animals is where the text is, subtle but I noticed it xD. Not bad, glad to see you joined the comp and hope to see more entries from you in the future!
Leakee - 57.5/80
- Inhaps' critique - 28:
- Idea: 9/10
Technical: 6/10
Typography: 6/10
Execution: 7/10
Somewhat lacking in colour balance, the colours are not at all harmonic. The shift in brightness does not work that well with that fairly high saturation all around.
- Kelly's critique - 29.5:
- Idea: 10/10
Technical: 6/10
Typography: 7/10
Execution: 6.5/10 – I like your text, it's creative, but truthfully that's the very first thing my eyes saw, and it stands out so much from the rest of your piece. Your piece looks really messy in a way because of the saturation/over-sharpened marks. I gave you 10 instead of 9 for the idea because you are the only one to actually use an animal instead of a game/TV character modeled after an animal.

Entry:
Also: I still haven't received my winnings for the past 3 SOTW I believe, just wondering if something could be arranged? I'm in the IRC everyday, and sent Inhaps a PM last week I believe.
Just curious, Thanks!

That is really nice. It does need some text, though. That gives up to a fourth of the total points after all.
Also, you should use some image editor to at least increase the contrast and desaturate it to get rid of the green tinge and just make it crisper.

Are you really? Yesterday I checked and it said that last time you were there was 4 days ago. Anyway, I will see if I can arrange for the dicing managers to trade you.
