The skull looks better now. But the bloody mess is a bit tรณ messy What about trying a lensblur (blurring the background a bit) or lowering the detail in the background.

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

icecee In reply to MysticEarth [2005-06-20 10:04:40 +0000 UTC]

done and done. i added a 15 radius hexagon lens blur (default). you're exceptionally good at noticing flaws/blemishes in artwork... thanks alot.. i'll keep that in mind next time i make a bloody messs like that ^^

MysticEarth In reply to icecee [2005-06-20 11:04:07 +0000 UTC]

It does look better, I think the right part is very cool! but still something is missing/not good in my opinion.. Perhaps the high contrasted wall on the back (with the purple color)? But that's just my humble opinion

icecee In reply to MysticEarth [2005-06-20 11:08:42 +0000 UTC]

SPOT ON!! you're sooo perceptive man. YEP, that needs to be changed to a orangy-yellow sort of colour.!!(to stick to the theme, and as u said, contrasts) I seriously can't thank u enough for all the errors u pointed out.

Yeaaaa, i agree, i tried to depict them to the best of my capabilities!!ye, i try to do everything like a pro does it works sometimes, on other times doesnt work. Lol, how about now?? Aerith made me do this... just make sure you're not eating anything while u view this new version...

It's the sort of thing you could ahve up in a hospital... Or maybe not actually xD

I love the red light feel you added. It looks as though the graves are smeared with blood =3

MysticEarth [2005-06-20 08:03:37 +0000 UTC]

Nice setting here. Didn't know if it said before in the comments, because I didnt have the time to read them but i think the skull should be darkened a bit more. The fog looks quite convincing! Nice work

icecee In reply to MysticEarth [2005-06-20 08:11:56 +0000 UTC]

Oh very true!!! I was wondering why the skull didnt fit in somehow.. very thanks for pointing that out!!

I like how it looks and you can definitely write a poem with this. Scary one that will be. Or sad. Or depressing. Well, all kind. hehe
But the black figures in it, they are too strong. It's like you pasted it in front of the image, you know?
Maybe you could make them a bit softer? Tone the color down? More transparent?

icecee In reply to Eyes-S [2005-06-19 10:02:30 +0000 UTC]

hay eyes-s! mmm i write a poem on the kids who dared to challenge the evil within this scene ^^
im aware of it looks flat because there is no lightsource on them T.T i wanted them to look really ghost-like. hmm i suppose i can define them better, but hehe, i have to add some motion blur to make them look like they're moving like ghosts ^^ thannnnnnnnnx ill do that

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

Eyes-S In reply to icecee [2005-06-19 10:04:46 +0000 UTC]

Yes, motion blur. Very good idea. And lightsource. Also something I thought about. But anyway. The evil in this scene... Yeah, can definitely write about that. hehe

well, i'm learning from experimenting so i need all the suggestions and critiques i can get n_n
i actually don't care much about the work i produce, because it's just for fun and something to add to portfolio. i care mostly about the experience i gain,,,, so i would love any suggestion i can get my crazy mind on!!

Astarsia In reply to icecee [2005-06-20 09:40:44 +0000 UTC]

icecee In reply to Astarsia [2005-06-20 10:09:13 +0000 UTC]

my dad on the outside couldn't give a rats ass on my artwork.. but on the inside he probably does n_n
ye, of course i will go to uni or TAFE. i'd say it very much depends on what UAI i get for my final HSC test. i'd say if i get a crap mark like 60 UAI i definitely would go to TAFE... but if get over 80, definitely Uni ^^

Astarsia In reply to icecee [2005-06-20 11:23:48 +0000 UTC]

sorry i didnt realise you were aussie.
i said "college" coz alot of overseas tafes/uni's call them that.
what is the recommended score for the course you're thinking of doing with your hsc?

huhh,, u didnt know i lived in aus?! judging by my devID , don't tell me u thought i lived in china? LoL
Hmm.. TT ..
got no clue~~~ about what recommended mark. i regard study as if im playing a game. if i'm lucky i get the better side of the coin and get to uni, if i'm not, Tafe. LOL that's my philosophy of school

Ooh! Cool! You want ideas? Hmmm how about....

Blood dripping from the walls? A more rustic and ancient effect on the doors and the walls are in ruin with vines creeping up some places?

Hmmm, I'm gettting carried away, sorry!
