. Rey - GSD Wall
1 Page: [ 1 ]
This is one that I've been working on for a while now. I was kind of going for more of a sunset feel, but with more of a retro pop look. I'm not really sure about it, and wanted to see what people thought. I'm especially not sure about the text. I'm really bad with text. All suggestions welcome ^_^
Bring it!
Bring it!
The text is too rough anad jagged for the look you were trying to achieve. Try something blocky or printed, not cursive. You could also apply a gradient across the text, like pink to yellow - like the gradient in th earrows. The four pattern stamps you used don't seem fit the rest of the wall, nor do the dots around the character. They look a little... random ^_^.
But other than that, the bottom part looks okay, and the extraction doesn't seem bad at all.
Good luck, I hope I helped...

Well maybe you can erase the white lining around Rey, and also the bg is so empty, maybe you can try to make it more colorful (you can use gradient tool). And also I don't really like the font. It's looks rough.
I hope it's help you ^^ Good Luck :D

Alright, took some suggestions and made a v2. ^_^ I don't know if I want to add a gradient to the bg or not. I kinda like the plain look, but then again, I'm not the viewer. Let me know if anything on this one looks hideous.
Thanks for the comments!

Wow, id say its pretty nice = ) I like the theme going on = ). Onlything I can complain about is the layout position of the text. It needs to be pushed up and to the left a bit. otherwise GJ and GL

Like this? Or is that too far?

It looks like you used alot of downloaded photoshop brushes and or designs, because alot of them are uneven (like the scan lines, i suggest creating 1 layer and use a pattern fill to fill the section with scan likes)
Plus i think you used too many of the same object in an area (which makes it look unorganized and sloppy), I suggest spreading it out more evenly.
But that's only my opinion of it...
EDIT: Plus the scan (stock image) needs some cleaning (see tutorials on scan cleaning)

I was kind of going for the brush whore/textured look. But I didn't want it to be too gawdy, so I smashed them together. Made some slight adjustments and took the great advice of going to the tutorials. (Why I didn't do that earlier is beyond me.) Found a great one to clean up the scan quickly. *\(^o^)/* Now I think the image looks better.

EDIT: v5 to cut some clutter

Hmmm, I'm not too sure I like the outline around Rey (personal preference) but it's a big improvement over the first version. As for the scan lines/diagonal lines, I would suggest changing their blend mode to soft light or overlay or at least adjusting their opacity so they wouldn't be so starkly black. As they are now, they look rather jagged. Just try it out and see if you'll like it.
Also, try to adjust the gradient on the text to match the layout. Right now it's more orange -> red than yellow-> pink. And his elbow looks...er...deformed! I'm assuming the scan cut off there? Try vectoring or painting an extension to his elbow.

Maan...this wall is veeery goood (i think the BG rocks!!and the posture of rey too)o__o how do you do that BG?? have some tutorial ??
Thanks for all the help! ^_^
Okay! Fixed his elbow a bit. Cause, yeah... I forgot to do that in the begining. ^^; I changed the gradient on the text to match better. But I have no clue how to vector. Everything I tried with the lines just makes it look worse. That pen tool just confuses me and makes it look like crap too.
Its all just trial and error really. A ton of fun, funky brushes, & textures and a ton of different layers, that way, if you end up not liking something down the road, you can just turn it off.
v6
EDIT: v7 (cleaned lines to best of my ability)
