My 3rd attempt at a wallpaper plz....say something positive

1 year 11 months ago

"I'm going to ignore the anger image since I'm sure you don't really want comments on that. Also, please don't get mad at people because they give you suggestions on improvement. That is why people post in Session Zero - for help. If you just want positive comments try submitting it. If its declined then it obviously needs work, which is what Session Zero is for. Take people's suggestions not with anger but appreciation, they are going out of their way to try and get your work to its best. Ok, here's what I think - the image could probably pass submission if you worked with the colors a bit. The yellow is way too overpowering. In photoshop, go to Image - Color Balance and adjust the color levels to something a little less intense. Hope this helps! Good luck with submission!"

Help with the first wallpaper

1 year 11 months ago

"This won't pass submission because of the nudity - just a warning. The borders are very distracting... from what I've learned, people use borders because they can't think of anything else. Be a little more creative in your efforts. I agree with what blu3angl and chibicrystal said, picture an environment Motoko would likely be in (like the experiment lab that this scene is from ;P) and work from there. Work on it until you're proud of your efforts. "

First Wall Paper, features Inuyasha

1 year 11 months ago

"Hmmm.. not a bad drawing. I think you did a fine job on Inu Yasha (though I thought his hair was white?) o_o The background needs some work, mainly the grass. I suggest you go back and work harder on the ground.. it looks like you have three layers, one dark green, one teal, and one normal green. Alter sizes of the grass and work with blurring to give the illusion of depth. Bigger ----> Smaller. Tree looks way too flat and smooth, try looking at the textures on a similar tree and mimick the texture. Finally, the black borders need to go, especially ones of this small size. As a desktop wallpaper, borders are very distracting. "

Help!

1 year 11 months ago

"Well, the guy's foot on the left side is cut off. The extraction needs a lot of work, as it is really jaggy and there are quite a few white edges showing. Also, since the characters are expanded in size they appear blurry.. you've got semi-blurry characters on top of a semi-blurry background, not a good combination. With what you've got, try working some effects in front of the characters to incorporate them into the wall a little better. Right now they're standing on nothing. Try creating a glass/reflection effect under their feet. "

Bleach Wallpaper

"Wow which version do you want me to comment on. @___@ I'll pick the newest one, 7. I think it would quite release-able if you removed the effects in front of Ichigo, or at least toned them down a bit. His pose suggests more of an attacking stance but the effects around him make it look like he's trying to power up or something.. try altering them a bit so it gives the illusion of movement. Blend them in with his outfit and remove a lot of the foreground elements. Right now my focus is leading to the powerup and not Ichigo himself. The other two characters, cloud/water element they are standing on, and the sword BG are just fine. The Bankai Fully Charged text should be moved a LITTLE to the left, not much at all, its overlapping the effects and for a cinematic wall such as this, that's slightly distracting.

By the way, its ok for a wall to have multiple focus points.. photographers use it all the time. I think if you blurred Hitsugaya's ice attack in parts, it would create the illusion of movement and not be so distracting. Don't just use the blur tool, though, you'll have to experiment a bit. My main beef is the effects around Ichigo, the rest is tolerable."

Gatts Wallpaper

"Red is such an overwhelming color, and using it in such a dark, overbearing tone as you did here just completely dominates the wall. Not in a good way. You'd be MUCH better taking off the red from the foreground scan.. its really quite distracting and I feel like I need to be squinting to see the wall in its entirety. I'd take away the foreground character altogether and work some typography and stock into the background image. Your main problem is how dark the wall is.. its way too overwhelming. "

"Well, this background is incredibly generic, please please please put a more creative foot forward. The top three lines of text are really distracting.. if you want to convey depth vary the size and blur intensity a bit more."

"I agree with elfe about the orange ball - its really out of place. You did a nice job with the sky and trees, though. Maybe a flying spaceship leaving a phazon trail in the night sky would help bring this all together. x)"

My 1st wallpaper

"You definitely need to finish the character vector.. it looks incomplete as is, and there is a big quality difference between him and the background. Just start from scratch and use the original image as a reference.. you'll learn a lot in the process and improve tremendously, I guarantee it. As for the BG, the bottom black bar has to go.. you probably placed it there since the original image was cut off, but its really distracting and certaintly out of place. You did do a nice job of portraying rage, though, I can definitely feel the ANGER. x)"

Simple ideas

2 years 4 weeks ago

"Composition is ok, but two images + a gradient + some text will not make submission. The extraction of the characters is pretty bad - you can see the jagged yellow outlines on Kenshin at the left clearly. My advice - place Kaoru and Kenshin at the right in an environment, and fade gradually to the large Kenshin image. You wanted to keep it elementary, I understand, but you can still create a simple wall using complex elements like patterns, soothing landscapes, or well-incorporated text."

Background Idea for Bleach paper?

vashfanatic

Oh, "Almighty Baka" I love useless comments like that! *sense my sarcasm* I know it isn't ready now, i was asking if anyone had any ideas to get me out of my slump...and since your ideas are so vague...why did you even bother posting?? "elements that would make the viewer think he is looking at a Bleach wall"... what is that supposed to mean?

I stated my reasons for being vague. It doesn't satisfy me just giving someone a step-by-step plan for them to build upon. You need to have an idea before going into the the creation process - if you don't, sit back for a while and try and find inspiration. You came HERE for inspiration, which I tried to give by stating you should place the characters in a Bleach-related environment. Perhaps their training grounds? I try and stray away from generic backgrounds, but for someone hopelessly lost it would be a good start. How about using some ancient Japanese paintings as a background? Perhaps you could find one incorporating mountains, a tiger, and wasp of some sort (heh, good luck.) The text is too large and the BG colors are extremely dull - in your next version, improve upon those aspects, at least.

To submit or not to submit XP

2 years 4 weeks ago

"Eh, its not TERRIBLE but it looks as if you just started with a FF7 image then slapped brushes on top of it. That won't pass submission. You need to try and be a bit more creative with your works - a brush frame just isn't going to cut it."

My wallpaper got rejected...how can i improve it so it dosn't?

2 years 4 weeks ago

"What the boggers is that orange lava-esque stuff surrounding the road? It looks terrible and is really distracting - that alone is probably why your wallpaper was rejected. Have you watched Ergo Proxy before? I suggest you do so, and model the environment based on the show. If you don't do that, at LEAST remove the lava (or whatever it is..) and replace it with something a bit more fitting."

Background Idea for Bleach paper?

2 years 4 weeks ago

"Scan + Gradient Background + Text = Submission Rejection. I'm not going to tell you what to do for a background, as I think that should be discovered in your own mind, but place in elements that would make the viewer think he is looking at a Bleach wall. Good luck, once you have an idea and a version two I'll further comment on what you've done. x)"

First Time Submitting to AP

"Not bad at all. You need to start working in bigger canvas sizes, however, or the public will flame you HARD. lol. The brushwork in this is well done, though the orange is a bit too vibrant. Place a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer over this and bring the saturation down a bit and I think the outcome will be much better. I like the incorporation of textual elements, though the "Will Face The Darkness" text is a bit distracting. Great start, it should pass submission no problem."

my third try at vector... whaddya think?

2 years 4 weeks ago

"First of all, let me thank you for providing tutorials for those interesting in vectoring - they're always a great help. You've done a great job with this vector, so my comments will be short. Right off the bat I notice two problems - first off, is varying line depth. I can see at the top that you varyed the outlines with the hair, but as I look down the outlines stay fairly consistent in terms of thickness. It would look better if you made some of the edges on the coat and gun a bit thicker to help portray depth to the viewer. You're almost there, it just needs a little more work. Another thing is her open eye - it looks rather blurry. Its pretty distracting and you probably didn't mean to do it. Fix that and you'll be set. =)"
