m0rbidang3l's free critique thread

[m0rbidang3l]

Have art that you want an artist's opinion on?
Post it here. I'll give you my honest opinion on it, and ways to make it better.
I have been doing art all my life, and was in Art School for three and a half years, so I know what art is and I know how to give a real critique without flaming.

It's kind of boring and very simple.

f you have photoshop, take it in there and spruce it up a bit. Try duplicating it and applying a radial blur, and then set it to overlay.

they all need work on the composition. look up "the rule of thirds".
the colors in the backgrounds of the last 2 are over saturated and the main image gets lost in it. try changing the blending mode or lowering the opacity. or do some brushing with grunge brushes in black and white on a layer above it, and set the grunge layer to overlay or soft light.

couldn't you have just said, what do u think of my avatar?

but yeah, its not bad. i cant really make any suggestions, as i dont think any kind of real animation goes in avatars. but working within the space liimts and everything the animation isnt too bad. maybe have his arms flail a little more, when he reaches for the butterfly they remain completely straight.

well, the fractal bg is cool, although im not a big fan of them. but the text doesnt really work at all. the colors and the fonts both need to be changed, try messing with different fonts. go to http://www.dafont.com for fonts.

MORBID CRITQUE ME!!!!!!!!!

well the redner is not very good, if you did it by hand, feather the selection by .2 pixels, it will make the edge look more realistic. the background looks like a pile of vomit/fecal matter (not insultingly, but literally) also, it doesnt go very well with the render. those red lines are very distracting, and kind of annoying, get rid of them. study "the rule of thirds" look it up. you will surprised how much more interesting ur sigs will be follow if u follow this method. also, give the render something to make it pop out from the background, like a stroke or outer glow for instance.
