My latest and best work. Please rate it and such.

To clear things up, it's looking up into the galaxy through transparent clouds.

And to clear things up again, thats not stock clouds

brushes and stock clouds = PHAIL.

I'm confused, is this some planet made of clouds, and somehow the clouds shaped into a tree?

It's nice, but not realistic in anyway.,

you're welcome. it's the best of the best.
if you can't handle critique, then don't post something that is bound to get it.

I actually thought it looked good. If your going to say that my art sucks, then tell me why it sucks, maybe even something that could help.

He said that using stock brushes is fail, no where in that does it say "Sucks" so your really getting a little out of hand.
I say you just take the critique he gave you and be quiet, because there's bound to be more.

It actually doesn't look so bad..

I think it looks really nice. Xiion does have a point though, and you should try to get out to maybe brushing the clouds yourself, and creating your own brushes.

Anyways, Plush, This is definably better then your other styles. The only problems are, to many focal points, and to much fo the same color. Try changing some colors, and make them all lead the eyes to one spot. Then you will have something alot better. But good job on your progress so far.

Looks good, whether you used those brushes or not.

Xiion, why should it matter if he uses it? If it looks good, then so be it. Its better to learn to make things for yourself, but your not a failure if you use stocks and all. Many people still use C4d's... You really didn't post how he should improve, or how to learn. You just told him he failed because he did something, but you didn't point him in the right direction. Kind of defeats the purpose of constructing his skill your with criticism.

lol@scott.

I used stocks and c4ds in almost every signature I make.

The image is fine. The content is too hard to make out, but that can be resolved. The image itself is pleasant and has nice attraction about it. I would add some more vector shapes, but other than that I like it. The arrogant posts above me disturb me a bit. I like how modern day graphic designers are about being "elite" and get all pompous when they give advice. Stick to it Plush. This would be a nice LP. Oh, and I'd add a simple border.

Compared to the rest, this is almost an entire turn around. At least it doesn't look like someone punched an LCD Monitor and took a picture of it like the earlier pieces did. This is much better. I'd use a different Color Palette than the one you used. Add a bit more Depth and contrast. The Window Washer Fluid Blue on White isn't a good look. Use darker colors. Add a bit of atmosphere. Like when you look at the sky, Theres a Gradient that shows great depth.

Heres an Example from one of my favorite Desktops.

As you can see, the sky closer to the ground is lighter than that of the sky farthest from the ground. Even though your image is of looking straight up, you can incorporate the same effect by adding a light blue to Darker Blue gradient from the bottom up.

I used cloud brushes for the clouds.

no, he means with the defaults. like actually painting them. it gives the artist a better feel for how he wants his piece to turn out, and adds uniqueness.

I have no clue what this picture is. It has no depth. Looks uhm... yeah not that great.

Version 2 isn't that great Plushie. Now the colors are too dark. I recommend heeding Cuda's comment. It'll help bring out more depth in V1; which is what it lacks the most. I personally say you should stick to perfecting v1. I like it.

Xiion · Post by **Xiion** » Mon Dec 17, 2007 3:28 pm

i like v. 2 more, try adding colors, and some vector shapes to it.
