barbieq25 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 First one is really great. The second one is a bit jaggy. Try running Feather and/or AA Assistant. Test is overbright on that one too but I like the movement & colour in that one. Hope to see more from you. Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.

barbieq25 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Oooops! Thanks MountNman. Serves me right for replying so late at night. TheHowler, yep just a typo. I always save as a .pdn with as many layers as possible preserved & then as a .png because it is lossless. Learning is all part of the fun & you have made a great start to your gallery.

barbieq25 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 WOW! I like this one! You can add it to your original post by clicking on the edit button or keep adding as you have done. Lately I do both so that people don't have to go to the first page all the time & those who want to take a walk through my gallery can do so without having to scroll through heaps of unrelated messages.

HELEN Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 There's one idea that caught my eye--the glowing bits. You really know how to make the image burst with so much energy!

barbieq25 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Again the red is a stand out against the dark. The minimal colour makes it very dramatic. I think you did a great job with this one even if it is very graphic for early morning Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.

TheHowler Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 Nice job on the last one ... I bet BarbieQ' spat her coffee over the monitor Have you tried a bit of drop shadsow behind the drop kicker ? BTW ... you need to trim it @ the bottom Aha I didn't even notice the gap at the bottom! And I'll try the drop shadow cheers Sorry BarbieQ, but it was mid day in England And sorry about your coffee Quote My Brick Wall Tutorial....|....My Gallery.......

TheHowler Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 better? I tried the drop shadow, but prefered it without. Thanks for the idea though! Quote My Brick Wall Tutorial....|....My Gallery....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbieq25 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Gee, I missed that edge Welshy. Goes t show how much I was drawn into the image. Drop Shadow would be one of my most often used plugins. When used judiciously, it can make an image pop off the background. As for the coffee - nah mate, she's safe. Never spill a drink :coffee: :coffee: Just made me swallow faster than was good for me.

mattz1996 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Whoa these are really cool:) I'm especially eager to find out how you made these backgrounds, if they are from scratch. If they are, tutorial possibly? Keep up the good work! And maybe try a signature or two too. ;D Quote Click my signature to register for the game my signature is based off of If you get to level 5, it helps me too!

I made all the backgrounds from scratch (the link one has got loads of c4d's though) and how which one would you like a tutorial for? (no promises I'll be able to do one) and I haven't really tried sigs except for my own, so I might try that out Edited August 3, 2011 by TheHowler Quote My Brick Wall Tutorial....|....My Gallery.......

HELEN Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Really cool! There's so much going on in a good way, of course. In the "Link" image I think that making the text more legible and maybe a darker color because it sort of blends in with the background. You want the text to pop.
