  1. I just want to see different stuff. I'm the same with everyone, so don't take it personal. Yeah, I might make sigs mainly, but I try different styles all the time. These seam the same except maybe some changes in fx or lighting.

    All I'm saying is your work rocks, but I just want to see new stuff.. thats all. I like seeing different styles from everyone. :P

  2. As the previous comments said, depth of field is a cool concept, but removes a lot of detail.

    I've found some quality high-res textures at http://www.darknews.com/high-res-textures/.

    An easy way to make a simple seam in metal is to make a light grey 1px line with another dark grey 1px line fitting snug beside it. The order of the light and dark depends on where the light is supposed to be coming from (If the light is coming from the top then put the darker line at the top).

    Have a look at jake2k's sig to see how he did the seams.

    This might be some inspiration:

    I don't want to use already made textures....

    The main thing I need to work on is to keep it clean. Last night I was working on this one sig but then a blackout happened and I lost it. It was really good though, imo.

  3. It was a start, yes. I made a tech sig awhile back but it was just a mess around. The problem I have with them is that I can't get a good rounded-shaped object without A. it being to blurry or B. it being too unrealistic. I need help on how to get a good dirt texture without making the whole thing too dark. Oh and also, I need help on the "creases" in the metal. Where there are cracks, I don't understand how to do this. Should I use outline object? I think I might start over so that I can use your advice in a different piece.

    Can someone help me with getting a good metal texture which is 3d'ish but not being A. blurry.. or B. unrealistic.

    Thanks both of you for the feedback. I love tech stuff so I thought I'd have a go at it. I hope sometime to get up to Jake's level, but for now I'm a beginner. Oh and Jake, I don't take criticism roughly ever.. it just helps me improve.

  4. Okay I went back and looked at it and the reason I thought it was stretched is because its blurry. Try flattening it and then duplicating it and then sharpening and erasing everything except for the focal.

    It has a little depth, but will be improved a lot if you sharpen the focal like I said above and if you blur the background a little more.

  5. Woot! I'm a lacrosse player and I love your lacrosse drawing! I also love Le Festin! Your work is awesome, and clean, and very well colored. Many times I see drawings like this on other sites and the drawing is clean but the coloring is poorly done, but not for you!

    I will check back for updates constantly.
