And you expect people to pay 19 €?! If you must insist on going shareware with this at least make it reasonably priced...

I would darken the sig more, overall, to make the background less "obvious". Nice c4dspamming there. Did you sharpen the render btw, or is that just the resizing that's making it look LQ?

Wow, some of the background looks incredible, especially on the left of the blue bob.

If you use alpha gradients ( :AlphaChannel: ) to focus it to a certain area (or if you erase around it) it'll look better.

Wow. That is great. One thing though, I think that the blue mist is too similar around the starfield. You could make it slightly bigger in some places, if that makes sense. OFFtopic I will finish that smudge tut, I promise... I had a Gandhi presentation I had to finish just last week, I have to keep a cultural journal (don't ask, I don't quite get it myself), I have to write another presentation on a Finnish author, I have 2 exams coming up...

Yup, it's Kratos from God of War.

yy10, have you downloaded Sharpen+? Search that, your sig could use a little sharpening.

The first one is really interesting. The blue one is definitely my favourite, though, I'm a sucker for symmetric artwork.

Thank you Yeah, I guess it is small. I was thinking of having 2 50*50 spots and one 100*50 plus an AdSense spot.

Thank you for the comment, yellowman, and sorry for the late reply. Here's a small adspace banner for my website in progress: It's not really great, I know. Would 50*50 be too small?

Very good, but I recommend making a "final version". Make all the stuff twice as big, then resize and Sharpen+ for excellent quality. Try to give the background and the bar on the bottom (with the buttons) a more steel-like look. I love the design.

Yup, but it seems you're sticking to the colour scheme too much - a little yellow won't hurt anyone. Nice design though. Oh, and PS runs smoothly on my 512 MB RAM.

I like them both. I'd crop it a little, though. Sehr gut, sehr gut. :wink:

:shock: I've always loved all your work, especially that watery blue signature. Keep up the splendid work

Make one thread, and edit the name for each contest.

That newest blue piece is beautiful. Has an icy feel to it. Keep it up. :wink:

All the other contest are doing it. :wink:

Hey you should add a screenshot of the plugin UI by the way.

Axle calm down...

Gradients. Eww. But the shape is good, maybe you can shade it when you've got time.

Actually, pyro released 3.5 compatible plugins, although they are beta. viewtopic.php?f=46&t=31950&start=0

Yeah. You should probably redo it at a smaller size, so that you can make it more round, Kirby is round like a sphere. My pixlart WIP, Pandora's Box: I'm quite proud of the shading I've done on the box, it looks rusty.

@LJXD: You could try duplicating the layer with your clone, changing the blend mode of the other layer to Lighten and to Darken on the other one.

Kitty is very cute, I'd love to have a small cuddly kitty like that.

My entry: Stocks used: Jack Skellington sprite I'm not quite sure if I should've included that fleur-de-lis in the top corner.
