Overkill Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 A little bit about me and my work Well, first off, I'm quite a beginner, but that doesn't stop me from having my own gallery. I really fancy the arts of abstraction, modernism, retro, futurism and many others. I always like to try out new things and to see if I can handle something bigger and better. My work is signed with the name Silver since that's my real name - just to make sure I won't get burned for suspicion of plagiarism. The Showcase Since I'm still a simple nub, some of my work might resemble something you've seen in tutorials. Yes, I do follow tutorials for the sake of my well being. Abstract Art I'd say that 80% was done with brushes if not more. 100% PDN. 100% PDN. 100% PDN. Photo Manipulation 100% PDN, besides the stock. Signatures 100% PDN, besides one small brush. The text&background is 100% PDN, other parts are done with brushes. Interfaces, Buttons etc. 100% PDN. Miscellaneous 100% PDN. 100% PDN. Fractal Art Currently everything here is rendered with Chaoscope. I know, they look plain. Be reasonable since I'm a total beginner at making fractals. :oops: That's all for now. More will follow after I've regained motivation/come up with some new ideas - which ever comes first.

Overkill Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Love your glass buttons. And if that fantasy island is 100% PDN than you are god. The island is 100% PDN, but most of it was done with brushes. I'm currently trying to improve my skills with them. Thanks guys, I really didn't think I would get such positive criticism.

Overkill Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 New signature. It's my first signature in which I used brushes. The dimensions are 500x200, but the forum limit is 500x150 - I forgot. >_> Re-sized it to ***x150, but I don't think it looks good this way, maybe too blurry. Might redo it when I have more time.

007 Nab Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I know what you mean - I get the wrong size all of the time, (By accident). You have a really great gallery for being so new to PDN! Very good job overall! Quote "pyrochild, you're my favorite person ever. We should go snowboarding some time."~ 007 Nab. Ish. PDN Gallery | I Made a Deviant Art!

Overkill Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 Thanks, mate, I really appreciate the positive feedback as it boosts my moral and forces me to come up with more ideas to explore. Yeah, the sizing can be a real pain some times. And resizing (even when maintaining the ratio) can ruin the fun sometimes as it might ruin the picture when the picture is rich from effects.

007 Nab Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I know exactly what you mean. Did you see my old 'IMPACT' sig? I had it at 500x151 px, lol - and when I resized it it looked so blurry. So I ended up redoing the entire thing for 1 px. Quote "pyrochild, you're my favorite person ever. We should go snowboarding some time."~ 007 Nab. Ish. PDN Gallery | I Made a Deviant Art!
