ooh pretty! the text could blend a little better on the left side though.. but i love the smudges and colours.. great job
love it, get rid of the stupid text and it's perfect. good choice of colours and i like the compo. great first.
Impressive? To a certain extent I suppose. I had to actually save it and zoom in on photoshop to actually appreciate it. The colors and the lighting are very convincing, the text isn't and that is your downfall. If you remove the text I have nothing to say but if you leave it in there it has an enormous potential to either make or break the piece. Your primary, complements and contrasts are so good that I find it bizarre that you managed to put white text on it with an opacity set to around 7% (please tell me I'm right) and deemed it 'good-enough' to ship out to forge hub for praise. This piece is tricky for me. I don't know what typeface you should use and whether or not it should be big or small or in between. What I do know is that the piece is very layered and the half-assed text destroys the layered feel and makes it feel like its supposed to be two-dimensional. Two-dimensional art isn't a bad thing, in fact I love it, but when your piece is confused between two and three-dimensions then it becomes a problem and a headache to look at. Too bad this is abstract. I could have easily seen this as a nebula concept. As always, IMO.
OK, no text, thanks :] sure, when i get on my PC i'll post 'em up. Great CnC, thanks nitrous. As for text, it's always been my downfall. I usually find that abstract signatures with no text look better, but i just through some in there for the hell of it. I'll remind myself to take more care with it next time . Thanks Knight! Yeah, i did go over the top with the sharpening . Thanks guys!
