Most of the IMs I get from other GFXers are mostly asking "Hey, rate ___ for me?" Well, if there really isn't any critique at an individual's topic (I know I don't get much), why not have a general one. I'll rate and criticize anything posted here, and hopefully others as well. I know I'll personally be asking for a lot, since critique is a great way of improving =) But everyone, please keep your criticism constructive, and don't post if you're not willing to have your pride cut down a little. I know I can be pretty critical, but it's nothing personal. Also, general GFX/art discussion/questions are encouraged! |

Hrm. I honestly don't like it as some of your past stuff, but besides that, I'd give it a 7.5-8/10. The font's alright, though I'm sure there's a better choice out there I can't think of one myself. Maybe try out different placements, unless you don't want it be a noticeable aspect, then it's fine. The blending's good (nice job with the unfocused Gundam), but I'm not a fan of the dull colors (maybe it's a bias), mostly the white-turned-sepia. It's a little messy, in my opinion, but not without talent. And that line on the right where the ripple effect just abruptly stops is a little strange. |

Already? XD 8.75/10. I think it's pretty gorgeous, but hm. To start, the shades of brown are very pretty, and with the render, it looks rather ghostly and aged. Blending doesn't really seem like an issue for you. The background is quite nice, but not particularly dynamic. Maybe a little too uniform all around. The ghostly afterimage is a nice touch, but it does make the entire thing rather heavy to the right. Perhaps lower the opacity a little so it's a little less prominent. The font is again, decent, but could be better. Particularly the "Valkyrie Profile 2," as it's kinda plain; I'd suggest trying out a serif font as well as changing the positioning (maybe if you haven't already, by making it a seperate layer for each word) and seeing how that works instead. |

I suck at number ratings. 1. Least favorite of the batch. It looks oversharpened. It's atmosphere is so-so. Overall, not bad, but not much else, in my opinion. 2. Pretty good, I like the colors a lot. If there's anything that's off, the tiny text seems a bit iffy. Mostly just how it overlaps the render, which is pretty busy in the armor-area anyways. 3. Probably my personal favorite. The colors are soft and nice, and it's set up well. If anything, again, I find it a little awkward how the really sharp text goes over the soft render. 4. Nice. Not fond of the border though. Stands out too much. I'm not terribly fond of undercontrasted stuff, but it looks pretty nice anyways. |

Could you critique this for me?![]() I made it for a friend of mine (there was a blue/green version, but he liked this one best), but...something bugs me about it, and I don't know what. |

Richie: omgz what a pretty girl!
I like this whole thing alot, simply because it has a very shiney look to it, and everbody loves shiny. I like how the color flows into the next in a rainbow-y thing. I'm not a fan of the text, because they contrast so much with one another. The top part of the text is also a bit hard to read.BM: Did you remove the original background, you. :[ I'm not a fan of that kind of thing, at all. XD; But, if you did, you managed to make him...flow into it well. He needs to be more shiney, though. He looks so dull! :[ The text needs work, because the glowy thing around it looks bad in contrast with the sharpness of the text. Anyway, On to some ones... |

I didn't remove the background, no, because my friend wanted to keep the background, and because it was easier to not remove. I brushed under it, and over it to hide the original graininess of the background, though. I tried making him shinier, but his face always looked so washed-out when I did. Maybe it was because of the orange color, because he doesn't look too bad in this one. As for text...meh, I've never been good with text. That's the area I'm trying to improve on. |
