[GALLERY] Saggy's Stuff

Iknow, yours does look better imo.

Stresses the "alter Ego" style of it.

Thanks.

Also, made some minor changes to it:

Just some minor changes. Changed the font in the boxes, fixed the gradient on the text (it was reversed) and rounded out the boxes. Does anyone think the boxes are too rounded or look awkward?

Also, if anyone wants a hi-res version (4 MB 3240x2175) then PM me.

The original was better because the back was balanced and had a better visual flow. Yours seems to suffer from a collage look.

Yeah, your right. I've moved some stuff around and now it has some balance, but I'm not quite sure what I can do with the "As the sun sets... A new adventure begins" text. Anyone have any ideas?

E: Also, any crit/comments on my other stuff?

E Again: How's this? I tried to balance out all the images, so I centered the glowing "rip" more so the two images are equal size. I also scaled down the boxes and made them fit better. I changed the arrangement of the "As the sun sets..." text, and added/changed some more logos to the bottom (Specifaclly the Hedgehog Engine logo and Dolby Digital)

The desert terrain looks nothing like a desert. It's lumpy, muddy looking piles are completely uncharacteristic of a desert. They don't pass for rock outcroppings or mountains either, so I'd say you need more of a windswept sand dune approach. The photoshop stuff is alright... mostly cliché. Keep trying though.

E: as for your text on the back cover, you need to avoid the unfortunate tangents, such as how "...a new" intersects with Sonic's eye and covers his whole arm, and how "begins" completely covers his lower jaw.

Yeah, but tbh, I cba to fix it seeing as I don't have the max file anymore. It was mostly just me trying out ways of creating terrain for practice more than anything. Maybe I can add some effects to it in Photoshop to make it look a little more pleasing.

Again, most of it was just practice/following some tutorials, but imo, I thought it was something to add to my dying thread. I'll keep trying though ;)

See edit in last post.

Looking much better. You should learn about "directing eye movement". If you're unable to find much, just ask me.

By "directing eye movement", do you mean something along the lines of creating a focal point, so the viewer's eyes are automatically brought to where the artist intend them to look?

It's more than that, but that's the basis (as it is with any art...)

Well, thanks to Snaf, I think this is the finished product:
