quick and nasty, kind of like.... ummm... road kill...
this died... again. :(
true story
It'll come to life in a week or so again
no disrespect to hoccalugee, but I'm still trying to figure out all of the aspects of that last design. it's about as incongruous as a 350x700 pixel image could get.
strange one indeed.
time for a restart perhaps?
well, due to the overwhelming (un)popularity of my last (un)volley(able), i hope it isn't against the rules to post again....wouldn't want to totally kill this battle on my first outing y'know, so here goes, hope this little ditty fairs better....
Good Job Hoccalugee! I like the hybrid cat you made with the 2 eyes. A big step up from your last volley. Keep em coming!
Yeah nice volley hoccalugee :)
I didn't even notice the larger eye until I was looking at it for a while, you blended it together really well. I like it.
hoccalugee, cool image. that first one, I wasn't trying to sound mean. It just... well, caught me way off-guard. Sorta like seeing a circus while sober.
It just doesn't seem right no matter how good the popcorn is.
or something ;)
Well, here's more popcorn fodder...
looking for critiques here.....I need it...thanks
EVP, nice volley... very nice transition as well.
I'll give ya' a critique if ya' want one. I have to say one thing in advance... I'm not being harsh, I'm not even a pro. I'm a rank hobbyist at best, and what I'd like to call a critique from me is merely me judging an image without seeking to damage your artistic soul, as more of how I'd appreciate my peers to say to me when I'd ask for a critique.
Simply put, I've started flame wars when I stated criticism trying to be constructive, and they would rather want blind praise.
Damn sad I gotta give a disclaimer before saying anything, eh!?

I did ask.....let fly, if there is anyone's opinion I respect it is yours. I am here to learn and if that means getting hammered, so be it.
Let fly captain.......
without further ado...
Going black and white... good choice. The quote, ok... obscure, but friggin' brilliant. But 1954?
Ok, now going black/white that means that you have to basically protect details from becoming lost due to saturation. That's not the case here. the lack of detail in the lace on the leg and the lack of shadows on her arms and face - they're there, but seems a bit saturated to me - just screams out something is not balanced in this image. It's flat.
The addition of the grunge and splatter is a good idea, but it's not carried out too well in a few places. Again, it looks more like it's "splashed" on top, not integrated into the image.
The type sets the mood, big time. Scary, very informal, but it's hard to read in a couple of places due to the layer mask brush work on the text layer. Using a smaller and more detailed brush on the text layer mask will produce a bit better results.
More coherent placement of the text would have made more of an impact, imho. But the scattered layout does make it seem to add more tension to the image.
All in all though, it's a good image, but it's just flat in a few places.
I agree....it is flat. I had it very detailed in color and it just didn't look right (to me). So I used the Dry Brush filter (if I remember right) and she lost all of that detail.
My big problem is depth. I have 12 layers in that image and still it is flat. One of those things I can't seem to grasp. If you have some ideas.....SHARE!!!
Thanks, this is why I am here, to learn and pick the brains of people like you.
This is pretty weak but I hit a wall. Time to stick a fork in it. Props to anyone who knows the song.

model: Jessie {Devious Elite}
ah nothing better than a woman with a sword...good job fearless
Nice work Fearless.....as usual. :mrpimp:
I didn't change the layout cos I'm lazy, and I liked it. Thought this subtle motif kind of fitted the model.
my attachment disappeared when I previewed! Anyway here 'tis...
