clever use of the plate. the only thing i dont like is the font
I think the font works well... it sort of goes with that medieval rpg theme. I agree that you used the mirror creatively. I love the mysterious person in the background of the mirrored image. To be critical, the masking of the mirror edge looks a little fudged, as does the apple. Nice color palette man. :thumbsup:

Sorry the image isn't great but I just wanted to get involved because it has been way too long since I've played a volley.
Crits are welcomed! (no point saying it's a bit blank because I know that already, suggested things I could have done would be appreciated though!)
nice. i kind of like the blankness.
what was your prev element?
lips - hence the lip service text
I'm quite please you hadn't noticed them, I had to edit them quite a bit (colour, warp and blur) and wasn't sure how well they had actually blended. I needed someone elses fresh eyes on it!
heh, indeed. un-noticed elements are sometimes the best kind.
was just checking out all the smooth images and thought I'd give it a shot.

Jaysun...first off, good idea for an image, I always love black and whites with a dash of color somewhere...but that's about all the good I'm going to say. I don't like the theme at all. Seeing mutliple images in one picuture always makes me think that the artist is very lazy (like the cows, and the old woman) at least change the hue, colors, shades, sizes of them to make them look unique. Also blend things more, the border is really scratchy for how blurred the image is. (which usually means you took a smaller image and stretched it). And (sorry if this seems like I'm laying it down hard, but I'm a hard critic) get your porportions right, the window on the house dosen't seem straight with the house. Also where's the element from mandiss's image? And finally, use common sense...really, its the most important thing you can do. The cows...there like spatted on there as a last resort, the color is way off on them, the same old ugly lady popping up again to the right...in the middle of nowhere...and use levels and curves more, it's so BLAH. Sorry if these comments seem really mean, but I think it needed to be said.
Jujumon...good job, nice clean image, I think the colors match really well, the fonts not my favorite, and it would be neat to see the sky form (like feathering it) into a house with the old gramma at the window, but you did good with the pure blue sky on how you pushed the window back with the shadows on the borders. All in all, loved the image, loved the idea.

hehe nice image nionicle :)
i like it when people really work off the previous image like this :thumbsup:
would have been nice if you'd blended the hand a bit better with the image- maybe made it looking as if it was coming out of the clouds..... but maybe that's not hte look you were going for?!
still, cool image dude.
:thumbsup: awesome image...its those works that make me cry, love the colors...beautiful, the stars coming out, wonderful, nice use of previous volley...this is what flashkits all about
thanks for the constructive rhyeen. seeing how it took me about 10 minutes to throw that together from pieces of random images available on my company's server I can see how the majority of your comments apply. It was definitely not in sync with my normal flow of creativity...more or less a pos. I believe it may be time to redeem myself....oh, and the cows...they went on first before anything else...lol.

Hmm...hmm...hmm...I like the nice levels (the color is really clean, bright) nice work with the hand disintegrating into the head...haven't really seen that before. Clean image but, I don't think you tried hard enough...not nearly enough (I'm mean, just learn to accept it). I hate the bubbles, ruins the picture all together, and since the picture has technically only three images in it, all three about the same size, and each contain its own color rules (one's full RBG color, one's black and white, and one's just one tint) it really creates an unappetizing scene for the eyes. I've noticed no effort on blending the hand correctly, it looks like its been singed on the edges with the burn tool, a big no-no of mine, and some kind of masking screw up on the upper wrists...hmm, don't even know what that is. The images don't flow together, heck they don't even overlap...and there's a pure black dull background. Come on guys, try harder...if you don't spend the time making the image, don't post it. We don't want to see it.
excuse me dude????... ill just hold my tounge tonight, and ill pm you later, all i have to say
I can't say I agree with you. Your post is more intimidating than motivating. "We don't want to see it" ?! What is that ish, I want to see everything everyone has to offer, regardless of whether or not their skills are as mastered as yours. Please, take a few steps off of your throne and try to contribute a little more than that. When it comes to giving constructive advice, try harder.Quote:
