Tormented Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Roughly a 30 minute piece that I tested lighting with, I know the text is ugly but smeh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

вєgσттєη ιηѕαηιту Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 I like this a lot actually, I disagree that the text is ugly. I think it's quite suiting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormented Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Well thank you, glad someone didn't think it was too bad. I don't usually attempt text unless it involves text being the main part of the image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aix Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Yeah, I don't like the text, you probably should've had some box to put it in. Otherwise, it's quite nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormented Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Or no text at all, I kind of feel I ruined the atmo of this piece with it. Tempted to do a much larger version so it could be possibly be used as a wallpaper for someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tormented Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 I could possibly, not right now but maybe tomorrow or something. It would take a little while longer but I'm sure it'll be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Do you mind if I ask what the original stock, if any, was? It gives a better idea of what's been done. Feels perhaps oversharpened, but the overall effect is impressively hi-fi. I'd say smooth out that top-left corner, and maybe add a touch of noise to the top-right. Be subtle though. It's an aesthetically pleasing piece of art, and the decision to stick to a fairly limited colour scheme was intelligent. I would still suggest toning down the cyans just a little, or emphasising the shadows a little, so there's more contrast. Otherwise, what you have is a lot of murky midtones.On the text, I'd remove it entirely. There seems to be a bevel/emboss going on, which isn't massively attractive. It's not massively awful text, but the canvas size is a bit limiting and there's not really any space to put it that's both technically correct and not interfering with the crowded cityscape.

.Rai Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Yeah, I'd say adding a tad bit of noise would help with the feel. The wallpaper is generally quite smooth, but the smaller canvas and sharpening calls for more detail, rather than a super sleek feel. Seems that the noisey top left corner was part of the actual wallpaper. Without context, it looks weird. I'd still say blur it out, if possible. I think it's a good crop, and overall good piece of art. You could possibly even just take it in a slightly different direction of your choice so you have something a little more different from the stock.

Tormented Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Well thank you, if I get the time to create the wallpaper then I will but if I ever decide to recreate with this piece I'll defo take that on-board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
