y does every1 use fleur de lis

 

I like this piece. Couple things that bother me are the lighting on the right hand side, and the blurring of the third x. Haven't decided whether that middle sprite works or not haha (assuming this is in fact a sprite tag).

A lot of work on this is needed, breh.

 

I'll start off by saying that you shouldn't force the depth. Always keep it consistent. With sprites it is easy to get good depth by adding small details and blurring them. Gradient circles always seem to work. But the approach is different. How you approach it is up to you but my advice is that it should always hit the foreground and background. Blur some gradiant circles in the background and make them smaller. Add gradient circles in the foreground after that. You could perhaps also blur them but if isn't necessary. This is just an example honestly. 

 

The background should always be the representative in sprite tags, just like the current tag in your signature space. What you ought to do is keep it the most interesting thing within the tag. Approach it differently with different kind of shapes. 

 

I also want to talk about the sprite usage. Don't throw them in there, let them have a purpose. Nearly every sprite comes with a progressive sprite so why not use them as if it is a whole movement. You can do this as a GIF or you could basically lower the opacity on each sprite until you reach the last one. Always keep it interesting. 

 

Crop out the left oriental shape, not needed honestly.
