yo thats dope

glow around text is awkward tho and texture at the top right feels kinda weird compared to the rest

but everything else is pretty sik

[Catman25]

Idk if intentional, but some of the cracks can use some more erasing, like on the hair and arm. The differences in sharpness feels kinda weird, maybe everything softer like the chick.

 

Pretty silky shit though, cool use of cracks rather than plopping them on the skin

It would be very dope if it all blended well, but it doesn't.  It's almost as if you can tell what each layer is, and it all looks very forced and unnatural.  That in and of itself takes away from the composition and is very off-putting.  Plus, the bird doesn't seem to fit with the concept I'm seeing.  I feel as tho you were you trying to create this cracked world around the focal, almost as if she were breaking free into something a bit more, and then you have this bird which takes away from the focal completely.  My eyes are heavily drawn to the bird and even tho I know what the focal really is it's just so distracting.

 

Sorry man, in my opinion you could have done a lot better.

The reversed expectations of what should be sharpened and what shouldn't are really messing with me. You've got super sharp foreground and background, and suddenly soft text and soft midground. That said, it's interesting.

 

I quite the bird. It's ludicrously out-of-place, but there's something really charming about having it so brashly and plainly presented in the piece.

 

Concept's cool, minimalist: the reduction of elements really does well here, bringing it down to a few textures, and light fractal work. Execution just needs a bit of tidying up, and the others have talked about that.

Compositionally I'd agree that the girl is the focal, but conceptually it's the bird. 

 

I see what you're saying in general though, thanks for the cnc. You should start posting shit again, I need some competition bud.

Agreed, probably not great but it too interested me so I kept it that way.

 

It's amusing because I actually worked on this piece for like 3 hours, I think I just over-executed oddly enough. The end result looks so much more different to the piece I had 1.5 hours in. 

 

Thanks for the cnc though.

pretty trash, noncohesive bunch of random concepts that might be cool on their own but really dont work here

 

if you weren't the only shitter still producing i'd be disappointed

[·Toot]

How'd you do the bird? Could I see the psd/xcf if possible?

I swear I learn more by just looking at tags rather than looking at tutorials.

 

You've got this minimalist thing going on, and I dig it.
