Seeing as how the links are all but dead and everyone just using my old arts, I'll just put up some new links.

Each has some faults in it, so look carefully. Just pick two until I can find a rotator web site.

The "Proud to be a Paladin" thing was actually quite good, the whole clouds in front made it look more, uhh, cloudy? Well, still looked great. And the ebil one may have been the only good image with the old female sybiote, congrats.

Okay guys, just a brief example of what this should look like (Approved btw) I hope to see many applications! Good luck.

Atholyte Image:
I really like it, but it could really use some touch ups. There is a black shadow coming off of the dude's head, (?!) and you could prolly use some other effects. Generally, good.
Forest Of Chaos Image:
I really like this image, And I think it's really good. However, it looks like you took a screenshot, then pasted it into a background. Try using an effect on the image, mabye making it look drawn.

-Admin-
Winnie, I've already seen your work so I don't need to see your examples, however your image links aren't working...? Anyways, its no biggie and you're pretty good at CC. Approved!

Image 1
EDIT- very sorry, lost the image. It was the forest one with the green mage
Very nice, Im like the whole earthy feel. The huge purple eye on the wolf ruins it a little though, but that's probably my personal style. The wolf also looks a little blurred out, I don't know if you did that to cover up some minor pixilation issues u might have had when cutting it out. If its not intentional I get that issue all the time, just increase the resolution of the layer with the wolf. Other than that, I like the subtle lines and effects, it adds to the sig while not distracting from the mage. I really like how u have to look at it for a while to notice the monster's lurking at the edge of the image, very nice.

Image 2

When I look at this I think, "cute, but EVIL". The color scheme could do to be a little darker, it looks almost pink, not very ebil...XD. Very nice, the Armour matches the background very well, smart choice there. Not much to say here for some reason. Like the background it self , looks like it was made from scratch, I could stare at those patterns for hours..... And the eyes are very nice, I might have use them as the origin of light for a nice effect, but once again, just me. =P
:P

Approved, you have nice CC and good graphics. One thing I'm critical of however is that your image quality on the actual picture, the AQW players look like they where saved as low quality jpegs =x? Work on that. Anyways, Approved!

Give Constructive Criticism on the following images:


Image 1

While this generally has quite a nice layout, and the colors flow together nicely, it also swallows up the title itself "Crazy4Tennis".
Also, there seems to be a motto on the left, but it is barely readable, and likely incomplete. If one could mirror it, and complete the entire moto on the other side, perhaps change the central writing in a darker shade of blue, this could become one hell of a sig. I especially like those 3 faces in the background. It gives the signature an alien feature.

Image 2

Its a shame that I do not know the origin and purpose of this signature, and thus cannot really say whether or not it fits.
The overall color layout is again, quite excellent. Theres a small context between the yellow and reddish, which gets bigger and bigger towards the center. The writing at the bottom gives the entire signature a nice underlining. now *sighs* for the figure. This may be a piece of art. I personally dislike it, but thats just because its not my style. Its not bad, but I just have the feeling that it doesnt belong there. it might appeal to a lot of people but just not to me. It could be left that way, and it would certainly be ok. This is just a matter of personal choice.

You seem to have pretty clean spriting and good CC. The only thing I'd say you may want to add to your banners is a little more detail to the background- The black background looks nice and clean but using some PS brushes or patterns could really spice it up. Anyways, welcome to the gallery- Approved!

Give Constructive Criticism on the following images:
Image 1
This piece is really nice, as the background and text go very well together, giving the text an outline so the text can be seen, and the color white really stands up again the background. I like the cracks becasue it makes it look sort of old, like an old map or something.
Image 2
The depth is just amazing. The background sticks out and really reaches the render, and the text can stand up really well, considering it has no outline. I really like the effects in the background because they really match the render, and obviously the text does. (Also, I liek how Vamparagon put his name like that :P)


What, no "oath"?

Approved.
You seem to be good with CC and clean spriting, I like your lighting and color effects as well. Very nice recolors! The bubbly effect behind the sprites make it a little messy though.

Give Constructive Criticism on the following images:

Image 1
The Acolyte's hair and head area seemed to be a bit too smudged into the backround making it seem alittle odd. I quite liked the font that was used and made the banner look pretty neat.


Image 2
I love how the sun effect is working with the Pally to make him seem more 'good' and 'light' and stuff. xD. The text could have been moved over to the left side abit so you could see the full picture of the Pally, but it's no big problem.

Approved! Love your art, you're really good at drawing ^^ Good CC, too. Welcome to the gallery!

I really like the Blue and white theme Its overall good.The thing that bugs me a little Is the blurred parts of the character (it messes me up).

*Experience: I've practiced drawing and using online programs for a while, now. I have a good bit of experience with drawing, because I usually spend hours on one picture.

Give Constructive Criticism on the following images:
1.)
(The image was This )
I really love this--the colour schemes are nice and and almost everything is spot on (not to mention it's great quality, and great editing). Although I like the colour scheme, it's not really the same as Symbiote's colour. This is fine, though, because I still love it.

2.)
(The image was This )
This image is interesting, really, and I'm a fan of anstract things. However, I felt you could add a little bit more to it (just a little) and make something to go with the "Crazy4tennis" theme, because the picture, although good, doesn't completely relate to the theme.

Your sketch art is amazing and your editing is quite good too, if that top picture was a edit, it looks edited but could be colored. Sketching is a great thing to have here on the forums seeing as many people go to "digital" art, cept Rage, Winnie, X and Kao being the few.

~Admin~
Your pieces look great, very clean and good proportions. Approved.

[Aeonarial]

Ok, thank you. Does that mean that I will have to wait longer to get an approval? Bacause I have criticised peoples work already. It is not hard and If you could give me somethig to write on I will do it

[Pyronix]

Okay, I just checked with the host site vamp was using. The poor admin there had his site hacked and he had to take the rotation script he was using down or risk having his site destroyed. I'm not sure what you can do now, you should pm flaw and he might have vamp get a new rotation site, but that could take a while.

I'd love to give you the go, but I'm not really qualified to judge art, and I'm afraid I'd make the wrong decision and contradict the gallery mod's final decision. All I can tell you is to pm flaw and maybe he'll give you some new art to critique for now, or maybe I could give you some examples to grade, but you'd have to ask flaw. Sorry I couldn't help more, but this really isn't my privilege, and I don't want to upset my fellow mods.

[Aeonarial]

I would like to see some of your stuff and have flaw grade, because I do not see enough of your stuff.

[Charon]

The last few people who got approved only had to prove that they could CC fairly, since the pictures have been down for quite some time.

[Aeonarial]

Well I can definitely CC fairly. But they need to see that I can do it.

[Pyronix]

Okay, here's what well do. Delete you're other entry, and I'll put up two piece's her for you to give CC on. Then make a new entry based on those pieces instead. This way, I won't have to judge you and flaw can still see examples of you're CC. ON you're new entry, please judge these two pieces and give CC on them.

Just use the entry format and put these two images instead the example links that don't work.

Give Constructive Criticism on the following images:
Image 1This piece is well made, but there are a couple of things that could make it better. One of them is make the Text in the upper left hand corner more visible, because at some points the background is close to the same color as the text color. Next, in the main picture it is hard to tell the focus point of the piece because my eyes are drawn both to the head and the hand, so you need to make one of them more dominant. The main thing that I like about this piece is the blood spatters. I find it an amazing use of brush skills and you did not overdue it (I often overdue it =P) and I am really surprised about that.
Image 2 This piece is also another well crafted work of art, but the main problem that stands out to me is that it is a little bit too bright. if you can tone down the yellow, because, and I don't know if it originally looked like like that, some of the chain whip disappears within the bright gold background. Also I see the same problem here as I saw in the first piece with the no definite focal point. I do not know whether I should look at the face, fist, or your name, which is at the brightest point. But I love the text you used and the way the Character flows into the background because one of the main things I look for in a piece is how well it flows.

Well those were my criticisms. If you would like to see an example of my work PM me.

Here are two examples of my work:Example 1 Example 2(this was my first time attempting both and I hope that after photo shop tutorial from Flaw I will be able to do edits on my own, and make better sigs/banners

Well, first off I have to show some love, I love this game! Ok, Color is nice, A little overpowering for my tastes...
other then that there is some nice "shading" in the blood, I like how the red overlaps Alex at one point... This picture is a very good depiction of this game, violent and red...lots of it!

Ohhh, another great game PoP the two thrones, great game... I like this picture over the (Prototype) edit...I like the yellow, I like how his skin has blended with the yellow, the fact that the chain is faded the closer you get to the bottom.

Well, thats it for moi...

BTW Those are some class edits Pyro... :)

Hey, :D You seem to know how to draw fairly well (Charon lol x3) Good critiscism, could be more on those, but Approved!

Medium- i mostly use a pencil
Experiance- ive taken some classes but im mostly self taught


https://2img.net/h/i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm78/Pyronix15/Prototypetagedit2.png - very good, but its a lot of red, i would try to put some other colors that fit in the background, it would help the guy pop out more. I like how he fades into the background but around the hand and that portion of the arm it seems a little fuzzy...not sure if thats the right word...maybe a better way to put it is that its fading a little too much.


https://2img.net/h/i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm78/Pyronix15/Princetag2editcopy.png-the pic was really cool, but I think that some parts are a little too bright, like the word magic,the word could also be a little bigger. the guy looks great but the left arm is a little hard to see try to make that pop out more cause its kinda hard to see what its doing.Great art though :D
