Lack of nicotine->getting pissed off->boredom->hyperactivity->GFX.

So I didn't smoke for too many hours and tried to focus on something to get my thoughts in order and made this. What do you think?

 

Well... Urm... Right... I guess it's... Ah... So-So? ... Needs more work? Blending?

*Leaves*

 

Blending? ...How could I make it blend?

 

EDIT

Take the outer glow off(meant the render, but read edit) and lower the opacity (on the swastika to make it look like a tattoo, see some tuts on that, or take it off completely to love jews ).

Edit the text too, it doesn't flow with it.

EDIT.

Well apparently it's a stock, not a black bg with a render slapped on it.

 

I'm lolling irl. What outer glow? And I'm having like 40 layers, which opacity?

 

Dupe it, smudge it etc and then mess with the layer settings.

 

...What do I need to blend and into what?

 

The render is crap quality that's a thing you should never use: an crap render.

 

I'm not using a render... Oh c'mon, I want someone, who knows what they're talking about, to post here.

 

Because I don't know what I'm talking bout right?

You used an crap image period it looked like an crap render with some c4d's pasted on it set to saturnate or saturnated it, the border is shit and you should never use it again text is ok.

Don't ever tell me I don't know what i'm talking about when I got 2+ more years experience in graphics then you do.

Sold dozens of copies of PSD's a year ago, was a respected graphics artist and an candidate for graphics mod.

In short can't handle CnC, gtfo : Render or not the quality is crap don't know if you fucked up in photoshop or it just came this way, you should never use a crap quality stock or render period.

 

Too bad you're talking to an ex-gfx mod here

 

To bad you're talking to someone who joined way before there even were gfx mods 0.0

 

..and? : ) I'm just saying that you're not the one to c/c on my sig if you can't tell the difference beetween a render and a stock image.

 

haa did it not originaly say i love ******* this much?

 

Buddy look closely, It looks like a render to me, black backgroundand just a little glow that could be done with gausian blur, it looks like a render to most people.

 

Yeah : D But I took it out to avoid permabannage.

 

lol no put it in i would have you e babys

 

Gaussian blur, yeah. But I tend to use other filters with lighten/screen/soft light to lighten up the image. Also I find gradient maps helpful. I also added some retangular gradient to give the light a direction. Yet I don't see how my stock image is crappy.

 

At first glance, it looks like a render applied to a black background, but upon closer inspection it is a stock image, as the glow is occuring due to the light above him not due to an outer glow filter. Both of you need to stop attacking one another, there is no need for the whole "I've done gfx for this long" etc. arguments, Phsynosis, just handle a bit of critisism.

Your stock image is bad quality, which in turn gives a shitty slate to start with, then on the top it just got worse.

I'll edit later.

 

Well both of you: I used distort on it. It gives it (to me) a nice fuzzy appearance : ). And yeah, I just pointed out the moddage argument =D.
