Wow, Alt, you had talent even at the start

 

[Kinaesthic]

Wow has really given me inspiration for this as I hope to get into it at some stage Also quick question how long have these changes taken you? and what programs do you use ?

Took me three/four years

 

Moonglare this thread is absolutely fantastic and inspirational man, nice idea. As jack said, stickied so this won't die.

Well, I'm always improving as is everyone else But, the changes posted took just about 6 months-ish xD Programs used = PS & C4D

Nice thread!

This is the oldest signature i could find, I was way worse than this when i first started xD

And these are few more recently, or at least some of my favorites.

And @Alteranz ... holy shit at your more recent ones man! ... what the hell ..they look amazing

@ alteranz your last one looks really good, shows a lot of improvement from the first one, and kovan I like the hot air balloon one

Nah, just keep practicing buddy. Nobody just opened PS/C4D and just became an instant good graphics artist.

Dedicate as much time as you can to it and eventually you will get there buddy

Now:

Oh, well. Something inside me never stop saying "stop using Gimp you dumb", but I never listen to it. I really do hope my skills improve more than this when I move to Photoshop.

I really admire the fact that you have your own unique style of graphics mate, really good improvements also!

I started to try this stuff but failed so I gave up.. but you all have really amazing talent! You should consider making a career out of this stuff!

 

Ok so my oldest "artwork"(lol) i got is from 2005. I didn't understand half of the photoshop features but I did manage to make this after hours & hours of messing around xD! I made a banner for the clan I used to be in back then.

Now: don't really have to show anything here :/.

Something very simple ^

 

Not bad mate I actually quite like it.

 

What an awesome thread. Great to see how people have developed!

All of the GFX I've seen of yours are really good. I hope I can get that good someday.

 

[Sandusk]

I don't get how you started that well.. amazing work.

 

I'm not brilliant, but the difference shows, haha.
