Cyberwaste (56k Warning)

fireball · Jul 5, 2005, 04:46 PM

Well, my first piece of work (That i've posted) in quite some time. Again it was another boredom project and yes, it is bright. I'm not really sure if I like it...the colour especially and i feel it just lacks something, the render is also pretty messy but i tryed to get something that matched the song. The one thing that i'm happy with is the way the brushing turned out. Anyway, I suppose i posted it for you guys to help me. Tell me what to add, not to add etc.

So, feel free to comment away.

thanks,

i like the look itslef, but not the color. IMO, a dark blue would have been better.

I'm experimenting with colour as we speak, i'll post the results later.

Very chaotic and colourful, I like it, but yeah, a darker colour would be even better, nice work fireball.

Falstaff · Jul 5, 2005, 07:49 PM

My only beef is the typography (the font you used). Because this image tends to lean towards the high-tech/high-fi kind of feeling, I think you should have went with a pixel font which tends to be the trend in these sorts of images. The only other thing is the color but as you mentioned you were tweaking that, well that's sorted out. Overall, very good and I definitly like it! Good work!

Yea, i was actually thinking that there but i was messing about with text styles and the lasso tool and i thought it looked kinda cool. Suppose i could've done it with a pixel sorta font too but not as much as i did. Thanks for the comments too, will be posting a new updated version tomorrow sometime.

I like alot of things

. ATM my desktop at home is a drawing of a 1999 BMW M3

Imna change my desktop when i get home. I am very maticulous/picky when it comes to photos. I enjoy taking pix of anything, but my digi cam is a first generation camera and the quality isn't the best even at "high quality". So, I'm in need of a new one.

And since when am i CDsDontBurnstaff? Is that a new fad going on around here on DH since you got your name changed

?

It was pretty funny how Gemini got his named changed though

did you actually make the whole thing?

hmmm

fireball · Jul 6, 2005, 09:33 AM

Yes, i made it all from scratch. The render was done in Cinema 4D and the rest (Brushing, colour balancing etc.) was done in Photoshop.

Falstaff · Jul 6, 2005, 01:34 PM

Cinema 4d?
