is it suppose to be the image of her is breaking and shining through \ her flesh? i guess its the image by the placement of the cracks in which case its pretty good. the coloured glow works well and is at good angles for light.

Nice job bud...... the eyes still own !

The image is nice, but I don't really like the font...

pr0digal jenius · Oct 12, 2005, 11:46 PM

and yes jufo, I was goign for the light breakign through her

...and the eyes, glad you liek em, cuz they were a BITCH(much hand painting in there)

what will it become?

Man, she is pretty. But I'm not too sure which direction you're heading in with this image so I'll let you explain and then post my criticism.

Nice work man, you'll soon discover the benefits of CS over the corel suite.
Only one thing about the manip, the cracks should be painted in pure white to make the green glow more realistic

to be honest, I'm not really sure, so fire away, please

and we'll see about makign the cracks white(r) too wertret. thanks guys!

Well for one, the cracks lack relief. Quick thing to try would be to duplicate them.
The copy should be solid black and placed under and 1px down (or up), 1px right from the original. You can tweak opacity and blur it slighty but that should give a basic depth.

Second off is the font, but that has already been mentioned and I think your border(s) should span the whole height of the image, not just a part of it for cleanliness.

how's the updated one?

Falstaff · Oct 13, 2005, 11:28 PM

I know my opinion doesnt count for much, but how about some curling around the cracks.

pr0digal jenius · Oct 13, 2005, 11:56 PM
