Bare Canvas - Discussion

nice tags guys. loving the buckethead 1, soz i cant remember who made it. i just scrolled through.

fotc - on your latest, tighten your effects. they're going this way, that way, any which way if you get what i mean. when you make a tag, try and get it to make sense as a whole. lots of good effects put together badly can suck. you got it together in the spiderman 1 above that, just do it consistently.

 

new tag:

kinda messy with alll the wire frames flower. dont really like it tho

 

i think that sprite in particular sucks. nice tag though. like the depth.

 

That was mine. D:

 

The effects are real nice on that one propel i actually like it

 

Gj on the guitar one a page back im lovin it was the bg all smudged?

 

Gj propel you did well with that sprite.

 

just checking in, folks. keep up the activity!

 

@flower "Not liking the colors and need more depth.

@propel "Nice work. Effects did go well with the flow. Keep it up.

"My latest. Gift to someone.

 

YOU NEED TO HELP ME WITH TEXT lmfao urs is sooo nice i like the sig a bit simple but the effects are really cool around the sprite sorry people i havent been making anything since i got into the crew ive been trying to clean out my computer so im able to make lots more stuff cuz im running outa room haha

 

"Its really hard to do a good text at the start. The technique is to look in other works or in a magazines. One technique about text is make your main text more visible then your sub is less visible. Low the opacity of your sub text. Also use atleast 2 different fonts. Hope that give help.

 

You may disagree with me, but I've gotten so much better with text in the last few months, so I might offer a little advice.

Text relies on composition, bad compo? Bad text.

You can have the coolest looking text in the world, but if the placement's off, you might as well have left it out.

Also, like Humac said, have your main text big and visible, and your sub text smaller and more decorative.

Also, do not be under the impression that text should be hidden. Good text, which stands out, but isn't overpowering the focal, is what you should be aiming for.

EDIT: Also, if you don't use the Character window, start as of now (cept for you gimpers). Using character spacing etc makes big difference.

 

"Thats a nice tip inverse. Hope others try it. ^_^

 

Yeah, here's my latest. I personally think it's the best sprite signature i've ever made.

The smudge on the head doesn't go well. Nice concept though. Text is nice too.

Thanks for the tips, inverse and humac.
