    *Wonders why a Last Word thread hasn't been made about MOTM. Everytime a thread is made, the victim is 96.5% banned. Only a few survived. They need to <strike>be shot again</strike> have a topic about them started again*

    k, this'll be my last post here, but its directed more towards dem.

    K, well maybe AF did deny me because of my graphic ability and then if they did that's fine with me. I barely said anything to asar, I pmed him, he wrote back and it was done. I also would like to add that Justin` was the one who started this ----, don't think I was like " YEAH WELL IM ------ SO HA" that was barely my point of interest in the argument. They were insulting my abilities so I asked them if they wanted to battle instead of do this stupid thing, but they declined and went on. I do have somewhat of an ego, but so should everybody, ITS A WEBSITE, who cares if you have ego, if you get classed ---------- then you should be able to use that as a small arguement. Wrong or Right you still need somewhat of a talent to achieve it. I'm just saying don't play me off as an egotistical idiot when they raised some pretty egocentric points themselves and I was just retaliating.

    tell me what this even means:

    Can you officially ask Dem for a banning so that you never come back?

    I'm not saying this for me as you have affected me neither positively nor negatively so your presence here does not phase me.

    For the record, while people in the last word end up banned, only a handful of people have actually been banned for their posts in this forum, all of them giving permission to be banned.

    Those are all the same concept MOTM. If it doesn't use the same techniques (and they don't all), they are all boring, dull and lifeless. There is little to no difference in overall style used on them, sure a couple of different filters, a stock and a render vs a brush, etc. but they all come out with the same effect in the end.

    The he said she said argument is boring. He posted, you replied, you then became a part of the topic. You could have simply let him talk shit and then didn't bother replying, probably the more mature thing to do, but then you would have lost your super e-peen and all your 'disciples' would have rethought how their 'god' could ever let someone mock him publically.

    For the record, that was sarcasm, and the whole comparison to god is because of what I see when I see your posts. Your god complex is almost as bad as mine, except I actually have the power to do something to somewhat back up my god complex, where you just sit around and argue hoping to win.

    Senioritis~ I'll do it after I graduate.



    NOW! Down to business... Note that I am in no way saying that I am better, these are observations based on my eye, which I believe to be skilled, whether or not my hand is (ow ow~)
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


    [​IMG]
    A tad chaotic, lots of useless text. Dead space on the left, kinda boring overall. I don't see any meaning to the map or the question mark, and its as thought you just put a couple stocks in then made them a blending mode over a texture. Where was the effort?

    [​IMG]
    What is the point of all the dead space? Seriously? Leave it as the circle, make it big, and stop making it a signature. It doesn't look like it was intended to be one at all. Its fairly appealing for the landscape stock, but the girl is kinda retarded, she just disrupts the image and takes away from the appeal over all.

    [​IMG]
    Weird shape for a signature. No real effects to speak of, shiny lights and colors may attract the 5 year old in the high chair but not me. Terrible text, needs to be worked on.

    [​IMG]
    I like the text on here a bit more, but the concept of the tag is extraordinarily simple. Filter-trick background and some pasted heads and a photo filter/ alternate adjustment layer. Looks like you added noise too... don't do that. Kills all sense of contrast.

    [​IMG]
    Potentially my favorite, girl is well integrated into the background. Text sucks, work on it. Fix your contrast, seriously, its starting to bother me.

    [​IMG]
    Nice pen work, too much dead space. your text is still terrible here. Also, stop whoring the textured background, make a real one.

    [​IMG]
    Same damn texture as always. Applying a texture isn't a style, so don't give me any of that later. Again, too much dead space. Fill in your tag. If you go through all that effort to make the pen work looks nice then keep going and make yourself a background to match it. Text is a little more creative but still not impressive. Same style as the other tag, you probably copy and pasted the stuff in the middle and just re-sized it, only adding the extra 19-20 lines of the head (which you duplicated and flipped)

    [​IMG]
    This is the same goddamn tag as above. Adding a few new layers of color helped it a little, but then why post the ----tier version as well? Same comments apply from above.

    [​IMG]
    Blurry, chaotic, no flow, the bar on the left doesn't make sense, and the text is still bad. Easily the worst tag here.




    Overall Analysis:

    Needs Work: Text, background, contrast, and composition, ratio of GOOD WORK/TIME LOST needs to be above 1.
    Solid: Nothing is ever solid in art, especially art that's main purpose is to represent your interests on online forums that none of your friends go on.



    Explanation for crushing your aspirations and dreams:
    I'm eating popcorn.

    You really do suck at CnC lol. Even though I don't really like MOTM, you really do suck.

    Lol @ the dead space comments.

    =/ dunno why you joined the parade, but if thats your critical view on my art then so be it, idk what i did to offend you but you should learn to be somewhat respectful when criticizing being in the graphics crew.
    Anyways, a few side comments for the criticizm, the circle one is an lp crop, so hence the small size and neg space. the circle draws more attention and you cant make the focal too big in a tag.
    IDK why you hate negative space that much, perhaps its personal prefrance but you criticize the negative space when there barely is any.
    effects are the lights, the orig stock was just the render of the boxer. so there's that.
    once again with the text, I think its personal preferance to you so try not to be so blatantly revealing, i know alot of designers who like the text, but like I stated, if you dont like it then thats alright with me. If youre looking for text with so much effects I have done that but its just not appealing to me, everyone has their own tastes.
    this one threw me off the most, you just assumed something completely wrong, i would go into detail of the work i did in fact do but i dont have the patience atm. I was quite offended that you played it off as this.

    so once again, i have no problem with you dae, hopefully you dont see this post as egotistcal because i was just giving my reaction.
