Show off your Work

it really isn't anything personal...towards you...but its like I try and try and fuckin try but my shit is never as good as well... anybody's?

I haven't been at it that long, and I know that I still have a lot to learn, but I know what constructive critiscism is...and I've had 2 replies that were in that category. im not trying to make a point on here because I know its not going to change anything...but ill tell you this. im not the only one that feels this way.apparently, however, im the first to say anything about it. this place has went from my eden to being like fucking 20th century russia...hell, I don't post for a couple of weeks and I come back to discover that the majority of the members are in different groups with different privelages and diffrerent threads...I mean goddamn, I saw a thread about customscar in the VIP thread at robs house that I would've never known about had I not been on his computer.

I want you all to know...every member of this forum...

these are my opinions of this forum...not of individuals. and you'll probably be saying to yourself "well why don't you just fucking leave?", and somebody will probalby post it....and you know what, I wish I could quit posting...but I can't. HGF became a part of my day back in June and its been that way ever since...ill be the first to tell you that I dont have a life...until it comes to my computer, and thats why I continue posting. because this and one other forum are the closest thing I have to a social live minus Rob, Shock, Aaron, and Adem.

"but its like I try and try and fuckin try"


"I haven't been at it that long"


So keep "trying". And rest assured if mono or adem posted that my responce would be the same.

I know what he is talking about to an extent..(talking about Justin)...xpose, joe, and all the other average joe photoshoppers on here dont give constructive criticism...they first let it be known that its not good...then if you are lucky wou will get advice...its why I dont post alot of my work on here...they dont know the proper etiquette...I mean, im not talking everyone...just a selected few that 'arent as good as they think'....

understand a little more now tomm?

see why I love this mother fucker....he understands me

yeah I know what u mean I guess.

Well, by mentioning my name in that and stating that I dont give constructive criticism, well frankly you're wrong. I say what I think, then suggest improvements on whatever is the image in question.

I recall writing a small tutorial on the pen tool a couple of pages back to help someone

Hmmm well for one, if you put it up expect an opinion, I give consturctive criticism, I've given loads to womp, Fuck I told Adem what I did/didin't like about his last piece, so it's not like im just saying "oooh yer amazing" or "that's shit" brutal honesty will get you further, if it's shit someone needs to say, and then say whats wrong, find a post of mine where I just said pure shit to someones work, there will be 1-2 at most, but I don't think I've ever done that.

I really don't think he was talking to you dude...

All I can say, (and dont spaz out on me) angry blue is the worst font ever ( tied with comic sans). You probably wont know who im directing this too... but im just putting it out there.

Nice and clean as always dude, the transition from b&w to color needs a little bit of work though (I said a little fuckers) , is that your girlfriend?, and if it is did you take the picture cause I love it.

I think its mono's sister?

Heh, yeah its my sister. She's 14.


lol.

Is her name Stereo?

:|

haha that was probably the worst joke ever.


and I still smiled :|

I honestly disagree with everyone that said the fade to the flowery plain needs work.. if you'd read my comment on DA, you'd fully understand, and yes, that was mike's sister, who is totally awesome for taking time and posing, cause it helped tons.

im no art or photoshop expert but I think its real purdy, I love the colours of the flowers & balloons, they remind me of something I saw a while back but I cant remember what it was, thanks for sharing adem. I have no critisism as I dont think imho there is any to critisize.

Marc took the words outta my mouth^
Really nice piece again adem
My favorite part are the balloons against the trees. Awesome

Love it Adem, your work really inspires me. Wish I had PS.

Looking at it again, I am thinking that the flowers need some sort of blending into the white sky abit more, esp. the top one which looks cut out and stuck on.

Maybe a layer mask fade and same with some gaussian blur?

I appreciate the advice or whatever man, from everyone actually, but no thanks. I never have, or will in the future, reveal my work as a "please help me make it better" show.

everything I do is final product, and whatever you, or anyone else see's as "weird" or "out of place" I did on purpose and is how I do my work. if there was something that needed changing I would have done it by now.

everyone varies when it comes to the minds eye. so what you see as needing to "blend" is probably something I enjoy the way it is. I don't make anything to impress but myself really, cause I love what I do. I don't take offense from critizism, I just ignore it, because I never ask for it. your opinion and yours alone.

plus noone here has the right to tell you what looks out of place because you pwn us all

You still love me, right?


Rock on dude.

Long time no posting, welcome back mang

I dont see myself as 'pwned' thanks...

Personal opinion, dont get upset.

Thx *insert cheers emoticon*.

yeah I still love you, I didn't write that as me being mad, I just thought I'd make a point. I post my stuff cause I actually do have fans who like what I do. if I was looking for better tips or something, I'd be posting stuff over on some graphic forum.



just as a defense here, I didn't write that to be directed towards you in any kind of anger. I like your work, but we have totally different styles and opinions here, which is why I never comment most of the time on your work, cause what do I know about the kind of stuff you do? I'm a photomanipulist, I do nothing else. I don't know shit about vectoring, or drawing. I've never used the pen tool.

if you worked hard on something and got it to the point of enjoying it (a lot of noticeable effort, not just a few over used brushes and filters), and you post it being proud and then a bunch of low lives tear it apart like you wanted their input, it's really a waste of time, cause honestly. would you care? and once again, I wasn't directing anything towards you. just a self observant type thing.
