Helpmeplz Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 So, both me and Socuine are formidable artists and we decided to make a thread where we hold our battles! This thread is meant for a learning curve. How do we improve ourselves otherwise?Genre's will be random and totally out of the blue. The current genre is **Western**. The text will say Bandit town.You guys will be the judges3/8/11Socuine's was more professional and won this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luriok Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Hmm I think legend's hit the genre better for this one. The wooden board background is nicely suited. The faded colors is a nice addition to it. Soc yours is little too 'new' in my opion, although I really like the cowboy riding. It was a very nice touch. Good job both of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toranos Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 In respect of design, I think Socuine's tops it off. The rustic look works well with the genre, just as much as Legend's wooden piece. The lighting source also works well to make the text look intended. I must say I like Socuine's more.Yeah, Legends hits the genre a bit more, but it seems more like a shop sign, rather than the feel that Socuine's has, created by the dark colors. Also the bullet holes and cowboy are a nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luriok Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 True but those 'bullet' holes look more like water(liquid) stains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Definitely Socks'. No offence Legend, yours just looks like text with a red stroke added onto a wood texture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I might have to participate, but not today. hanging out with friends on spring break! Maybe when I get home late tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devogen Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Add some Light>Dark brown gradient ellipses to the centre of your bullet holes, then negative emboss them, make then slightly transparent they will have a bit more depth, currently the bullet holes look like coffee stains. I do prefer Socuines, looks more professional than legends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devogen Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Just keep practicing, don't get all hung up on having graphics wars.I suggest offering some form of free work for sigs/logos for people. Receiving many different requests and ideas can often help you 'force' yourself into learning new things. Often when you do things just for yourself, you become complacent and don't learn new techniques and don't improve existing ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
