Title: Criticism for a new member?
Post by: wiistation70 on August 08, 2009, 07:17:35 PM: Just got interested in the IMT Shields, I worked on one just today, and now I'm wondering if I'm doing it right. Of course, what better place to ask for constructive criticism than the place where said construct originated.

So, just to get it out of the way, here it r:

I want you (in your spare time) to look at this thing, detest it, and list every thing wrong with it. And when I say detest, I truly do mean detest - hate it, and hopefully everything right with it will outweigh what is wrong.

Only thing I can say is it's a little difficult to figure out what's going on in that background, there.

And yes, I probably should have made the background bigger. Now that I put it out there, it's amazing how many defects I'm noticing.

i love it myself, it looks good but the green could blend with the pic a little better... try red ^_^

Doomsday is holding up Superman's ripped up cape on the bones coming out of his fist

Post by: shinrahunter on August 10, 2009, 10:40:33 AM: I love the green! and the work around the template border is really good.
The things I don't like are: The green inner border - most noticable on the left side on Doomsday's face & the size of the background pic you've chosen. this size would wourk with a nice sprite in front of it (but I haven't seen any nice DD sprites).

As for noticing stuff once you've posted it, We all do that lol. that's why it's important to save the unfinished product aswell as the final product ;)

Here's a little on what I would have done personally, not saying this is THE way you should have done or anything, just a few changes on my end:

Gotta say, I am loving the friendlies. I took all the comments, cobbled them together (tried to, anyway) and I made a few more examples. Aaand here they are!

Any new criticisms?

Also, thank you VERY MUCH for the time spent on that personal tut graphic.

Post by: DARKTALBAIN on August 11, 2009, 12:13:28 AM: I like the first one the most . But , that's just because I like room to add a sprite . The one you are using looks great also . The third one is too plain & needs some work . I just don't really like that pic inside at all , I guess

Post by: Vault-tec Rep Høröúßøí on August 11, 2009, 12:55:07 AM: is the third one's middle a render?
