Relax Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Hey guys, I'm new here but a main hobby of mine has always been Graphic design, so I thought I would come and participate in this sub. I haven't done any design in a very long time, so I may be a bit rusty. It may be worth to mention that my avatar & signature were also made by me Edited February 18, 2015 by Relax 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's really an abstract smudge with the render sort attempting to tear out of it whilst he is disintegrating. The colour choices resemble fire/smoke. I'm fine with criticism as long as it's constructive. Edited February 18, 2015 by Relax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relax Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Seeing as I'm one of the only taggers here, I'll give you some constructive criticism. I can appreciate the fact that you guys obviously don't like abstract or understand much about it, the whole idea of abstract is the randomness of it. The tag itself has a direct flow, however. The depth in my opinion is fine and the hand is not floating, it is being consumed by the 'smoke clouds', per say. The tag is intentionally blurred, mainly certain parts of the background to create a smokey, dreamy feel to it. There is however a definitive separation between parts that are meant to be blurred and parts that are not. I agree that the light is a bit too harsh in some areas, i.e. the chest and where it does abruptly stop to the left hand side. Thanks Edited February 18, 2015 by Relax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks This is not abstract. this is You can't use that excuse if your tag looks random. You have little to none compo and atmo. There's hardly any depth as-well.

This tag is an abstract smudge. ab·stract art noun art that does not attempt to represent external reality, but seeks to achieve its effect using shapes, forms, colors, and textures. If you're using a humanoid in your tag, it automatically disqualifies you from claiming that it's "abstract".

If you're using a humanoid in your tag, it automatically disqualifies you from claiming that it's "abstract". The fact that you had to supply a definition from google means you really don't understand the term "Abstract". I don't know why you're being so hostile towards me, but it is an abstract smudge. I did not say the render was abstract, because you were referring to the smudging, not the render being "random". I'd appreciate if you left the thread if you are just going to be negative and unencouraging, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
