I can't take all the credit. We both wanted to do large pieces this week.

Anyways, I started on my entry a while back but I should have it done in a day or two. And I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else comes up with since this is basically a freestyle event with a larger canvas.

[Kuro]

So is this basically freestyle with just larger pieces?

[Blacksite]

Yeah, they can range from a simple poster to a magazine cover or whatever.

[Kuro]

Ok cool just making sure man.

[-Kwesnoth-]

Just finished this beast.

[Kingpin326]

Wow looks good, what is that Crysis?

Thanks man, and yeah its crysis.

[Fon]

What a beast, -Kwesnoth-

[-Kwesnoth-]

Thanks Fon.

[-Kwesnoth-]

Only one entry so far? C'mon guys!

[Ghost-Rhayne]

Where does one start, software wise, in making sigs? Are there any decent free software apps? You guys have talent and It'd be nice, in time, to be able to take part in the SOTW challenges.

Also, amazing work there Mr -Kwesnoth-

Gimp is a very good freeware graphics design program. Andi it also can have a single window interface too which is great.

And thanks.

God Damn! Kwes..0_0
I dunno if I wanna make one now..

[spyrde]

Will probably do another one, not pleased at all but I'll leave this as a placeholder.

I like it! But IMO it might look at little better if the spot right in front of him was not blurred soo much.

Yea it's on purpose, I tried something that didn't work out too well lol

Need to start shedding off that rust that's been gathering on top of me.

[Tribunal]

These are far too big to be considered sigs.

[-Kwesnoth-]

Yeah, thats why its a "large piece" theme.

And awesome work by the way.

[Blacksite]

I finally finished putting together my entry. It's harder than it looks.



I, of course, uploaded it to my deviantART page as well.

[-Kwesnoth-]

I'd darken the render to fit into the picture.

[Tribunal]

He'll darken you're render.

Dawum.

[Blacksite]

You guys are hard to please.

[Fon]

Edit: I had time so I'll change it to this.

[Blacksite]

It looks good, although there are a couple things I would recommend:

1. The video game title and developer/publisher logo should pop out more as opposed to being transparent. The reason for this is because, at first glance, you want your consumer to see the name of your product.

2. The Atlus logo actually has a 1-pixel white outer glow which really goes back to my first point on how these things don't intentionally blend with the background.

Examples:







By the way, we should suggest themes for next week's competition.
