[ART] Just got into GFXs
So yeah... I want to start learning how to gfx.

So I created myself a forum set

OLD



UPDATE 2 ON SIG OMG

update 2



I play LoL and wanted a forum set of Ahri for a different forum. So I created that.
My first try at gfx'ing. Please give me criticism.

Created with GIMP
Render by a friend.
Text: BIRTH OF A HERO
Some of the red and blue were fractals sent from a friend, the same person who did the render.
This practically makes it a collab so yeah.

I think you did good not overcharging the image with more effects when you just started. The signature was too big so try to use a smaller size next time. The light and shadows weren't represented correctly in both images, you should probably practice more on that. Be careful with the placement of the text, it's very important when placing, don't place the text wherever you like; avoid using stylized font. The render needs to be the focal point of the image, placing it where you can't focus when looking at the image directly will make them image look less appealing and interesting.

Well, that's all I needed to say. :)
Have fun learning GFX.

borders
too bright
too large
bad placement for text and too big
try to put it in a place where the eyes won't go straight to
you have this massive neon blue splash that takes away from everything else
idk what the stock was but it's just overdone
you also have a lot of open space, which is filled with nothing of value
(all those random splashes of overlayed color)
don't talk to me or my dudes ever again

Okay, bump
I updated it, making the size smaller (well, leaving ahri the same size) and placing the text. Life was meant to be Mercy, but it was some sort of typo.
I thought the protruding character gave it a nice effect.

the original text was better... putting "life" instead of "mercy" fucked up all the meaning of the sentence. Now it lack of any meaning.

Like I said, typo
I'll try to edit it tomorrow, but my dad brought the laptop to work.
