[Discussions] SOTM #31 - May 2015

[nanashi1]

not possible for the most of them.

Hmm... Who knows... This can none know...

 

[Dark Angel]

[MENTION=29193]nanashi1[/MENTION]; most of them are done with GFX. Only 2-3 persons i just kept contact with them most of them are inactive. Though i am trying to bring them back.
The unfortunate is that the most reliable person among them have left for good the GFX. And without him... it just like having a Ferrari with a machine of a Fiat 500...
Basically the team is uncompleted.

 

[Ignis]

Maaaan, I was away for a while, too engrossed in and got occupied by some stuff...

First of all, I'd like to apologise for not being around and participating in the conversation. I think I've checked back everything I missed now.There are only a few days left before closure but I'll make sure to take part in the conversation now (I'll need to put up the new SOTM as well as the new poll later anyway). If there's anything I could still help with, like any graphics-related input or tips or anything, please don't hesitate to let me know.

I think I've checked back everything I missed now; I see we had some more entries while I wasn't looking.

Seems like Touwa Erio revised his entry? I don't recall, but whether he did or not, it looks good now. I like the colourful blurry bubbles spanning through the middle area of the signature; I think they'd look great with a stronger bokeh effect. And Konstantinos' entry is neat! I like the pattern―it's neatly aligned and looks balanced. I think it feels a bit weird that there's one part of the pattern visible (albeit semi-transparent) on the girl's head. On the other hand, the one on her bunny ear doesn't feel that out of place. Other than that, her hair really fits in well with the pattern in terms of colours.

Then we have xyzapy, who seems to have a touch of cutesy as always. It's also a neat entry―neat in the sense of being clean and tidy. There are no excessive effects or conflicting colours or anything of the sort; just neatly aligned elements that in my opinion look harmonious. I also like the text of "Anime-Sharing" and "Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun" in Japanese. Nice work overall. And Pekie's design is something I've gotten familiar with, in particular the three blocks of differing colours being lined together. It has a similar feel to xyzapy's in terms of being tidy.

There's a face I hadn't seen before―ibaneznumberssomething―who made a nice entry. The render looks a bit blurred, but I suppose that's on purpose, as it doesn't really detract from the overall quality of the piece. Though, if I had to nitpick, it'd be the text as it looks pretty out of place and out of focus, being on the corner of the image at all. Decent piece, still. And finally, Evdokia's entry... as others have said, it's a great render indeed! It matches quite well with the floating background too, although I'm not too sure about the text. Maybe make it float outside the square shape as well, just like the render?

I think that's all. Speaking of which, any suggestion for next month's theme? Or maybe another free theme?

 

[Touwa Erio]

[MENTION=2]Ignis[/MENTION]; i make a second copy of a wallpaper that i found with bubbles this one in particular here. I erase some parts and kept the middle and mixed with the orginal background where was a black layer also i used this render here. And also i add this image an soft light blending layer style above the bubbles layer.

It's basicaly a very easy to make signature. i didn't have many thinks to mix them to make this sig.

It's nice almost seen so difficult or complicated to made and yet so simple! It looks nice!

Hmm... How sad, you feel sure lonely right?

Well, this was an hard motivation work, that we some candidates gather could (Well, this time had D'angel the most work...)...


And theme...? Hmm... Good question indeed... Probably with the upcoming season (summer) what - This may as well a big success...>_>

 

[Dark Angel]

Summer with bikini characters on or white one piece dress hm I am getting many cool ideas

 

[Touwa Erio]

nice theme you picked up [MENTION=29193]nanashi1[/MENTION];

nice theme you picked up

1st: Evening people...

2nd: Well, summer has some potentials in SOTM32 - there is anything possible!

 

[Touwa Erio]

i have some nice examples in my mind right now with bikini / beach girl beach-volley

 

[nanashi1]

Ah, I see, cool... Well, the usually (but not less awesome...) elements in the hottest season of the year Evy...

 

[Dark Angel]

I would a free theme or a summer theme don't know I have many ideas

 

[nanashi1]

Well, we can an poll about the upcoming theme (if Ignis as well agrees) start...

Good idea! Would you like to send him a vm?

 

[nanashi1]

Well, we'll it see...

Good idea! Would you like to send him a vm?

Hmm... I will, but probably tomorrow, because I'm fucking tired...

 

[Dark Angel]

Thanks buddy!

I worked my to hard to make the aligned the back objects. I screwed up with the mask layer that i take a copy from a more upscale background... i am working on it... i might change only this place there and i will re-place my entry.

Thanx for pointing out my mistakes ;)

I see. It's a simple combination, but it turned out pretty nice nonetheless! Personally, I'd say a large part of graphics design is making use of existing assets rather than making new ones from scratch, and what you did is in accordance with my view.

Well, we can an poll about the upcoming theme (if Ignis as well agrees) start...

Sure, I don't mind having a poll, that sounds like a good idea. However, with a poll, we need to have options available in hand, which is why I asked here first. We could gather ideas and present them as options in a poll, though I'm afraid there may not be enough time for that. I guess suggestions will do for now, or if nothing else, we all likely already know what we'll have for a summer theme anyway.

Then again, does summer have to mean swimsuits and the like? :P And what about those in the Southern Hemisphere who'll be having winter instead? For that matter, while the weather is getting humid here, we still have rainfalls every now and then―wouldn't a theme that represents things such as the beach, the sea, swimsuits and the like be better to be done for the peak of summer like in July or August? (Of course I'm perfectly fine with having a summer theme next month; I can always think of new themes for the next summer months.)

Ah, I see. Well, not that it looks bad or anything, and it's not exactly a mistake either. Only something that I personally consider a little out of place, in my own view of course. But if I helped, hey, you're welcome!
