NOPE! The result of boredom and free time... - General

I wasn't really sure where to post this but this section seems appropriate. So my friend suggested to me that I make something in regards to the "nope.avi" engineer, so I made this: [IMG]http://a.imageshack.us/img814/5919/engineernope.png[/IMG] I used some stock photos for the effects, and some basic text... It didn't take very long but I think it turned out alright. The only problem is, I wish it was wallpaper sized... What do you guys think?

Nope!

I actually love it, lol. Maybe not the font, but it's fine. [editline]03:02PM[/editline] Also I'd make it say NOPE. instead of NOPE!

Yep!

I think the text should follow the perspective of the engineer's head. Right now it flows in it's own plane and kind-of breaks up the flow of the picture. I'm also not sure if the engineer should have the grungy effect on him or not. I get the feeling that he is part of the background with it, but I can't really tell.

I agree that the word should follow the perspective og engies head, but other than that, it's wallpaper worthy.

Here's an interesting note about direction. The perspective on the word nope looks like it is being said to him.

So, I read your comments and made a few changes... I also found the TF2 font in the game files and decided to use that instead of what I had before. [img]http://a.imageshack.us/img13/690/editenginope.png[/img] Is that what you guys meant by the perspective of the engie's head?

Nope. Hold on, I have another TF2 font...

Yeah sort of. I think it still needs an adjustment. [img]http://a.imageshack.us/img838/5722/48328594.png[/img] Sort of what it looks like (not to scale in terms of depth. It still looks as if it is going to run behind his head. I also think you should make it look as it is running out of his mouth. [img]http://a.imageshack.us/img291/9001/92063863.png[/img] Right now it isn't following parallel to his mouth and is more coming out of his nose (in terms of angle). And I noticed you removed the effect from the engineer himself, I like it better this way.

It's the best of the three. The second one's font was too small. Now how about some tf2

You need to turn down the amount of skewed 3D perspective on the text.

I mean that it needs to go in this direction <Nope< instead of >Nope>

Once again, if you were to extend the line of text it would still run behind his head. As dgg said, tone down the perspective on it.

Actually disagree with you guys. Although the 3rd definitely is the best, the text shoulds tart small next to his mouth and and much bigger and further away in my opinion.

First one is best IMHO. Take the font from the third and put it exactly as in the first, depth and all. I also think the slanted background text looked better. And for that matter the exclamation point made it more expressive, and funnier. Even the composition is pretty much spot on for the first.

I have to agree, the first one was the best for me too.

The text is acting as a line, which leads your eye to the main plane of the image, the Engineer. Nice work, OP. First was definitely the best.
