[QUOTE=SockFC;36923521]Wow, after looking at the stuff in this thread I could hear my self esteem drop.
Alrighty, I know these look shitty but me and my friend can't decide which to use for a side project me and him are doing. Rate informative for the first one, rate useful for the second.

Refs used of course
Any GIMP users?
So I have this dark image, there is this dim feel to it, but still some lige you barely can see. And i pasted something else on top of it.
Is there a filter of some sorts to make it blend with the other one?

What brushes are those near the bottom?
I was bored so I decided to make some propaganda posters for fictional factions in a lore I'm writing.
[t]http://i.imgur.com/iLO3y.png[/t][t]http://i.imgur.com/HPQqD.png[/t]
I hesitated at first between giving them a dirtier, more used look but I eventually went for pristine state because it was easier that way.
Any advices ? Should I keep doing those in the same style, try something different ?
The text is really boring and not that neatly done.
Try using more than one font and enhance the readability on the orange one.
They don't really seem readable enough for propaganda posters and I don't like the font in the second one.
When I think of propaganda posters I would expect much more bold and impacting text. You wouldn't even be able to read these at a distance.

I use Daarken's brushes
[url]http://www.daarken.com/flash2005/tutorials/daarken_07_09_09.zip[/url]
i'd recommend trying something like avant garde bold

a nice clean, bold sans font is what you want

Something about the eyes and shadows throw it off for me... Other than that, it's nice.

Main inconsistencies I notice:
~Hat angle
~Hair lighting and (in some places) form.
~Eyes angle
~Noise direction
~Clothing detail and shape.
In other news, its time for yet another one of lucky's squareshits. Peep it.

I don't like it so I'll probably remake it sometime.

You should work on getting where everything is placed in relation to the rest of the picture, look at it as a whole and how everything connects instead of focusing on one little bit at a time. For starters the angle of the face is quite different in your drawing from the photo, and also further out to the right on the head. Here's some giant red lines and what a little rotating to match the angles up did:

Although now she's looking down with the rotating, but you get the idea. Putting some guiding lines in your initial sketch for angles and such before you start with the detail can be very helpful.

Hey, I'm having fun, and there's an ignore button for a reason. What I'm doing isn't against the rules AFAIK.
[editline]25th July 2012[/editline]
Plus it's just a bunch of text (and/or a picture) on a screen, I don't understand how it can bother you [i]that much[/i] unless it's something inflamatory or graphic.

the text is too thin, but that's already been poked at. If anything I'd ask you make the fist angular. Really angular. The circle form makes it look fat and powerless

Funny thing about that second style, last time FP saw it, everyone threw a tantrum about it ripping off Cyanide and Happiness and Eddsworld.
