Re: GW's Monthly Graphics Competition #223 [Carnival] VOTE!
Thank you Aanker for taking the time to write a proper critique! While not required it is certainly appreciated. Since you took the time I will contribute a few words myself.
Number 1 I loved the blending. It shows the experience of the creator as each aspect is combined just enough and the simple text effect is ... well effective. Nice work!
Number 2 The most beautiful piece in my opinion! The haze as (Aanker phrased it) is done a little too much. I love the lighting and "feel" of the piece but would loved to have seen the details a bit sharper. I think it would have added to the "tragedy". Nice work!
Number 3 .... hmmm. Nice submission I guess. Good colors, but not sure I really like the text. I feel less could be more in this case or maybe more should have been more concerning the text and effect. Nice work.
Number 4 The first thing that jumps at me besides the obvious is the border or lack of. If going for the faded border I would have done it up a bit more. Of course that is just me, besides my personal preferences in a piece... My eyes seemed to have a hard time knowing what to focus on first. Concentrated chaos came to mind. I like the different effects for sure. Nice work!
Number 5 I wish it was bigger. Size does matter, just ask any woman that wont lie to you. lol From what I can see I like it. Loved what you did with the text. Still it leaves me wanting more. For sure nice work!
Voted! - Hard pick this comp! Like Aanker I try to find the best piece that fits the theme. Great work everyone! As for my critiques please take it with a grain of salt, if you take the time to read it. I have a hard time looking at a piece and not thinking how I would have done something different or what I would have done to "finish" it. I have a hard time finishing my own work. I don't think I'm ever happy or really finished with anything lol. I usually just get tired of messing with it and just upload it so I will leave it alone. And that perspective isn't the best way to judge a piece. Really good to see some top quality submissions! TWC is just so talented for sure. I do truly hope others will take the time to join us next time! I know you guys are out there!
