bttb-rox! Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 What a great angle?! And what a HotDad?! This one is fantastic as are the others. This is a true example of proper angleism . The text on both the Drew av's is perfect, really bold on the first one which makes it stand out and the second one with just the outline of text looks great! The Jazz avatars are fantastic, and I love the colour of the text but its just a bit too dark and its a tad hard to see the 'J' so it kinda looks like 'azz' . But don't worry I could tell what it was . You were very brave going for that yellow on the Colleen av's Cal...and it works perfectly!! I prefer the one without the border as I think it draws your attension to the text more. Great Hayley av, I love her expression! Beautiful colouring too and perfect cropping. And the colouring on the Kirsty av is spot on, nice and bright! I also love her expression in that one too! Wonderful work as always so well done Cal . Sorry about the long comment!!!
Cal Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 Thanks, Guys! And don't worry about the length of the comment, Coco. The longer, the better!
Eli Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 I like all your new work, especially these. I really like the coloring you use (how do you do that? My coloring always sucks!) and the cropping is nice. Also I like the caps/pictures you have used, especially on the Hayley one. Oh, and I'm you're making Jazz avatars as well, I have just stared on some, thought I was the only one thinking she deserves aome avatars
Cal Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 Thanks, Eli. The colouring is quite simple. After you have leveled (I use Auto-level.) and curved the icon ->-> -> Then go to Selective colouring -> Neutral... Cyan+33, Magenta-33, Yellow-36,Black+38... Adjust the numbers slightly for each icon, because it varies from time to time. Hope that helped!
Eli Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 Ohh! Thanks! I haven't really used levels that much, but I'll give it a try now
Eli Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 I really like the cropping on the first Jazz one. Also I like the coloring on the Lucas one, it really suits the avatar, and makes the shadows in the picture look really cool in a way. Also I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who likes plain black borders
flutterby Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 Liking the Lucas one on this page and the Coleen on the other, your colouring and cropping is great not sure about the fonts on some though, maybe try layering it, changing the opacity a bit an adding some glows or other effects? xx
Cal Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 Thanks, Eli and Katie. Thanks for the tip, Katie! I'll try it next time. (Thanks to Coco for the caps) - I'm experimenting with textures, at the moment...
