God-Of-Earth

Is anybody still using this forum. I popped back after a long absence to see my favourate forum empty.

Seems like an lot has changed then. Well im sure there is still a lot to get involved with. Thanks guys!

I dont agree that the site is organized. AT a quick glance, and i stress quick. I cant see what you site is about or what it is advertising. The navigation isn't great and i would like more colour. You obviously have an idea to some degree so just spend more time on it. Really seems like too many people rush their site's nowerdays. In a Nut shell:- A logo- More Colour- Better layout and navigationGood luck with it, and as always im here to answer questions. For what my opinion is worth.

I used Photoshop to do my graphics. An older version by todays standards see as ive been out of the game for a while now.

Hi, I?m not too sure what you classing as unconventional, or your background and experience in web design and graphics. The site and the templates on your site look very plain to me. The main idea of most sites is advisement and a plain site won?t do this very well. More colours and more extensive graphical design would be the first thing id suggest. However maybe the points im highlighting are exactly why you?re saying it?s unconventional. If it is I don?t think the sites look as professional as perhaps they could do. Sorry if it looks like i'm been very negative. It's just not the type of site id be attracted to.

Hello there all my old friends. Im finally back! Its been far too long. I hope all my pals from the old GFX Team are still about.

the text is its big let down. very good stuff but i cant seem to look past that. also im not sure about the overlay you seem to have used. i think some good use of scan lines instead could look good. like you have on the border. then use the gray style of overlay you have for the border. really good work though post some more!!

Megan Fox!!! Damn believe it or not i forgot about her. good call dude!

haha come on dude she doesnt count. although im sure she's hot

Olga Kurylenko gets my vote for sure. In case you dont know she was the co star in Hitman.

I like it and its not really my style. the only thing id have to say i dont like it the image you have used on the left hand side but dont ask me why. It also looks like you have cut that render yourself and not done a very good job because of the white i can see. Also it has no border which is a shame really but good effort on the whole.

Yeah id like to see more brushing and some better render blending. dont worry about the text to much its a difficult thing to master its certainly not my strong point. good effort anyway keep them coming.

It seems as though its the constant not knowing where you stand that has you feeling this way. as you say she has moved out but her things are at yours, this alone is confusing. In all honesty i would say that trying not to talk to her is the worst thing. Get together and try to find out what she wants and what she is thinking of the situation. You obviously love this woman so go for it, and at least be clear you want to be with her. One the other hand if she is clear in her own mind and to you that its over forever then i would look towards getting a fresh start for yourself too. ie, Arranging for the to collect her things. Im afraid this is my best advice. I wish you the very best of luck and im sorry you feel so bad.

Seen as im back after a long break i thought id post the first sig i have made in nearly a year and ill put it here. man im well and truly rusty and it took me longer tan it used to. its amazing how much you can forget.

Id have to agree. simple things like lighting, borders and you need to try some brushing dude. Work on your blending after that. get stuck into some of the tutorials on here im pretty sure you will pick loads up of them. Anyway keep your new work coming and ill give you an honest opinion.GOE

Ok give me some time and ill get on it. count me in its been a while since i have been involved. lol

Mazda RX7. Or my Honda Civic Type R Turbo!! God what a car! Muhahaha

No he/she cant mean their sig....Does he/she know how much talent there is here at T17 that might take them up on their challenge. He/she must have something else to post. Surely!!!!

Very nice. good use of the lines and lighting. Good blending too. Cant read the text very well though but i like the look you have gone for. good stuff.

Really. well it was first to 5. lol. Well thats fair enough i guess. Gets the votes in.

Well i dont know if thats this one over seen as is doesn't say above but i guess first to 5 is normally the done thing with like 3 entries. lol.

I love to see the simple tuts on here that have a really good effect when used properly. This will help the newbies to photoshop add some good text to there work. Good post.

My vote goes to Sm. Good use of lighting and i really like the flow of the text. True is does look more pro that the others. The render looks very sharp, well placed and clear compared to the other two. IMO thats what makes them look a bit unpro. Sm gets my vote.

I have to agree totally. A lot wrong but can easily be sorted with a bit of time. Follow what mike has said. Quality advice as always.

Funny thing is, some idiot would believe that and think they couldn't get the internet. lol
