Step Up Vol.2

Just when i thought i was down and out~!
Forgot to leave space for text :D ....

Game On Vol.2

Finally a picture i can feel proud of. It took some time to come but it CAME.
Had to go through a lot of reading for this. Many different techniques (curves, levels, fx) , interviews on established graphic designers, etc etc. But it all paid off. I really don't care what people think of it cause i love it.
Already my new wallpaper.

Feels lame now. Reading all this. the "pain", "different techniques" etc
Anyway, here's the improved version.



Click here to view the tutorial I wrote for making this design.

Step Up

Minimum effects Maximum improvement
Din't wanna add much filters and create a master piece but i think whatever i've managed should be rated as 'ok'.

Pirate

Too tired to write on this one. No big deal. Simple grunge styled picture inspired from one of those pirate of the Caribbean movies. Oh yah. D guy s a school friend :D

Annihilation

See here's the problem with graphic designing. You CANNOT take a break. You don't have to work on something new everyday but you have to keep in touch with your tools or you will loose control. This is exactly what happened. Download one of those addictive NFS games and you'll forget you ever were a designer.
But anyway, this was a much needed come back. I wont this as a big victory but a good step forward. I'm also planning to introduce the wallpaper REQ section where you leave a link of the picture you want in hi-res and ill upload it.
Waiting for feedbacks.
