    Your colouring and sketch capabilities are clearly extremely good, but the letters there seem kind of weak. Id think about fattening them up abit. Youd lose the 'japanese' style of lettering to fit the samurai theme but it might be worth it.

    you dont understand the concept of 3D at all. You need to do simple, keyboard like letters before you attempe to abstract them like this.

    yeah that 3d is making my head hurt, you need a reference point. but like sbal said, you need to get down letter structure before anything.

    aight so before you hate, i dont paint... ever lol. i got home from work and randomly decided to do this cuz i am feeling somewhat depressed and i decided i wanted to paint something and i wanted to do something dark and evil and this came to my mind. i wasnt too concerned on how it came out. i did it for me and me only
    and i realize this isnt really graff related but i posted it here get over it
    i used acrylics, paint marker, bent bobby pin since i lacked a paint brush, torn sock.

    Thanks man. The projects already done. So i can't really faten the letters up now. But I'll keep it in mind for my next piece. I've been doing alot more characters lately so it may take awhile. But a few ideas for a fresh theme or a word would be awesome as hell.

    its comin off the top of the A, kinda hard to tell becuase i had the shadow from the K on it so and i made it pretty dark so it looks like its not connected to anything

    so i wanted crits but i really didnt get any.you guys are lame.

    i know how shit goes,crits for crits or whatever.so ima critique some of yall niggras


    SAMURAI-lord jesus,where do i start haha.it looks obvious that this is your first few months,because its very similar to how i started out.first off your letters are overlapping too much,before i read your post i thought it said sakurai...your m is almost non distinguishable
    becuase of the S's overlap.space them out more so that the individual letters are better able to be recognized.the s as the A's middle bar is a bad look,its its own letter and shouldnt have to depend on other letters making up its bars.also the i is unrecognizable because its so small.dont trip just practice more


    NYNJA.i cant read it.i think you should go back to simples until you have a better understanding of the letters,honestly i think that you hsould find someone who knows what their doing with 3ds.i cant even do them.my homies can though,in the end it takes alot of practice and alot of patience,but if thats the style your wanna do i suggest you work on making the letters more pronouncable.really just keep practicing.

    NEWT-nice little simple.you should make sure that your individual bars are more consistent
    in thickness,they look cattywampus,im not saying to make your letters more rigid or block like
    but the actual bars them selfs should be be equal in consistency the whole lenght of the bar

    really it looks like something that will correct itself with more practice,your on the right track though.

    The light brown part is like a bannerish thing. I was just messing around with it, and the blue parts is a swarm of faceless ghosts.

    Of course you can haz critz now. honestly didnt look back to this thread till just now so I totally missed your post. I can see what your talking about regarding the letters and it shows in your work. the extention dipping from the end of the "R" is alright I'd just make the one on the "K" go the opposite way you know inward to match. And the o and c work but come off a bit weak. Looking back you used the extention from the "k" to make the 1 so maybe you could just use the back end to tie it inward and leave the front one as is. Hope it helps. And no not my 1st few months. Just screwing around trying to make something out of nothing.
