    Wow, sweet criticism LeaksOne, thanks for that. I can definitely see why you would think I had no idea Ghost was already taken considering the last few sentences of my previous post.

    Does anyone have anything useful to say about the actual sketches maybe?

    If not, it's cool. I was just going to try and get some help from advanced artists.

    Let me reiterate something I said in my last post before wrapping this up. I understand Ghost has been used before. So have thousands of other names. I had already drawn up the sketches though before realizing this and was just hoping to get some feedback on them. Thanks again.

    listen you fucking idiot. if he was some local writer i wouldnt say anything but he a big fucking deal and everyone is guna say the same thing. you might as well write cope. id figure you'd have enough sense not to write that.

    Okay. Hostility..

    Situation: You don't really live in a "huge" city. You've seen graffiti here and there growing up at times and don't think much of it. Then one day you randomly get the urge to start trying it. You use the first name that pops into your head and that you like. You begin writing it and practicing with it.

    You get online and do some research a week or two later, and come to find out the name you chose to use has already been done by someone somewhere else.

    You then find a forum to post some of your pictures on. Even though you just found out someone else uses the alias you like you figure "what the hell I'm just going to post them anyways and see what people think for someone's first 'attempts' at graffiti."

    /endsituation

    Honestly, I figured I was just going to get flamed in the end. But still -_- ..fuck.

    well i would have put that same effort into thinking up a different name and sketching those out before posting on a graff site because regardless of what you say to defend your case people are guna point out that ghost is already a pretty big writer.

    but as far as crits. the ballpoint one needs to be simplified. the black oneliner(?) needs practice and better letter definition and the throw could be improved. the ghost as a o is kinda weak. and try not to use a chisel marker when outlining your throw

    Thank you, honestly, for the small review.

    I am already trying to think of another name btw but I really like working with those letters. Hmm.

    We'll see what happens.

    Ghost - constructive crit here - do simple letters don't even work on a throw yet because it is pointless til you understand your letter structure so simple like this:
    View attachment 550400

    then look for a new name, I hope you already are because some names are just totally off limits, writing Ghost is like writing Revok or Cope, work on making your lines less shaky and just put hours and hours into blackbook work before you even consider painting

    If you like the letters just rearrange them, it doesn't have to read Ghost or be a real word

    VEGA is also off-limits :)
    But really, do what Alts said, and just do simples, since I can hardly read some of it.

    Mawk - Like I said before, change the A and you're golden.

    Change the name, lose the breaks on the bars and go with key board letters that S is way out of proportion along with the E.
