.....contrary to what you may believe, It sounds like you dont know wtf your talking about..... @erk yikes, your boy gots no bars. You should redo that for him
did you read the quoted words homie? or did you just read what I said and think it was directed towards something else? I get the whole "help people out attitude", and its all good when its small things like what you posted about soars shit, but uh maybe slow it down and take crits you've got and worry about your own work until your good enough to actually help... and I hope you appreciate how incredibly nice im trying to be . Its hella annoying seeing people crit someones shit and tell them its good and nothing else when both parties shit straight sucks... it builds up egos and bah blah blah all that bullshit
Nah I know what I can and cant due. And to be honest crits on here are pretty much opinions. I stopped posting my sketches for now because I know where I am, and am not fucking up. Until I feel my shits perfect, in my eyes, I guess i don't need outside help. I'll post here and there to see if I'm on the right track, but till then I was just trying to crit, so I'm helping. and his peice was whack but he liked what he did. I don't like the fact that he put random letters all over the page. I didn;t like his structure or the way his bars didn't attatch in random areas but I was at an understanding that he did so I didn't mention it. So all I had left to say was that it looked like a 4 year old collored in his peice. If you got a problem with a crit I give feel free to correct me or give him better advice because no doubt you're probably farther along than me with your shit. But it doesn't get shit done to try and scrutinize me, ya feel? Also tasty I see what you see, I'm not trying to be picky cause i see that i's an S, it can pass for a B, the last entention on that E though, looks like a little B.
I know some things you can and cant do and spelling is not one of them. You truly think telling him to spend even more time on his coloring is gonna help?! Critting on here for those who listen only helps when the crits have value. It aint like im here to give you shit dude, and I definetly aint here to try and correct you or some shit but it also dont "get shit done" to say "you scribbled in your 3d" and just post crits which in your case are just your opinions, but I do come here to converse and peep game at pics and help those who listen, and when I do I would like it if I dont have to go through a bunch of bullshit posts to find one where the person knows what theyre talking about
So ribcage would you mind giving me some solid crits? All I got so far is "I don't see a single letter, that should be enough crits for you." "Don't add extensions until you can rock a simple with style" (which was useless cause he's only seen that one piece that I did so he has no way to judge if I can rock a simple with style) and don't scribble in your coloring which I only feel I did in the crimson red parts on the extensions due to running out of my red marker and the poppy red in the 3D which was for the same reason, a dying marker... I take any constructive crits but it seems like this section of the site has gone to shit and there's very few members giving solid advice because all I see over and over again is "do keyboard letters..." which for a lot of people that applies but for some people they are past that and for people who just put out way too complicated shitty work with no bar consistancy, 3D all over the place, and absolutely no concept of letter structure, constantly trying to tell someone better than them that they need to go back to (in my case) doing pieces like "SEAZ" it's annoying as fuck and I just want solid crits to improve my work from...
[Broken External Image]:http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/9535/dafugg.jpg This puts the icing on the cake as far as why I found that crit offensive...I mean look at the star and the asterisk especially much less the scribbles inside each letter. THAT is how a 4 year old would color in a piece. The only place that I see where you could find that my 3D looked "scribbled in" is the red that outlines the 3D which was only due to how low on ink the red pen was...other than that I think I know how to color in the lines so thank you for trying but your crit was basically useless...Oh and just because I've passed the point of keeping every bar the same width and keeping my letters in keyboard font doesn't mean that my letter structure is shit just FYI.
@tasty what ive told you before applies to these letters as well, you need to make smooth transitions. I.e. make your bars connect a little smoother. Its hard to see on that one cause theres a lot of sketching lines still on it, but areas that connect like the extension from top E to D need to be either triaght or curved, pick one, dont make it straight and then at the last inch or so curve it in, also extensions like that dont make sense... That extension comes out of nowhere from that letter, work on the extensons from parts of the letters that have ends and then later down the road you can find places of movement in other parts of letters and add extensions there...if that makes sense. @aces my comp is really slow and I already started this reply so I cant go back a page so bump/re-post your pic and ill crit a little later @dafugg I meant well lol you shoulda chilled, but anyways that spelling thing made me lmao so I couldnt resist... spelling in a post clearly doesnt mean shit in any way...
^^thanks, im mainly just experimenting with connections and extensions, but i'll take that into consideration. finished, still cant find my camera reads BASOE, screwed up the O and made it look like a D
I'd make the bottom bar on the B a bit bigger so it doesn't get confused for an R, The left bar of the A disappears and the same thing happened with the E so work on that, like you said, the O looks like a D, I don't really like that little B like extension, the little bits that come off in only like 3 places seem very out of place for the piece, the 3D could use some work in just a few places and lastky (although it is a very small detail) the blue bubbles don't seem to fit either but if you wanna keep it then I would suggest still outlining the whole piece rather than just where the bubbles are (ie. the top of the B, A and E. On the good side I'm glad to see you using bars even if they aren't the best I can tell you used them.
@aces aight here we gooo...First things first, your going to want to thicken up your outline lines, making them thicker after you lay em all down can help you fix bar widths and staightness of the lines and all that jazz, makes it look like you used a ruler when you didnt ya dig? now Starting with zee K, the left vertical bar doesnt match up with itself and the right leg is kinda weird lol. The A isnt that bad, if you thickened the outline lines up itd be an aight A. The R is deformed, almost looks like an A, the right leg is fused with the top, making it look weird, so you need to cut something out inbetween to exentuaute the top from the bottom. The blue things coming out of all the letters are wack except for the ones coming from the middle of the C and the middle of S. On the C tho the blue thing is right in the center making it look like an E ya digg? I think what you were trying to do was make it look like a C with the orange and a C with the blue and it worked, but when you look at em togethor it lloks like an E because that middle blue bar changes it from a C to an E (C+- makes E). The S gets pretty thick at the bottom...idk really what else to say for that... But uh yeah, breaking away from keyboard letters doesnt mean adding extensions! Cut out all that blue stuff and the minor extensions in yellow and your letters still break away from that simple keyboard letters. You can have good styled letters with absolutely no extensions at all. The yellow extensions are pretty subtle tho, so if your dying to do them go more for things like how you put a little kick on the bottom right leg of A and start with minor things like that, and then the larger more extravegant ones will come to you later but when they do you'll know where and where not to put them @tasty aces is right, do a second outline/fourcefield or whatever yall call it on here to all your letters with a color that will contrast with your background color, itll mke it look better
