A try at new art...intro'ing the Foreign Legion

[TimTheEnchantor]

Well I decided to try a different approach here for grunge...I took some pulp fiction from different sources etc and added my own little touches to it...

If you can guess the subject, its:

Join the foreign legion! Fight crime(the guy in the corner), get pretty girls! and have fun doing so!

Thats the slogan

Here's the link to the gallery page:
Foreign Legion (You can post comments here, as well)

Here's the image:

lol!! That's great dude. I love it. I wouldn't call it grunge though, it's more of a billboard advertisement or movie poster. Well, that's at least what it looks like. Keep it up man.

 

[TimTheEnchantor]

Yeah its a new style i'm getting into..I used some grunge elements..but it was an experiment, and I liked how it came out.

good job. nice effect.

you definetely could clean this up better and i hope that is as obvious to you as it is to me.

-some blending issues by her lefter and righter forehead
-halos....
-bottom typography is weakly blending .try putting it on higher layer

 

[TimTheEnchantor]

Worked on most but ...

what halos?

also on the image quality, I cant help it...I have the quality at max..

its just due to the age of the photos...the ink was blopped in some areas, and it is about 40-60 yrs old lol


also it is the scanner..so i cant help on much of the quality..i am just wondering on the idea

 

[mr. roshi]

dont know what halos are

halos happen when the edges of images that are taken from somewhere still have a bit of the crap that was next to the thing u cut out.

err im trying to be clear but it aint working very well so heres an example: http://tony.radio-esperanto.com/web_docs/wdesign/ch19_07.htm

[TimTheEnchantor]

Ahh! alright roshi. (fyi, i have contacts, and I dont wear em on the comp )
