Im lovin this piece, Only thing I can crit on is the right side is a little bright but not eye blinding :fight: also the determination is kind of hard to see towards the middle and the font for the realism is pretty bad. Other then that very nice job, To bad you didnt save the .psd ;(

Well, first of all this sig violates the forum AUP like crazy.

But, it is an interesting concept. Though, it does lack a solid foundation, the layout being almost morbid to an extent. I'll explain. It goes from an almost dirt road like texture (which works), enters this giant blood splat, and ends with the cold/death looking texture of what you consider realization.

5/10

3 points for the metaphorical aspect, 2 for the effort you put into it.

eek, tis not a sig :O, i chose the shape because it was ment to be an intense transition of emmotion going from left to right

and for the imagery which was the point in this thing, basically it starts with hazy confusion and fear, it then goes towards determination which becomes intense red(anger/pain/passion) and black which results conflict which was the concept of the peice but after trying various things, it didnt come out too well, then it hits a dark wall and all becomes clear moving to a peacful and light blue. that was the idea anyway :(....... but yeah, i didnt know wat to choose for the font for realisation i wanted sumthing which looked peaceful and light.

:p it Was just sumthin i felt i needed to do before i lost the concept in my head and forgot about it

hey i find this piece to be really true.. it speaks to me... but the only crit i would give you is to make the red transition into the black a lil more subtle-er if that made sense... dont let your determination fade! you're really good!!! just keep trying ya? good luck davidddddd~

I don't really like the color combinations, how it goes from darkish and yellow. to bright blue. there are too many color gradients on it in my oppinion. I do like the different textures on the background, the brushes used etc. so I give it a 5/10 ;)

PS, the idea you put behind it is quite good. but not enough to save the 5/10 score for me ;)
