Yeah, I actually like it.
And then an abstract tag for an SotW, don't bother telling me the soft brush lighting looks bad, I was in a rush.

I actually like how they both look. The execution on the first one was bad though. Maybe just fill in the missing spots of green, and it'll look beastly!
ITs too heavily weighted to the left, and the colors don't agree with me. If you didnt say it was Cudi then I wouldnt know who it was. The text is in a bad spot, and have two conflicting focal points is bad cause it makes the eye stand still and not move around. You have a while, keep working at it and you will get to a Novice status in my book.

The point of the tag, is that it's a color clash, Swift. The 'Clash' of Cudi?
Remember to give him some good points, XD.

Lol swift, sometimes it pays to read the topic title. I have the clash of colors and multiple focals on purpose; if you've ever listened to Cudi's music, you know he spends a lot of time talking about being high.
Also, getting Novice status in your book must be impossible, unless you have two or three ranks below it. I've been around this GFX game for over 5 years now, and I've been High Novice for most of them.
But thanks for the comments, in any case.

But anyway, here's an edited version, where I didn't use that one gradient map:
Sorry, I just didn't like it, I thought there is a lot he needed to improve on. And no its not impossible to get a novice.. you just got to follow basics in design.. Like the above stated... not two focal points cause that should be no where in a design except in odd numbers, to help make it asymmetrical. I don't care how long you have been in the " game" means nothing to anyone if cant produce something worth while.
@ Urban - IDC if its called **** on a brick, should atleast look good.
Second one is better, but still no two focal point thing. Would make it look A LOT better. I didnt even really notice the shapes until you got rid of the Horrid gradient. Those are nice, they add nice curvature to the piece and give it equilibrium add more on the right side.

Having more than one focal point isn't always a bad thing. I admit that this wasn't the best use of multiple focals, but there's no rule saying that two focals is a bad thing.
And the double focal can't and won't change in this one, unfortunately.

I hate to keep fueling this discussion, but I disagree about "you won't see two focals in a design unless it's symmetrical".
Case in point: http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/129/1/4/Haute_Couture_2_by_deraseum44.png
But otherwise, I agree.

not case in point, posting a picture from a deviant at deviant art proves nothing, but nothing is fueling this... I am sorry dude, but even you posting that shows that your wrong. Not all of those pictures have two focals, but have a lot of odd numbered ones which I said, and a couple are two, but are symmetrical, which I said, and she has minimal amount of ones that are like yours. Case in point those specific ones are bad for design, like I said something that your paying for to be designed for someone in the real world, you wont see that stuff. For artistic purposes, sure its great, but your not gonna get a lot of praise from it. Keep working on it bud, you'll get there someday.

Lol ok, I'll be sure to keep that in mind. *thumbs up*
good, that will be great advice to take into the future with, with any luck you wont have to spend another five years at a novice level hopefully you can push up to the next level. And no novice is not bad, there is beginner and amateur before novice. so your high up there, you just need some training.

Actually, "amateur" isn't a skill level at all, and most rankings stopped using "Beginner" after NSL dropped it a few years ago lol.
The current ranking system is (if I haven't forgotten, it's been about two years since I got ranked) Novice>Moderate>Intermediate>Semi-Pro>Professional.

didn't say that i cared what others thought, and you shouldnt either. Scales should be personal not community large group bias. SO I dont care what other scales are, i go by my own and how I view and artist and their work. Which is what most people see art as, and individual personal experience to evaluate. Just dont care that much dude what people say, i have been around forums enough to know that your getting agitated by what i say. And it shouldnt be like that, should embrace advice full hardly and not sarcastically.

I only got agitated when you said I could get Novice if I kept working, because I assumed you were following the generally accepted ranking system, where Novice is the lowest level (in which case you would be patronizing me, which I absolutely despise).
After that, I was against you until you said that Amateur and Beginner were below Novice in your system, which is when I (at least in my mind) calmed.

My personal ranking system is Amateur>Professional (and I'm easily an amateur).
But yeah lol I agree, the ranking system now is entirely messed up and every ranker out there pretty much dictates your rank based on how well you can whore the current trends.

Swift, you've got some ****ty theories bro. The two focal points IN THIS TAG makes your eyes move around more, because you're exploring to see what's going on on both sides, and how it's evened out.
I don't care if you're called god, don't get *****y with me.
Don't only complain about a piece, it's called CnC for a reason.
I do like the second one better though, and agree on that.

Your right Urban it is called CnC... and CnC does not refer to Candy and Commend. Its Critique and Comment. And no, you can find what i said in any College level Text book of Design. I never said I was god. I am a person that loves art and design. So I am gonna be harsh in my critiques because i like things to look good. Everything that I say is to only improve the piece, not to diminish the time and effort someone put into it.
