First Try in Photoshop Elements 7

[Avex]

The following pictures will be my first tries in my new Photoshop Elements 7.

(There will be Updates)


The first picture is Tyrael during the destruction of the Worldstone (Background not available during this time).

Picture

 

[~Void~]

Needs some sharpness, and could you possibly resize it to 512x512 so I don't have to zoom out my browser just to look at it?

 

[Avex]

Its at 256x256 already.

 

[CombatTheWombat]

Its actually at like 1640x1024, whatver u say though.

 

[Kwah]

Its actually at like 1640x1024

Yeah. And REALLY blurry.

 

[ady_illidan]

Ugly hands... and fingers.

 

[The_Silent]

The outlines should be way darker, and you should probaly add more shading. But you don't need to sharpen it much if its really over 1000x1000 pixels. In the end, the icon is gonna end up 64x64 anyway.

 

[Kwah]

Thats an icon?!?!?!?

 

[The_Silent]

Thats an icon?!?!?!?

Well i just thought it was, if its wc3 related then what should it else be?

 

[Nudl9]

My eyes are bleeding, sharpen the picture!

 

[Kwah]

And make it smaller.

EDIT: Re-sized and dropped a sharpen on it to make it more visible. Hope this might help some.

EDIT EDIT: Critique wise, it's far too stubby, and there isn't really any shading.

 

[~Void~]

You put a sharpen on it? I think it needs about 10 more.

 

[Avex]

I know I messed up the chest/arm/hands.

Never was good with them, Instead I made.. an Ocean Wave at Night!

I think you wouldn't want this sharpened anyways:

 

[Kwah]

Yeah. I went light.

It's interesting. Looks like a lot of smudge, though. I think, although I'm sure 90% of the art community would disagree, that a well-placed filter would make it look so much better. I suggest Accented Edges (everything set to 1) or Cutout (with 8 levels and 1 simplicity).

Lots of Highlighting, Burning, Dodging and Smudging yes.

It still looks awesome.

Added some more glows:

 

[~Void~]

Looks worse now.

 

[Avex]

The holes? Yea.

 

[~Void~]

No, all of it. The shape, especially, and the blackness, and the overdone highlights.

 

[Avex]

Hmm.. true, I think it looks better as an Icon though.

 

[LiOneSS]

Eh. The anatomy, perspective, coloring and shading are messed up.

 

[Volvox]

Two words. Reference. Photo.

 

[Devine]

Two words. Reference. Photo.

That are 6 words! you nubcaek!

I liked the first version better.
And I think you should attach the images so we can see the resized version too and the screen aint so stretched.
