Flip's art

hey there... just trying to get my name out there... check out my stuff:

http://flipsideshooze.deviantart.com

tell me what you think! you can leave comments here or on deviant art... the latter is preferred if you like the stuff, pass the link on

the latter is preferred

I'd just like to point out that posting comments else where is not only a waste of space on this forum but also robs its users of important information that may be posted here.

Im not going to assume anything yet (not trying to cause trouble either), i just want to make sure your here for the right reasons (ie: learning vs. promotion/popularity on dev. art)

As to the work, its ok. The hard part (with stock) is figuring out how much you've changed vs. what things orig. looked like. Also you seem to like text quite a bit. Maybe you should get into typography and do a few pieces based around that.

Welcome!

yeah, sorry... reading it again, it did kinda come off as and advertisement... my bad...

NP, man.

As for your art, the photo manipulations are nice, but the text kind of ruins it.

Nos.

I think you should work on the details. I can see the lines (and the places you slipped up) where you painted over with a different color. Small little mistakes like that can really change an opinion about a piece.

welcome to the forum.
is that mya? looks like her. i have to disagree about the manip being well done. first, there's not that much to it. second, your overlay colors have a very hard edje, like the red eyes and lips and theyre not blended well. they just look like they were smacked on top of the image and not even touched up. i do like the colors though, but the rest needs work.

also welcome to the forum. You're 15, so it's good work.

The type does need some work. Typography would be a good course to look into. Whether it be at some community college over the summer, or by looking at some sites online.

As a style, your work can be effective, but you may want to expand your horizons a bit.

When I was 15, I didn't even know what photoshop was, so you're doing great for your age.

"You're 15, so it's good work. "

Age shouldn't have anything to do with it :/
I'm sure there's a lot of skill in the younger generation. Moochan comes to mind (I believe he's 16?). It all really depends on how devoted you are to learning.

I just noticed your new piece "reasons?". I think it's a step up from your last piece, goodjob on that. But there's a few things I'd like to comment on:

-sloppy >> I'm not sure how you do you work (there must be a dozen different ways to get those effects), but if you're working with layer masks I think you should go over and double check the details
-wrist cut (?) >> It didn't stand out at first, so I'd recommend maybe darkening it, giving it a less 'pink' look.
-lips >> I believe you gave the lips a darker pink outline to make it look like makeup (?), I don't think it goes well with the piece as a whole.
-eyes >> This one's last, because I'm pretty sure you like the eyes being different colors (all of your work seem to follow the same flow), but I don't perticularly like it. That one nice soft blue eye would look great in a pair
