Good idea. Like a Winners' Gallery.

In all honesty, for me something like that is a simple manipulation. I'm sorry that I offended you.

*rubs head* Alright, I'm sorry, that just really set me off.

Found some flames that I was satisfied with, and changed the text.

I might try one more redo.

Kuja - If you can, I think that you should try to get Eye Candy for some text effects. Would look badass.

Yeah. Plus, depending on what version of Photoshop he's using, if he is using photoshop, he can do layer styles on the lettering. It's not as quick as a handy dandy Eye Candy effect, but the effects tend to be better.

True, but Eye Candy does its effects for more than just text, which is nice.

I don't have Photoshop. I use an old PhotoStudio 2.0, and the text options are very limited.

You can use styles for more than just text too.

My first submission (which I will remove if I create another image I feel is superior) is an abstract digital piece created with Photoshop 6.

The rather obviously named Flaming Skull of Doom.

Looks great, but does it mean with the Halloween theme of the contest?

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2003-10-18 12:20am

Well, "sanguinary" means "bloodthirsty" and "consistant of blood," so the title basically means "blood moon." Also the primary colours used in its composition are orange, black, and purple; which are associated with Halloween.

I think it fits okay, personally.

Well, ask yourself this. If you saw that on the street, would you think Halloween? The title is inconsequential to the image and those colors are so bright for a something Halloween themed. Frankly, I don't see anything Halloween-y about it.

Looks like the end of a log to me.

Eeerrrrr, I'm getting dizzy.... O_o

j/k, looks cool, but not as halloweenish as one would hope.

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2003-10-18 01:03am

Well, it is an abstract piece...

I'll be replacing it if/when I make something I think is better, though.

D'you think you can crop the sides a bit? I mean where it's nothing but blackness. Not needed.

That flame looks just like the one they teach you how to do blue sfear

.

But yeah, it's cool. Needs some more stuff on it though..like a doom marine running away.

And noone's told me what colour to make my vamp-woman's dress yet either.

Other than that, *stares at picture, drooling* oooooo

Orange. To match your head

Kuja's right, that skull image has alot of negative space that it really doesn't need.

i´d use a nice sans serif font like "swiss" or something, the picture in the background is, hmm how can you say... nervous enough.
