Yet ANOTHER graphics thread

Here is the first.

I really like this one: the picture itself, the colors, the textures. It looks wonderful the way it is, and putting text on it might disrupt the fluidity, but it looks like the sort of thing that would look good with text.

:3 You know how much I like this one. The coloration is great, and the font and text placement are stellar.

I like them both, and I like that you used some of the ideas I had for the first, but the second one wins. The first is tense and contrasty, but the second is softer, more natural. More human. Dreamy.

**THIS GRAPHIC CONTAINS EPISODE SPOILERS**

I like what you did with it, color-wise, but I feel that the text is a little out of place, just sort of stuck on there. I can't really think of any way I would change it, though.

Woo-hoo, hurrah for improving coloring techniques! This one looks awesome. I adore it. You took it from cold and dark to soft warmth and quiet. I like what you did with the text: font, color, placement. Like Lila pointed out, you're making good use of negative space. But I really, really am in love with the colors of this one.

Monochrome was the only way to normalize the colors on this one, so good choice. However, due to the nature of the image, having Amy and Rory half-focused in the foreground makes it harder to realize the focal point is the Doctor, even though he's in sharp focus. Therefore, I would suggest upping the contrast a little bit or maybe the shadows or both (it looks like you're going for 'edgy' here more than 'subtle'), and then doing a focus brush over the foreground to blend it out a little more. There are other cool things you could try, but they would take too long to explain here. Maybe I can show you sometime.

5) I love the black and white effect! BUT, it's a perfect set up for words, and there's nothing. Feels a tad empty 9-10

Thank you for all the compliments, Hyper. I'm glad you appreciate my work! Yes, that one does seem a bit odd without text, only I couldn't get any text to look right on it. I decided that I'd rather have no text than text that looked tacky and out of place. xD

All your recent stuff is beautiful as usual, Miss R!! I don't watch Doctor Who so I looked at the one that has spoilers. Even though I don't watch the show, I really like it... it's well-composed. I love how you made use of the negative space by putting the text there.

Also, early congrats on winning the latest contest Your submission was fantastic!!

Thank you so much, Lila!

As usual they're all awesome, I love the spoilery one.

Thanks. ^.^

Yes... In that case, I essentially was just being lazy. I tried and tried to get text to look good, but did not succeed, and decided to just give it up. xD I might have figured out something if I'd been more inventive and spent more time on it.

Yes, that sounds like it would improve it. Thanks for all of the compliments and critique!

Today, I've got graphics made from two Doctor Who episodes, since I forgot to post the ones from last week.

From "A Town Called Mercy", I've got some avvies. I wanted to work with some awesome landscape photos, but I couldn't find them on the internet. Ah, well. I'll buy the series set eventually, and get screen captures galore. =D

I've got two Amy avvies which are just a tiny bit different:

[Original image]

And an avvie of The Doctor in a Stetson!

[Original image]

Now, here are the ones from this week's marvelous episode, "The Power of Three". *happy sigh* Again, I couldn't find many of the photos I would have liked to work with, but this is what I've got.

I always just love the colors on your graphics, I could look at them all day. ;-) (I added a nose to my smiley. Just for my rooommate who complains about my nose-less smileys... XD)

Here is the original image.

Squeeness! xD I love the way you colored the avvies. You've really, really improved. :3 I like the second Amy avvy better than the first. The color looks cleaner.

Doctor avvy: *shockawe* It looks so gooood. x3

The Power of Three (first): It's good, but not your best work. The font and color are good, but the overall piece doesn't seem as imaginative and creative as your stuff usually is. (Which is a rather backhanded compliment. xP) However, I don't dislike it. It just can't compare with your awesome avvies up there.

TPoT (second): The extra color doesn't work very well here. The saturation is good, but the warm tones clash with the overall coolness. I like the illumination, but otherwise the texture is distracting.

 

[ahyperdude]

, looking nice! I'll rate in order that you posted them

I'm loving these! I really like the colors and style that you added (in comparison with the original), and after trying to decide which I liked better, I decided I couldn't choose They each get a 10-10

The next doctor one is really nice! I think you chose the perfect style to capture, and caried that out magnificently! 10-10

I really like the "Postcard" look, but 1) I'm not so sure it matches the picture, 2) Maybe it would have been nicer if the words were white, or something more classy. 7-10

There isn't too much done with this one, but what you did was positive. The only thing it may need is some words, but I can see how that would be hard to fit in 9-10

 

[MissReepicheep]

Thanks for the critique, you three!

Hyper, I tried white text, but then it just brought out how orangey the picture was, so I pulled out color from the image instead. Still, I see why you would suggest it.

I have now watched "The Angels Take Manhattan", the episode in which the Ponds, who have been the companions for the past two seasons, departed. *snifflesnorflesob* It was heartbreaking yet wonderful, and I made lots of graphics. Today I am going to post the innocuous, non-spoilery ones, and I'll link to the others tomorrow, for I've got lots to share.

I made two of these, and the first really seemed bare in the background, so I added a background texture on the second. However, I feel like it's kind of out of place, and kind of ugly. xD Thoughts?

[Original image]

I really liked this next picture, but couldn't think of text to put on it. Plus, there wasn't really a good spot, and doesn't his face say it all?

With this graphic, again I did not know what kind of text to add or where to place it, so I thought it would be more appealing without.

[Original image]

Here's the last one for now.

[Zella]

I think this one is gorgeous. It's my favorite of these.

 

[MissReepicheep]

Really? Thank you. In that case, forget what I said about it being ugly. xP And honestly, I think I'd just been staring at it too long. Looking at it with a fresh perspective, it looks fine.

Now for more graphics! =D THESE CONTAIN SPOILERS! If you have not seen the episode, and intend ever to do so, please do not look at these. If you don't watch Doctor Who at all, and don't plan on doing so, go ahead and look at them, though you won't get the full effect without the story. xP These will be best appreciated by those who have seen the episode.

Also, please be considerate when commenting on the graphics. Be cryptic enough that I will know what you mean, but don't say "the one with such and such in it", because I really don't want the episode to be spoiled for anyone. Thank you so much!


I really like these two. I think I may prefer the large text in dark, but I can't really decide between them.

This graphic is not artistically amazing, but it's such a fun quote. I thought it was really neat how they made the Statue of Liberty into a weeping angel after so many people have made jokes about how it could be one, yet never comes to life because there's always somebody looking at it. xD

I really, really loved this scene. *sniffles* I made two separate graphics out of it, and then beneath there is a collage with images from that scene. There is no text, however, because there was neither a place nor words to express it all. *more sniffles*

I cried so hard in this scene that it isn't even funny. There weren't just tears in my eyes. I'm talking heavy sobs... My poor mother thought I'd lost my mind, even though I'd sort of warned her that I was going to be emotionally unstable after watching this episode.

Here we have two different versions of a collage I made. I prefer the second, with the text all together in one spot, even though it's awfully small. I couldn't make the collage itself any larger because of image quality issues, and thus the text had to be tiny.

http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc445/Panda_Incognito/TheStoryofAmeliaPond-2.jpg

This scene was such a perfect ending to the fabulous, heart-breaking episode. Oh, Steven Moffat, why did I ever doubt you? You always write the best episodes, even if I dread them and think that they'll be too tragic to bear. The beauty and hope of the end, in spite of all that happened, is why I love Doctor Who so much.

I like the first one but it bothers me that the top text touches the bottom text, it might bother me less with a different font.

Love that line.

I think you should make a collage with that first line with alllllllllllllllll the different times Rory has done just that.

And the rest just speak for themselves. Well done.

 

[MissReepicheep]

That is a really excellent idea! I shall have to do that sometime. ^.^

Thanks for all the critique. I love getting your comments on my stuff.

It's been a long time since I've made any graphics, but I was eager to make some with some screenshots from "The Snowmen", the Doctor Who Christmas special. I went to my photo editing website and learned that one now has to pay a subscription fee to use most of my favorite effects. Oh, well. xP Given that limitation, these aren't as nice as they could be, but I thought I would post them regardless.

This one is a fun one, I think, even though the font doesn't quite fit. (You guessed it... The better ones are subscriber-only. xP)

Original image

I did practically nothing with this one but make it a little darker, but I like the picture, so I'm still going to post it.

Original image

I like this one. I think it's pretty, and was happy with how I was able to counteract the blue of the original.

This quote amused me. ^_^ It's not exactly spoilery, but if you have not yet watched the episode and are very sensitive about wanting to be surprised, you may want to wait.

[Zella]

Very nice, D! Especially for having lost a lot of your effects. I especially like the first one - the picture goes perfectly with the quote. And I really like what you did with the colors on the two with Clara and the Doctor.

Those are all beautiful! I love the colors.

Oh, and I've been meaning to ask, could you do a request for me?

 

[MissReepicheep]

Yeah, this is what I get for not logging in for two weeks. xD I'm so sorry! I'd be happy to fill a request for you, if you're still interested.

 

[Rainshadow]

Hi, I'm too lazy to look at all the pages, but I was wondering if you had any graphics of the 9th or 10th Doctor? No particular reason, just curious. Your graphics are really good, by the way!

 

[GondorGirl]

Yeah, this is what I get for not logging in for two weeks. xD I'm so sorry! I'd be happy to fill a request for you, if you're still interested.

I am still interested. ^_^ If it's up your alley. Allow me to find the pictures...

All right, we all (well, those of us have been around for a while) know of my infamous avatar which originated from this picture

http://www.shillpages.com/dw/davisp22.jpg

I've always wanted a banner to go with it. The only specifications I would like is just a picture the same general vibrant colors as the avatar.

These pages are a good place to find pictures, I have no preference for one picture, multiple pictures, angle, words or anything. Whatever you think would look good and match the avatar works for me.

Pictures of just the Fifth Doctor (where the original picture came from)
Random pictures from fifth doctor stories

That site is great for Doctor Who pictures but sadly is only really comprehensive into the ninth.

Thanks! I have none of Nine, and only a few of Ten. Here are the ten ones. I'm too lazy to dig up photobucket links, so I'm just attaching images.

 

[MissReepicheep]

*looks at last post* Those are big.

Here are some more. The first I made for a friend's birthday last March, and then there's a banner/avvie set I did for Zella long ago.

 

[MissReepicheep]

GG, I really like your request idea, but please, you are going to have to select photos for me. xD I don't have time to look through hundreds of links, and you'll have a better idea of which ones are worth looking at. Please, please pick out a selection of pictures yourself...
