This is amazing, mate! Just randomly looking for some tutorials and stumbled upon this. I am going to be trying this. I have looked through some of your stuff; your style is amazing ! I have been working with graphics for nearly six years and can tell you I am not a wiz with stuff such as that

alekSparx In reply to hungrrahy-hippos [2012-03-10 07:21:14 +0000 UTC]

thank you I am glad that you like it XD
I hope you enjoy doing it ;D
and I must thank you again (: lately I have been trying with some of my stuff because I am building up a portfolio this year

hungrrahy-hippos In reply to alekSparx [2012-03-10 20:17:25 +0000 UTC]

Are you apart of any graphic sites? Ultimately you could see how you could progress with basic signature and avatars even more-so than what you do know and it could help build up with larger artwork too

alekSparx In reply to hungrrahy-hippos [2012-03-12 16:03:51 +0000 UTC]

only apart of deviantArt and that's is :c
but a lot of my things have been spread out through a lot of graphic sites like my styles and stuff (:

hungrrahy-hippos In reply to alekSparx [2012-03-12 18:02:43 +0000 UTC]

I'd recommend trying some signature sites; I'm apart of two if you'd consider joining them? I don't want you to think this as advertisement lol xD I just think you're really good, like kick ass good.

It'd be cool to expand my knowledge with someone else, but my fiance sadly doesn't want too much to do with graphics xD She "has no creativity" (what she says over, and over, and did I mention over? )

alekSparx In reply to hungrrahy-hippos [2012-03-13 10:34:21 +0000 UTC]

I would join but I hardly have enough time as it is for deviantArt lately D:
what do you do on a signature site anyways ?

it's up to you d: I really don't mind, I try and respond to everyone whenever I get on deviantArt from time to time

hungrrahy-hippos In reply to alekSparx [2012-03-18 13:20:58 +0000 UTC]

On graphic sites you really just perfect your skills. They have resources there, like stock photos, renders, C4Ds, guides, etc. It's a way for you to post up your artwork and get critiques on it and explanation of things that could be improved, if anything, etc.

And yeah, I try to respond when I see stuff xD!

alekSparx In reply to hungrrahy-hippos [2012-03-20 14:22:54 +0000 UTC]

I would want to learn some more C4D but I am incredibly tied up at the moment and I dont think I will have time D: would be awesome to get extra feedback on my work though

Takes me forever to respond because I hardly go on deviantArt nowadays because my course is so demanding :c

hungrrahy-hippos In reply to alekSparx [2012-03-20 14:28:58 +0000 UTC]

Sorry to hear that D: In all honesty, I'm usually on deviantART a few times a week. And yeah, I totally get you on being tied up with other stuff :/ I'm a full time college student and am recovering from a surgery and when I am recovered, going to get another job xD So I'll be up to my eyeballs in work work work work xD

alekSparx In reply to hungrrahy-hippos [2012-03-24 06:18:28 +0000 UTC]

oh wow surgery D: are you all okay ;3 ?
yuh I know what you mean, I need to get a new job too... work gave all my hours to trainees and im like WHUT? been working their for 2 years you'd think they would let me keep my hours -.-
working 24/7 whether it's a job or school work sucks ):

hungrrahy-hippos In reply to alekSparx [2012-03-26 22:41:53 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, everything went ok. I had a cyst on my neck D:
And yeah.. Work sucks horribly ;; Between school and work, I'm just up to my eyeballs in even more work (school work, mostly). I was up until ~6AM working on a report on Saturday. Five pages dissecting a poem that was incredibly short... Ack!

alekSparx In reply to hungrrahy-hippos [2012-03-28 06:30:51 +0000 UTC]

oh wow! I hate doing reports so much, that's why I do graphic design ;D actually this whole week I didnt even go to college because I was just so drained... I am going to get in so much trouble but if it means recovery for my body I guess it's okay

i'm sure it will be. a tut like this can easily work for photomanipulation.

alekSparx In reply to boot-cheese-3000 [2012-03-12 16:07:27 +0000 UTC]

I plan to do something similar to this effect with photomanipulation soon enough like a hardcore design but my life is like mega busy now and it sucks D:
I had a good run for like 3 weeks on dA uploading stuff weekly XD!
