Description Well, didn't look as good as I thought it would be but then again, I guess it's alright. Just another abstract.

I can't do 2D, I get really drustrated when everytime I think 2d is needed on a piece of artwork. I don't want to spread it over with brushes downloaded from others. Really need some tips but I don't know where to start. the text in this one definitely look outta place. But the comments looks like this piece didn't really need 2D muhahaha so yeah.

I guess this has a lil stellar looking atmopshere to it, I wasn't really clearly sure what I wanted to achieve in this piece, it was quickly done and I'm direction less. I think I need some kind of vacation, but hell I'm on vacation right now, still can't create anything good. I don't know why, maybe just an artist block. but I'm afraid, cause I got all these collab I need to finish, it's like at least 1 person ask me for collab everyday O.o don't know. but I need to find my self, find my style and start over new.

Edit: I changed this abit. Thanks to nightingale for the text tips. Really helpful.

Contrast is nice, its one thing I really do like about it. I see you also made the structure and form of the stellar object somewhat more balanced and easier for the eye to follow. The text is the main thing that bugs me, I think it would have done nicely if you just put a black border around it and put the text in there, give it a simplistic feel on the outside while having this awesome piece on the inside.

Don't worry, you will get out of your block, it just takes a little bit of time and practice for you to open yourself up to something else, I keep telling myself that, though its happening very ....very...slowly.

Looks great, keep it up.

This piece fascinate me. The kind of purple color inspire me love by a night where we can see stars. A luminosity embrace our hearts to tell us to never forget who we are and the people who love us. A passion who describe ourselves and our personnality. Repercussion of eternal love for century's. Congratulation again !!
A word to describe it : Majestuosity

Don't worry, 2d is crap and generally ruins most pieces.
This is a very nice piece ! keep working on those tremendous skills of your's.

Nightingale01 [2004-07-04 13:54:26 +0000 UTC]

2D is not actually needed to make an image a polished piece of art. It depends on the artist. There are those who can make an image feel complete and solid with out even the slightest addition of 2D, take a look at ekud. I think your art looks fine and complete without any 2d. I can give you a tip about typo. Use 'fixed' and plain fonts. What I mean by fixed is that all the letters start and end on the same level. Having all caps almost guarantees that for most fonts. For example, simple typography like this would work much better:

PROJECTED FRESTILE (hehe.. sorry, could barely read that. )
ASTARTEE
TWILIGHTEMBRACED.SOPHIE

And white would work better for a colour than purple here. Pretty much basic typo design but it works great.

That aside, I haven't already said how amazing this is. You make the render and brushing feel a part of each other. ^_^ wicked job Sophie. ^_^

Awesome, much better than the pre release version you sent me, I see you touched some areas up abit to give it more of a deffinitive feel. Looks great, the colors are so vivid and lush. The text went along great with it, looks as if the piece went fine without any major 2D. Great job, keep it up.
