A bit odd idea, but let's see how it goes. So I'll rate your artwork. (If you really want, you can rate others' too.) It'll be based off 5 levels.


Level 0: This means that it is REALLY bad. Notice lack of pretty much everything.

Example:
http://s16.postimage.org/4li7ap501/jio.jpg (http://postimage.org/image/4li7ap501/)
(Random thing I quickly made for this example 1 minute ago)
Yeah....

Level 1: Better than Level 0, but still bad. Notice better font and renders.
Example:
http://s18.postimage.org/nk34g1ydh/Channel_Icon.jpg (http://postimage.org/image/nk34g1ydh/)
(My first attempt at an avatar)

Level 2: Decent, but not amazing. Notice better font and background.
Example:
http://s9.postimage.org/nbujergt7/lunapic_133917868848111_36.jpg (http://postimage.org/image/nbujergt7/)
(My current signature, and current GFX skills. EDIT: It got cropped. Look at my sig for a better view)

Level 3: This is pretty much professional artwork. Notice better backgrounds, font, theme, and renders.

(If somebody is willing to supply an image this I'll show an example, 'cause I don't want to go into copyright issues. But for now, I'll just show a Level 3 signature shop.)

Example: http://nintendobuzz.com/showthread.php?t=2027

Level 4: Beyond amazing artwork. This proves you are more than a skilled artist if you can pull this off.


Example: http://s11.postimage.org/ds35v9p5v/Capture.png

(That was an example which was made by Ade.)

Also put if you are ok with me showing your artwork as an example below your submission. If this is a bonehead idea, I only need one or two people telling me that.

Before we begin, did you make that or not? I just have this odd feeling. Maybe it's just me.


If you didn't, it's considered Lv. Plagiarism.

If you did, then it's between Level 2 and 3.

Your top one is about a Level 3.
The bottom 2 are Level 2s.



If the jokes were around your actual abilities, you get a 2 as an overall user.

This "Level 4" is still not very good. I don't think this is a bad idea, but you have the wrong idea of what a good tag looks like. The examples in Spitty's Guide to All Things GFX are excellent. The ones you provided are all basic and visually unappealing, not to mention that they don't actually require that much skill to make. I like the idea, but you need to reevaluate your standards.

@ssshaymin
Borders are nice when used tastefully, but look bad otherwise. I would keep it to a simple solid color border or get rid of it completely. The background is just brushing. This is a phase most gfx artists go through, but I would recommend that you branch out from brushes and experiment with different methods of making backgrounds. Fractal and text both stick out and look bad, get rid of them or try and make them blend better. No flow or depth to speak of, lighting and blending are also nonexistent. You'll need to move on from brushing and render-pasting to get better. Try and blend things together to make a cohesive tag.

Let's just say that if my work is better than yours, then you automatically suck.

Mind if I rate it?

Here is what I see: A cyan colored background, renders of Black and White Kyurem, painting with a white fuzzy brush/Gaussian blur, Pokemon logo text, and a stock texture that looks like cloth. Honestly, I think it looks pretty bad. There is nothing in the background other than one color. The renders are just...there. I find it hard to make a signature look good with two renders, so I would suggest that you use one render until you feel like you're ready to do two. In more advanced terms, there is like nothing of anything. No flow, no depth, no lighting, no element that are supposed to be shown in a signature.

I think that you should watch/read some tutorials and try to be resourceful. Try finding some C4Ds and fractals (preferably by greentunic, but any fractals will do). Using the Filters in Photoshop/GIMP is also a good way to make your work better. Overtime, doing these things will be natural, especially if you're already used to adding more and more layers to make your work elaborate.

You can't please everyone.

I'd give Yoshi a 2.5, because I can easily pull off most of that with a skill of Level 2, but you added in something more than the bare essentials making it better, but behind that, you can see a Level 2 signature easily.

Only thing I can really disagree with is the part where it supposedly looks like a piece of cloth. Also, this wasn't a signature, but that probably has absolutely nothing to do with the artwork itself.
Thanks for the assistance,

So...I tried doing sone gfx after quitting it a long time ago. This is the result. Can anyone rate this and give some constructive criticism if possible?

I'd give that a 3.7. Charmander blended well into the background which was a fitting choice. Only problem is that you can barely see the text in the corner which says "XKoreanLP"

It's certainly better than a 3 but it's not a 4 like this:

X: 3.7, cant see text. But, you should open up a sig shop again.

CP: 4. Absolutely great.

Pretty good, considering how long it's been since closing your shop. You should open it up again. I rate it a 3.8 which would be a 4 if you could actually read the text.

RS, I stated that was NOT my work. I was showing off somebody else's to X to show what a 4 should look like. I can't do better than a 2.
