My Gallery!

[Ally]

Hi to all! I've been visiting this forum for a while now, but this is the first time I actually post.

I'd like to see what type of constructive criticism or feedback I can get from you guys on my work. For the moment its just my DA gallery (I don't have a site up yet, but I am in the process) which doesnt feature any of my student work, its just digital art I guess you can call it?!

Really nice work there Ally. You've got a great sense of colour throughout your gallery. I also like the way that you have a wide variety of pieces that are different but yet have a definite decorative style running through them.

I love 'Lighter' by the way :) keep it up

[Ally]

Thankyou! Two things I always want to display in my work are variety and consistency. I try but I know I still have a lot of practice to go...

Good work. Stay versatile though---Ive seen so many graphic designers start out with collages and never grow out if it.

I saw some designs I really liked.

i'm just going to stay away from that site so i feel better about myself

i think i know what you mean! by no means do i think i'm "good" especially when i see others work on there that is sooo creative and flawless. But i think it's a good engine for motivation and inspiration, so thats why I'm still on there :/

I appreciate your kind comment! I've been working on photoshop for 2 years, I'm still a student but there's always something new to learn on it...IT NEVER ENDS!! Sure I can give you some tips :)

very nice work. good eye for composition.

Collages like this seem very trendy nowadays. You can see relatives of it in places like the the poster for the new Herbie flick, albeit that's done in vector.

I don't let the fact that it's trendy get in the way of liking it. Good job, mate.

[Ally]

yea it is quite a trend, it's kind of difficult at times avoiding the MANY trends nowadays. If you think about it, it all kind of is a trend...minimalism, digital collages, paint splatters/drips....Can't help it sometimes! :/

I think the key is executing those trends very well, that will get attention to one's work :)

I personally to not prefer the collage type "trendy" method of design.

Setting aside my personal view, i find your compostions and use of color very successfull.

good job.

nice work ally, now could you help me figure out how to put work up in a gallery on deviant art. I just signed up but can't seem to figure it out.

.....update: I forgot to verify my account, maybe now I got it. :)
