Samurai Heartless

[Flames of a Phoenix]

While the Dragoon heartless looks awesome, it would have been a cutting (wand) nightmare due to unnecessary ending lines. So the Samurai was the second option.

Played around with arbitrary image rotating, text, and rastering shapes. It's not "blending" I think, but, whatever. It's an amateur's shot. Same basic stock + smudging + text + details.

C&C, fortuna bona.

Matching Avies are for nubs.

I think the black bar will look better on the right.

I think the black bar will look better on the right.Where it would make the right side heavy?

Text =/= Stock + bar

[book]

Like a little away from the right edge.

It seems a bit... Unfinished. The entire thing seems a bit.. Underdeveloped.

Try giving it more direction.

Also, put your border on top of everything.

He did. Look closely.

I don't know... the signature seems a little unfocused. I'd suggest trying smudging at different strengths and different brushes. Brusing at 100% strength can give you a very different effect than brushing at 60%.

To be completely honest with you, I'd like it better with no stock at all (but obviously then tweaked a bit). But then again, I like things fairly simple.

Looks cool, but a little bland in some way I can't explain. I love the text however, but not in the way you would think. I like what it says alot, but not how it looks. I. am. NOBODY. A statement that is so true to the game.

By the way, I love KH2 alot, so anything involving it will get my attention.

Ahem...


Anyway, the stock doesn't really go with the background. I'd also say it's a little too small.

The rest of it is okay. Better than anything I can do.

...hey. =(

Anywho, I'm diggin' the background, the text, and the bar (for once). Not too crazy about the stock, but I haven't really been into KH to know the significance. But the stock really kind of stands out. That's the only thing I don't find appealing about it. I like the afterimage-type effect behind the Samurai Heartless. Great job, you're not that amateurish.

[clown master]

Yeah.. I see now. It's just kinda overpowered by the white.

Calling people "nubs" is for "noobs". =P

[Black Panther]

I like it, it looks cool.

The only prblem is that my eye seems to be pulled to where the black bar is not to the pic that looks fantastic by the way. Maybe you could make the bar lighter or the pic darker.

[orange peel]

No doubt a sw33t banner.

Like your Axel sig too. What's Axel from other than Kingdom Hearts Chain? He's so popular for some reason.

I like his two marking under his eyes.

Make the font different for the AXEL words and make the background dark.

[Blayze Ciddy]

And so is calling people noobs.

[Flames of a Phoenix]

I didn't make the Axel banner. Just cropped and stuff. And Axel is a Kingdom Hearts original.

The stock doesn't go with the background how? Colors can't be it.

The reason people probably don't like the Nobody (not a Heartless, stupid me) is because it's not blended.

[Yata-Garasu 1]

it has no direction or flow.

[Flames of a Phoenix]

it has no direction or flow.YOUR MOM HAS NO DIRECTION OR FLOW.

I mean. Yeah, I guess. I tilted the Nobody so it would have more movement. And shows his arm more.

[Darth Payne]

I thought this would be a thread asking for help on how to beat Samurais Lol.

Anyway, the banner is great. Are the periods after the words, i am really necessary?
