Ay, toyed around a bit with some different brushes..

Here's the original pic I found on google.

Here's my version:

So what do you think?
It'd be nice to get some feedback on this one.

Have a good one!

The overall effect is commendable. You have used your brushes intuitively and effectively. Although I do see some problems with the blending here and there, a good job, on the whole.

Henkeball your work will get better and better with every thing you do. I can see you put forth a lot of time and effort into your design, just a little more blending and I think you will be more pleased with the end result. Look forward to seeing more of your work.---bedlam123

Definitely like the style of the second one, but it practically blinded me because I wasn't expecting it . Anyway, looks like you're getting hierarchy instinct down and your very creative, but the blending is the on thing that doesn't do so well.

It is an interesting image, but it seems to be missing a sense of coherency. A main point you need to remember is that most images need a focal point. Your focal point sohuld stand out and catch the viewers eye immediatly, then the person cade follow from that point, via stronger parts of the image until they cover the whole image. Looking at this image, I seem to be pull to the top right, but then it gets jumble because there are a bunch of features all together trying to get attention.

To try and improve this, you can trying developing contrast between different sections and maybe using a larger range of colors. Mono-shade images are very hard to develop nicely.

Also remember that when someone looks at your image for the first time, they have no idea what they are going to see (usually). Being the creator you already know what to except and what you were trying to emphasize, but the viewer will not. This is the key you shouldlook for. Make it so that when your viewer looks at your image, they see (or the most part) the same thing that you see. It doesn't have to be identical, but remember that expecially on the internet, most people don't sit and stare at a picture for a long time trying to figure it out. Most people only quickly glance, and you need to catch their eye quickly to maintain interest.

That's sage and sane advice coming from GoldNetX. If there is one thing lacking at BioRUST, it's a set of basic guidelines which give people some leverage while creating art. I mean something like the One-Thirds rule of photography. What GoldNetX has chosen to highlight is most significant. It's a facet of their creations that the best designers never choose to ignore. So, pay attention, people!
