Critique my photosop?

Ok, well, I just got Photoshop a few days ago… And here is my first grunge desktop… [hope it works]

Nope.
:edit: :edit again: Ok the image is below, I got it working :slight_smile: :edits:

I don’t know if this works with Angelfire, but on Geocities you can rename your file to .txt and it works great.

The wallpaper seems a little empty.

I see a few of the brushes from nocturna as dark grey hidden in the corners, but thats about it :-\

It needs more :slight_smile:

lol I think your screen is to light…
:edit: Cancel that, I think your screen is too dark

Actually my screen color is too dark, and it is at its brightest. I hate my monitor… I really do.

But still all I see is just a few grunge brushes around the edges here and there.

Is there more that I can’t see?

[edit]don’t edit your post until after I post…lol[/edit]

lol. ok maybe this will work…

a little more, not to much, but its kind of a simplistic wallpaper. Do you know where I can get some good “droplet” brushes, like drops of ink type deals?

go to adobe studio exchange. Lots of brushes. Your pic is a good start just add a lot more to it. The trick is knowing when to stop.

how about this…

Still mostly just a bunch of fancy brushes, but that is much better, it is awesome.

The blood splatter spots add an awesome effect to it :slight_smile:

yea it is just brushes… I don’t know how to manipulate the filters etc… very well yet.

Big improvement from the first image none the less though :slight_smile:

Keep it up :slight_smile:

Thx, I’ll try =)

Ok, suffer through 1 more… THis I did right before the last one…

this was my first with a ton of new brushes. Some of it I meant to take out…

Odd order to put them in then :slight_smile:

I like that one too :slight_smile:

lol sorry about the order. THx though.

No need to be funny. I am just being my quirky self :stuck_out_tongue:

So this is what grunge is. I’ve seen it, but never realized what the correct name for it was. Reminds me of art by Jackson Pollock. He spills and flings paint onto the canvas while he’s drunk and still manages to create art. :-\

sounds fun…

Grunge is art that is made to look like a dirtied up photo or canvas.

It isn’t like spatter paint, there is actually technique to it…lol.

I suck at grunge kind of :-, I am too structured to be able to just toss things here and there…lol.
