My attempt at what I call "art"

[TYFIGHTER]

My newfound obsession with Illustrator and Photoshop has made me in a creative mood... even though Im not the most artistic person, I still like to try! So, here is my attempt at not sucking.

A mock Zelda poster thingy I made.



A Metroid picture... had to resize it to post it here.

I've gotta say, that Metroid picture is well tasty.

yeah.. nice stuff.

personally, i like the style of the clouds/explosion in the metroid one. that's often very difficult to get right, let alone with just 2 colours. one suggestion though... kraid (is it?), might be better represented by a medium grey than a solid black with a blur. things in the distance can lose focus, but they also lose contrast/appear lighter. or you could leave it as is and tell me i'm an idiot

Awesome work! I'm not "artistic"(unless stick figures count), but I really enjoy editing photos and videos, and know it can take a lot of time to make it just right.
Out of the two of them, I actually liked the Zelda one, more...not sure why though, as Metroid Prime 3 is my favorite Nintendo published Wii game.

Awesome!

Yeah the explosion was a major pain in the butt. I drew it multiple times before I made one I liked. And thats Ridley but we'll let it slide , but I didnt even think of that! Thanks for the advice! Thanks to all of you for the kind words!
