Yeah they really need to add embedded images/links.

Hey, nice to see a fellow artist visiting the site.

First of all, do not think I'm bashing your work but take this as a constructive critic.

The work you're presenting here is a bit too simple, I'm talking about the 1st and last one since the rest doesn't really matter if it's too simple.

I suggest you take some time and check out some good graphic design websites to get inspiration and to have an idea of what is done today in graphic design.

Let me link you to some I like a lot:

Good luck in your future works :)

Just say it... Tom is bad :P

Ah, the first one was meant to be a patch along the style of something else I'd modified:

The guy asked me to make something similar. So that (rpa2) was what I came up with.

I've often thought about revisiting the Gearhead image, though. That was done about 3 years ago, maybe, and was the first "from scratch" image I'd done in Photoshop. But yes, I do generally go for simplicity, I guess. I'm well aware that I don't take advantage of most of the features of photoshop. None of this is professional - it's just stuff when I get a minute to myself, or if I get an idea I want to try out.

Most of the stuff I do is just image manipulation for whatever game I'm playing at the moment. The following was my signature for an event I ran in a game no one plays anymore (with good cause) called The Matrix Online:

And here's an image I made to explain the "ongoing storyline" of said game (it was my first .gif image)

Also: Mike likes penis.

...bad :(

Better than anything I could do.  Good start to things, I recommend working with some brushes/effects.

Mike, why did one of your mods nuke my post?

Not sure... I'll look into it.. :(
