i love all those little highlights and the reflected colors are great.

It's not very interesting, but for a card it'll do.

Just finished this one. It's for a friend who today Jan 19th turned 30 years!



C&C welcome!

Nice soft colors, although a little too unsaturated (happy events such as birthdays should be bright and colorful, joyful, etc. but 30 is 30 I suppose, I'm facing that myself in a few months.)

I would have made the balloons a little more uniform in shaped, less distorted (balloons usually expand rather uniformely), and would have made the edges a little sharper and not as blurry (the numbers are True-type crisp, while the art isn't). The string could stand to be a little smaller and delicate, less harsh and coarse (violent and brute-full), perhaps some colored twisted ribbons would have been more appropriate, as some confetti in the background and all (as corny as it all is).

I hope I didn't go overboard on the crits. It's a nice pic, and a sweet gesture to a friend!

Frost, yup, 'good old' Future Crew.

And I know what you mean ... but just wanted to make the balloons less 'balloony', i.e. it was a conscious choice to make them have an odd shape. Also about the letters being too crisp, that's true. Confetti on the bg would've been a nice touch, but didn't think about the picture much when I made it - just wanted to get it done (worked on it for an hour or something, maybe a bit more).

Well, making stuff twisted and 'cartoony' isn't my thing really - and that propably shows a bit too much. All in all I'm quite satisfied with the result.

And thanks for the comments guys.

Heya Marvel sorry to interrupt your thread, you worked on Max Payne? What parts did you create?
