Ah cool thanks for posting on ragezone, weren't expecting that though, but yea again thanks for the loading screens.

[mikethemak]

I see:


1. A background, same in both, most likely just taken from a website or ripped, even though its very easy to make. (Gradient and marquee)

2. A bar, same in both, looks like a black bar with red outer glow, and white along the top using the marquee tool. Lowered opacity, or erased on one side.

3. Loading bar, same in both, lowered opacity or erased on one side, simple to do with marquee tool using feathering.

4. A render, different for each one, both taken from renderplanet, crudly pasted in to take up space imo.

5. Random arrows that have nothing at all to do with gunz, same in both images, easily made with a brush (use the brush then rotate for the different angles), lowered opacity

6. And of course, your signature watermark text. Random text taken from dafont.com (Or another site? I have that font from there), white font, lowered opacity.







Overall rating: 1/10.

Lol'd, well done you know about GFX - Clever, but next time if you don't have anything nice to say, simply don't say it.

And, I like the loading screens, and on ragezone nearly all loading pages have fonts from dafont.com, and renders from planet renders.

And when you put that all together, it creates something like this which some people might love. Small things make nice things.

Well this one's fine but abstrack's works amaze me. The simplicity in his loading screens is unique.

C&C Help people progress. The font isnt a huge deal, i use font from there too, just pointing out how the ls was made. And the render isnt a big deal, but there was no work done on it, and they were just randomly placed in the middle of the ls. Out of all of it, i think the loading bar looks the best. imo.

Yes they do, but if people wanted something simple like this, most could easily have made it, if not found another of your abundance of simple loading screens. Most servers make their own loading screens at that rate anyways, its part of having a unique server compared to others.



Imo, you should release more then just 1/2/3 loading screens in a post, because the screens you make are small and simple, and having loads of posts in the release section about "Hey i made a new loading screen" is extremely annoying. Loading screens are the easiest and most beginner form of gunz development there is.

Okay then tell all the other people who like my work I'll stop because it's no different from anyone elses. Don't expect any other work from me.

Agreed

Mike you might be right about the Text, Renders, etc but please do not flame. Abstrakt is doing his job for the community and what he is best at. I might just ask for a request to close this thread if there is more haters/flamers.

[Guy]

Enough flaming - if I see it again, infractions all around.

OP, good job on the layout and color scheme - I suggest you not stretch images outside of their ratio, though.

I just noticed that when you typed it.

What?
They add to the signature, it'd be slightly less entertaining to the eye if it was blank. So your telling me if I take a picture of a tree and then add some swirls in the background they are random and have nothing to do with it, they add uniqueness and make it better then just a simple tree.

Also you seem to be blabbing on about how basic his loading screen is well isn't that point of everything today, good but cheap and easy, why should I waste 5 hours on a loading screen that looks amazing then spend a simple 30 minutes and make a great one and move onto something else.

Photoshop is used to ease the process of graphics, to be more organized. Don't insult him on how 'simple' they are, they still look great.

10/10

Personal opinion. I'm giving him constructive criticism from a gfx artist's pov. Anyways, i'm not going to sit and argue here again. I'm giving him advice on how i think he should improve, use it or not, not my choice.
