would be great to get contructive critique again!

thx--> tyron

It's big, a little too big for an 800x600 screen (which is what you want right?) You are forgeting about the toolbars, scrol bars, and app edges. You need to scale it back a little.

The texture looks more like canvas than a "smooth" plastic monitior, and unless you are a *very* messy eater, your not going to see stains that bold. They need to be toned way down. As long as we are talking about edge, what is that one little nick in the upper left all about? The Pipe thing on the left doesn't have the same light source as the rest, it seems that it's light source is more center than upper-left.
It's not that exciting or appealing really, but it is a good start, you need to play and have fun with it. Don't make designing a painful experience for yourself.

Eww, rust...
(You can tell I don't like rust)

First off all: Thanks <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">

It will me a frame for some flashthing, so the width and the hight is from no interest right now. With the lightsource you are right, I have to fix this. The stains.. hmm what to change.. hmmm the bloody things are quite ok, I think, but the rust is the prob as always.. will play around with it a lill..

thx for the first... .. .

Sloloem: Woooow how did you get all the posts.. last time on Friday it werent that much and: I know you dont like rust <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/biggrin.gif">

Have a nice day!

I dunno, man...and I am getting hella 500 errors today, is anyone else?

tyron,

it's nice start, but it looks too simplistic. Sorry to say that... I'm sure you probably put a lot of work into it. I think the texture on the "metal" is awkwrd. The rust tells me it's supposed to be metal, but it doesn't look like metal. Try tweaking the curves to get a shiny metal look and then the rust will look twice as nice on it. I'll get a picture of what I use sometime and post it. It's really simple to get a nice look. The "blood?" look out of place... I'm not sure why it's there... or if it's even really blood? Keep up the good work!

Rust never looks good...*barfs on the rust*

thats a matter of tase in my eyes ...

Looks good, is it finished?? Is the red stain at the bottom blood??

nevey-> is ment as blood, yep, but I think all in all it is too hard for what it will be used for later on.. and: nope, it is not finished yet..

Cliche. Overused.

also thx... .. .

well done critique. isnt everything overused? did I say I want to make something astonishing new? so what...

but as I said: thx anyway

Try making the blood 3Dish so it has a wet appeal.

What do you mean by 3Dish?

Take a look at Human Shields blood look.

Ahhh, ok, that is what you mean.. K , will give it a try.. nice idea

Here's another example of runny blood... mmm... that sounds tasty!



Though it's not as shiny. You'll want to tweak your curves to get a good shiny wet look.
