Hope this thread isn't dead yet.

Hi, using devianart.com as a blog is probably why I commented here. Because 1st, this isn't a blog and 2nd, other blogs' skin design are far from impressive. I hardly known you’re a graphics designer, before. Maybe you want to create some project together?

Anyway I was saying, the fusion image design looks impressive, and I'll say it’s flawless without the kx container and you could have some textures on the black anchoring lines. You might also want to save it at a larger resolution (1280x780) so it’ll look good.

You must know those favorite art of yours (and *most* of the artworks featured in this website) isn't purely done on any 2D platform (Photoshop, Fireworks.../). In fact, most of them were digital images or models touched up in Photoshop.

Here are some of my works done by modeling: [link] You can see they’re more detailed and realistic because 1st, they’re created by a much more powerful software, 2nd I’m good (J). Kidding. 3rd they’re saved at a higher resolution. My only exception in using 2D is to create the effects like shadow-maps, light-maps or bump mapping.

Talking about abstract, and being more of a programming (not designer/artist) guy, check out my websites: 1st [link] 2nd [link] 3rd [link] . The top banner in my 3rd site is created in pure 2D.

You know, to create any image as realistic possible, you must have it look shabby, dirty and not perfect, or cover-up with more details.

Oh yes, if you hadn’t know who I’m yet: [link] (yes, more websites…) Any queries, all goes in jingquan@orandysoftware.com.
