Jun Hiroshi's Amateurish Gallery

Okay, so far... only one image, but I would like to get some feedback for it. I worked on this for about an half hour, before having to turn my attention to something else away from my PC.
Please be completely honest.


I will be updating this, as I finish more images.

Thanks ahead of time for the feedback and replies,
-Jun

Hello, I'm an amateur like you too! Here's some of my layman opinion:

1. I would say you definitely need a better quality Uchiha symbol, it's pretty pixelated.

2. If I'm interpreting your image right, the theme is the conflict between Sasuke and Itachi. Therefore, Itachi probably shouldn't be faded that much. The Uchiha symbol is also too big and diverts the focus out of your key points, which are Sasuke and Itachi.

3. The font color feels a bit 'soft' to me as well for a word such as 'revenge'.

Keep working on it, and all the best!

Very logical, constructive, well phrased, and detailed remarks. Thank you, it gives me more of an idea of what to fix.
Here are my replies to them:

-I attempted to make my own, but found it surprisingly difficult, so used a pre-made brush from DA. I agree with you though, I'll try to fix it and update this post later.

-I suppose the theme is in that generally direction, however I was focusing more on the death of Itachi, the meaning and reasoning for the Uchiha Clan's slaughter, and the false reasons Sasuke had known up until the truth was revealed.

-The font used for "Revenge" was just a temporary fix. The image is not really to the point where it can be called finished yet, merely in a state of testing where I believe feedback is needed to improve not just the image, but my skills.

Thanks, I'll try my best.^-^

I would recommend using a different shade of red other than blood red, also Itachi's faded arm can still be seen over the Uchiha symbol and maybe you could fix it by Having Itachi be on another layer and Sauskue on yet another layer. Also have the Symbol on it's own layer so that you can put the Symbol's layer over itachi's layer.

They were all on a separate layer, before I flattened the image.
After merging them with the Uchiha Symbol above Itachi's layer, the results were even more terrible. Obvious lines of distortion were noticeable.
