MiltonFludgecow Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 *UPDATE*Due to popular demand, I'm bringing the logo back. I don't know what came over me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake88 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Thicken and how do I say this? Um.. Make the lines more swift? So they show motion and not just wrinkles on his body. And the lines definitely need to be thickened. Think of it this way. If that logo were to be embroidered onto a hat, how many of those small lines would be lost? They'd almost be threads. To do this I'd move up the arm so it will be easier to put a larger line into that area. It's definitely a good start though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiltonFludgecow Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 What a baby, take the C&C like a man! Just so you all know, I have depression and anxiety issues. I take criticism extremely far. When somebody rags me about something, I get emotional. But you manly men wouldn't understand. Not to mention that I don't know how to delete a post. I don't think you even can! So yeah. This thread is pretty much useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egon084 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Bro, I deal with PTSD, so anxiety and depression too. So if that is a legit problem/issue for you, then message boards are not for you right now. The folks here are for the most part amazing on their C&C. I suggest that you might want to just lurk for a while and just read. See how others have taken their concept from a sketch to something to be proud of. Take those tips and apply them to your work so you can learn without being in an uncomfortable position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whittier S Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I struggle with anxiety and depression myself. It sucks. I have to take medication for them. And the anxiety and depression cloud my judgement. I have to work really hard to overcome them, and sometimes that effort takes it all out of me, just to get things done that I fool myself into thinking that "everyone" is able to do.But here's the thing. When you put your work out for criticism, the criticism (when done right, and it's usually done right around here) is towards the *work*, not towards the *person*. It's a challenge, as a creative person, to separate yourself from your work. But it is absolutely necessary if you want to improve as an artist or designer.

Spearhead Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Frankly I like both the original and the updated version. I would make the updated version have both eyes opened. In the original it's a wink, in the update he's angry and the expression lacks a 'winkable' quality. I like it, I'd like to see more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derschwigg Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 You've got some potential here, but given your struggles, please do not take this criticism personally. A) Make your outline a bit bolder, you'll command more attention. The blue/yellow contrast is a classic, so don't be afraid to thicken up the blue. The left fist is almost too detailed, whereas your right arm isn't detailed enough. If you can find a happy medium, you'll be set.C) I know you're going for tone and definition, but the squiggles on/around your shoulder make it look more shriveled/feeble than toned and muscle-y. I'd just nix em.D) Your flame-y touch is quite good, but I'd like to see a spike or two (reminiscent of the original look) around the outside. It's a bit too clean as is.E) This is just a personal preference, but the inside of the mouth is black, and that's the only place you use it. If you make that the same blue, you'll really make those teeth pop.F) Bring those motion lines on the tail to a point - it adds depth and speed.G) You could add a couple of white highlights to his brow/forehead area to break up the mass of yellow. Not needed, just a thought.You've got some skill here on this charming logo, but you can take it to the next level. Keep at it, don't give up on yourself.
