OrangeBalloonCoast Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 here is pt. one of a series of concepts... C&C appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAB Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Are you aware that you posted two topics on this? Anyway, these are very pixelated and sloppy. Get rid of the white pixels around the logos and around the facemask. Also, you didn't fill in the area of the helmet inside the facemask. Some of the logos are rather large and it looks to me like you just slapped them on (hence, the pixels). If you would just take your time on these, then they could be very good.

Help?I'm new to this whole creating a concept thing, I'm just starting to figure out how to use Paintbrush & Preview, so even though I spent a whole afternoon on these, I'm afraid they'll end up being "pixelated and sloppy" rather than professional looking.

gueman Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 6 concepts in 1 afternoon = sloppy and rushed work. Nothing ground breaking here. A neat clean concept even if it is crap will get more respect on here that a cut, paste and fill craptacular that was posted. I am not being harsh but many people spend many evenings if not weeks on concepts. And just tossing crap up and saying "Hey I spent all afternoon on all these, what do you think?". Well I just told ya! Craptacular! Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. P. J. O'Rourke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I just told ya! Craptacular!I know that what I posted is "crap" compared to others... I was just trying to put my work into context when I said I was a beginner that took awhile to do these concepts. I wasn't trying to make excuses, I was only stating facts. Obviously I want to eventually do work that is neat and clean, and hopefully one day I'll be as skilled as others.here's an edit to my Maryland concept:it's looks better, but I don't think I have the talent or skill yet to improve the red, yellow and white stripes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAB Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 This one is sooooo much better. Continue to work hard on every single concept, and people will appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJaxon Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Your Maryland one looks way better than the first. I know you are anxious to get your work out there, but take your time and you will get positive feedback and at least people will be willing to help you improve.

CAB Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Florida State edit:Why the box? If the edges are fuzzy that leaves no excuse to just put a box around it. Try using a black helmet, considering FSU now has black jerseys that could go along with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try using a black helmet, considering FSU now has black jerseys that could go along with it.Yeah, I tried to just outline the FSU in white but it just made it worse because the letters were all misshapen... No black for Fla. St. though, because that's just not one of their colors as far as I'm concerned.I tried to outline the FSU in various ways, do any of these work?

dwboiler Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 None of these FSU helmets are working. Have you ever seen a team between College, NFL, Arena, and other failed outdoor leagues, use something similar to those boxes? I am not trying to be mean about it, but just because you can't get it to outline correctly in your art program, doesn't mean to throw a obviously forced box around it. In an attempt to be more positive, bring back the gold shell and make the interlocking FSU a bit bigger and see how that works. Leave the gaps in the letters gold. Also, I agree that the helmet shouldn't be black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeBalloonCoast Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 I haven't had much time to work on any of these lately. I'm basically stuck on the Fla. St. helmet so I think I'll have to come back to it later... one of the reasons is probably that like Miami, I think that their helmet is just fine the way it is... having said that here is another helmet version: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeBalloonCoast Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 this is still too frustratingly choppy, but at least you get the idea of the concept: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotCoffey Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 is the clemson pawprint supposed to look a little sloppy?

It reminds me a lot of Boston College, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
