Illuminate - GFX showcase thread
Manlosa drops a 1920x1080 GFX piece called 'Illuminate' and the whole design crew shows up to gush over it
A short showcase thread in the GFX Basement (Art and Design section) where member Manlosa posted a wallpaper/graphic piece titled 'Illuminate'. Regulars and staff piled in with quick praise, one member asked about the stock images used, another shared a screenshot of it set as their desktop background, and a critique came in near the end about the sharpness of one element versus the rest of the composition. Site owner TuxifieD even encouraged Manlosa to bring his talents back to work on official fkn0wned graphics.
That's pretty cool. You need to be doing some fkn0wned shit.— TuxifieD
Nice one Manlosa, you've improved quite a lot. Which stocks did you use?— DarkRood
This is awesome shit. You should get back in gfx crew.— #420
Mediocre work - GFX Basement
A member posts self-admittedly rough smudge art and the forum's resident GFX critics deliver polite but honest feedback.
In the Art and Design section's GFX Basement, member CandleJack shared some digital art (smudge/render work) posted via imgur, self-deprecatingly titling the thread 'Mediocre work' and asking for critique and comments. A few regulars weighed in with genuine feedback comparing the two pieces, noting one smudge attempt looked decent though 'boring' while the other had visible mistakes. It's a small, low-key exchange typical of the forum's design subculture, where members workshopped GFX skills like smudging, C4D renders, and brush techniques.
I'm not sure where I was going with it as I was blasted at the time and it was my first try at smudging.— CandleJack
The smudging on the second one looks solid. Albeit kinda boring.— simonheros
try C4D's, fractals, splatter brush clipping masks etc.— Faux
um hi this is awkward
ThePanda begs for spare Steam cases and gets roasted for having a non-panda avatar
A short, low-stakes thread in the GFX Basement where longtime member ThePanda posted a Steam trade offer link asking for spare CS:GO cases as donations. Fellow member Puree jokingly derailed the thread by mocking ThePanda's avatar for not actually looking like a panda, and Mega dropped in later with a one-word compliment and a list of SOTW/Deviant Art award mentions. A quintessential small, casual exchange typical of the forum's community banter.
That's not a panda, what the fuck is wrong with you?— Puree
Got any spare cases you don't want? Be nice and donate it to me— ThePanda
