These are pretty sweet thanks Jaidyn.

You might enjoy getting to know AceInfinity, He does some theme work as well :grin1:

JaidynM · Jun 16, 2012

Thanks Geoff.

I've seen some of his work and he's pretty good. He has a great wall on dA too (here). :cool3:

Nicely done on the reflections and shine, gives away a true sense of verisimilitude :)

JaidynM · Jun 16, 2012

Nice, Jaidyn.

I had to stop visiting dA. Found I was spending too much time looking at everyone's art. :r1:

I still really like your Blue Windows 8 Wallpaper that you posted earlier: http://jaidynm.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d4szya9

The reflection reminds me of my workplace through a convex mirror!!!

BTW, good job!

N_J · Jun 16, 2012

Hi Jaidyn, how does this look? I am my own worst critic so your opinion would mean alot.

jcgriff2 · Jun 16, 2012

Really nice, Jaidyn.

Incredible detail, depth & reflection/mirror (my favorite) !

GZ · Jun 16, 2012

@N_J

The S seems a little high and too the left... Other than that it looks good IMHO.

N_J · Jun 16, 2012

See, Mom was right...four eyes are BETTER than two. :lolg:

As Bruce said, the S does look a bit high but that's only because of the ring around it. I'm guessing you tried to center it? Apart from that though, it's fine.

Thanks John. :)

N_J · Jun 16, 2012

I tried to center it as best as possible, I guess the ring makes the "S" appear off center.

JaidynM · Jun 16, 2012

Yeah, that tends to be a problem when centring things. You could try separating the S and the ring into two separate layers. Then centre the S and finally put the ring around it.

GZ · Jun 16, 2012

This is one of those cases where a judgement call comes into play... Because of the shadowing... the S and ring may appear off center even if they are dead to rights on the bulls-eye.

Shadows and colors play tricks on the eyes and create all sorts of odd optical illusions. I would suggest trying an aesthetic center as well as a measured center.

It's a bit too far left and a bit too high. The ring can come down one pixel and to the right one pixel approximately, and the 'S' is a bit off center in relation to the ring, as well as the overall circle. It's alright, but the edges seem a bit pixelated as well.
