Bright Dress

So I was asked to make a header for The Awesome Stardoll And More and here's what I came up with:

I'm quite happy with the overall outcome but I can see sooooo many mistake and errors!

I tried a few different backgrounds, but wasn't really happy with any of them, this was the best of the bunch really!

I'm happy with my work on the hair though, at first I was dubious as to whether it would work out ok, but I think it looks reasonably like hair in the end!

Definitely not happy with the hands or any of the skin shading really, definitely having a bit of an off day where they're concerned! But as long as the customer is happy, I'm happy =)

Don't you just love it when ...

You're browsing some blogs and you see that your graphics have been taken!

Yes, this blog - Rare Items On Stardoll has decided they wanted one of my graphic for themselves, and who is this blog run by you ask? None other than "Helpful Stardoll", that annoying(in my opinion, I don't know about anyone else) blogger going around offering help to us graphic designers - the blog has been made by putting together posts of tutorials that other users have done. You're offering graphics help to users and you don't appear to be able to make graphics yourself ...

Why the user decided to take this graphic is beyond me as it's not my best work in any way - but still, it's stealing and shouldn't be tolerated! I'm just pretty angry about it!

Sorry for this rather unpleasant topic for a post, I'll be back to uploading my graphics soon =)

Behind the clouds, the sun is shining...

Finally I've thought of a good title for a graphic post! :)

Well, I haven't been making that many graphics recently as I was on a class trip, but I made this on the way back in the bus (driving for 10 hours can be quite boring, you know).

The main focus is the rays of sunlight, because I wanted to try to do a graphic with a different sort of lighting. The original photo was of me holding a dandelion, I'm too lazy to find it, but it's quite similar to this graphic.

This is the original version:

I decided it was too choppy so I tried to blur it:

I think I blurred it too much this time! I like that it underlines that the sunshine on the dandelion is the focal point. but the rest is too blurry.

Which version do you like better?

Oh, and it reminds me of this song from my favorite movie:

:D

Cover of the Issue that won't be released :L

So I was planning on releasing CHANEL Magazine this Winter but then I closed it and yeah ... The covergirl was supposed to be jelinna and I finished the cover graphic and added some writing lately.

It's not my best work but whatever :L

This is how it was supposed to look like. To be honest I don't like the dress :L Looks much more like an over-sized sweater. I like the skin but the neck skin looks kinda weird and ... messy?

The background is wintery so I like it a lot but I'm not too sure about the hair. But it works in some way..

Well yeah ... feedback? :L

A Sleepless Night

There is just too much going on in my head, so I cannot fall asleep and I am not tired at all at the same time. At least it has been a productive night - and now my eyes are a little sleepier, but not enough. I guess I will just spend my time again watching the Gossip Girl seasons 1-3 for the nth time. One would image that I could recite it, but still I cannot get enough of it. I blame it on Ed Westick, haha! Okay, enough talking. Here's the graphic I made. Hope you like it :-)

New header =)

So I made a new header for Step Up In The Graphic World, I think it flows quite nicely as an image, and I'm pretty happy with the outcome:

Click to enlarge!

I can see so many mistakes in it now that I've finished, but oh well! And I know the hair is soooo spew-worthy, please don't eat me for it^^

I really like that earring though, I think it's my favourite part =) I don't think I really love any of the other parts, I mean there are bits of each part I like, but then there's always something that I don't - anyway, it's good to make errors sometimes to help you learn for next time!

My Real Life Style

I based this graphic after an outfit I wear quite often and am absolutely in love with! I love wearing shear asymmetrical skirts(this one has shorts-duh!) and a tight corset style top. The balance between loose and tight is a very nice effect! The hair is inspired by Miley Cyrus's new look, which I actually really like!

It's kinda choppy around the arms and skirt, only because I finished this right before school this morning and I can't fix it tonight because I'm going out with my family:)

Anyways-here you are!                            It cuts off here!

tell me what you think! 

ALSO- I'm probably gonna post some tips and such at my graphic blog-

KNgraphics.blogspot.com.

The tips will concern hair, light(hitting from a certain direction) and clothing. I have my own style of graphics, so whatever tip I do give out, should be used within your own expectations and talent.

Thanks!:D
