Well, I did some art homework earlier...  I came up with it in like 10 minutes, just playing around on GiMP. Opinions on it? I think it's pretty good actually, I might use it for art for one of my bands actually. |

I'm not trying to be mean but I don't see anything special about it.

:L
Sorry, I missed out the bottom bit of the post, I was going to say do you think I should mod the top left one or keep it as it is, and if should put more Mini's on it, just I don't want to overcrowd it =/
I'll turn this thread into something useful later if you want, I just wasn't sure where to put it. Thinking back I probebly should have stuck it in the random thread :( |

 I love art |
Too much leather chair is unsightly and greatly increases your risk of leather-smell. |

Are you perhaps doing prep work on Pop Art? Because it seems like it would follow in the same vein, being a quadtych and all. Very similar and all that.
If you were going in the vein of modification of each panel though, an interesting idea to try might be to alter the background of each picture and put them in a different environment. Pulled off well, it could look kind of cool. I did something a bit similar experimenting with photo manipulation and Hockney's collage-style arrangements back in Year 10 GCSE Art. |

This was what I was looking for :P And sadly I'm not no, though I do love pop art. But this isn't GCSE so it's not that important, I was just wondering what the possibilities where when making things like this. I wasn't saying it was amazing, I am admittedly rather shite at art usually, I just wanted to know how to improve it. |

No problem ;3 You could also try fiddling around with the colours of things, which is what I did for a couple of weeks when I was doing my Graphical Design module of my GCSE too!
Gildy might also be of some interest in advice on what you can play with; if I recall he's a dab hand at the graphical side of things also! |

My best advice, other than using filters tastefully, is indeed to fiddle with the colours. Not sure how GIMP handles that stuff, but in Photoshop, that'd be using Hue/Saturation, Curves, Levels, Brightness/Contrast type controls. Also, posterise, threshold, etc. Layering a bunch of that stuff can give you some pretty wild variations without obscuring the original image. |
