Interesting, like the concept. Maybe remove the shadow off the character.

I don't really like the shadow, the text, and the blurred splatters. Change those a bit, and I think it would look very nice!

Looks like you need the Colour Wheel.

Doesnt have to look ugly if you want your colours to contrast. When choosing colours you should take into consideration what compliments what and which colors would suit the concept. And btw, since your zombie is black, everything would contrast with it. You didnt have to choose the ugliest colours just the make it contrast. :soosad:

Also, the soft shadow around the zombie is slightly annoying to look at when its put next to all the solid splatter brushing.

Overall, its a decent novice piece and with some work you could turn out to be quite a nice artist and addition to the AC. :)

That zombie is really bad, I'd just redo it and smooth out the edges.

Tried again,

I edited the zombie so that it is sharper, and adjusted the levels of the colours. I'm not so good with colours ... i dont really know how to use that wheel of colour. Anybody care to explain?

Thanks for the tips :)

Ok the color wheel, the colors across contrast etc. I'm not sure how to explain it, someone else could lol. the text still isn't too great, the zombie I would say is too sharp, but that's just my opinion. the splatters look unnaturally blurred, but it's an improvement

I think it looks pretty cool, but the "title" isn't well portrayed. A zombie eclipse kinda makes you think of a ton of zombies deterring you from seeing, well anything.

So, a single zombie in front of color splats doesn't really make sense when paired with the title of "Zombie Eclipse." Choose a better fitting name or a better fitting design, and it will be tons better in my opinion.

the zombie silhouette doesn't really match with the splat pattern. I'm sure there's a right combination of paint splatters that would complement the figure but this is not it. Also, as someone mentioned, the colors - it looks like you just chose them at random. The text: the style would be more ideal for a chalkboard/dark background - the complete opposite of this one.

Example of a good Silhouette piece:

Looking forward to further improvement. It's not a bad starting point and I'm pretty sure you'll find progress in your work later on.

lol, couldn't help but notice. I like high quality :). Even if the content is shitty (take medium offence, jaksje), I'd at least like to view it in high quality.
