Trying an Effect...

[size=1]I would have to agree with Semmy. I do like it, but it could look colder.

I like how the text blends with the "ice", as well as the hint of an orange-ish color in the background to go against the blue. Overall, it looks like it could be the logo to something, but could probably use a little tweaking.[/size]

[color=black][size=1][font=rockwell] It's pretty nice, just needs some tweaking. For one it's kind of a little too bright. If you're going for a cold feeling, make it more dark and dreary; that'll give some sense of coldness to it. But at the same time, if you were to make it less bright, you should keep the glowing background. But lessen the little glowing background thing a tad; I'm sure that the glowingness does participate in making it seem so bright and not cold.

Don't change the brightness [i]too[/i] much, or it will ruin the overall feeling of it. Eh. Anyways, I really do like it; it looks like a logo or something interesting like that. 7.3/10.[/color][/size][/font]

Makes me think of "Klonoa 2" for some reason. oO; That or mutated Legend of Zelda rupees.

Indeed, I like the effect, but it does seem too bright. And the brightness of your subject sorta contrasts a little too much to the "sullen" background (though I think that background is shweet--oil on water). I...um...have no suggestions. Just thoughts.

Nifties. Looks pretty professional. 9/10.

[color=ff00cc] [size=1]It reminds me of popcicles. ^^;

It looks nice, except I think it would look better if the background was a little more... white. They grey makes it seem kinda rock-cold rather than ice-cold.

( Hard to explain, bleck. >>; )

8/10.[/color] [/size]

OOO! Wait--maybe it's because the ice is too "fuzzy". Or blurred. Ice needs to be sharp, to me, to make it look more ice like (if you are going for the realistic look, that is). Just another thought thrown in there for you. It's not the color, it's the texture. :)

The ice does look perfect and clean because I was going for a 3D cartoony effect, I'm going to try to soften the shadow a little and make the crystal effect sharper and more prominent on the left. I might try to make a realistic version after I get the effect I want on this version.

[B]I don't really get why anyone here thinks ice should be [i]dark[/i], but meh. I think lightening up the background is a good suggestion. [/B][/QUOTE]

[color=black][size=1][font=rockwell] Well, darkness is my home. I like it. Meh. I don't know. I think if it was darker it'd look more morbid and cold. It'd give it that whole "used and worn and dark," kind of feeling, or something. Guh.[/color][/size][/font]

Is everyone against color or something? It's hardly blinding, unless you're sitting in a pitch black room and never go outside lol.

Besides... what about this image makes anyone think it should be dark and damp? You (Mitch in this instance) are making it seem like it should look like ice in some sort of frozen catacomb or something.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think that's what SpyderDragon is going for at all. Darkening it up and making it like that doesn't seem to be the point at all based on what he's shown.

Anyway, I like it best of the ones you've shown. The background fits. It still doesn't seem ice-y though. I think some sort of transparency effects would help, maybe. On the ice itself. The color differences in it are too harsh too... I think the transition needs to be a bit smoother.

Still, I like it.

Good.

Thats what I was going for. Plain, Cartoony, yet having a somewhat 3D apperance. Its kinda a mix between and ice and snow. I'm gonna try to make a more ice looking one, but its really hard.

Who the heck is Voidix?
