Any comments, critique, suggestions are welcome, thank you!

Question 1: How is this even remotely GW related?
Question 2: Did you even make the abstract backgrounds?

Well as good as the pictures are, they're nothing different and nothing too creative when you think about it.

why are you guys trying to undermine someone? they're just showing their artwork, it's just not necessary to be so critical about it...

No you're not, your badgering him and frankly, you're being down right rude about it, and you know it. So don't pull that bs with me, save it for your mother. I'm done.

Sorry, I misread side as "site" <_< The first is from Samurai Champloo, I cant remember where the ninja is from, googled him, and the last is from Dragon Ball Z as you said.

1: I'm sorry, but does it say somewhere I should post only GW related artwork here? I think it just said share you're artwork.

2: Yes, ofcourse I did, with Photoshop.

And please, no need to start fighting here, he's right; They're not very creative I didn't really realise that until you said it. I'll be sure to try to make something more original next!

Well, it is a GuildWars Fansite.. So its generally implied, some other forums such as GWO explicitly tell you to only post GW related artwork.

If you actually made the abstract backgrounds in photoshop (not photomanipulate and blend), then I think you're damn good in photoshop. If not, which this is what I more or less assume.. Because it does look more like 3Ds/Maya/Cinema renders, then you really shouldn't be quoting it as your artwork without any credits.

Don't get me wrong, being able to blend and make nice pictures and such if even through photomanip is still art, and is nice art... But its not really nice to the original artists especially if you're claiming that its your work.
(Which would also be called plagiarism which is illegal. Of course, I'm not saying that you did.)

-----------

Nilene dear, calm down. Even if Zen did come off a bit forward, you still shouldn't take it so personal. Thats the problem here on these fansite forums, everyone takes every damn thing so personal and nobody can take critiqing... Nobody can even stand a dirty look, if nothing was even was said. Honestly, its like little children in grade school. "But mommy mommy, he looked at me!"

Which by the way, here you go:

critique

1. an article or essay criticizing a literary or other work; detailed evaluation; review.
2. a criticism or critical comment on some problem, subject, etc.
3. the art or practice of criticism.
–verb (used with object)
4. to review or analyze critically.


&
critical
1. inclined to find fault or to judge with severity, often too readily.
