Project is done, please lock... thank you all for the advice...  I never tried any ISO work before, so i gave it a try... this is tehe result so far...  Edit 1:  Edit 2:  (Tiles and grass added, + non black outline edit) Edit 3:  (Greenish colour on the floor added,made the floor more grey and improved outlines). Edit 4  Logo's added, last few small changes, and well... i think its almost done...?  Edit 5:  (Pool is broken, but i think it doesnt look got yet, so im gonna edit it a bit more... Edit 6:  (this looks better i think...?) Edit 7 - (a bit of) contrast and saturation edit...  Still not too much contrats, but it shouldnt be more in my opinion... Edit 8:   AA logo, and second one i added shadows of a guitar and a microphone... (I also tried to make someone playing a guitar, and tried to make the band completely under water, but well... 1. The char was still too large 2. I think, when i add anything more, it gets too confusing and it looks good without the band added, so ill put some kind of story to it when i post it on the PJ gallery). Transparent/Gif Version  A Brand is one of my favorite bands  and i decided that would be my theme... besides the logo, you see an (old) swimming pool, which they used in one of their photoshoots...: (maybe im also gonna add the 5 men that you see in the photo, and the bushes under the diving board)... i know the pool etc are quite large for a room, but im more asking if there are any things im doing wrong so far...? and of course ideas are welcome... ------------- http://www.mega.freeforums.org/ < PJ Member Dran's Multimedia and RP Forum |

I'd get rid of the black outlines on the pool and the divingboard. ------------- |

Tiles and grass added. I also have a bad version of a Non-black outline edit. (And i like the black outlines in this case, the diveboard is not visible enough, but ill try again (change colours of the floor compared to diving board). Edit 3: ------------- http://www.mega.freeforums.org/ < PJ Member Dran's Multimedia and RP Forum |

You should maybe add more details. (dirt, grass) on the ground. Make it even more destroyed... And destroy the pool too. (the edges)But you did a great improvement and your materials are really nice.

The overall pixelling is good and any Joint room with a story is always great. This somehow fails as a standalone pixel unless you are familiar with this band. Maybe the band could be added or some other point of interest.

Alrighty... first off I think only retards feel the need to sign their name on a piece (especially before it's even finished and not even close enough to being a work of art that someone would want to steal... sorry bud... tough love here) I decided to work off your first draft in my edit to prove some points: 
Lastly, add some kind of dynamic to your scene. Add the band, someone swimming, someone diving, a lifeguard, anything! Too many boring pieces are made for the joint. I think a basement should be made as storage for the bottom rung submissions personally. Use some creativity... I know you've heard of it. ------------- |

I really like the idea of an abandoned pool for an ISO room but I would remove the band name from the image. It just doesn't fit and if you are not familiar with the band it is meaningless.... |

Yes, ive heard of creativity... maybe it would be an idea to make a mirror, and with the band in the mirror and not in the room? (But where to put the mirror... thats antoher problem)And well, about the contrast... i guess its a bit my style to have soft colours and in this case low contrast... ive been looking in photoshop what contrast looks best, (so i can decide how i want to edit it in paint) and well... i will maybe post a result of that, but i think it doesnt look too great... (EDIT:maybe it does look good after all xD): (let it be clear that i dont use psd to edit colours, but only to look what the edit will probably look like) And thanks for your comment ------------- http://www.mega.freeforums.org/ < PJ Member Dran's Multimedia and RP Forum |

| I know I am a big rookie, but I have and idea for the "dynamic" thing: maybe you could add a reflection of a person in the pool, but not the person itself. |

Edit 8: AA logo, and second one i added shadows of a guitar and a microphone... (I also tried to make someone playing a guitar, and tried to make the band completely under water, but well... 1.
