    honestly, i wouldnt spend 3-5 hours on a peice, i do mine in parts, like il sketch it in pencil, then outline, then wen im bored i will fill it, i have so many peices just laying around that have got no farer than the sketching stage, cuz once you do the outline, you should think, oh man i coulda changed it there and switched it up a bit there.

    and amk - when uyou first started that style i thought omg no way, look at the first sketch honestly i thought you were an idiot, but then i didnt come on until that havok peice and i would easily say they are your best letters, the detail, extensions set in the right places, everythnig makes it better

    snot. it has good flow but i dont like the last letter. is it an A?? because the way the crossbar conects on the left is a bit wack. but as an overall piece i like it.

    amk. i totally agree with rayse. when u put up the first letters i was like. aww hell no. but it quickly developed. keep ur old style handy but develop this one to perfection for sure. the havok is the best

    wacksac. i wouldnt add any more stuff. if anything i would take off the bits on either end and drop a 3D to the middle and a simple color job itll look pretty sick. but all the extra connection ticky line things arent necesary it has the makings of a nice simple piece. i would keep it simple.

    If you separated these letters and took a look at them on their own, only the k would look right and even then the right leg extension is off. Find a way to balance your letters out, the huge left leg compared to the half sized right leg isnt working on your a and m.

    Kezia, work on your bar weight. It's all over the place.

    This is all ive sketched in a while, might bust a few outlines out tonight if I feel up to it.

    amk i disagree with Sou. i think that that piece has excellent flow. making the letters similar and not simetrical works really well. especially with the connection all along the bottom.


    does. they look good . i like the bottom one best. but the top right bit on the D isnt right.

    does - yeah the top one's d looks a bit too big. the bottom one looks alright though
    asma - maybe make the top of your m like the rest of the other letters tops?

    a battle in another forum. says fourth

    I never said it didn't flow, I just said the letters are disproportioned to the point that if you took them out and looked at each one on it's own it would look bad. Each letter of a piece should be able to hold its own.

    exhale your letters are on the verge of illegible and it's mainly because you are using so many layers. Try incorporating drop shadows on the letters or attaching more of those bars together. The structure is there (except for the r). Keep at it.

    First attempt and a new style and first legit attempt at adding a decent amount of add ons. any crits before I ink it?
