Topic: The Arts / Piano music!

Nice!

And I suggested putting each part separately in this thread :)

Topic: The Arts / My music in a Game Trailer

Hey DrumJ8, congratulations :) The game looks really good.

Would you mind posting a link to the full piece? You’ll make things easier for us to give you feedback and enjoy your song :)

Topic: The Arts / Piano music!

Hey 0ii0, nice Youtube channel. I like your stuff!

For how long have you been playing? Are you learning to play with a teacher or alone?

I suggest you checking this channel, you’ll find lots of cool piano tutorials in there :) Hope that helps!

I suggest you embedding the links to the pieces next time instead of linking your channel. That wway the thread will be more appealing and neat, and you’ll get more feedback on each piece!

Good luck!

Topic: The Arts / Help wanted!

You have improved a lot, Kisame. I like that last sig. There are some details you need to fix, though. I think that smudging a bit the lower part of Samus and burning the left hand and a part of the arm a bit would improve the flow of the piece greatly.

Also, I’d add some glowing flare effects to the cannon. Maybe a C4D would do the magic.

Another issue with that sig is the focal point, the right arm is so bright that it’s stealing the attention from Samus’ helmet. This is caused by the lack of light source, in my opinion. I’d create a light source in the upper right side of the canvas, maybe that’d help.

Putting a text into a sig is one of the most difficult things to achieve. Most of times texts steal the focal point, ruin your flow and sometimes it just doesn’t fit the tag. The first thing I suggest you is choosing small fonts, an if possible choose a font that suits the tag’s theme.

Also, you don’t have to put a text in your sigs, sometimes they look better without them :P I’ve seen a lot of wonderful signatures ruined by the texts on them.

Here you have a couple of useful links :) I hope you find ’em handy!

Topic: The Arts / Ambiental music; WIP (The crystal whale).

Hey Kemial, thank you.

Yep! Of course I know that piece. You are right, it reminds me of that part too.

Yeah, I guess the piece is a bit monotone. I’ll work on it and upload a better version later.

Thank you for your input!

Topic: The Arts / Ambiental music; WIP (The crystal whale).

Thank you TWA, it’s always encouraging receiving positive feedback from an artist like you.

And you are right, I influenced a lot your opinions with that title. When I showed the final piece to my brother today and I mentioned the whales song he started laughing.

I must be crazy :P

Topic: The Arts / Ambiental music; WIP (The crystal whale).

Hey everybody,

How’s it going guys? It’s been a long time since I shared one of my pieces with you, so I felt like sharing this piece which I finished editing today. I wanted to get some opinions and feedback, if possible :)

The arpeggiated chords remind me of the whales… maybe I’m a bit crazy. I tried to imitate the whales song at first, but I failed at getting a good sample, so I tried to create those sounds myself.

Feedback, criticism and comments are welcome. Thanks in advance!

Topic: Off-topic / What albums you've been listening to

Underworld- Everything, everything.

It’s a live album. I love Underworld, if you like electronic music then you should give this band a try!

Topic: The Arts / Kongregate Musicians (Megathread?)

Hey 1337al, nice thread :)

May you please add me to the list? I do experimental and instrumental stuff.

Thank you in advance!

Topic: The Arts / Gorillaz icons

It would be nice if instead of asking us to send you a PM in order to get those icons you showed us some examples of what you can make, so we can check your skills :)

I’d like to have one of Noodle using the mask, please :P

Topic: The Arts / GIF Test

Nice, those look great for being your first tries!

Why don’t you try making something bigger?

Keep it up.

You grab your mouse and scroll the cursor over the “community” tab, or over your name.

Topic: Kongregate / New Kongregate Version: New navigation and footer test and changes to developer payment history pages

I love how some people hate the new layout just because they were accustomed to the old one. I mean, the same people would have been reluctant to the previous change, but then they ended up liking it.

I think that it’s just a matter of getting used to it. Instead of hating just for the sake of it, don’t you think it would be better to give constructive feedback?

Time for a bug (I think) report: While playing a game, when I scroll over the new tab, the game screen goes black. Is that supposed to be like that? Because I think it’s very annoying.

Also, wouldn’t it be lovely if we could have a week devoted to the old Kongregate layouts? :P

Topic: Kongregate / New Kongregate Version: New navigation and footer test and changes to developer payment history pages

While I do like the new features and layout, I agree with Reimu hakurei,the information on the bottom of the page bothers me a lot and in my humble opinion most of it is useless or could be compressed.

Maybe my opinion is biased, since I’m Argentinian and we don’t have any GameStop centers over here, therefore I don’t care about the PowerUp Rewards, for example, or maybe because I’m not a developer.

Still I like it overall, and must admit that the page is starting to look moar liek srs bsns.

Topic: The Arts / [Group] Prophets of Pixels TWO

Guys, stop it or I’ll lock the thread. Some users have already asked it nicely, please refrain from posting if you are going to argue instead of debating something art-related.

Thanks for understanding.

Topic: The Arts / Rate this song

I am, heh. I’ve been a fan since I was eight and their first album came out.

However, and even when I hate doing it, I’ll have to lock this thread. The Arts section is a place for posting your own material, and getting feedback.

P.S: How ironic, I’ve had that song stuck in my head along with Broken for a week now.

EDIT: Kablob, if the song you wanted to link us too wasn’t that one and it was one made by you, then send me a whisper and I’ll unlock the thread :)

Topic: The Arts / Rate this song

I don’t think this thread is about rating the song above.

I think he might be asking for feedback, but as I can’t listen the song he posted I’m not sure.

Topic: The Arts / Rate this song

When I try watching it a message which says “The user who has uploaded this video has blocked it in your country” appears.

Topic: The Arts / My new Mural

I really enjoyed watching the process, and I find really clever the way in which you represented Costa Rica’s culture in your paintings.

Muy buen trabajo, de verdad! Me encanta tu estilo, vi todos tus videos de tu canal de Youtube y debo admitir que es fresco, divertido, colorido y sobre todo muy gracioso. Felicitaciones!

Amazing job, as always! :)

Thank you for sharing it with us.

Topic: Off-topic / Help me OT, ur my only hope

I thought I had killed Pig ’n Heron a long time ago.

Psh.

Topic: The Arts / listen to my song

I didn’t like the song.

The quality isn’t good (maybe it’s my headphones fault) and it seems a bit repetitive. I didn’t like the voice loop either.

The chords progression is fine, I’d try experimenting with other sounds.

You have a lot of room to improve that piece :) I wish you good luck!

Topic: The Arts / This is me playing a slow, emotional solo on my brand new E-guitar

Nice!

I like your music because you always come up with new sounds :P

Can’t wait to see the final product. Good luck :)

Topic: The Arts / New atmospheric, ambient tune of mine!

Oh, I see. I’m looking forward to an updated version, then! Good luck.

Topic: The Arts / Can someone make me a cool profile picture?

Try being more specific. We all have different tastes and opinions, therefore “cool” is very ambiguos.

Topic: The Arts / New atmospheric, ambient tune of mine!

Very inspiring. I had to listen to it three times to understand it, and get the flow of the song. Before giving any suggestion I think I’d rather see the film first. I like how chaotic it is, yet peaceful.

Did you use the title of the track as concept for this piece? Nice job, as always.

What VST did you use, Kemial?
