What are you working on, /gd/?
This... Thoughts?
>>441091I like this. This is what I'm working on.
>>441098What did you use to make this?
>>441091materials (flyers, brochures, and business cards) for a SPED department.Maybe you guys can enroll.
>>441092Is that supposed to be a starfish?My first instinct when I saw it was that it looked too much like a hooded Klansman playing golf instead, but maybe it's just me being /pol/tarded here.
>>441102Why are you doing page layout in Photoshop?Oh, wait, it's 4chan.
>>441105I'm not finalizing the layout.I was really only experimenting with the colors. You can see on the layer tab there are hidden layers that I was messing around with.
>>441092I dig it! especially the colored version. the font choice is also very fitting. reminds me of the pan am logo.here are some minor ideas on what could be tweaked a bit. not saying any of my (very slight) changes are definite improvements. but maybe there is an adjustment or two that you enjoy. I tried enhancing the impression of movement, but on the other hand comparing these two I am not even sure that is such a good thing.
Thoughts?
>>441105what would you use? you can literally do anything in photoshop
>>441186I'd use InDesign. Because using a page layout app for page layout is what you do, dummy. I'd explain why it's important, but it's obvious you're not a designer, and never will be one. So don't sweat it, NEET.

Doing multimedia graphic design / previs stuff. It's more gd related than ic or 3 since it's mixed media and composition oriented.
Made this to show a friend of mine how I'd approach his design.
>>441099>What did you use to make this?Made the logo on InkscapeMade the document on Affinity PublisherMockups with smartmockups's free designs.>>441218My ego and self-worth has been vindicated :-)>>441282What are you making them for?
I'm trying to make the fastman material more accessable
>>441302>What are you making them for?comicbooks, ads. But when I get a better PC, since the workflow is camera oriented, animations and vids too.
I made this design just for fun. I work at a railcar repair facility. My company is going to make stickers out of it for everybody to wear on their hard hats.
I have a vinyl decal cutting machine at work which can cut out this design. The software I used is called Graphtec Studio.
The primary reference I used was this artwork created by @eskae545
>>441282some more shiet.
>>441406
>>441092lol is this Death coming for old golfers?
>>441098bro, do you even alignment?

Attempting to rebrand this local football/soccer team.
>>441442depends? what are your arguments for them to go for that change?
>>441444The current one is a copied and pasted stock photo. They were probably scammed by some dumb nigger designer.Mine is symmetrical, modular and has character(doesn't look like a yawning lion and my lion is aggressive). It's already circular thus already works as a badge unlike the previous one that require circles and text, allowing it to be used more wherever.Introducing more shades of color to the team's identity and codifying black(which has been in use by Simba for a while) to the club's identity.
how would you design a bowling alley with real life pictures? what do you add or say? fuck I have 0 creativity in this regard
>>441447i think they can fuck you over if they find out that you said nigger on this site
>>441535>if they find out that you said nigger on this siteWhile that may be true, I'm not really sure if companies really care that much to check if their logo gets uploaded to a Swiss letterset embellishing forum, much less the designers who post on it.If it were something like say, designing for Arsenal, I might understand, but "Simba Sports Club"? Really?
made this the other day
>>441586Looks fresh as hell anon.
been working on dis ayy lmao comic.Left is the original render. Middle is the color corrected one for print.
>>441588Also made all of these stickers for it. Tonnes more in the folder.
>>441586very nice anon, where could I get a paper texture like that?
>>441606I think this is the pack I got it from https://creativemarket.com/indieground/6532520-Paper-Textures#fullscreen
>>441104They don't call it The Masters Tournament for nothing.
>>441191LMAO, dumb faggot thinks no graphic design was possible before computers.
>>441407super cute and nostalgic good job anon!
>>441588>>441589these are delicious
>>441627Literally irrelevant. You're too dumb to be a designer. Probably a worthless poo, anyway.
>>441634So, this is what /gd/ considers "delicious"? Interesting.amyrm0
I wanted to try and design some covers for books that i liked. Can you give some advice?
>>441866Do a full jacket so it doesn't look like you're just working on a poster. Designing the spine and flaps is comfy.
>>441408I thought it was a dorito chip glorifying how golfers outside the pro tours are fat people
I'm getting into graphic design and logo design, just wanted to ask: Do I really need to sketch shit in order to design a logo? Why is that common practice and not just doing it all on the computer with Illustrator? What are the benefits of doing it on pen and paper?
>>441191>I'd use InDesignkek, lmao even
>>441586That's freaking cool dude, did you illustrate or was it all photoshop? I'm interested
>>441866use higher quality images - there are free databases like pixaby that you can use
>>441896I do that lol. Although I've also had colleagues who didn't so it's not something you have to do.It's just comfier for me to draw something first before I trace it into a vector. It's much more fluid to turn a figure I'm currently imaging with a pencil over a computer input. But do whatever works for you.
>>441900Thanks, honestly computer is better for me but if that's not available I'll use pen and paper, thing is I can't draw for shit so it just feels so uncomfortable to me
>>441897What's wrong with inDesign?
>>441902Don't get me wrong, it's great for editorial design and I prefer working with it over Illustrator for text-heavy designs, it really is simply better for that, but anything involving "elements" rather than text bodies is something I'd rather handle with vectors in Illustrator. Illustrator even comes with alignment focused tools like guides, bleed, and indesign-like column-row divisions in a single click. Having all three programs open and switching to the best one for the job is the way I work and saves me time and wasted effort that would be spent trying to do something in IDD that I'd shit out in 5 seconds using AI
>>441904wtf it really makes no sense to me why you would even mention this.nobody ever created a logo in indesign.
>>441898thanks anon. I just use photoshop
>>441911Gantz energy
>>441907is your attention span 2 replies long you drooling moron? this retard really out here trying to line up a shitty UI in photoshop instead of just using AI which is made for that. Get thrown under of a mobility scooter.
>>441282>>441406>>441407mm as in you draw some of these and the others are made digitally or are there more methods involved?
>>441930It's all just digital multimedia, so like, crappy low res sprites, mspaint drawings composited in blender, or doodles with a computer mouse or laptop trackpad etc.
>>441930Oh, forgot, the bracelets were photos somebody sent me, for the last pic, and the audio equipment was photographs I took years ago. the little smiley faces and cellphones and shit for those were bought off of one of those deviantart 'Instagram KPOP' png packs.

Which one's best?
>>442061
>>442062
>>442063
>>442061This. Because readability.
>>441911i used something using this as inspo when we had that one rate your work thread. i learned a lot but it's not as cool as yours
>>442062I like this one since it has a clearer negative image, but I guess it depends on the color of the speakers
>>442061FUTURISTIC WOOOOMEN
>>442071The font on the top right isn't so legible. CHARLED LECURC
>>442061>>442062>>442063>>442065due to the light rim around the subjects in the photographs, the white versions are definitely better. personally I like the black and white version the most, since it appears most tidy of them all. but I think that for reasons of wanting to draw attention to the poster actually the colored version (white) is best.overall decent posters. tho you should work more on readability. you are lacking a higher sense of structure, which makes reading and understanding its contents unneccessarily tedious.
I like drawing cartoon girls on Illustrator for fun, and with this one I tried to bring that "Adventure Quest" vibe to it.Any criticism is more than welcome!
>>441407>>441588>>441589'ery nice anon, keep going
>>441181Very nice broski, all of them are strong
>>441191You're supposed to use Illustrator you retard
>>441582I would perhaps change the line weights on the lion's snout and mane so that the snout is more emphasized and the mane less so. As it is, the lion's face doesn't read too well, it took me a moment to tell it wasn't a floral pattern.
>>441586Stylish as fuck, make some more of these
>>441091im new to this and im trying to learn how to make AR PMAG15 Engraving TemplatesI know a guy who does lasering stuff, but he said he'll do me a deal if i do the work for him.
They picked Alternative 2. I hate working for people.
>>441091First year of graphic design, started a month ago and this is my first project how is it looking bros? Objective was simply to use the tools they've been teaching us but I got carried away
>>443335beautiful though you could use more of color composition but otherwise it looks pretty good for a first workgood job anon!!
>>441442Its kind of hard to figure out what's going on in the logo. Once you figure it out it looks great but it takes some time. The bigger the logo, the harder it will be to see, i think.
>>443702For once, it looks you CAN'T make the logo bigger.
I'm trying to make an art deco miku but I have literally no clue how; even finding references for where to start is a bit of an issue. any advice would be appreciated
How to achieve this kind of effect?
How do you guys come up with your designs, specially for posters? Do you sketch thumbs with pen and pencil beforehand or do you just copy and paste shit around and go with trial and error until it looks good?
>>443940I sketch first.
>>443941Sketch, scan, photoshop, then vector.
>>443940depends on what the goal is.different settings and prerequisites do indeed inform the approach.also (and to be very frank) my brain works differently in these instances. so my route is also depending on how I feel, or what mental mode (mood?) from experience I consider more productive in the individual case.but to give a more concrete answer as you would expect it; overall it is primarily digital sketching for me that directly ties into the following digital workflows. I am much quicker exploring ideas in ps than I am on paper. allthough admittedly also not equally as sharp. either way I rarely end up with something that contains more of the original idea than the rough concept.
I need to make a cannabis related logo showing the golden gate bridge and LA city/skyline. It'll say "Bay to LA" in it. They want a fucking QR code in it too, wtf do I do bros.

Thingie i did for a college proyect where we had to design for a fictional product
>>444475
working on digital prints to sell on etsy. new to everything digital and bought a plan to Midjourney and its been so fun. hoping to make my first sale in the next 3 months which is what i read the average time would be.
give me your honest opinion do i have potential
How do I make a font? Like the mechanics of it, how do I take my littler letter fellas and get them into a useable Truetype/Opentype file
how the fuck do you do this?
>>444481I'm thinking of paying for it too. How do you find it.
>>443061Who cares if the client likes it and you're getting paid? How much did you get paid to do 5 minutes of work to add 1 aspect to the design. You're living life on easy mode if this is even a problem to you let alone more than a passing annoyance
>>444555You have the potential to become 41%
>>443061Dude you are not good at graphic design
Hi, absolute noob question hereHow can I make a line with 3 segments like the top and turn it into the bottom? I'm using Photoshop
use illustrator.

>>444476cute logo, y's descender is a bit awkward. nice mockup too, the shadow behind it doesn't really fit or work with the layering of the background.>>444555bit of a mess>>444665this one's fine too, nice subtle texture. something about the text bothers me>>444865>>444866>>444888blue one is best, but as anon above said, maybe the red one would work even better with slight color adjustments.another party promo graphic, love making these desu
>>441301Looks super cool
>>441191InDesign's ideal for brochures, books, magazines, etc. Complicated or large layouts..Laying out a postcard that's going to have two lines of text and some contact info in InDesign is just silly. Especially when you're, as OP said, playing with colors, in other words, doing image editing.

>>445884Did you do the illustration.
>>445905Yes
I tried to learn some graphic design for fun and I realized I have no talent for it
>>445909Keep doing it, if you have fun with it it means you have the passion to improve. Dont let your limitations ruin something you like, but also dont pressure yourself too much or you'll end up hating it. Talent is a myth and all of us started doing horrible shit so dont worry, all of us started in your position. You can improve i belive in you.
>>444974da>>445884nice illustration. 2nd is clean, 5th would be great with red background, 1st with a bolder title>>445887based. I envy efficient designers like youanother event, another design. not too hot on the central layout, but the new facebook header crop makes it necessary.
>>445909>no talentlel, you have exactly what it takes to get hired
>>443937just looks like halftone dots im pretty sure.there's filters for that or you can do a hard mix pattern layer of little dots
>>445927it better be actually printed with expensive metallic ink / on expensive shiny material plastered around and not just another zoomer purely digital cookie cutter concept LARP although may be interesting if thrown into c4d and rendered out as tilt shifting video in different aspect ratios (with some muffled warped industrial techno blasting in background) for social media but even that sounds soulless in current year
>>445963chill broyou can just like stuff
>>445963it's a real event, relax. I'm still working on the posters and videos. sadly not enough funds for metallic ink, that would be sick.

>>441191What a pretentious faggot. Years ago I made stuff for clients using GIMP and they were non the wiser.
>>444937where did you learn to use type and colours like this? any inspirations in particular?
>>443932Try incorporating parallel lines and diagonals into the design. Go look up those Great Gatsby posters from a few years back. And use less neons.
I've been fucking with photoshop for over a decade but never actually learned about it or tried graphic design properly (only forum """GFX""" back when I was 13)recently reignited my interest and got a bunch of books to read but I wanted to start making stuff just for practiceit's just a mock event poster but it's the first "artistic" thing I've finished in years of half-baked attempts
>>446045thanks, anon>>446826pretty much just trying to understand what makes good references work and experimenting off that. a good grasp on modernist principles like hierarchy, contrast, grid systems is key, even if you end up doing trendier contemporary stuff. I follow the likes of metahaven, timothy luke, tim lindacher, braulio amado, alex mccullough, noah baker, lion sauterleute, lucas hesse, anna mills, lucy harmony grimes. a good source of references are music labels with consistent aesthetics like pc music, ad93 and ig pages like anothergraphicdotorg
>>441407This is actually adorable
>>442065This third one is fantastic, all you need to do is fix the scatter lighting on the clothing of the 3 subjects.
>>444135Search "Victorian flourish"
>>446922Cool! This is really good use of form and color, you obviously have a knack for design. If you are open to critiques: I would suggest playing around with your composition. This is arguably the hardest part of graphic design (at least for me). I always “finish up” a piece, post it to 4chan or twitter or whatever, and then look at it and realize I should have resized my fonts or something. In your case I would give the ‘DEATHDOME 1998’ some room to breathe (move it up, and resize the center image of the woman to be a bit smaller) But this is all just nitpicking either way. Good job I hope you keep at it and post more stuff
>>447032Thank you, I appreciate that! Yeah I'm definitely open to critique, I have no real formal education in design so I have nothing but room to learn.Yeah I definitely see what you're talking about, I'm used to messing with small resolution pictures so spacing is gonna take some workI just coughed up the cash for creative cloud so I'm gonna mess with then new ps features and try to get used to illustratorhopefully I'll have some more to post soon

Picking up some royalty free content from Project Gutenberg and typesetting it is a great way to hone print skills. >>444562Are you Windows or Mac? There are a few open source type design softwares that are available for both but the paid versions are much more serviceable. Start with a trial of Fontlab or Glyphs (if on Mac) and upgrade to the light versions if and when needed. Glyphs also has fantastic tutorials on their website related to the production of fonts. >>444476The descender/terminal on the /y looks very strange, I’d transform this into a more conventional ‘schoolbook’ /y. The bottom stroke of the letter should be flattened to be parallel to the baseline. The top left stroke can connect to the righthand one slightly above the baseline (zoom into Helvetica’s /g and see how the bowl is rased above the baseline.)

i'm done designing my wedding invitations, what do you guys think?
>>449182firstly: congratulations! I wish for you guys to having made the right decision and for many amazing (troubled) years to lie ahead of you.>designidk. maybe. on the one hand it is fine. on the other hand I do have some issues with it.call me a misogynist, but I would definitely put the brides name above the grooms name. also I think the sizes of the different elements (texts, images, cards and all the stuff) isn't quite balanced in size and tone. - for one I prefer less *loud* designs anyway, but I don't think my taste to be the main problem here. to me all the relations between these elements are a bit random and uncoordinated.colors.shapes.sizes.I do not really feel satisfied by their interactions.so there you go. you wanted opinions. here is mine.
i'm getting into graphic design and i have no idea what to make, so sometimes i just hop into photoshop and fuck around
>>449182>Romanian text>English (possibly American) names>Spanish addressA most diverse wedding indeed.
>>449346Good thing to do. I knew more bt photoshop than someone who would have done a course learning the basics doing this. Those you will get easily then anyway. Layers are important, best get your ass some overview about them; how they interact and what the different modes are. Curves then pretty much do all the jobs for color/lightning adjustments.
For a newbie, what is the best approach?Learn one program at a time or enroll in that king of courses when they do a project using multiple programs? The two suitable for beginners, of course.Thanks and have a fantastic weekend!
>>449408Pick a niche, master it and move onto another.

How do I attach unique file names automatically using variable Datasets? I have hundreds of unique product images with variable text of the model name / description included in the image but when I export the Data set it will only save as the original project name. I can’t seem to figure out an action automation to copy the text within the image to then change the project name to the corresponding text within.It would be amazing if it could just pull the new file name from the CSV film column.I really appreciate the help bros, labelling manually sucks ass.

>>443061>Alternative 2 applicationsThe use of the shape of the countries and the globe behind it is inconsistent where the initial logo has both, colored application does away with the globe and keeps the countries in positive, white background application uses countries in negative and brings back the globe, black background application removes the globe once again.Is this a legal way to apply logos? Asking because I'm facing a similar situation with a face-silhouette based logo where the application on a black background looks horrendous if inverted. I'm considering resolving it the same way you did here, but it feels off to do so. Haven't done this before where the actual shape of a logo differs from one application to another. Would appreciate it a lot if someone can give me their input on this matter.

>>441181Judging by the filename you've done this ruse as far back as 9 months ago and no doubt have posted this before in other threads. I see what you're doing, very amusing. Here's your You I guess.
>>450576The filename matches the date it was posted, which was 9 months ago?
>blogpost incA while ago an /a/non wanted pic related without the watermark it had. I kind of wanted it as well, so I said to myself "how hard can that be". Turns out, it is only hard at the beginning, once you remember what tool you need and where they are, it is just really fucking tedious. Keep in mind I never did much on Photoshop, only cropped images or done a meme or some quick shit like that. I still have no clue what 90% of the tools it has do. With all this said, took me 10 hours to do it (in 2 days), and I'm not even satisfied with the result to be honest. I just cba fixing every little detail.>blogpost overNow the question. Is there a program or something that automatically does what I did? I did a quick search on Google but it didn't clear things up
>>450620Also, pic related is the original image, for comparison
>>441442needs to be simpler
>>441442damn why did it think tanzania is in Africa. Fix those damn eyes .
I don't really use /gd/ so not sure if this goes here:I got a project I need to finish and my last Graphic Designer more or less bailed out on me to draw fetish porn. The templates are made, everything is in order and all you would need to do would be to copy/paste some information within the templates, maybe find and properly crop/compress some images you found on google. There is no catch here, I'm too busy to really do it myself and I got a little bit of cash I was saving away for something else anyways. The gig is easy but it is tedious, so if you have nothing better to do over a day or two you might as well earn a few bucks.I don't know where else to post this, but I figured what the hell, right?Here is a throwaway email, contact me if you're interested. I will ask you to do a quick and simple design job once you respond to see if I'm not wasting my time, just be aware:GraniteDerby1985@proton.me
Newbie on this, please need help!What do you recommend me, make a "project oriented" course, where I will learn a little of Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign? Or go with a "full" specific program?I want to learn gd to promote my music band. Thanks!!
>>450993depends on what your goals areyou want to do print - InDesignyou want to make digital materials - Photoshopyou want to do illustrations or draw shit - Illustrator
>>450993>I want to learn gd to promote my music band.Just use Canva or pay someone $50. Learning graphic design JUST to promote your music is kinda silly. Your time is better spent on making music.
Whipped this up for funsies, really inspired by old LRG print ads and their shirt designs
Trying to figure out digital drawing, this any good? (Dont have money for a tablet so working with mouse)(Dont question the second reference, i have an idea for later)
>>444555Absolutely bro, that looks awesome! Keep it up! :)
>>441447minus the fact that the original is a copy paste stock image, it is undoubtedly better looking
it's a fun one, learning a lot
>>441102You fucking got bad skill in designing. Create a website and Monetize your content with Hydro online pajeet. You get passive revenue that way.
Not much of a graphic designer but they keep asking me to design logo's so here I go. Top is original, bottom is my attempt. I think it's alright but maybe it's missing something
>>452163after some feedback i changed a few things, like placement and making the text less boring
>>452350Soul.
>>441091I'm working on a solid products that is already on my website and I plan to Monetize it using hydro online that doesn't rely on ads.

Thoughts?(it is for a A4 sign in a gym for whey shakes)
>>441091thoughts?
>>452463is alright. nothing special but fine, I guess.it has a small shop crafty business feel to it, which is probably one of the most important aspects to it.personally I wouldn't add as many small elements. either that or I would consider filling the whole background so that it starts looking like a texture. y'know make it part of a kind of corporate identity instead of trying to make it part of the "logo". also I would definitely not make half of the words ('my' and 'toys') merge with the background noise by putting them in the little images. at least 'toys' seems like an important word that kinda gets lost at a glance... maybe it is even more important than 'unique handmade', but that is very debatable.the colors aren't terrible, but could be a lot better as well. I would recommend not picking them manually yourself, but eyedropping them from either a palette website or a professional finished design that you enjoy.I like the font.

I figured i would play with scale and depth of field to add a bit of perspective
>>452531>>452626>>452452i really like this style, maybe fav in thread>>452670added the table of contents spread as well. since the scale of the projects is highly variable i didnt want to maintain true scale but rather relative to portray the details of each 3d model.
i think im losing it

I'm working on my site. Just finished a graphic design tutorial for Inkscape on Frutiger Metro circles. I have a few warning banners for how much I've finished a certain page, and a few images that act as buttons taking you to different parts of the site. I'm procrastinating on making the button for social media links. Might get to It In a few minutes though since I have nothing to do. Maybe not. I'll see.
>>453443Also not posting the images since anyone who knows me might see this and think I'm a pedo since that's what 4chan Is associated with ;-; really sad
Some weird shit I did on my phone today.
Can I copy fonts from font catalogs, for fuck sake? Can't google the legals

>>453961qrd on ur paper and grit textures? they look sick
Don't want to make a new thread for this probably stupid question so asking here. What would you guys use to make those animated posters? Is it a combination of 3d modelling and after effects?
>>454201I use a lot of copyscan textures for grit. Just use the screen/multiply blend modes depending on the texture. Also using a good paper texture with wrinkles and folds as an overlay really goes a long way.I put together some textures if you are interested. Some are paid and there is also a handy psd for giving pictures some really nice grit. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XGjw3Q1vi4nP06pqMGXkYmf2jVQ9Odxt/view?usp=sharing

What do you guys think of this floor plan? Is it good?
>>454225why do you have a room just for a bath and why is it as big as your garage?
>>454225Won't people smell shit in the bathroom from your kitchen.
I didn't want to create a thread for this, but can anyone tell me which text alignment is better for readability purposes or why am I too fucking dumb to know which one works best? (they both look weird to me to be honest, being a designer is tough)
>>454310OF COURSE I'd forget the godamn file
>>454311>being a designer is toughyou are so motherfucking stupid, wasting your and our time with half a centimeter of indentation!the text isn't even vertically aligned with the rose bars and still you are worrying about fucking 5 millimeters?!definitely the top one. now grow up and work for 10 minutes without asking for feedback, child.
>>454312the sheer honesty hurt a little but I'll take it like a champ, thank you for the feedback, anon

>>447142>>447175>>448367what kind of prompt would one use to get something like this?
hey /gd/ I don't want to make a new thread just for this so I'm going to ask here.I'm a /co/rtoonist and I'm working on a mini comic, I'm in the thumbnail/storyboard stage right now.I sketches the logo on top and then I released that graphic design in comics is stuck on its own conventions and styles so I decided I wanted to break from that so I made the logo on the bottom, the idea is still very rough and I just know I need advice from people who knows what they're doing.I will get a vector program to do this stuff once I have to do the final design, for now I'm more comfortable sketching like this.What do you guys think?
>>441091LARPshit for fictional companiesWho wants to scream at me for improvement? i take all
threw this together in a few minutes last night and i think it's a really good way to have realistic fallout-like maps and heavily stylized characters, showed it to brother and he said the characters look too slanted to the terrain, though i don't feel i could achieve the style i am going for if i accounted for perspective when it comes to characters. I'm shooting for them to look like very stylized icons and each character to be slightly different but mostly naturalistic. I originally intended to (and might still do) make stop-motion puppets and to rig a camera in the right perspective to animate puppets but idk that isn't "hard" per se but it's time-consuming especially for a videogame.Maybe it just wouldn't work and i should instead have a highly relativized iconographic up-is-in-all-directions style but idk.Maybe if i made the camera angle lower? I don't intend on the maps being too complicated and i intend on segmenting it so you can look behind occluded areas or just not using occluded areas.
>>455098works really well

Finished this a few days back for a local podcast.currently working on a financial magazine and absolutely hating their writers cause it's a shitshow trying to get their text looking good...

just finished the vidya so made something about it
>>456174the text over and under is really odd
sticker I made
>>456174Not sure what this is supposed to be. Why is there an entire synopsis on a poster? Why the word DELIVERANCE in the top middle AND below Kingdom Come?? Why did you weather the poster? Stop doing that, you're just trying to cover up your shit designs by making it look worse on purpose. Also the kerning on ROYAL might be the least of your problems but it still puts cancer in my eyes.Don't get me wrong, it looks decent at a first glance, but that's all mostly down to the image created by Warhorse studios that you've used here which is really well made.
>>456574Cool.
