My first official job as a graphic designer: Miss Magazine

Hi!

I'm so happy the hours and hours of work I put into these 2 graphics for Miss magazine paid off :)

I think I really, really improved, especially concerning hair and clothes shading. What's your opinion on these 2 graphics? Any advice? And which version of the second graphic do you prefer? The dark red one was used and along with the beige one, it' my favourite. The models are Rei1981 and NeonTiara.

Modeling for Miss Magazine

The owner is Cheekycazbo1 but this graphic has been done by sparklewand12.

The girl on the right is my doll. 

Entry for Stardoll Diamonds Task 3

Hey!

The task was to create an outfit based on the style of the 18th century. I googled a bit and found many dresses with a similar silhouette. Main focus is on the dress, not on the overall graphic since it's not a graphic contest. Your opinions on it? The model is my own doll since it's a modeling comp :D

Featured in Inexperienced Magazine

.. or at least i should be. The magazine has never been published since the owner left Stardoll. Here's the graphic by icanglow that was done nonetheless:

Old unfinished graphic

While creating two new graphics for Miss Magazine - I've been hired as a graphic designer - I happened to stumble across an old, unfinished graphic which was ment to be for a comp on the blog Street High Fashion. The arms are way too thin and the technique is - well, smudgy, doge&burn would describe it best.  I was quite surprised when i saw it because I always thought that I never tried long hair until last week, but well, I dod before :D So i wanted to show it to you, I like the background, the rest is old, just like the graphic, and drawn without any reference.

Some time ago, the seventh issue of RNTM Backstage Magazina was released. And guess who the covergirl is?! It's me ^.~ I was as well featured in some other photoshoots inside the magazine and I got interviewed:

Outfit made out of muffins

Task 2 for Stardoll Diamonds was to create an outfit made out of our favourite food. Since I love muffins and chocolate, i decided to wear a chocolate coloured dress with a muffin print on the skirt and a muffin as top. The shoes are random and the hairband obviously consists out of a muffin. Apart from the dress, the graphic is extremely simple and fast-made, apologies for that. if I have enough time, I'll re-do it.

A graphic without shading?!

I guess everyone knows how impottant shading is. For everyone who doesn't: That's how my latest graphic looks without any shading:

(Ignore the "dein", I merged down the layers there)

Not that nice, don't you think? I used a total of 105 layers, of which only 9 are coloured. Those are shown in the picture above. The other 96 layers are only black and white - but really important since it's the shading:

As you see the shading of the blossom is the finest part.

Logo for my German blog TSB

I experimented with some different techniques and the graphic turned out quite good in my opinion :) I am proud of the blossom, I think it is the best part. By the way, it is a tulib since the blog's name is The Stardoll Blossom. What is your opinion of the graphic? It is the first time that I did something with my graphic tablet, although only the text is done with it.
