I'm new...

Hi guys, I'm new around here.

I thought I could show you a design made for an audiojungle contest. It was only a runnerup, but it was rated as a good one.

Hope you like it

Cool design, I really like the amount of realism you incorporated in to the background of this piece.

[Carbon]

Agreed, but I think you can improve by making the cassette a little less cartoonish if you know what I mean, maybe make it a bit more transparent.

[MICHAELMANASSEH]

I think it is very dope!

[iatb]

very cool, what'd you use to make it?

[Hans Vargas]

Thanks for your good comments.
I used photoshop to create the cassette, and used photos for the leafs and water.

[NancyCarter]

I think this is a really great piece!

[Max Stalker]

Nice work !
Maybe a little more light to big leaf and some water drops will make this image even more lively ^___^

[KHDZN]

Well done!

[Yanuar]

nice

very nice. i like how you put the leaves in this image. very clean looking. thumbs up!

[DreamSky]

It looks nice.
And I like the contrast of the slightly cartoonish cassette and the realistic background - it wouldn't look that well if the cassette was completely realistic too.
The only thing that I find can be improved a little is the right upper side - where the water blends with the leaves. The water blends perfectly with the leaves below the cassette but I think it just needs slightly tweaking on the right side.

Overall I find the image really nice!

thanks for your good comments!

very nice.. what program was used for this piece?

[slbergh]

The water at the bottom seems a bit odd to me for some reason, but I still really like the piece.

Its a very, very nice creation of art. I wonder why it was the runner up. It should have been a WINNER. A semi-transparent cassette would be a good idea, I think.

[GRAF1CS]

I think it is also very nice, love the quality and smooth feel about it, very precise looking, too bad not first.....KIU though!!!

[Tyson Smith]

Nice work, May I ask how long it took you?

[Hans Vargas]

Thanks guys for your comments.

@TysonSmith
As to how long it took me... I do not remember exactly how long I worked on that, but I would say some 4 days but working only on the nights on that, due to my studies during the day.
By the way, your portfolio is really good, Tyson. I see you are a real professional. I like your work.

I did some new cassettes... and because they are totally different I post them in this new thread:

this is the result
