✪ DEREZZED'S GRAPHICS GALLERY
Yo, welcome to my graphics gallery. I've been designing for five years now (I started August 2011), and I used GIMP in my first two years but I've upgraded to Photoshop CS6 since and I've never looked back. So that's my main program, though sometimes I mess around with Illustrator and I'll use Dreamweaver for my coding projects.

When I was first introduced to graphic making, I only created sigs, but I've moved on from that. Now I make icons, wallpapers, and miscellaneous large pieces. You can check them out below.
*NOTE*: Sections are not arranged from old to new. They're honestly just a collection of relatively new stuff mixed in with old stuff I still like.

✪ ICONS

Spoiler:

100X100

150X150

Put them inside a spoiler tag because there's a lot and that's not even half of all the icons I've made. Icons are my go-to graphic, since I like making content for the fandoms I'm in and it's way easier for me to produce a ton of icons than larger pieces.
To view the rest of my icons (the ones that I haven't included here), you can visit my icon Imgur album. I basically make icons of all the media I'm into - video games, animation, TV shows, comics, you name it.

✪ TAGS / BANNERS
*NOTE*: Some of my tags/banners have the username "Fury" or "KB3" on them; those are two of my aliases.

Well, this is the end, so I hope you enjoyed looking through my gallery :-]
Leave a comment if you can; I like knowing what people think! I welcome all kinds of feedback, especially C+C, since I'm always looking to improve.

Dang, you're quite the graphics artist as well. Very nice work. I had a hunch when you commented in my own gallery haha. I can definitely see the difference in styles that we have.

 

[Miharu]

Frick, I knew you were very experienced with GFX since you were able to give such great criticism!! >//v//< Your GFX work are simply amazing. I love our similarities in style! I especially love your icons the most! <3

My 2 favorite tags/banners from you are:

In the first one I LOVE the color scheme. Everything is just so balanced well and the effects are simply lovely. As for the second one, I love how you smudged it. I really love how you try to keep the colors to the render's. It definitely matches the feeling from the render. (Gumiiiii <3 ) Your tags are definitely amazing, however there are a few I dislike ; v; (But we all have our bad apples here and there hahahaha also I don't know how old these are either... XD) I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more from you!! You should definitely make a GFX shop if you have time! c:

How old are these tags if you don't mind me asking c:

Thank you for the compliments! I've been doing this for a pretty long time so I'd be concerned if I didn't get good like I told myself I would, haha. And yeah, it's always cool to see how people do things differently, especially when it comes to graphics.
Thanks again for leaving some feedback~

Great criticism, huh? That's nice to hear, because on almost every forum I join I go around and make these long-winded posts all about C+C on practically everyone's graphic gallery; I just can't help it or something, I guess
But yeah, I noticed that too! We focus on composition and we also like using textures. And thank you; my icons are my pride and joy, honestly speaking. I like at least one thing about all of them c:

Oh my god, I only had a vague idea of what I was doing when I was making the first banner - my thinking process was basically just "use this texture, smudge this, oh yeah pentooling is cool too" lmao. It turned out well though, and I'm glad that you like it :-]
As for the Gumi tag, I wanted to try out smudging a bit more and I thought that render would be perfect for it haha. I still can't say I'm too good at smudging, since I force my way through it more than anything, but I have a spot for that tag too. Like, I'm not much of a Vocaloid fan anymore, but Gumi will always be my fave

Oh yeah, totally. I think every graphic designer has a few pieces they dislike, and I actually think I know which ones you're talking about (because I dislike something about them too) ;-]
But thanks again for the nice words, and I will definitely consider opening a graphics shop once my schedule clears up and I'm able to consistently make requests.

Ah, and the newest tags are the Mega Banette and Noivern tags at the top of the section. They're only a few months old, compared to the other tags which I made around December 2013-January 2014.... so I wasn't kidding when I said I rarely make tags now, OTL. There's a SOTW contest here, though, so I'm hoping to change that and get back into signature-making c:
(And on the other hand, my oldest icons are only two months old....)

DUDE THESE ARE EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this one the most --> [x]
OMG OMG

Haha, thank you! That's actually a fake movie poster of Ray Bradbury's short story "A Sound of Thunder" that I did for English class a few months ago. It's part of a collection with "The Veldt" graphic before it and "The Pedestrian" graphic after it. Glad you like it! It took around two hours to make because I was so picky with it, ngl.

 

[Cam1]

Holy crap you're stuff is good! I love it all and enjoyed looking through your gallery! Like Miharu said, with such great criticism you have to be able to do something GFX wise. Keep up the amazing work!

Thanks! It really does feel great when your work pays off :-]
And wow thank you, I just like giving out critique when I can; it's nice to know that people appreciate it. I got into graphic making with a lot of people to help me out, so I make sure to return the favor and lend a hand when I can ;-]

I will definitely keep my graphics updated! I'm resolving to make graphics and try out new things more often, so you can expect to see some new stuff in a few days/a week or so.

 

[Hatori]

I have absolutely little to no experience making any GFX art, so I'm sorry I cannot provide you with any insightful input.

I do, however, LOVE your work! Do keep up the awesome work!

 

[Toot]

You're works are actually decent. Better than a lot of the junk I see here most of the time. Lol.

Nice work dude.

Haha, that's fine. I am welcome to all comments, after all. I mean, who doesn't like hearing compliments from people?
But thanks for the feedback! I will make sure to do so ;-]

Nice work dude.

Thanks, man. I appreciate the nice words. But, I wouldn't necessarily say a lot of the stuff here is junk. Everyone's had a starting point, and our first works are bound to be pretty bad. That's the reason why none of the stuff I made in my first year are in the OP; I can't even look at them without disgust lmao. So people do and will improve over time. I don't want to lecture you, though! If I happen to come off that way, that isn't my intention haha. I just wouldn't want to put someone else's work down just to compliment myself or anything.
But again, thanks for the feedback :-]

 

[kitanii]

Your work is amazing! I especially love your icons!

Ah, wow! I love your work as well c:
Thanks for leaving me some kind words, I appreciate it. I'll make sure to do the same for you, haha.

Quick update!

I got 2nd place in the 22nd SOTW contest with this Portgas D. Ace signature:

(with text)

(without text)

If anyone's interested in how I did it, I can host the .psd file on MediaFire and post the download link later. Just ask :-]

But yeah, that aside, another update (consisting of just icons, basically) will most likely come in a few days/a week. It depends on how soon I'm willing to get all the image links together.

I also have some icon tutorials planned! I've been getting various asks about how I do stuff like monochrome coloring, lighting, image duplication, text, and et cetera so it's about time I write something for that. I think I'll do a bit of a "tutorial compilation" every month, so there's something to look forward to ;-]

Oop. My bad. I didn't necessarily mean junk as in their art is bad or anything. Lol I meant junk as things in general. I call almost everything junk. Lol

Ah, thanks for clarifying. I figured that would be the case; I just responded like that because I'm really big on appreciating other artists' work for what it is. I mean, I've seen some nasty elitist people who think they're the best but can apparently only provide insults instead of helpful critique :-/
Eye roll worthy, to be honest.

Excellent entry that was very much so worthy of second place. Looking forward to your entry in SOTW 23.

Thanks for the compliment, WonderK!
I can't wait to get to work on my entry for the 23rd SOTW either, haha. Haven't made a vertical signature in a long time, so this'll be a nice change of pace.

 

[Miharu]

You did amazing!~ Definitely deserved 2nd place!!! Congrats once again!!! >//v//< Honestly I was about to use that same render LOL But when I saw you post your entry I was like "OH SNAP okay going to re-do my sig I made a month ago using same render, but different program XD ) Ahahaha!~

Oh wow, I'm actually in the same boat. At first I was going to use a different render - a render of Charizard - but then I saw Cam,'s entry and I decided to switch to Ace, lmao. Weird how things work out, huh? That Ace render was so easy to work with, too... so sorry about "stealing" it, in a way
But thanks, your signature was very nice as well!
