<div class="IPBDescription">Picture inside..</div> Heh, this is what about 1 hour of dedicated knifing (and 3 other knife screenshots) + 15 minutes of photoshop cut+paste, some text, and some arrows get ya:
EDIT
Notice the back-to-back kill where they seem oddly spaced on the left side, just in case it is confusing why it is not flush at one point.
EDIT
See post down a little for new pic.

    And this is artwork....... how?

    Sorry, but what do you want us to do? Pat you on the back and compliment you on what fine knifing skills you obviously have? Or do you want us to compliment you on all the <i>obvious</i> time and effort you've put into making it?

    Well. I'm gonna go with the latter.

    The red arrow isn't anti-aliased, it looks extremely poor. Especially right next to the green arrow which is nicely anti-aliased.

    The choice of colours is poor at best, the pure red and pure blue really don't go well together, also the changing colours of fonts and lines deviate too much. You should try to stick with a consistant colour scheme.

    The source images are poorly hacked together, and a number are poorly taken since on some it's difficult to read the "M!6 : Hydra" text. In future take into account the backgrounds when taking source images. Ontop of that, the death message with "Kamper" in it is badly placed and doesn't fit in line with the rest and the top portion is clipped underneath the one above.

    The choice of fonts is also very poor. It's too standard and boring, in future try a sans-serif font like Tahoma or Verdana, they would be much more pleasing to the eye.

    There's also a lot of space which is wasted. I'm not sure if this is intentional, but it's a very poor use of space in this example.

    Ahem, the text is not central to it, neither the arrows, and like I said, I will probably touch it up quite a bit. I do see what ya mean esuna.. does look boring with standard text. Well I am going to be touching it up, and I KNOW its not really "art" but I gotta start somewhere...
    EDIT
    And the badly placed part is really part of the one below it so I am going to be moving it somewhere else as it does not fit in.
    It is difficult enough to take screenshots in the heat of battle, but I can touch the dark ones up, and all of them looking the same save for name is not what I want.

    Waste of space issue is because this is more of a WIP that I put together and was okay for my first try at hacking together a bunch (about 30ish I believe) images.
    So, no I am not offended by CC, it is good. I did want to make sure I pointed that out, and obviously I may have chosen a poor image size for this.

    I am using adobe photoshop, and have not really used it because of natural selection taking up my time. I have read some good tutorials on it but I will sit staring at a white blank project because of lack of anything to make, I always seem to get a block to any creativity when adobe photoshop is open =/.
    Well, off to give it another go...

    Okay, so here is my second attempt, this time I used a different font, bit of a different idea, and well... I used some pictures from the manual though, I do not take credit for those.
    EDIT

    I suggest editing out the ingame names. Some people might see this at laughing at them <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->
    I'm not sure but I think there was a debate about this months ago....

    @pic: Yeah, this is some nice (beginning) artwork <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> But I think the different objects should not stand away from the background so sharp, they should be somehow incorporated better. And the ingame shot used as a base wasn't cropped perfectly: A part of the name isn't visible, looks like 1/2 line XD

    Yes, I did that to sort of diminish the importance of the top line because all it did was show the lerk really. I also don't feel this is laughing at anyone, I just got lucky to get in the killing blow on a lerk flying around. I considered tinting all the pictures that were faded, and make them blue. I am going to try this right now so I will update the pic if it works.
    edit
    well it is not really working out. I have to go on vacation for a week starting tomorrow so I guess there will not be any progress until then.
